Progressive01: well the issue is not about religion cos the government will do same for Christians and we should frown at it irrespective of religion. However the subsidization for christians was done at a time when official rate was 187 - so we are looking at at 27 naira subsidy. The current subsidy is about 120 if we use the current official rate (Form A4 rates). The subsidy provides a big opportunity for rent seekers and bureau de change operators as you can be sure there will be peeps who will get the subsidy but will not even travel. Also the timing: the recession now seems worse. The naira has fallen so badly (my salary is terms of value is halved). How can you ignore school fees and medical bills even coming on air to say Parents should forget about sending their kids to school abroad and the you subsidise a religious pilgrimage. ignore the PDP apologists. It is politics and people will always un-duely castigate their opponents especially when they are yet to get over a defeat. 2 Likes |

BUHARIISCURSED: Your best friend is a Muslim? Dude tell me you are being sarcastic. I wonder how the relationship between you and your best friend will be after he discovered how you view his religion. Common sense is not common after all. |

Guy, you are so on point. But my grouse with this govt isn't about bigotry. Responsible governments have no business subsiding anything 'religion' in a secular (so called?) country, and more especially in a country where religious organizations do not pay tax! Businesses are groaning under the excruciating weight of our dead economy (it's been 15 months since Buhari took over,.......lets stop blaming GEJ and his band of treasury-looting rogues, today the blame is squarely Buhari's!!!). Legitimate business can't access forex, and yet govt is subsidizing pilgrimage with scarce forex!!! Recently I needed to send cash to my 5yr in the US for a birthday bicycle. Normally, I would transfer to his mum's Zenith Bank account, and with her atm card she withdraws in the US. so I did that, only for her to be told at the bank that all Naira atm cards from Nigeria have been deactivated (a Buhari policy). Now I had to find an alternative. So I changed N70k to $200 (@ at N350 to a dollar, ard 7th July), paid it into my GTBnk dom account, from where it was wired to America, at a transaction charge of N14,000. Is this really the 'Change' that was promised us? Is this the 'Change' we vigorously campaigned and voted for?? Economy policy-wise, Buhari's govt is absolutely lost. God save Nigerians......... |
