Shoud The Nigeria Government Continou To Sponsor Pilgrimage In Nigeria? by brosB: 7:51am On Jul 12, 2012
In two years the Federal government has spent 10 bilion naira on pilgrimage to the so called holly lands,in the midst of object poverty among its citizenry,they say it is to go and pray for the country is our God not omnipresent? Can't we stay here and pray and God will hear?Must government sponsor pilgrimage? Has the pilgrimage change the evil mind of our leaders who are unrepentant thieves?the bokoharamist and their sponsor don't they go on pilgrimage? What is your take on this?

What? The Nigerian government actually spend the people's money to send Muslims to a rich Islamic country? This simply demonstrates a serious misplacement of priorities.

Can you blame whites or other races sometimes when they say that blacks are simply too stupid to make any meaningful progress in world.?
I magine a country with so much poverty and so many needy,with no welfare programs for the diabled, homeless or even orphans, spending billions of naira to cater to people's relious fantasies.
Stupid is an understatement, it is more like brain dead.

$62.5 million could have improved some roads , which would have made transportation easier and contributed to economic growth in the long run, but NO!, good old religious black folk have to do things like waste money in countries whose cultures they have placed on a pedestal.
But what do you expect from a place where people say things like, "we are not of this world" and "the spiritual is more real than the phyical"?

No sense of pride, no sense of history, no common sense, just unthinking religious drones pouring cash into the economy of foreign countries because they are focused on the "afterlife" that apparently starts wiith slavish devotion to foreign cultures. (one of them started a thread asking why "christian" names like "Seth" are going "extinct"!!!, the brain dead rat doesn't even know there is nothing "christian" about the old testament names he was yapping about)

It is more than brain dead, it's dead and buried................and starting to stink.

Excellent questions!...and to that my firm answer is a capital NO.

Imagine being sponsored by an evidently unholy government to go to these so called "holy" places.
However even if Nigeria was a prosperous nation such funding should not come out of government pockets.
This is extremely selfish and misguided and there has been no evidence of any benefits from these sponsored pilgrimages. Money well wasted.
How much money is spent on more obviously needy issues? There is no excuse for this.

No I didn't know that. It is all rubbish. Anyone who wants to go should save up their own money and go rather than squandering the little resources available to feed some religions.

i raised this same question in my room and my room mates were so angry with me. The anger was so intense that i feared for my life! They just told me not to go there at all. The reason why the govt keep doing it is that people are still in support of it. How i wish there can be a renaisance in this country.

Those people probably have a poor concept of the government, what it is for and how it is supposed to work. One way to deal with this is to raise counterfactuals or use actual religions like the Norse, Aztec or Greek religions.
