Pilgrimage is a journey or search for moral or spritual significance.
Going for pilgrimage in Nigeria has been a yearly affair which the government has steadily sponsored.Recently,i read here on nairaland about some pligrims who absconded in Israel and the thought came to me,does the embarkment of these pilgrimages satisfy its purpose? When someone who has travelled for a pligrimage can run away in the said country,then we must know the person never went there for moral or spritual reasons.
This brings back the question,are pilgrimages which are sponsored by the goverrnment a waste of money? Since most people who embark on it these do so because of their own ulterior motives.
