Not to the detriment of the people. The people have to be alive and fairly content to be properly religious. You cannot have people dropping dead or lying sick due to lack of infrastructure and non-payment of salaries and then have same 'scarce' resources expended on ventures that are still circulated among the privileged few. These pilgrimages do not in any way improve the life of the common man who has many hungry mouths to feed!

Again, I have not asked for religion and faith to be banned. The right thing is for the government not to be actively involved in such issues and rather concentrate on its primary duty of good and sound governance which translates to a sane and conducive environment suitable for all things good including peaceful practice of any any religion.
I think your last paragraph conveys my message. I'm not in support of white elephant plans for pilgrimage; my assertion is that, in as much as we detest frivolous expenses on religion, it cannot be totally disregarded.

Religion should be separated from the state. Before the Treaty of Westphalia, the pope and priests were thorns on flesh of monarch.
My point is that, it cannot be totally separated.

Ever since the Treaty of Westphalia of 1648, what has been the relationship like between the state and religion in Europe? I'm sure will agree with me that the state now has power more than religion.

The People's president!
Sai Buhari.
We are indeed behind you every step of the way.
I commend his action; but he should go one step further in totally eliminating any FG sponsorship of pilgrimage.
The church and the State should not mix. The money could be used for other important purposes.

I quite agree with you to an extent.
What would happen to persons working in Ministries and Parastatals in Abuja or are employed by the FG itself though?

They will have to pay for the trip themselves. I don't think they'll be entitled to estacode since pilgrimage is no more an official trip.

Get me right, the fact that the bond between state and religion is not as strong as before doesn't remove the fact that the two are inseparable.

a govt delegation is different from d normal muslim pilgrimage na,he didnt cancel muslim pilgrimage,he only refused to sponsor govt official(who ofcos hav enuf money to sponsor demselves) haba.




pipo go just dey like and share wetin dem no understand

On the contrary, dem sabi wetin dem dey do. APC officials always believe they are smart. Buhari cancelled government delegation but didnt cancel the original Hajj and Christian pilgrimage. He even allowed people to use the opportunity to siphon dollars at N160 exchange rate. . . Now who are those people given these oportunites to go to Mecca and Jerusalem, are they not all government and politically connected individuals? These guys are thieves.

You need to understand that all these people praising Buhari are APC employees. They get paid to spread lies and confuse the general opinion of the people.
