At OP despite all the facts you presented I see as driving at one point that what is good for the geese is also good for the gander. But the major point is simple. Government should hands off anything religious when is comes to sponsorship. Religion is a personal thing. 2 Likes |

Apart from your post addressing the purveyors of hate, Seun has to ensure there is quality control and only factual and accurate posts make front page. He should not continue to hide under the 'Nairalanders are solely responsible for what they post on Nairaland' to allow wanton recklessness that reminds me of pre-genocide Rwanda. I am frankly appalled that OP had to appeal for this post to make front page. 3 Likes |

The OP is just plain silly. First of all, the economy today is in a FAR worse state than it was in last year, and a subsidy from 197 to 160 is way less than subsidizing from 338 to 197. More importantly, justifying a wrong act by claiming "this was done for Christians too" is just daft. Many of us who are criticizing this are doing so because this is an unacceptable waste of taxpayer funds on what should be a personal pilgrimage. Many of us have condemned Govt sponsorship of religious pilgrimages in the past. I suggest the OP learns to pay tax so he can muster the same indignation many of us feel when our leaders waste our money so recklessly, instead of moronically trying to discuss this with a lens of religious bias. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Owing to the economic realities of the time, this decision by the federal government is a very wrong one. Trying to cite instances where this has been done and why what is good for the geese is good for the gander is just not okay. This is not about defending Buhari or whatever. He got it absolutely wrong this time. 3 Likes |

Just Look at madness. Who cares if the president did not do it for religious reasons, which is even more sad because it shows the president is not only a religious bigot but an economic dunce. The country is in bleeding recession with the lowest performing currency in backward africa ,and one yoruba nitwit who is probably broke as hell is postulating partisan nonsense to deflect attention into irrelevancies and curry misguided emotion for his daft president. Any body with a brain should Find a way to leave that sinking country. It is unfortunate that american visa lottery has stopped. My Igbo people should find a way to leave that shitthole and migrate legally to western Europe and create a future for their unborn generations. That country is in a state of irreversible ruin and has no future whatsoever. 3 Likes |

seunmsg:Yo! U just saved me d stress of composing......... Merci beacoup! This whole issh has got absolutely noffin 2 do wif religion - neither in d north nor south, esp in d south, it's all politically engineered gbege! The other day, d former NSA (Aziza) who was a member of d 'inner chamber' told us that BH- d pseudo-Islamic movement, was PDP inspired. **koffs** We all knew what happened 2 him afterwards! And when I talk about d south, we all know dt d antagonists within them are still pained by d loss of their cousin in d last presidential election, though d 'bereaved' has since moved on. Moreover, certain parts of d south will never touch d corpse of pmb with a long cane for his 'anti-corruption' stance. Seunmsg, when u mention 'Mohammed Buhari' what comes to mind? Yep, u are right: ANTI_CORRUPTION and some pipo who can't eck a living outside criminal activities feel threatened, and as Light and darkness have no meeting point, they'll never c any good in pmb! Let's take our mind back to June 12, 1993, the Muslim-muslim presidential ticket of MKO Abiola and Babagana Kingibe sailed through in ds same south, so what are we now saying. In the south, religion has never been a major factor in elections. Most times when d issue of religion comes up in d south, u know there's an underlying reason using religion as smokescreen. @ progressive01, nice write up..........., but d political brouhaha - esp in d south ain't religions induced, it's a blend of ethnic bigotry garnished with "war against anti-corruption" Thanks Thanks 2 Likes |

Progressive01:You have been brainwashed to simply classify citizens discern as pdp's support. The op is just laboring to rationalize what is very wrong with our nation. Whether it is done since 1914 and done for xtians n moslems, it was wrong then and even more wrong now. Govt has no biz with funding pilgrimage. More so nigerians are not all xtians n moslems. Leave religion for religious people. They already don't tax religious houses which is the biggest enterprise in nigeria today and now giving members subsidy via Fx. Subsidizing pilgrimage is ungodly! Little wonder we are very religious and deeply ungodly! 4 Likes |

Progressive01: You have a mis informing thread.The motive of the presidency is clear you can choose to rap it with butter,mayonaisse,honey,cream,ketchup,sauce,add some bacon and spiced meat to it and seasoning make sure to ail some soft oils with sweet aroma. Even under all of these tapestry the intent of the govenment is clear in this instance unlike how you're making it look academical and sensible.The reverse is the case. Could people stop trying to say what the president is trying to do is ? Why does this president keep enjoying backers explaining his deed as though he's an slowpoke ? 2 Likes |

Progressive01: You call yourself a progressive going by your handle but the irony is lost on you. The point is not about Muslim favoritism or whether Christians are similarly favored for pilgrimages. the point is at this critical time in our economy, where businesses are struggling due to high forex rates, whee companies are laying off workers, where we talk of diversifying the economy, is it pilgrimages that we should be discounting? The president once said anyone who wants to send his child abroad should go and get his forex in the black market and I agree wholeheartedly with him. Education, which is an investment in the human capital of the country is not discounted, so why discount pilgrimages (either christian or muslim) which offer abcolutely no benefit to the country be discounted? Is this our pririty as a country? it shows why Nigeria has the same problems Fela sang about 40 years ago and why they will still be with us in 40 years. Lets put this in context: The discount as a result of this double discount is about $25 million dollars, that is how much the country just gave away. The same country that could not make adequate financial arrangement to it's olympians traveling to represent it at an international sporting event to the extent we became the subject of International ridicule. You dont discount forex for education, raw materials, factories, activities that will create jobs back home but you discount forex so some people can go and pray in another mans country and help develop the host countries economies (through hotels and restaurants, transport etc) while yours suffers....what a mindset, what a country! This is not just a discount i.e official v black market, this is a discount on the official rate. Factories cannot get official rate, yet you are giving pilgrims discount on the official rate. 2 Likes 1 Share |
