If not why not?

yes they do.

especially the ones in the remote villages with over half a million people.

Show us the proof? Or did you mean to write that the land Igbos bought with their money and build shops on, or shops they were forced to pay for for 3 years are being taken away and demolished as Fasola is doing?

1. Enugu doesnt comprise the whole of Igboland so readjust your post and thread title accordingly.

2. Go and make sure these "Enugu" Yorubas arent actually Igbos, then get back to me.

3. Am I the one involved here -ie am I in Enugu.


thank you.

You are just a serpent.

let him continue getting itchy over the matter oh.

Yoruba bail out.

they sure received free education

Which free education?

Would yo stick to the topic??

In any case, there is free primary and secondary education in Abia since the time of Orji Kalu, and that benefitted everyone, including the Yoruba living there

in fact, what is nchara saying?

trips/pilgrimages to both Mecca and Jerusalem are subsidized by the federal govt.

I'm not aware of any tribal distinctions- correct me if I'm wrong.

In fact, if you're Igbo and want to make the trip to Mecca as a Muslim, even here on Nairaland plenty of people will sponsor you, talkless elsewhere.

TPIA,

When did Enugu become the FGN to be giving money to muslims for Hajj?

The FGN is supposed to disburse the money to interested states maybe.

I dont know the logistics.

So are you saying that Enugu state took FGN money meant for Hajj and refused to use it for that purpose? Is that what the article says?

tpia.:

There is no constitution in Nigeria where FG allocates money for pilgrimage and hajj . FG did help through different organizations that plan pilgrimages by making sure they get visa easily but not paying for the trip. Poor man no de go pilgrimage and if you don't have money, stay home and continue with your okada business.

No southern state funds pilgrimage either. This Enugu issue could be that the govt pays a percentage of the trip or something. Muslims for some reason use Enugu state as their eastern vatican city and I don't know why. May be they are having some influence over the state because I know that a story like this in Imo state will sound ridiculous. Give me money for hajj; give me money for to marry 3rd wife; give me money to carry ashewo; in a country where over 60% live in poverty. Nonsense.

Well Sullivan Chime aint playing stupid games with em or trying to please em so the days of Enugu being vatican for muslims is over. Go and leech elsewhere outside the East.

that's certainly what you are saying.

Tpia,

Why is the Yoruba community in Enugu asking for Hajj money from a state govt instead of from the FGN?
