The Criminal Waste Of Resources Known As State Sponsored Pilgrimage by SHTFguy: 6:08am On Sep 09, 2017
Long before "one nijeriya" and the advent of air travel, how did northern Muslims get to go to mecca?

Aisha Buhari has been going to mecca twice yearly since she packed into Aso Rock and we all know who is picking up her bills.


But my concerns are not with Aisha wandering the gold bazaars of mecca in the guise of pilgrimage rather I will want to know in the scenario where northern Nigeria was not tied to the south and air travel did not exist, how will the Muslims be going to mecca?

There off course where Muslims who embarked on the long arduous journey to mecca back then and it was usually by foot or at best on the back of a camel.

Apart from the dangers associated with trekking, the muslim pilgrim had to factor huge logistics involved in trekking to allah's shrine.

Historical narratives have it that, just like early Christian pilgrimage to Jerusalem, (which Islam adopted like basically every other thing else in Islam), a would be pilgrim to mecca depended for his subsidence on the goodwill of people he will encounter on his way to mecca.

It was thus no easy endeavour. So what will be the fate of millions of northerners now if there was no air travel? Will they still embark on a year-long journey on foot braving the elements and wild to get to Mecca?

It's good enough that aid travel has been invented and is now the major means of transportation but why then is the Federal govt and states doling out subsidies for a religious venture that is not even obligatory?

Apart from subsidising air tickets and feeding of pilgrims the current FG even doled out a subsidy on forex for would be pilgrims at the direct detriment of other forex applicants. Is this not madness?

The case of govt even organising any useless pilgrimage must be rescinded and all govt boards setup for any useless pilgrimage excersice be it for musluns,or Christians or Sango must be discontinued asap!

At no time did the FG offer subsidy on forex for pilgrims until the Boko ascended the throne.

Why should there be subsidy on forex for pilgrims but none for those seeking productive venture?

Go and preach your one love story to Shekau


Keep deluding yourself that you can ever be accepted by Muslims.

If the Awusa Muslim has no problem killing, raping and pillaging his fellow northern Christian all because of religion, is it you born and bred kafirs of the south that they will respect?

How many northerners have you seen openly criticise this Buhari govt? But when a kafir was in power his greatest critics where southern idiots like you who will later settle for a bigoted illiterate from the north.

Keep deceiving your foolish selves that there can be any unity one you and your Muslim masters up north.

History and contemporary events exist from where you can see parallels of Islamic conquest and persecution of non Muslims but some how you think you exist in a different universe.

So speaking truth is now inciting violence?

Where did you see me inciting violence?

So we should side-step the foolishness and barbarism of the north as one will avoid an autistic bully in class for there to be "peace".

Which useless peace are you preaching to me? Why not go and preach your peaceful message to the Islamic terrorists running amock in the north.

You made zero sense.
The op is simply trying to rationalize d idea behind sponsoring pilgrimages that has no impact on our economy and you are talking about hate for Buhari. How does the point you just made correlate to the op's assertion?

The nation won't stop it's prayers because of yu. These same subsidies are applicable to christian pilgrims in this country. Why is it now an issue?

The govt wants to put a stop to our attitude of importing everything into this country while exporting only oil. Add that to forex shortage currently at hand, subtract hate in yr mind, and I'm sure better work will fall on yu.

Otherwise

All useless pagan shrine expeditions should be paid fully by would be adherents.

Similarly, I also called for the scraping of the Nigerian Christian pilgrims board which was created by Obasanjo.

The NCP is the reason Muslims can open their trashy mouth and defend this useless waste of scarce funds.

State sponsored and subsidy of Muslim pilgrims pre-dates that of Christian pilgrimage subsidies which began in the early 2000's while the Federal govt has been sponsoring Muslims since 1975!
Re: The Criminal Waste Of Resources Known As State Sponsored Pilgrimage by Caseless: 8:09am On Sep 09, 2017
Only muslims go for a state sponsored pilgrimage right?

I hate it when bigots come with good thread but lace it with prejudice and lies.



It's wrong for the government to sponsor people on pilgrimage, but don't make it seem as if only muslims benefit from that.

And PDP promoted that even more. Who has buhari sponsored on pilgrimage?

the pagans should come out and ask for their own in the spirit of fairness .


As for the creation of the Christian pilgrims board , Christians are always in competition with Muslims over some practices even as theirs have no scriptural backings, hence , the creation of the agency.


I do not support state sponsored pilgrimage, but don't make it seem as if Christians in are not beneficiaries. Irrespective OOF when they started benefiting , Christians are guilty as well.

Don't be Senseless.

Christian pilgrimages to jerusalem existed long before mohammed and your Islam.

Jews did their own holy pilgrims to Jerusalem to partake in the feast of the passover.

Christian pilgrimages were never obligatory and where a personal sacrifice usually tracing back the routes taken by Paul and Peter.

As typical with you plagiarising and ever thieving Muslims, you will be claiming credit for something that your prophet copied (and badly so) from others.

This should have been a very beautiful thread but you laced it with ethnic and religious bigotries. Too bad !! When good threads as this are laced with primitive sentiments, you only end up forcing people to take positions in defending their religions and tribes.
The OP should get back to the drawing board because his deviously fashioned hate message would not fly.

That said, no sane government should have a hand in any religious issue. Nigeria would continue to remain a laughing stock amongst her peers if we continue to toe this path of wastefulness .

Listen here and listen good...

I had to showcase how Islamic pilgrimage was not within the means of your average ab0ki prior to both the free oil money and invention of air travel.

A journey that will take up to a year to and fro by foot or camel was not something your average northerner could afford physically and/or financially.

But with the oil windfalls during the 70's the Federal Govt began subsidizing Nigerian muslims to embark on hajj.

How can you explain the frivilorities of Aisha going to Mecca at least twice a year since she became First Hajiya?

Could she be able to afford traveling to Mecca twice a year?

The muslim pilgrim subsidy must stop as this is another scam northerners use to fleece the nation dry as there is high level corruption that permeates the entire scheme

As usual the useless muslm liars have flooded this thread with their fallacies by drawing analogies with the Nigerian Christian Pilgrimage scheme as well.

But how can you compare what was set-up in 2007 (NCPC) to what has been in existence since 1975!
