While we all agree that government subsidizing religious excursions have no economic importance, If you didn't make as much noise as you're making about it now some months ago when the same gesture was handed out for Christian pilgrimage when the economy wasn't doing any better also, then you're simply hypocritical. Mind you, I'm a Christian myself and will always be.

First then the economy was in a better position then

Now we are in battle to plug every naira leak ..but why are you making this religious sef...I am the greatest advocate of people banning religion till we get sane enuff to manage them

Very good ..I endorse this bombing

Ebiakpo33:
I can see you have nothing to say !

You lack sense

modath:
He is just trolling... I don waka pass!!



@ idupaul ,

Name calling are we? Did you object when christians got concession? And yes, the angst & uproar is cos it's Buhari and hajj not because it's misplacement of priorities. ... no one is in any doubt.... we all know ourselves in this country..

Why are you you guys making it a sectarian issue ..did I mention anything about religion ..The naira has been on a steady decline and the economy is in a very bad state so tell me is this the time to subsidize some religious excursion?

tsdarkside:
poor economic decision,like how??..you are making no sense...

in a democraticaly system the goverment doesnt have the much power over a bank....

you dont understand the world you live in.....

So you think the CBN did this without instructions from president Buhari?

All of You deceiving PMB and trying to waste our votes mark my words our votes that have been betrayed by PMB will surely be his downfall .

If you understood the post well, you'd see I didn't at any point support the action- as a matter of time, let me state it for the umpteenth time- I am totally against government sponsorship of pilgrimages whether in recession or when the economy is booming!

What I've got problem is where these people making so much noise were when those evidences I presented happened. Are they against the sponsorship simply because it involves muslims or because they care so much about the economy?? Remember, these are the same people that support NDA's dream of "grounding" our economy!! Where, you might ask, did they suddenly find their "patriotism"??

Would their submissions have been the same had this involved Christian pilgrims??

That is the problem here.

Don't turn this issue into a sectarian one ..where did anyone mention Islam.
All we are saying is that the govt has once more proven that it only make poor economic decision by going on to subsidizing forex for a religious excursion . As usual you pay per post agent are bent on turning the narrative into a sectarian one.

fulanmafia:
Well outlined truism.

The fact is that Jonathanians have still not gotten over their hero's defeat and are acting like bulls in a China shop in the name of being in opposition.

The vile hypocrisy that has become the hallmark of their politicking only underlines their desperation to demonize the President even if it means appearing like extremist bigots with the memory capacity of a tse-tse fly.

You cannot squeeze oil out of a block of ice. It's not surprising that PDP's band of minions have become shameless intolerant religious bigots considering the history of the party. This was the same party that said Osibanjo owned 5000 churches while campaigning in the North so northerners wouldn't vote for the APC, while also calling the same party an Islamic party while campaigning in the South. Religious bigotry and borderline extremism is in their DNA.

I'm also not in support of state sponsored pilgrimages for similar reasons, and the culture it has become should be stopped, especially considering the paucity of funds that Nigeria suffers, however with that said, the furore that has been generated by bigoted wailers smacks of sheer hypocrisy and should be ignored in the understanding that they are going through a very difficult and painful period, climaxed by their defeated hero's recent instruction that they should embrace Sherriff the boko sponsor as their Chairman.

Wailers need hugs right now, not smacks.

You are only found where bigotry is a wage . I know you have killed before

snakie86:
This policy has been in existence since only when God knows, FG subsidize dollar rate for the yearly pilgrimage. If i dont know any, am still very sure for last year that it was sold at N160 to $1 for 2015 pilgrimage when the official rate was N197 to $1. This was for both muslim and Christian pilgrims of 2015.

More reason why there is a ceiling to how much individuals can buy and banks are expected to make returns to CBN after sales.

We must not turn everything to politics rather what we should be clamouring for is government removing her hand from religious activities. If you want to go for your religious activities, its your problem and you should be able to fund the cost rather than using tax payers money that will be useful somewhere else for some certain religious activities that will only benefit little

Can't you see how pathetic you sound ..I pray for your soul because you have just damned it with Ur callous brain

Dreamwaker:
The questions here are, Were they given allowances before they left Nigeria? Did they not reason to carry their own personal money just "in case" to be on the safe side? Can't they use their own money to eat and follow the official protocol to get their allowances? They don't sound professional to me at all.

But Op change your topic, thunder will not strike anybody.

Do you want the Ops thunder to fire U?

Stealthideals24:
I'm happy you agree that Buhari is performing. Check your grammar...
"Buhari hasn't achieved nothing..." It means Buhari has achieved something. But if you mean the opposite of what you typed, that means the man you said has no certificate is far better than you are. How market?

You think say you sabi jam person ba? Gbefu

He is clearly a very unrealistic man ..PDP doesn't need such a person as it leader what they need now is a youthful party supported only morally and financially by old politicians. .

Businessideas:
Speculators ti take over. I am still wondering why Buhari is still retaining the Central Bank Governor he inherited from Goodluck Jonathan when it was the illegal removal of Sanusi by GEJ before the expiration of Sanusi's tenure that paved the way for this Mr Jim Ovia's lackey called Emefiele.
Where in the world will a country in dire need of forex reduce forex money transfer service providers?
Buhari should fire this man, our monetary policy under Emefiele is a complete disaster!!!
This man is a man Friday and not one radical.We need people like Soludo, Henry Boyo, even Oby Ezekwezile not this man.

We need Henry boyo

abduljabbar4:
My bigotry has helped me to elect somebody who bothers about my life and security. I can go to any market or club without any fear today which I couldn't before just because one drunkard with his boys decided to use terrorism as a means of funding their useless political party. You can say whatever you want to say. As for me, I'm ready to vote for Buhari again!

Me if he doesn't perform he I will never vote for him again. .you sha have to vote for him of course he is a muslim like you and a northerner like you ..when I call you bigot now you go vex

san316:
You should have kept on hiding under your bedbug infested bed instead of coming out again to subject yourself to another K.O. This proves how unfortunately shallow you are and how disappointed your failed parents would be.
@ idupaul, if indeed you voted pmb n u agree it was dumb n foolish of Nigerians then the joke is on you. If your grey matter functions well, you should know that you don't express dissatisfaction towards people by using crude languages against them and their offices. Especially not someone that even while sleeping in his bed can order your father to be stripped naked and flogged helplessly in public.

My advice for both of you,

The wise are wary of their words and mindful of their actions. They thread with caution for they know the power of those

Its clear you have no value for yourself as a person ..so your idea of the president of a democratic nation is that he can order people to be stripped and flogged ..guess what any criminal can do that and it's nothing special ..so all the the things a president can do to make things better for his nation it's stripping and flogging you can come up to ..I campaigned and voted for Buhari on this same forum but it's a pity I have a short fuse for any mediocre African leader that doesn't want Africa to see the light of day .Millions have been born and have died without knowing what good governance even feels like and you clearly fall in that class because you still believe the job of a president is to strip and flog people ..When Buhari starts to perform I will be back sing his praises to high heavens once again till then I won't spare any opportunity to call out his blunder so people like you can at least taste good governance small before you die and not go into heaven or hell thinking the primary duty of a president is to strip and flog subjects.

Stealthideals24:
We agree that you are wiser than Buhari. But what have you achieved in your life with your intelligence? Nothing, abi? No wonder!

But I know I have achieved more than you and father combined and Buhari hasn't achieved nothing till he starts performing .. Na the type of U they Thief say you achieve. .

abduljabbar4:
Its not one kpako girl that decides that. A 90 year old Aisha Buhari would be a model compared to you. And that old mallam is the president of his country, a former head of state of his country, a former governor of his state and a former minister of petroleum in his country. What has your intelligent father achieved in his life?

That exactly is why some people call Nigeria a zoo ..anything can happen. A queer character like Buhari that hasn't proven himself in any field will go on to land all these positions and still get voted in by Nigerians ( that includes me because I also foolishly voted for him ). that Buhari lacks intelligence and vision in any capacity is not in doubt . THE joke is on a big bigot like you that views thing through a sectarian lense and not a lense of merit .

Adenex3051:
This is rather strange to me. Nigeria used to go to Olympics with team of boxers not just one boxer. So which category is he contesting? Incidentally boxing is an event where we use to haul medals in previous games. I wish him and the entire Olympics team all the best.

U am shocked myself ..Boxing is one of our fortes in the Olympics so why are we having a single boxer there
.it's not even good for his moral no matter how good he is l

A man that was killed by Fulani herdmen according to his subjects yet the police want to still know the killer ..the should comb the Bush around bokkos and look for the killers

How General Cassandra sold to me that he was a pious and frugal man is now beyond my Imagination ..there is nothing frugal about that man or his family..someone will soon say the bag is a knock off

Bridgetania:
Yes it was!..
Since u want to hear of my story!..
It was forcefully taken...
How can I possibly know his name..but I know he might be in his late 30's
2012 january 11th..
I was 11 yrs getting to 12 yrs(january 23 of the same year)
Twas around 6:30pm when I was done wit my daily sales, as normal, I went round collecting those who owed me as a result of 'no change'..when he told me to follow him inside..
It was a beer deport so I walked behind him innocently, that wasn't the first time I entered there, he always made it a habbit to owe and use the same method to pay,..so we finally reached his office spot, I stood outside, den he beckoned me to take the money in a giving gesture, as I stretched forth my hand to collect my #20..he grabbed my hand and dragged me into his office, I was sonfused and scared, when I regained consciousness in a split second, I asked him, why did u pull me like dat( the conversations was in ibo)..he said, u dis fine gal I have been wanting to talk to u bt u are always in a hurry all d time, by this time my heart was beating 2.4 million times every 5.seconds..I told him pls open the door let me go, its getting dark, I stay in a far place, my aunty would be awaiting my arrival. He kept saying don't wory, don't worry, so I decided to leave, I made way to d door but he was fast to detect my movement, so he blocked me, and dis time his face was looking scary, I threaten to shout! He told me( onwe onye noh eba"There's no body here" I started screaming and crying, he had already grabbed me, and gotten hold of my mouth. I was fighting back seriously...and crying, He just went ahead and did what he did, all I could remember feeling was sometin sharp as a giant pin piercing me, after so many attempts, He took my precious from me, den he stood up and told me never to say a word, and drove me away, by that time it was already 8.pm...the rest of how it happend is left for my memory!

Is this story true? How can someone rape a minor in 2012 and get away with it

Shebi subsidy had been removed what has it done

Ameachi will do anything to impress Baba Cassandra

Jorussia:
Don't waste your time,Hilary Clinton is the next president of America. I don't like her,because of her romance with wall street billionaires,but the facts on ground favours her ahead of trump.Donald trump is a bloody hypocrite he hates immigrants yet he is an immigratant by origin.

If not for his lack of decorum and social blunders he makes during press conferences and rallys he would have won .. for your info the bloodiest hypocrite is Hillary she is actually the greatest threat to the free world

This is Sad what have these men done to deserve such deaths ..Fulani herdsmen mən commit more murders than any known criminal gang in Nigeria yet we will never hear of the Army arranging Operation Smile Crocodile or Aware for them ..it's sad that year in year out the Fulanis spread terror and death in their wake and every govt just looks the other way ..if the farmers arm the whole DSS and military will arrive to disarm them the next day ..We all need to learn what the Ombatse militia of Nassarawa state used to put fear in hearts of Fulani so much that they never use that route for their cattle migration ..the govt even sent the Army and DSS to disarm the Ombatse militia and re open the route and we know they met a massive defeat in the hands of the militias and the govt suddenly kept quiet and even refused to arrest the leader of the Ombatse for reasons we are yet to know

Samunique:
My prayer is that, that woman should not make it to The US seat of power or else.....

But I'm afraid she might, now that the Brutish -oh sorry- British prime minister is a woman, the whole thing looks like a script being played out.

If she does then we should all get ready for a double growth in terror armies like Isis and Boko haram .. she already restructurd them recently by getting Al Nusra to dump Alqueada and they also named a more moderate leader for Boko Haram. .make no mistake the US under her leadership as Secretary of state has been the creator and sponsor of ISIS and Boko Haram under Shekau. .I wonder what the end plan is because she keeps providing giant rubber dinghys to assist refugees cross from the middle east in large numbers in a move that embeds Jihadists deep in Europe .On a lighter note I gather she is also a shape shifter of the reptoid class

Nigerians have gone past the stage where they fall for such comical write up ..nothing is funny ..for your info General Buhari is a monumental failure and remains so as at yesterday , I am sure he is today too ..

Shehu Sani always feeling like a wise man ..I still need to know the role he played in the rise of Boko Haram because he seemed to have enuff access to them at some time

Name Checkers Nigeria Branch would be disappointed. .over to Name checkers Ghanaian branch

Killing another person so you can drive a G Class is the apogee of selfishness

Anyone with a sixth sense can see that Hillary is the grand Patron of Isis and Boko haram
