Be mindful of the truth?

expert234:
Your Pentecostal pastors also rape and launder money, as well as commit coke abuse. Fatoyinbo is a good example. He abused Bisola, an underaged girl. Mr hypocrite, you are not better than the Catholics. No you are not.

I am not a Pentecostal. They don't belong to me. I do not care for them either but the Catholic Church is unmatched in its criminality.

ngadaAwo:
Catholic the only true church of our lord Jesus Christ

They have committed more crimes than any other organization on the planet.

Everything from theft, to rape, murder, money laundering, embezzlement, slavery, child abuse and murder.

Not to speak of breaking their own edicts.

Khaleell001:
Look how "reasonable" you sound.

It is an individual thing not a government sponsored trip-if you can afford it you go if not you remain in your country.
Exept you can show us proofs that government sponsors these pilgrim otherwise you can as well just shut up and mins you damn business.

More lies.

That is precisely what happens, they subsidize all of this nonsense. Some of them (many of them) are taking stolen state funds to waste on this jamboree. Their travel is subsidized, the dollars that they will exchange are subsidized. It is a complete waste of money.

Even during recession Muslims will waste money on this nonsense.

Despite recession, states, others spend over N136.5bn on Hajj
At least N136.5bn has been spent on Hajj in 2017 by state governments and individuals despite the current recession in the country, Saturday PUNCH investigation has revealed.

According to the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, no fewer than 91,000 Nigerians had arrived in Saudi Arabia out of the over 1.7 million foreign pilgrims in the country to perform this year’s Hajj. Meanwhile, the average Hajj fare approved by NAHCON to states for each traveller is N1.5m.

For example, information made available by NAHCON showing the approved 2017 Hajj seats and fares per state disclosed the package for travellers from Nasarawa State as N1,544,659.85; Niger, N1,525,483.30; Ondo, N1,485,096.07; Katsina, N1,498,502.70; Bauchi, N1,523,122.41; Plateau, N1,529,036.80; Sokoto, N1,521,461.65; and Kwara, N1,501,571.27, among others.

Therefore, at an average fare of N1.5m, 91,000 Nigerians would have spent a minimum of N136.5bn on the exercise, with part of it coming from public purse provided by state governments.

DennisEche:
They keep feeding Saudi fat while their people over here are dying of hunger and starvation

You speak the truth but they won't listen.

Olalekanharoon:
Lies.

Palm oil and coca were the big cash crops in terms of revenue, not groundnut. The north has NEVER been able to pay its own way, when Nigeria finally dissolves Arewa will become even more of a disaster zone than it already is.

Lol.... Nigeria was the highest producer of groundnut, they produce 45% of the world groundnut
What were you saying again?

Percentage of global product is not the same as monetary value.

And if other nations are not interested it is probably because it is not sufficiently lucrative. You see how Malaysia, in particular learned from Nigeria how to become proficient in farming palm products - that is because they could see how important ond valuablj polm products are. Groundnut has never been such.

izzou:
But for Saudi, money no be problem naa?

Saudi has huge problems with unemployment and poverty that go underreported because they do not have a free press.

GeoAfrikana:
I'm not surprised. Nigeria's population is more than most countries. Add that Nigeria has a Muslim majority population. It's only normal.


For those saying they're using South money. If you've ever been to Kano market you'll know that business pass business. Igbo people just dey do press-up.

And that oil money has been more of a curse to us than a blessing. The best infrastructures in this country were built with money from Hausa groundnut and Yoruba cocoa. Coal from Enugu too was a blessing but it was partly infested by corruption.

In fact our railway was constructed mainly for groundnut transportation from the north to the port in south.

Lies.

Palm oil and cocoa were the big cash crops in terms of revenue, not groundnut. The north has NEVER been able to pay its own way, when Nigeria finally dissolves Arewa will become even more of a disaster zone than it already is.

Idiots. Complete waste of time and money.

No schools or hospitals in much of the north but they find money to waste on this trash.

netpro:
Once Dangote Refinery come on board, we will drill and refine.

If US-Iran conflict ignites, Nigeria will wine and dine.

For the meantime, Buhari is very judicious when it comes to spending. Nigeria is also diversifying.

No Shaking.

What nonsense. Have they curtailed recurrent expenditure?

Are they not talking about 2.2 billion for cows?

Did I not read about more money being wasted on the north courtesy of NNPC?

namio10:
But through northern elites keeping northern masses down, the northern elites also keep every ethnic group of Nigeria down.

One Nigeria with northern region is a curse for the southern regions of Nigeria.

A curse for Africa, not just Nigeria. You see how the Boko Haram menace has spread to Cameroon.

The same man who was decrying the rapid population growth of Nigeria is now taking a fourth wife after he has already created his own soccer team.

Psoul:
Silly question demands a silly answer.
What do u think?

You used the word 'normal'. What makes somebody 'normal'?

If you re-read your statement you will see who is silly here and why you have resorted to ducking questions and abusive language.

Psoul:
Do u think u are normal or abnormal.

If u can answer this, then u have the answer to ur question.
If u cannot answer it, u need an urgent help.

You decided to ask a question with a question to get out of answering. You are not slick.

Psoul:
Any body that tells u that he/she does not want to have children or even get married, know it that the person is not normal or has a problem that he/she has not bn able to tell u.

Every normal person is wired to love to procreate.
Some may say they don't want children when they know they have problem with their fertility. They will use that as a cover up.
Some will say same when they have gotten involve with some dirty religion or cult or even when they don't even have money to get married at the first time.

So any person telling u he/she does not want to have children, go a bit deeper, u will find out what he/she is trying to hide.

What makes somebody 'normal'?

MrPresident1:
People like you?

People like your parents.

olu77:
We follow American trend without really understanding the reasons why Americans do what they do. Marriage is indeed not an achievement but family value is something that create wealth, peace and unity. Nevertheless no one should rush into marriage without understanding what marriage is all about.

Some people have no business having children or getting married.

She didn't tell a single lie but people who cannot think outside all of the cultural nonsense that fills their juvenile minds will get angry at this.

Toscarel:
Can you imagine what this dude is saying smh... So funny
To an almajiri 20 box could be a days earning

Nonsense.

How often do you even have 20 naira to give.

20 naira cannot buy you anything. I doubt this story very much.

Tonymegabush1:
D way ppl are going for solar now e fit reach a stage only phc will be using all the electricity they generate oo


NB even me don dey reason am too at least if i succeed i will inform eedc to come and carry their meter and cables

All those useless gen cos have screwed themselves the same way that NITEL did.

ednut1:
keep consoling your self. Is south any better What has lagos don with its IGR. What has delta don with its 13% derivation

Yes, the south is much better.

Can you compare Lagos and Kano?

Or even Port Harcourt and Kano?

The north has some of the highest poverty and illiteracy rates in the entire world.

This is hilarious.

Umtit is a much better player than Maguire.

How does the superior player become the second choice? And why would he want to move to Man Utd?

delugajackson:
The level of poverty in this country has reduced its citizens to savages. A country where people eat just anything to survive the scorching hunger. To the point that Snakes, elephants, whales, dolphins, crocodiles and all sorts of endangered species are not being preserved as important wildlife but are being regarded as fast food in this part of the world.

Welcome to Nigeria, the sh.ithole of the universe.

Japanese people hunt whales.

And Americans pay tens of thousands of dollars to fly to other parts of the world and kill wildlife.

The savagery in Nigeria is tragic but understandable. Why are the Americans and Japanese so savage is the question?

Ultimatezlant:
don't take back anything cos all you said is the truth,

We have refused to tell the truth to these parasites.

Funny enough the so called resources they use ss money to develop would always be consumed by their religious wars and incompetence

Reminds me of the story of how they took a batch of people to learn how to be pilots and then brought them back to Nigeria to become primary school teachers.

Or how one useless state said that they didn't have funds to continue the Al-Majiri schools but then took a similar sum and wasted it on Hajj.

Pure stupidity.

1shortblackboy:
what are their governors doing with the internally generated revenue and FG allocation

They take it to Mecca and waste it on nonsense.

ruggedmallaam:
ugly people

How many fine British people have you seen?

Raydos:
Nah everyday dey they sign partnership deal but nah still the same old lagos

To be fair some progress has been made but it's odd to me how they keep signing all these MOUs.

Aderewah:
Lol. Southafricans have natural envy for Nigerians. I can't wait for Nigeria to take its right position in the world so we can deny every single south african visa.

We don't have to behave as they do. If we allow them to drag us down to their level we gain nothing.

Chinese and gambling are like 1 and 2.

Remind me again who said that a war against Boko Haram is a war against the north...

Until we finally accept that religion is mental illness this nonsense will keep happening.
