In the poverty capital of the world

Where they borrow to pay salaries

Tinubu used 90b to subsidize hajj

Why won't this failure do same

Nigeria is blessed

It's just the stupid followers electing and supporting lame leaders that are the problem

They're everywhere on the platform
SMH
They still think that Nigeria is oil rich.

sad WTF! What the hell with using state or Nigerian monies to fund Islamic religious pilgrimage? Are the Christian pilgrimage and traditional faith being funded this way too? This shit has to be totally stopped.

The NASS is totally useless and dead anyway. Otherwise impeachment proceedings ought to be commenced against any governor or president that use state scarce resources for this rubbish
likeeee 🤌🤌

Waste of public fund !

Money that should be directed to better things like agriculture to feed the hungry masses is being spent on hajj.
You didn't complain when he did for Christians, then u cheered.

How many jobless Lagosians would that amount empower?

I actually don't see any sense in where people would travel all away from Nigeria to Saudi just to go and stone one invisible devil when the real devil ( the politicians are there to stone), oh I forgot, they have eating dodo as per this news, we can't hear ododo from them
And what is your opinion going to Jerusalem etc?
Re: Sanwo-Olu Pays Hajj Pilgrims’ $186,800 Fare Shortfall by Franking: 12:31pm On May 27, 2024
I am ashamed of Sanwolu. Why are we like this? Over 18,000 goats were airlifted to Saudi Arabia for Hajj. Tomorrow you wonder why the dollar keeps appreciating against the naira.

Any form of religious pilgrimage is a personal thing. In this day and age we are still doing this? Tufiakwa.

Even the governor of my state sponsored some goats to Jordan and I curse every single one of them.

Christian pilgrimages are funded too. But both are wrong in a country that's asking students to get loans for education.
It is not only in Nigeria Partner. In the USA you can file for bankruptcy and discharge for all your related debt but not for Student loans. Why is that because the banks inserted that clause into the student loan, Student loans originate from the USA treasury which is money given to the banks to administer by loaning it to the students the banks make money based on the interest repayment of the loan. Biden is currently in the process of forgiving some students loan with a limit of $50000. Hard to believe but before 1980 tuition at all public universities in California used to be free. Then Ronald Regan was elected then tuition was no longer free. Tell yaa the Conservatives will always find ways to fu*k things up. Just ask someone living in the United Kingdom currently. How they are enjoying the BREXIT they voted for.

How is my statement supporting Hajj subsidization?
Hajj is a very important Pillar of Islam that is obligatory upon the rich and capable Muslims among us.

If you are not rich plus capable it is not obligatory for you to go!

May Allah enrich us to be able to go there with our families devoid of any government interventions!
Na this kind frustration and impertinence go kill you!

Great gesture. The forex shortfall was no fault of the pilgrims. All pilgrims completely paid the Naira equivalent at least 2 to 3 months ago when the dollar was around 1100 Naira. Why will govt authorities turn around to give them something less?
From your post, I am assuming that you are okay with this subsidizing gesture. Just remember one person freedom fighter is another man terrorist it all depends on which side of the fence you are on.
Re: Sanwo-Olu Pays Hajj Pilgrims’ $186,800 Fare Shortfall by Homologous: 12:44pm On May 27, 2024
Is this stupid man paying from the coffers of the state?
I remember when I was in Nigeria, I was paying heavy tax, close to 200k per month. The day I saw how much tax I have paid over 2 years was when I decided to leave that country.

Person go dey pay tax, the stupid government officials would be living large on it.
Re: Sanwo-Olu Pays Hajj Pilgrims’ $186,800 Fare Shortfall by obaidan: 12:49pm On May 27, 2024
this money will improve some public schools. As far as i am concerned govt paying for pilgrimage for people is like govt sending people on vacation.

An Igbo man calculated his cost of clearing goods on Monday based on the published CBN rate of 1350 to the Naira for that day. Tuesday morning he proceeded to fill out his form M but guess what the CBN changed the rate overnight to 1500. Using your analysis you should be in favor of the government covering his shortfalls I am assuming.

Not sure I get you correctly. But my point is why can't people going for pilgrimage also get loans for their journey just as we are asking poor Nigerian students to get loan for education?

Abi pilgrimage and education which one is more important? Yet we are asking poor Nigerian students to get loans while the government is paying the rich to go "fornicate in foreign lands in the name of pilgrimages"

Why get a loan in the first place? Someone needs to explain to me if is it compulsory that one must take this trip by any means necessary to be considered a good Muslim.

That amount would have made a bigger difference if applied to tuition shortfall to LASU students in need.

For the first time ever, I agree with you. This is a testimony.

Do you approve of Tinubu subsidizing Hajj with 90b?

I'm absolutely fine if anyone decides to get a loan for pilgrimage. That's his/her personal decision. Afterall the loan is not taken in my name or your name.

What I'm concerned about is government using our collective purse to fund individual/personal pilgrimages that doesn't benefit the society. That, I don't support.
