300 dollar is about #450,000.
Minimum wage is 30k. Yet governors & federal govt still complain they can't pay minimum wage of #100k but keep indulging in frivolous wastage on a daily.

All state government can pay a minimum wage of 100k I'd they can stop wastage, leakages & corruption.

True! It's more like 90-10 in favour of the Muslims. In Christianity, there is no "heavenly reward" for wasting money traveling to Israel like our Muslim brothers who enrich the Saudis year in, year out.

Hopefully one sensible president will stop this madness cos they're just ruining the economy.

If you want to visit Mecca, use your own funds, not public funds. We can't be complaining that ee don't have basic amenities and govt keep funding religious trips... That's stupidity.
Muslims traveling to Saudi for Pilgrimage is the 5th and Last Pillar of Islam.
What Pillar of Christianity asked them to go to Israel?
It is understandable and recommended that Govt stop funding people for Pilgrimage, even in Islam, it is conditional (Who has the Capacity).

But kindly Note; With or Without Government funding, Thousands of Muslims will still go for Pilgrimage.
Through out Buhari's Tenure, he refused to subsidize Hajj, yet thousands kept going for Hajj

That's a good initiative, let's increase the sponsorship for pilgrims. Their prayers have improved our economy, security, education, agriculture, power, science and technology e.t.c tenfold.

Their prayers is the only thing preserving our oil wells and God fearing Politicians
A tone of sarcasm and a pinch of laughter.

Anyone that can’t afford Hajj themselves should not be going.
Hajj is so expensive now, it is only the rich individuals that can comfortably afford it. It is not a must, or a do or die affairs. It was stated that for only people who can afford it. It has now become source of tourism to some people & Saudi government are earning millions of dollars yearly. A win win for Saudi government

Same werey politicians are saying they can't pay the minimum wage, but they're sharing money for pilgrims so they can be in mulims' good books cos of next election...

We spend billions annually on pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia, yet none of this benefits us economically.

Politicians are the ones destroying this country!
Most things are run politically, something that suppose to be spiritual journeys for individuals, is now for fun& tourism. The money that is being used to sponsor it will safe some people life, some people just need surgery, but our government will neglect them. I pray not to be in such situations. I pray any of our family or friends will not be in such bad situations

What business has government spending hard earned tax payers money on people performing their religious obligations, you can spend over 300k on what we all know does not add any economic value to our economy, but you can't pay workers 100k

what is wrong with these Southern politician? Why are they so beholden to the Fulani caliphate? It is a mystery that evades any attempt to undertsand.
Mrd1424, if you're the governor, I doubt you wouldn't do the same. Taste power, money, connection & be influential. That governor most play the game with wisdom & tactics, any spill up/fkup, Amaechi, Wike go just Judasi him. I pity PH people if APC should grab PH.Let that man do is things, support him, pray for him, God should guide him

5th pillar o, 6th pillar o, sha make sure it's your money cos it's lunacy for the government to keep funding religious trips. . . Whether Christians believe in visiting Jerusalem or not, it's not my own issue, they don't rely on government funds like the muslims who are draining the economy and packing national funds to Saudi Arabia, year in, year out.

Pilgrimage should be handled by the states, the federal government has no business in it. Any state that wants to use all their IGR to sponsor pilgrimage is welcome to it

When will Rivers state Governors have sense for Christ sake, from Peter Odili spending money to the north’s, Rotimi amenchi looting Rivers money to sponsor a northern presidential candidate against his own brother Jonathan,Wike splashing Rivers money In dollars to northerners for his selfish interests, and now Fubara is trying to emulate the same.

Misplaced priorities in the midst of this biting economy. I'm yet to hear of any state governor giving out food stuffs on monthly basis to ease the pain. But are quick to support pilgrims that are going for their personal benefit.
Abeg wetin happen to all the prayers we are praying in Nigeria?
Money that can easily be channeled towards fertilizers and other farm inputs to chase away the hunger that is biting the masses.

This is how Nigerian government officials are wasting our resources.

I am not against the idea of going on pilgrimage, but I am against using government resources to fund the trip.

The principle should be to have your money ready if you plan to go to Mecca or Jerusalem.

So are you saying God does not answer prayers again in Nigeria that some people are supposed to go to another country enriching the country's revenue to pray for Nigeria huh?

Hmmm.....this is quite absurd and interesting as well...

Pilgrimage should be self sponsored , there is no money in Nigeria but #48m is been wasted by the Government....

According to Mr Abdulrasaq, this year’s pilgrims consist of 45 state-sponsored persons, while five are self-sponsored.
90% of the pilgrims are state-sponsored by the Rivers State Government, each receiving $720, multiply by 45, that's is about N48m net. There are other costs not disclosed. This is not to understate the importance of fulfilling these religious exercise but this is a PDP Governor o, just before you blame APC.

It will be interesting to one day watch the debate on a law to regulate the use of tax payers money to subsidize pilgrimages for all the religions including pilgrimages by Yoruba in the diaspora to Ile Ife.

This is just N48m. What about the Federal Government that spent N90b aside other costs.
