It is sad that once again, Nigeria has laid bare for the entire international community our inability to manage our affairs. We canot even count our dead.

Whilst Iranian Govt spoke a day or two after the incident clearly giving the number Iranians affected (fatality and injured), for Nigeria it is tower of babel and conflicting reports from various government organs responsible for the Hajj.

* The Chairman of NAHCON (National Hajj Committee of Nigeria), Alhaji Abdullahi Muktar Mohammed, NAHCON says 54 died
* Radio Nigeria 7am news bulletin quoted Nigerian Saudi Embassy sources says it is over 60
* Vanguard says 20 died

Who should we believe?

Meanwhile the Amirul Hajj 2015 (The Nigerian Leader of the 2015 Hajj), His Royal Highness Sanusi Lamido Sanusi , Emir of Kano thought the most appropriate time to announce his new 4th under-aged wife is after such a major tragedy has occurred under his watch. He is more concerned about the pleasures of his joystick (d*ck), than the lives entrusted to his care.

When will Nigerian leaders show some basic care for the people they claim to lead. The various State Amirul Hajj and State Governors (particularly Sokoto and Taraba) were more concerned about announcing to us the names Emirs, judges, and relatives of important figures who lost their lives as if the lives of other Muslims who perished in the incident are less important before Allah.
