Found this post on Facebook and thought of sharing. What's your thought on this.

Please front page. I will be travelling to the US January to further my studies/research and would be paying ridiculous amounts because of the Dollar to Naira conversion. This is outrageous if true.

I keep wondering why states or government will pay for Muslims or Christians to go for pilgrimage abroad. This country is a huge joke. Even with the so called religiosity the country is still fantastically corrupt with lots of distrust among d different ethnic groups.I am yet to see the fruits of these state sponsored pilgrimage on the well being of d nation
For me if people feel pilgrimage is very important they should sponsor themselves.

Please, how can we get this to front page. I have so many tax paying friends that do business in dollars at crazy conversions. We can't continue like this and expect to grow the economy. Nigeria lack goals and this is one of the reasons for making ludicrous decisions.

Many people are blinded with hatred. Did he not order thesame for Christians going on pilgrimage recently?


President Muhammadu Buhari has approved N160 to $1 exchange rate for the Nigeria Christian Pilgrims Commission’s (NCPC) operations.

The commission’s Executive Secretary, John Keneddy-Opara, told State House correspondents after briefing Buhari on the commission’s activities at the State House, Abuja.

He said: “As you are aware, he has approved $1 to N160 for the conventional exchange rate for this pilgrimage operation and he also agreed that he will continue to encourage us, particularly as we drive to ensure self-sustenance, to make sure that the pilgrims are able to pay for the pilgrimages by removing government sponsorship.

“This is a journey and we are sure that we are going to succeed. So, he was very happy with the entire process. We are praying that God will help us to be a source of strength to Mr.

President, so that the Federal Government and states will spend the necessary resources on other things while the pilgrimage is self-funding as time goes on.

“We are already running four pilgrimages in one year. The first is the Easter pilgrimage, which has passed, the Youth Pilgrimage which we termed operation catch them young, the family pilgrimage and the overall pilgrimage. For those going to Israel for the 11 days trip, it is N379,840 and for the youth pilgrimage, it is going to cost N357,000.”

Nigerians on pilgrimage, he noted, can now undergo skill acquisition programme organised by the Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission and Israel’s Ministry of Agriculture, towards training them in the area of agriculture.

He added: “We are introducing the pilgrimage pilot lottery scheme that will enable people who are lucky to be able to go on this trip without much dependence on the state and the Federal Government.”

He said he was in the State House to brief the President on the activities of the commission.

“I came to brief the President on the activities of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission. Earlier, my colleague, the Chairman of Hajj Commission had come to brief him.

“I had to tell him where we are and how we started the commission and where we are today and our prayers. I want to say that the President was very happy with the commission and he said the commission has done very well.”

It takes an educated man to know the value of education, but it takes a dangerous Islamist to value hajj more than education despite losing over 200 souls to Arab shrine last year.
