Rubbish!

Religion is just a curse to Africa!


Expending so much discount for visitors who want to go serve a Middle-East god



We talking about recovering from the last recession and we subsidising on foreign archaic religious activities

Foolishness is a dominant gene in Africans

Unfortunately, this is one of the major reasons politicians shout "One Nigeria"

To Waste other people's resources and convince the masses that we are united.
United onto wastage.

Healthcare, business, academics doesn't receive this special status, but something as unimportant and non essential as pilgrimage does?

It is laughable that when serious issues needs to be attended to, it faces unlimited postponement, but issues that doesn't affect the common man is passed within the shortest time frame possible. We are in a cesspit!!

Crazy politicians. You want to give dollars at 200 to people who are going to hajj for personal religious reason. They will.be paying the scarce dollars to the economy of mecca and will be spending money when they get there. You are going to hajj to pray to the same God you have been praying to in Nigeria. Are they saying prayers are only answered in hajj? The same useless got telling Nigerian artiste to spend money and shoot videos and movies in Nigeria to create jobs. They want to support people to go waste money in hajj and boost their economy. The mums Ben Bruce no go open mouth talk now.

Very few actual plgrims will get the money at that rate. Politicians and cronies take the USD and sell them off. even some of the pilgrims will take USD and just sell off.

This is corruption ... the subset of corruption that does not include stealing.

Re: Senate Recommends N200/$ Exchange Rate For Pilgrims by Yahami(m): 9:51am On Jul 21, 2017
this is misplaced priority what does God says about going for Haj never allow your neighborhood to suffer while you embark on Haj. you want them to enjoy it at lower rate and the people back home should be suffering to buy food at coat rate ... I think we need to fear Allah in what ever we are doing. remember people are dying almost everyday because they can't assess medical bills, they can't eat their desire meal some ppl are Diabetic because they don't have money to buy food required of them they continue drinking garri that finally send some of them to their early grave remember there is day of accountability may Allah spear us

Nigerians are crying daily because of companies are folding up due difficulty in getting dollars for business that will bring in taxes to make the country grow economically;

yet her so called senators/leaders prefer to give free/ discounted dollars for religious reasons that haven't helped this country since 1960 even til date, rather caused more problem & disunity; increasing the level of corruption..

noooo...

the country is finished...

i think i have been deceiving myself ever since believing that the country go beta.. embarassed embarassed embarassed

We no gree, Nigeria is a secular state and as such pilgrims should find their "holiness"...
Same is accorded to Christian pilgrims.

Why subsidize it for them?


How has the pilgrimage made Nigeria better off?


What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

If you'd subsidize it for a ritualist imam just because he is going to Mecca why can't you subsidize it for an honest me going to Las Vegas to relax?

Hypocrites
Imams are not ritualists but you are. Pilgrimage to Mecca and Jerusalem are all subsidized, so why crying foul?

Why for hajj alone?
Goan make your findings, it's not for Hajj alone, Christian pilgrims also enjoy such subsidies.

Stupid senators. You did agitate for dollars to #200 to pay school fees which will be productive in the future, you did agitate for dollars to be 200 for businessmen to do their business but when it comes to religious things which are not compulsory and no impact on the economy you are saying dollars to 200..
Re: Senate Recommends N200/$ Exchange Rate For Pilgrims by EmmyDJourno: 10:27am On Jul 21, 2017
What economic importance does Pilgrimage have to the Country

When people are losing their jobs, companies folding up because they can not access forex, but you can make it available for Pilgrims

Religion is a tool for mass deceit when it comes to elections

Christianity does not mandate pilgrimage, Islam says go if you can afford

So why all this; WE DESERVE THE LEADERS WE GET BECAUSE WE REFUSED TO THINK STRAIGHT COLLECTIVELY



Please Note: The government should hands off politics and focus on more important issues angry

Shut up idiot. You islamic terrorists will never support anything good but when it comes to sabotaging the ailing economy out of stupidity and ignorance, you peopleft defend it like you got no brains. Of what use is pilgrimage to the economy to amount to such colossal waste?

My comment was polite but yours seems to be filled with frustration, why?

You called me idiot without me calling you same. You called me a terrorist without any reason or proof to back that allegation. Is that how you were brought up?
