Good one this subsidy scam when only northerners and Muslims dey join. If you don't have money to travel to Saudi, please stay at home.

A director in polytechnic Kaduna use to fly to Saudi every year still didn't stop him from stealing money using a pen.

MartinCorridon:
I'm a Muslim and it is extremely stupid to subsidise Hajj.

God instructed us to go ONLY if we can afford the trips.

Trillions have been wasted on pilgrimage to Mecca and Jerusalem while our own country has continued to rot. Funny enough Saudi doesn't even need Nigeria. We are just a drop in the ocean. I've been there.

We are the most religious. We pay tithes in churches and go for Hajj.

Same set of "religious" people embezzle, cheat and rape their maids.

Always said it. If I become President, will immediately stop subsidising Hajj and tax the hell out of churches.

You will refuse to pay taxes but you're loyal to paying tithes. Yet Jesus said " Give unto to Caesar what's Caesar's and give unto God what's God".

Funny enough, Arabs and Jews hate Blacks more than excreta yet we Africans have adopted their gods as superior to ours.

Go to UAE, Saudi Arabia, Italy and Israel and you will flog our leaders. Useless.

the only reason I gave Islam a chance is cus ali a black man was made a khalifa if not

1000% correct. A major problem of black Africans is that many resent their own skin and feel it is inferior to that of the Caucasian white man or even fairer folks like Arabs. That is a fundamental yet ignored issue that continues to leave Africa and Africans failing.

Look at African leaders who myopically believe educating and training all their children abroad is better than trying to create best standards of educaction and training in Africa. Yahaya Bello was so enamoured with the American international school education system in Nigeria to the extent he paid almost $1 million for his kids to study there till, presumably, they can all then be transferred to the USA for university education.

It is sad the world sees and treat Africans as second class but even more tragic that Africans themselves see and treat Africans as second class. In Nigeria today, we are killing ourselves and destroying our ancestral land over religions that did not originate here in Nigeria. What shows inferiority complex and subservience to others more than that?

One useless country that pays people to go to another man's country to worship God.
Put that pilgrims subsidy into education and no country will see our back

Good riddance

Good 👍 News!

Hajj subsidy should be scrapped. Anyone wishing to travel to Mecca or Jerusalem should finance himself or herself. It's not the business of government if anyone wishes to embark on spiritual rejuvenation or renewal of faith.

A lot of money being wasted on going to Hajj.

All Hajji Commissions should be scrapped immediately. No nation thrives under religious spending and pretensions.

GanagiBitrus:

Hajj & pilgrimages should be personal affair.
Good for Govt to stop spending on subsidising such ventures.

My thoughts too. Supported!🙏

helinues:
Good

Hajj is a religious issue which government shouldn't have any business with.

It's not a must to go for Hajj if you can't afford it.

Nigerians have been going for pilgrimage for decades yet nothing changes most especially from the politicians

Supported brother!🙏

What is the GAIN OF this pilgrimage in the first place

No added value to the social or economic system in our society !!

Government should never have subsidized Hajj in the first place. It is an individual matter and each pilgrim should bear the cost

Some many evil schemes were introduced into our budget by wicked, corrupt demons. Why should public funds be used to sponsor private tourism? Yes, it's private tourism. If it means so much to you, fund it from your pocket. Pilgrimage subsidy enriches a few devils here and the government of the host country.

Tinubu, you have done pretty well here. Let them cry blood. You fit sell your house take go pilgrimage, na u sabi.

So you expect naira to remain at #1600/$1... What kind of human being are you? You don't even believe in your country and you are praying for a better Nigeria. This OP need drilling wotowoto.

Good one from BAT, Hajj and Christian Pilgrimage shouldn't be a business of the government.

Long time coming. If you want to go to Hajj, fucking pay for it in full.

Any Arab slave who wants to visit their slave masters land should be able to pay for their own tickets.

you guys never learn. you too dey believe govt .
nigerians never learn from history whereas history keeps repeating itself daily

tuoyoojo:
Waw!!!

Nice move to remove subsidy on people personal religious journey

But the hike is also due to the naira that fast losing value due to floating of the Naira and other wrong economic decisions

E be like say na Venezuela's inflation path we dey go so o

Let's see how many people go still go hajj this year

How ever you be, where every you are.....you must feel the hand of T-pain

Baba, most subsidies retained in Nigeria today are bad and should be scrapped because they only create negative and economically unproductive addiction that renders Nigerians worthless. Same as crack cocaine destroys those addicted to it eventually.

Think about it. If you are feeding and housing your 28 year old graduate son, plus providing him a monthly allowance he can use to host oloshos, what will then inspire him to be productive, hardworking, ambitious, a productive pillar of society and a solutions provider?

That is the problem of Nigeria. We subsidise virtually everything to then lead to the mental laziness and entitlement mentality that has stunted the productivity and solutions-provision potentials of the average Nigerian by as much as 80%.

Look at all Nigerians complaining of hunger, because they think government must feed them, yet many do not understand they can convert the little space around their house to small farms in a period of national emergency. Did we not all have to adjust during the covid lock down period? Why not take same approach now that Nigeria must reform or die because past leadership mistakes has made that our unavoidable reality today?


That is the damage subsidy does. It creates dependency, stunts the capacity of an individual to be driven and productive while ultimately reducing most Nigerians to a cretin-like state where they don't even see obvious solutions in front of their eyes before they start shouting "Tinubu".

Nigeria had no business subsidising Hajj in the first place in so far as most successful and developed nations, that deliberately embraced secularity, chose to dump sponsorship of religious activities at the door of private organisations and individuals. Stop subsidising Hajj and most Nigerian Muslim will soon understand Hajj is not as compulsory as getting close to your God in your heart and private surrounding rather than visiting a place, very expensively, others have made you to believe is sanctified.

Nothing but inferiority complex and brianwashing. God, by his omnipotence and omnipresence, abides everywhere. Not in Mecca or Jerusalem alone. Seek him in the corner of your Ajegunle, Daura or Zaki Biam room and he will be there to listen to you.

Justnation:

Indeed. Next thing Tinubu must do, in my opinion, is to introduce a religious secularity Bill that will relegate all religions, be that Christianity or Islam, to the background per national, economic, public administration and political life of Nigerians.

We never do things properly in Nigeria and that is why our nation is effed up.

Religion, overall, is a net negative to Nigeria in my opinion. If I am in Tinubu's shoes I will follow a policy of reducing the power and influence of Christian and Moslem religious leaders, malevolent in many cases, so that Nigerians can begin to embrace the concept of "Heaven help those who help themselves" instead of donation their brain, will and money to so-called men of God.

Well said 💯 my brother. I agree with you.

You encapsulated the tragicomedy plaguing Nigeria.

Salute!🙏

Tetrahedron:
Any president that will come after and re-introduce subsidy on pilgrimage, curse be upon him!!!

has fanatics like you atleast applauded Tinubu for this one , instead of spewing shit.

CodeTemplarr:
What about the christian version of Hajj? Or that one doesnt exists? Every wastage must go. If the Alhaji and imams stop eating from the table, they will speak and do it loudly enough to resonate with the suffering mekunus.

you wan go Israel Wey dem dey fire rockets

ednut1:
you wan go Israel Wey dem dey fire rockets

Rome nko?

Wastages...

The earlier the better for you.. It seems you Nige*rians are beginning to realize some bondages you are in, and now getting freedom gradually..

Bla*ck people are le*sser monkeys..because they think with their stomach and anus..

Mtcheew!

Bla*cks are gluttonous in nature..

Country hard and people will still pay 10m for a fruitless journey.

This is the least of any sane person(s) concern

What is the benefit of this hajj, pilgrimage to Nigeria..the country getting bad upon this prilgrims going to this prilgrimahe and hajj...the bible says faith, prayers without work is dead

fortunez1:

Truth is that Tinubu is the bitter pill Nigerians must swallow to survive and then thrive immensely tomorrow. Is it possible to survive cancer without painful chemotherapy that leaves you weak, listless, depressed and nauseated always? No.

Yet, once you recover and are cancer-free, a new life and new possibilities beckons after defeating the dreaded disease. What President has had the balls to take this sort of action since 1999? GEJ and Buhari knew subsidy had to go but were too weak and too focused on politics of two term Presidency to do the right thing.

Buhari is even worse with how he removed fuel subsidy in the budget he signed into law that would be implemented under Tinubu.
Yet Tinubu has never tried to hide. He has stood his ground also in belief his policies will liberate Nigeria long-term and for good.


The biggest problem of Nigeria has been lack of political will from all Presidents and heads of State of our nation since independence. When faced with the option of taking tough but correct choices, at critical junctions in our history, they capitulated and made populist, cabalistic or self-serving choices that only worsened the misery of Nigerians and Nigeria.

Nigerians really misunderstand Tinubu. I don't agree with everything he has done so far but I believe he is by far the best, bravest most strong-willed and most well-meaning leader we have had since Obafemi Awolowo.

Do Nigerians even understand how many enemies Tinubu accepts he has made, with this move, in Northern Nigeria where they are fundamental in their religious worship? If he is solely focused on 2027 Northern votes, rather than accelerated progress fro Nigeria, why make this move?

This is a President to back for a better future but Nigerians, with entitlement mentality, won't see it till they land themselves with Atiku or worse.

While you tax Churches, remember to tax mosques too. Collections are taken there...and the Imams also feed fat on the sweat of their followers. Both religions take financial collections in one form or the other, not only the Church.
