Pilgrims or Tourists? These clowns should go and sit down somewhere. Brainwashed subhumans. See all their sheepish faces. They earnestly believe an impartial God created a special tribe, who don't rate His son they (the blacks) are worshipping.
Many ignorantly think Israel is the most Christian nation on earth cheesy. If you tell these ozuos that Israel detest your Jesus and your Christianity, they would be arguing blindly.

Smh... Misplaced priorities.

How can a country spend billions sponsoring religious people to another nation for pilgrimage?!!

I have never understood this concept of pilgrimage to Israel and Mecca... Makes no sense whatsoever.

And even if it makes sense shouldn't you do it with your own funds. Govt has no business doing this. Nigerian govt but states and Federal are so poor. Yet they waste money.

The same isreal that calls christains idol worshippers and pagan . They collect toursim money from you, make mockery of your religion cheesy cheesy cheesy. The average and very dull Nigerian christain doesnt know they are christains whom are palestine (arabs) about 10-15% of the palestine population. The current occupiers (Zionist jews) where expelled from europe, south america and other parts of Asia. Have you heard the word anti semitism ?

There is no such thing as a pilgrimage to anywhere in the bible, some people should just own up to the fact that they want to go on tourism. The Hindus and Muslims however have legitimate grounds to go on a pilgrimage

I was called away before I could finish the thread. I wanted to use the last post to address a misconception that I knew would arise.

GOVERNMENT DOES NOT SPONSOR PILGRIMAGES

Once upon a time, in the 1980s and 1990s, the Federal Government used to pay for pilgrims to travel to Israel, the Vatican and Saudi Arabia. That practice ended with the return to democracy in 1999.

Nowadays pilgrims pay the government to organise their pilgrimages. The role of government is to provide consular services and to take care of the pilgrims in case of emergencies like the present situation.

See an example here: 2023 HAJJ: LAGOS URGES INTENDING PILGRIMS TO COMPLETE PAYMENT BY MAY 2
https://lagosstate.gov.ng/2023-hajj-lagos-urges-intending-pilgrims-to-complete-payment-by-may-2/



In fact, the complaints are now the opposite of what they used to be. The complaints in recent times is that some officials of the Pilgrims Board steal money that has been paid by pilgrims or they somehow make money from the scheme. Action has been taken against some officials. See example below.

Israel will deal with those animal cowards.

Cowards that couldn't do peaceful protest. They were doing onsight atrocities. Now, the tables have turned.


May God help Israel really destruct the cowards. And may God, give them the quick thinking to bring in Igbos to help them deal with those animals.
