This is uncalled for. Industralists and importers are having a hard time getting Dollar to facilitate their business, and you are giving pilgrims ill-advised favour that will add no value to the economy.

Oildichotomy:
We know why this is on the news, all in a bid to show his new free religious stance.
I do not support the subsidization whether unto Christians or unto Muslims or otherwise.

Almost everyone here is a sychophant. They say one thing today and another tomorrow. Buhari is a hero today and an enemy tomorrow.

It's a pity you guys don't know this's just a ploy to benefit abokii money changers. Abokii will acquire the dollars and sell to christian pilgrimages. They will still have to buy at the prevailing black market rate of N240 to $1. I can bet you on this.

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.



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.”



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.”



Modern day scams.
If you are a Christian and you are not ashamed and disgusted by these schemes, then your conscience is dead.

Sir, I think you are the absolutely clueless one here. So you expect Buhari to just simply ban the trip or withdraw the hitherto pilgrimage support in this highly charged ethno-religious political environment of ours? The president as a very calm knowledgeable and efficient man has rightly advised the commission that the federal government will withdraw such support soon, that those pilgrims should be prepared to self-sponsor in the very near future. That is how you manage affairs in a complex, rural, poor country like ours.
Another brainless partisan hack speaking! What economic benefit does this add to the economy? You are intellectuly challenged to wrap ur head around my submission! Where did I mention ban? Taking money from treasury to sponsor religious travelers is pure irresponsibility!!

federal and state sponsored prigrims of Christians and Muslims should be stopped, it's waste of resources of the peoples in sponsoring holidays and businesses in the name of sponsoring archaic prigrims,that federal and state government use as pat in back for their grassroots followers,our lord cannot be deceived, go through the bible as a Christian in new testament,where Jesus preached about the way to his father heart,never mentioned prigrims or govt sponsored, but rather he went to mountain to fast and pray,which we have so many seclusive places and prayer mountains here in Nigeria, and God can hear prayer anywhere, but then to personally finance one trip to mecca or Jerusalem can be attested to sacrifice to God, and back it up with doing according to words of God,then that's a good prigrim,and the lord will surely answer.
