Hmmmmmm. This country needs an economic team urgently! What is the benefit of this religious pilgrimage to the economy? You raise import bills to N313 per dollar thereby further crippling trade and commerce. You now dash to people who are making personal religious journey N197 to the dollar. Haba..haba..haba. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

ollah1: Christian or Muslim, none of them should get any sort of waiver to source for dollar to go on a meaningless trip in the name of pilgrimage when there are businesses closing up on a daily due to inability to source for dollar and our economy is suffering from it. |
Re: CBN To Sell Dollars To Pilgrims For 197 by MattChidi(m): 1:39pm On Aug 05, 2016 |
this is uncalled for and unimportant at this stage of the economy. Why sale to pilgrims at a lower rate but refuse to sell so to importers that will help to sustain the economy. i just taya for this government, no single thing one can say he or she has benefited from the government. Nonsense! |

Nusaf: Well, none of those twàts are my representatives. I live in a functional society. However, I'm Nigerian and I want what is good for my country. This madness has to be reversed. Emefiele has lost his bloody mind. All those involved in this need to get their heads examined. There are people dying of hunger and government is sponsoring a voluntary religious pilgrimage. That is grave injustice and not Islam! |

Vanillaskin: You seriously didn't see this coming? You require a MOG to tell you the obvious!! ![]() I saw it coming and campaigned against it! As did millions of other Nigerians, unfortunately those of us who could have stopped it were too lazy to vote and/or defend their votes! Hence the disaster called buhari and APC, besides, the worst is yet to come! Now that is a prediction you don't need a MOG to tell you |

willibounce1:I'm intelligent to NOT support any sort of unlawful ousting of any government. I will continue to support this government not because I want to but because I ain't got any choice whatsoever. But when elections should come I will not vote for either pdp or whatever name they come up with or acn or whatever slogan they'll come up with , I will vote for someone that's just and if the parties should bring up a just candidate I will vote anyway for the person that has the highest possibility of losing. |

GET THE FACT RIGHT I read alot of bruhaha on social media about our government giving Muslim pilgrim dollar at N197 to $1. But what the media don't tell you is that this pilgrims (over 80% of them) paid their money to the government pause months ago (some even paid in 2015) before the devaluation of the naira. Therefore you will agree with me that it will be unfair for thesame government to charge the same pilgrims (or provide its service) at the current rate (300+) when however the transaction was agreed and paid for at the old rate (197). |

No dollar subsidy for manufacturing, infrastructure or for education. Dollar subsidy for private pilgrimages to Hajj and Jerusalem. Sometimes I think we should just stop trying to be a modern society and just become one giant religious cathedral with no roof. The matter taya even mathias. |

magicminister: I hate being a Nigerian i swear. I don't know which kain curse be this. What did we do wrong? Where did we go wrong? A nation that subsidizes excursion trips while the economy is crumbling. ojun50: don't hate being a Nigeria jst pray Nigeria get better in a short time How can Nigeria get better when the managers of the economy keeps doing the wrong thing daily? God is not a magician and so we cannot continue to wallow in sin or doing the wrong thing and continue to pray and hope for peace or the right outcome. We can only reap what we have sown. A country that is faced with acute foreign exchange scarcity and as such cannot subsidize fees for: her citizens studying abroad, importation of rice for its teeming population that are hungry, local industries that need fx to import raw materials, plant and machinery ect but feels the most important thing to do is to start using that scarce resource to fund few people on tourism. |

The country is facing serious economic crisis... and yet the useless and clueless govt still gives preference to hajj...i mean who does that? all pilgrimage trips (both Christians and Muslims )should be canceled for the sake of saving the dying economy |

If they truly can sell dollar for a reduced price, I think it should be sold to people who are travelling abroad to school, and not to people who travel on pilgrimage. |
