Religious bias would always hold sway to common sense or just reasoning, thus since it was done for the xtians it must be done for the muslims. No need to put the economic climate at these differing time periods into perpective. We will all foam in the mouth and they will do wat they want. So no point throwing exxpensive spittle here, cos I bought a bag of pure water for 150 to make that spittle 4 Likes |

Rather than condemn the wastefulness, many "progressives" are busy reframing it as "religious freedom and fairness", since christian got , muslim also has the same right. Then I asked again , what business does the government have in sponsoring people for religious tourism ? How does this improve our economy ? 5 Likes |

fiercehillz:Buhari is a despicable fhool with zero economic sense. A reasonable human being would have subsidized import charges and duty of importers at least to cushion the effect of the current harsh economic situation dealing with nigerians. Nigeria being an import dependent country would need it badly considering the very austere economic situation of the moment, but No! the incompetent doofus will rather use his fellow ab0ki in customs to stifle importers and make them cough out exorbitant charges all in name of duty/tariff charge which they jacked up recently. And in his shallow mind he thinks he is doing Igbo people who are majority in importation, forgetting that the law of economics will suffice in such situation, importers will push the burden to end users/final consumers. At the end, the poor masses will continue to suffer further impoverishment. So much for a leader who promised to make life better for nigerians. It shall never end well for buhari. 2 Likes |

izzou: 2019 What? Nigeria's political structure created by Arewa soldiers ensures that even if Buhari misleads Nigeria to hell, he must win second term. Were they asleep in 2015 when they consigned Nigeria back to the conservative military block that represents only northern Nigeria's interests? 3 Likes |

Some smart guys will make silly money from this loophole. They will get the exchange in the name of pilgrimage and resell to abo.kis at floating rate. Good business. The earlier our govt realised that most people use religion to gain advantage over the masses, the better for the country. Tell me what benefit has this country gotten from these pilgrimages? Nothing! Some politicians just use them to boost their ego and acquire titles (Alhaji, Jerusalem Pilgrim) Just mention the name of any looter of Nigeria resources that is not an Alhaji or a Jerusalem Pilgrim. Then why is the govt wasrting our resources to sponsor criminals for a jamboree? I tire for this country jare. 5 Likes |

@ N197 to $1 no subsidy or gestures of any kind was ever given to the pilgrims what you shoulder understand 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). |

Katyusha:Choose 1. An expired visionless general vs 'extremely' corrupt president. Bear in mind that 1. with the latter, life was bearable, basic needs were affordable, and you could cope with your meager income. 2. But with the former, life has become frustrating as cost of living has skyrocketed whereas standard of living has dropped as Nigerians go through untold hardship and suffering 4 Likes |
