According to the Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Shehu Garba, the dollar subsidy is non-discriminatory and was also approved for Christians as well.

It's still a waste of scarce resources. No developed nation put religion ahead of more important things, they all started building mega churches AFTER they secured their futures and comforts.

A wasteful country- a loss of over #10 billion for nigeria when we have salaries unpaid, inadequate infrastructure etc. It's obvious this administration is bent on prioritising anything islam. First the country got extra day due to religious reason and now this. We are indeed in animal Farm...Some animals are more equal than others. Is this the change we signed for? With recession staring us in the face and we have to find Hajj! Very patetic and sickening!

Listen Mr man. You people don't get it . I'm a Christian and I don't support subsidized or sponsored pilgrimage be it Muslim or Christian. Separate Governance from Religion. How has religion added to the economy. Religion is a personal individual relationship with your creator. So justification or whatso ever when business men are in pain , student abroad, medicare can't be imported due to the high exchange rate. I regret I campaigned for Buhari I thought he knowns better.

paul imaji said...

@Shehu Garba governance is dynamic. Something may be right 3months ago but the exigencies of the present may make government change it stance immediately. This is bad economics and just destroys the work of the cbn in trying to woo foreign portfolio investors. It just shows that government will manipulate the rates when it suits it. Not good for investors confidence-building

Segzy said...

Mr. Garba Shehu, I'm sorry but you do not seem to get the point at all. Did you spend time listening to people who have been complaining? The point is not about subsidising islamic hajj and not doing the same for christians. No! The point, once again for you to understand is that this country is secular, religion is a personal thing and government should not get involved in it at all. We have students who want to travel out of the country to school but cannot even access adequate forex at the expensive rate of N380:$1. We have people with health challenges who need the same forex to travel but cannot get them. We have the manufacturers association of nigeria who will need forex to bring in raw materials, equipment and machinery but cannot have access to the same forex. If government can subsidize any of these 3 areas I have mentioned, what do you think will happen to the economy? You see, like its been said all day, I am not sure I understand how the mentality of your guys in government is configured. Do you guys know what is happening to the average man on the street at all? Do you know that about 80% of the population of this country live on less than a dollar a day? Do you know that banks can and will no longer finance new cars for buyers anymore at current rates especially for the same sort of buyers that could have been financed only a year ago? Do you know unemployment has reached unprecedented levels right now? Do you know that our National Misery Index (which is a measure of how miserable your citizens are) is at an all time high of 38%? Do you know these things at all? Do you know that there a lot of social implication of what you are trying to defend which even you cannot handle if the resultant crises erupts? Let me give you a piece of advice sir. Next time you want to do this sort of a thing, please do it in secret and don't let the press or anyone here of it. This is not to legalise or rationalise it but just to save you and your boss from embarrassment because as it is, you don't seem to know what is going on or what is required for national progress in this day and age. But then, even if you don't know what is going on, common sense should suggest that your actions need to be double checked. Thank you!

Foooooooools what more do you have to come out and say ? Is that the priority confused people abokis . Is it dying and drowning economy and you are coming out to defend shit .

You are coming out to defend cos social media exposed you. Which Christian ,at what point did you made this known stupid set of nuisance in government .

Do that for the business Men/women also

Unknown said...

Discrimination is the least of the issue here. As a manufacturer that helps build the economy of this country, I buy my products at the official exchange rate which has increased. As a student or patient going outside the country, I pay for my bills at the new rate which has also increased. Yet, pilgrims (Christians, Muslims or atheists) who are going outside the country at their own free will, not bringing any economic benefits to the nation, USD is subsidized.
The excuse is so lame here. We don't realize the huddle were facing as a country that's why the govt is still galvanizing and acting as children.

This is really sad. Nigeria is a country with diverse religions. I strongly feel the govt should stop funding any pilgrimage be it for Muslims or Christians. People who want to visit the holy land should visit from their pockets. It's so wrong when they do something like this and they start comparing. Scrap Hajj Commission and whatever other pilgrimage commissions there are. People are hungry and yet u talk of subsidising fx for ur pple. Big Shame on you all.

I don't know why people are surprised; Buhari is a religious fanatics, he never ever hide it, one of the reason he shouldn't be the president of country such as Nigeria but the south west sold their soul to the devil.

The so-called pilgrims are private institutions, Christians or Muslims. It should not get any type of government funding. For a government that's always saying it wants to cut down on government spending to go ahead and subsidize dollar for pilgrims is a show of misplaced priorities

The issue here is not about xtain and moslem. considering the challenges faced in the country it is crazy to be subsidising left and right while the real economy is neglected. Manufacturers and employers of labour cannot get forex but pilgrims can.

From what I see today in Nigeria I am very certain that Muslims would not need to use a violent jihad to islamize Nigeria. CHRISTIANS themselves will be used by Muslims to islamize Nigeria. Afterwards the Muslims will turn against the Christians that helped them. These are the type Muslims call the useful idiots.Just ask yourself how Muslim nations became Islamic nations? Is there any record of them doing evangelical work? Did they tell people about how wonderful their prophet Mohammed is? How he raped women? How he beheaded nine hundred Jews in one day? How he had sex with a nine year old girl? How he was demon possessed for one year? How he could not perform a miracle? How he is a prophet without a prophecy? How he sold slaves for weapons of war?If MUSLIMS did not do evangelism how come there are 58 nations of the world Who say they are ISLAMIC countries? Including countries that used to be Christian countries.They used greedy pastors and stupid Christians. The ones they call the USEFUL IDIOTS. The Bible says, when men slept. These same CHRISTIANS were the ones that told us the elections had nothing to do with religion. Buhari just registered Nigeria in the Islamic coalition against terrorism led by Saudi Arabia. The very same Saudi Arabia that is the chief sponsor of Islamic terrorism. The first major conference buhari would bring to Nigeria is the INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC CONFERENCE . A conference that pastor vice president cannot attend. While 'clueless' GEJ was convening INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC CONFERENCE at a time of plenty Buhari is convening ISLAMIC CONFERENCE at a time of economic crisis. Now you see where his priority lies.Muslims are now using El Rufai Kaduna as a test case to see how they can stop CHRISTIANS from preaching the gospel not even for you to listen to a gospel message in your car. Who knows they may even ban gospel music. Other northern states are copying Mr El Rufai's law.Fulani herdsmen are sacking Christian villages in the north. Ambode sealed over twenty churches in Lagos for noise pollution. Not one Allah Akbar morning yelling mosque was sealed. Ambode is supposed to be a Christian remember? What do Muslims call them again? Something like useful Idiots. The chapel at Aso Rock has been shut down and guess who had to explain to CHRISTIANS? Yeah our very own Pastor vice president. Again, another major very useful Idiot Who they used to get the Christian votes.The only minister to have died under Buhari happens to be a Christian Apologist. I mean a strong defender of the gospel of Jesus. Somehow all the safety features in the car suddenly stopped working. Not one airbag deployed. Remember this is a federal minister riding in a very expensive car fitted with the best safety features. Did I also mention that the driver did not die? He was strong enough to pull out the body of the minister.I hear many Christians say it is impossible to islamize Nigeria. Question is, If they try it today will you pick up arms? What are you doing to make sure it does not happen? Posted just as I received.A bill to have grazing land all over nigeria sent by the govt has just passed the second reading and there is every possibity that the bill will pass as most southern christian legislators has been compromised. Get ready for Fulani muslim communities to be established in our christian communities. Between christians and muslims who is likely change his or her religion, the christians because we are not strong in faith and it is a dead sentence for a muslim to change to christian or any other religion. Many christians will be lured with money to change to muslim and by boyfriend girl friend and inter marriage. Remember, the project is being sponsored by Saudi Arabia and Nigeria govt therefore, money to convert christians to muslim will not be a problem. Please don't tell me you can never be lured with money. It has already started in Imo state.

These guys still dont get it. We are not advocating for subsidy for Christians...we are saying religious rites is non of your business! Besides if it was approved 3 months ago, events have overtaken it...just like some manufacturers got approval at 197.5 and never got the money at that rate because of flexible fx policy....you CANNOT prioritize pilgrimage. Especially at this time....it has no economic impact. ..dunno what that emefiele is still doing as head of CBN...even sanusi will not consent to this nonsense

@Beauty, pls be reasonable - it doesn't make economic sense for any government to subsidise any religious festival or trip.

phemy joel said...

The Christian should reject the offer cause it will be more favourable to the Muslim pilgrims than the Christian, because they are far much in number than the Christian.....

@Segzy, this is what usually happens when clueless, uneducated n religiously-inclined people rule

A directionless government is what we have now and honestly I think I prefer clueless to this. Truth be told this administration's achievement is directly proportional to the President's smartness. Does he strike you as a smart man? The only record he put on the table is that he has ruled us before and it wasn't his intellectual capabilities that got him that. This admin will underperform Because you can't expect a 60watt bulb to give you 200watt illumination.

@Ify Chude, they've always sold their souls to the devil, it's not new, it's their practice. They're devil worshippers right from time, even to this present age, they're still worshipping the devil, we're not surprised and we won't be surprised if it happens again. If God was not a merciful God, they would have sold us too but God forbid that His children be captives. We will every remain God's people and God will continue to fight for us watch over us, keep and protect us from evil as we keep on holding onto Him. They, the devil worshippers always enjoy the mercy of God cos they have people like us that still stick to God no matter what. For them, once they face a little challenge, na devil be their first call for manipulation which they're chief. When they do that and vex God and fail, they'll keep mute and God will still pardon cos of us since He can't destroy Nigeria consedering the few of us that still serve Him and HIS mercies towards us that is new every morning. May God's mercies continue to abound for us in Jesus' name, amen.

He's had a previous good experience as president of Nigeria or anywhere in the world or a graduate with a working experience anywhere? You people don't reason at all!!!!!!! Even a politician he's not. A NOTORIOUS JIHADIST, that's how everyone including you knew him but you voted him due to selfishness.and tribalism. You can't eat your cake and have it. Hope this serves a lesson to all of you. Next time you check one's profile very well for experience, good record and educational qualification before voting and not listen to your selfish, greedy, money hungry, clueless elders and their parties. A word is enough for the wise. #buharistepdown

I bet Buhari and his men are daft cause ifs obvious they didn't get the argument. Why subsidise religious pilgrimage whether Christian or Muslim .Nigerians are saying make dollars available for importers and manufacturers. Things that will impact on the economy is what the little forex available should be subsidise for, that will be understandable. Please borrow sense, the economy needs attention from Buhari....

GARBA SHEHU, you are a certified moron. Nobody cares what happened to Christian pilgrims. So me that I decided to fly to Dubai 12 months ago, will you sell me PTA at 197.00? Is there nothing more important to do in this country than subsidise religious pilgrimage. I don't want to be like this but I have to say it......God punish you and the other morons who do not know the level of HUNGER, POEVRTY, DISSILLUSIONMENT and DEATH you are causing in this country. May all the woes you have inflicted on Nigeria blight you and the other cronies in this government for generations to come.

They want to go and pray ni. Better still stone the devil. That should help them.

This is not acceptable. Those going for pilgrimage are doing so for their benefit why do the nation subsidize for them? This is fraud and corruption but it is a shame an advocate of anti corruption initiated this. Those calling others wailers should have a rethink-if we r to waste fund to favour the rich xtian or islam......how do the poor survive

This man Buhari!!! I be you Christians will never get that rate. He just came in to make things easier and life better for the Muslims! Buhari is slowly revealing himself as worse than Abacha!!!

Well the FG should not have subsidized for any religious group pls. How is that an investment biko? Can't they pray at home or in their church or mosque in Nigeria. Misplaced priorities!!! Buhari should step down if he does not know what to do to revive the economy.
