ReplyDeleteThanks for the update
ReplyDeleteI pray for a better Nigeria 🙏
It is well
ReplyDeleteA whole 90 billion naira for Hajj subsidy. Government should stop to sponsoring any religious prigrimages.
ReplyDeleteYou want to go to Jerusalem or Mecca pls find your way.
I don't know what business is it of any government to sponsor anyone's religious pilgrimage. That is a personal undertaking that only impacts the individual, no one else. When schools and public hospital are in disrepair and need immediate attention and funding it is ppl on pilgrimage who are prioritized. Government paying for ppl to take vacation.
DeleteIt is well with Nigeria
