Let me tell you a story.One day I was in Aba in Abia State.While I was at the Cemetery mkt I saw some Hausa business men lamenting who brought some water melon and some other Agricultural food sturfs from the North.I could see in those Hausa men been really treated bad I was moved to ask what was going on and after the explanations I came to realize that some group of guys from Aba were trying to collect an illegal revenue from this business guys from the North unlawfully after they have paid the actual duties.I went to the group in question and pleaded on behalf of those Northerners but unfortunately those guys turned against me and even wanted to fight me if not I was gentle,I imagined me with Agboro (Tauts) fighting I have never fought or been beating up for over 18 years I traveled out of Nigeria,the whole thing was strange to my understanding.I was shocked the way those guys refused to understand.I then asked them if the same should happen to them while in the North you guys will complain why not show an example being peaceful and show hospitality to these traders from the North.Just to cut my story short,Let every Nigerian try to tolerate (if not love) each other no matter our differences in tribe,religion and so on! That is the only way forward if we insist in building a strong nation.

GOOD POINT thanks .  I am of the opinion that  touts will do anything to reap off fellow citizens who work hard to make their money
Discriminating Nothern from Southern or vice versa is shameful and should be considered and an incriminating offense

@Spekay,As you can see typical example on the issue that lead to the Northern traders on strike,this has brought to high cost of food and agricultural products and in fact scarcity.

SO WHAT!!! Govt no govt, the Hajj will be attended as usual if not evn on a bigger scale. It is a calling from ALLAH (SWT) so muslims will sacrifice a great deal for such an important cause. I dont undrstnd why Xtians look for the slightest possible oppurtunity to throw cheap shots @ Islam. Its the fastest growing religion for a reason so say whateva but deal with it u must.
You will agree that this pilgrimage should not be sponsored by the national cake.  It should be a community thing where the rich people in the community should donate a substantial sum of money for those less able to make the pilgrimage to be able to do so at least once in their life time.

It used to be a journey made by the rich not sure why the government would get involved to sponsor others and yet, the poor without connection, has not been able to make that pilgrimage to date so it is well that this funding be abolished because those meant to benefit never did benefit, but the rich got richer and the poor got poorer and the funds were mismanaged.

The government has made the right decision this time and we should commend them.  God bless Nigeria.

Oh i agree with you totally on this one.... Nigeria is a diverse country with many ethnic groups & religions so Federal govt. should stay out of issues of this sort. However.... state govts on the other hand hav the right to divert their funds according to the will of the people and the laws governing the country, so what happens in the muslim northern states is no-one elses business. Subsidy will come from the state & local govts. tht is without a doubt.

The state funds also came from the Federal government.  Funds received from the federal government should not be allocated from religious pilgrimages for any religion.

This type of funding should only be covered via the religious organizations and not the funds coming from the federal government to the states.  All government should actually keep out of funding religious pilgrimages.
Sorry Kenyawest but u hv no stake or say in how states should divert their funds so well definitely do as we please with our money Grin Grin Grin (or sorry south south oil money given to us for the sake of federalism).

Bonz, since when did you decide when I have a stake or not?

Com on Kenyawest your stake is in 9ja & the state u hail from..... as far as kano & co are concerned OF COURSE U DONT!!!!

This is one Nigeria.  All Nigerians hail from Nigeria.  All Nigerians can move to any state that they wish to reside in.  All Nigerians hold a stake on each state existing in Nigeria.  Kano and co are my concerns as well.  Nigeria is Nigeria.

Get it?


No I DONT get it!! stop tryin coz i sure as hell wont. Ur being naive now Kenyawest so let me paint u a picture. I hail from kano and can be Gov. one day... thts a long shot but as long as i breathe thts a possiblity... my point is i can !!!NEVER!!! run for office in any state in the south east,southwest or south south, it wud b the joke of the millennium to even try to do so. If i dont hav tht right then wat stake do i have?Huh?  So im sayin this for the very LAST time... U DO NOT AND WILL NOT HAVE ANY STAKE WATSOEVA IN KANO & CO. NOT NOW NOT EVER!!!!

Of course you will not get it.  There is no naivety in this matter except yours.  I hail from Minna and I do not care if you become governor of Kano or not.  This is still one Nigeria.  If you have established enough residence in any Nigerian state as per the constitution, you can run in any state.  My parents are from the East, but I was born in Minna.  They are Igbos, but I am a full fledged Hausa woman so live with it.  My husband hails from Edo State so my children have claims in both the Igbo states, Edo States and Northern States, and one of my children was born in Lagos so I completely claim the entire Nigeria.  You hail from where you are born and from where you have established residence to run for office as per the constitution of the Republic of Nigeria.  Stop acting like you do not understand.

You see I still maintain,if Nigeria claim to be one why can't an Easterner be free in the North or vice versa.The issue is that all these people are forced to be one due to one selfish interests and reasons so far.When you take your time to read from every body's view be it Christians or Muslims,Hausas ,Igbos,Yerubas and so on what you see in most cases are pure hatred on each other.When shall we learn to put our differences aside and learn to at least tolerate one another.That will do us a lot good if we claim to be one Nigeria.

Amen.  I claim one Nigeria.  I hail from the North, East, West, South.  Nigeria is mine and one Nigeria I hail.  God bless Nigeria.

I will solidify it even more by marrying off my children to East, North, South, West.  Let those who have ears understand how to keep and maintain one Nigeria.
God bless Nigeria forever.

Fighting waste is what you should focus your attention on.  Focusing on corruption of government officials and eradicating them will propel you to governorship much faster.  When you join without corrections, you will also start stealing from the national cake and corruption continues and the country continues to slip more and more into darkness.  Funneling some of the funds into sponsoring pilgrimage should not be your answer.  Education, Economics, Employment, etc. should be your concern for the ordinary Nigerians and that is some of the places you should insist that funds go to and you see results.
