Morayo & The Ladies Query FG As Pres. Tinubu Approves N90BN For Hajj Subsidy [ HOT TOPIC ]

- The Federal Government has come under fire for its recent decision to subsidise the 2024 Hajj with N90 billion despite allocating only N50 billion for the student loan scheme in the 2024 budget.
Education and legal experts have slammed the decision, noting that spending such a humongous amount of money to subsidise Hajj is a misplacement of priority.
Representing President Bola Tinubu at the flag-off of the inaugural airlift for the 2024 Hajj exercise at Sir Ahmadu Bello International Airport, Birnin Kebbi, Vice President Kashim Shettima disclosed that the president had ordered the N90 billion subsidy for the 2024 Hajj.
The VP said the president took this initiative given the economic situation of Nigeria, urging the intending pilgrims to pray for peace, unity, and progress in the country.
Shettima said, “Mr President is committed to this year’s Hajj due to the economic situation. He has contributed N90bn billion to subsidise this year’s Hajj exercise to ensure a smooth and successful operation.
“You may recall that this year, we had a major challenge in announcing the final Hajj fare for the 2024 Muslim pilgrimage due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
“President Bola Tinubu also works round the clock to control the downward spiral of our local currency to bring relief to our pilgrims and other Nigerians.
“A move that eventually succeeded in lowering the fare. The president approved the release of N90 billion to subsidise the cost of pilgrimage for this year’s Hajj,” the VP stated.
Recall that a directive by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria had asked pilgrims to pay an additional N1.9m balance by current foreign exchange rates, before the deadline of March 29, 2024.

I think what’s even more disturbing about this is the fact that this 90BN will not even be inputted into the Nigerian economy but the economy of a country that is doing way better than we are doing.
This is simply the government taking money from the pockets of the poor and giving it to another country all in the name of religion
Like I always say.. as long as we continue with this delusion called democracy.. Nigeria will never be better
Becee you are very wise and intelligent
Not true intelligent people will not support TINIBU which they did except Beecee.
I reiterate, Beecee is fantastically intelligent.
This one that Morayo is speaking the truth today😮! It's like they have started feeling it earlier than I predict 😂😂😂

They all voted for evil APC, except Becee, we all saw what happens. They have lost majority respect of many
This is worst government in the history of Nigeria
Sis Tope she’s a visionary leader since a month of dis present administration she’s as strongly committed to speak truth to power likewise Aunt YK n Sis Beecee not like Sis Maryam n Sis Mo. Pls let realise dat if dis govt succeed we r all succeed if other way round na all of us go serve breakfast 😂😂😂
Aunty Morayo speaking against the decision of the “chosen one”” Ahhhh!!
The corruption is the greatest problem Nigeria has, and there no measures to stop corruption.
BeeCee, Tope and Mariam are on point! BeeCee is always on point!
It's Emiloko, renewed hopelessness, tinubu built Lagos indeed 😂😂
Morayo, the Presidential spokesperson on nonsense and wastages
u dey mind morayo, na today u know her? u think she is neutral?
Divide the money by 36states to build just one modern hospital with facilities. Nigeria who swear for us
God bless you Beec,Tope and Mariam. This govt is clueless
With about 65,047 Nigerian pilgrims from both public and private sectors expected to perform the 2024 Hajj exercise. In total N630Billion to the House of Saud in 2024.
Yet Nigeria medical facilities are generally poorly equipped. Many medicines are unavailable, including medications for diabetes or asthma. Hospitals often expect immediate cash payment for health services. Yet emergency services are grossly insufficient, and the blood supply are unreliable and unsafe for transfusion. For serious medical problems, Nigerians are traveling to the United States, Europe, or India for treatment. We are all complicit.
Miriam is talking nonsense. A reasonable government won't think towards seeking an option on what is glaring. If they money is not up to the amount required, they should stay off. 90B can build standard hospitals across the nation.
How is she talking nonsense, you airhead?
Your View ladies are definitely on fire today. I love to watch!
And why is Nima not here today?
Sponsoring religious activities that have not stopped our leaders from corruption is stupidity of the highest order. Tinubu should quickly retrace his step from this insensitive act before he loses the little goodwill he has left.
This government is asking for Cyber security levy while providing subsidy of N90 billion for Hajj. The N90 billion is not going to help our economy now.
If people cannot fund their trips for Hajj they should stay at home and save towards.
At this time, Nigeria has too many issues and it is the wrong time to spend the sum of N90 billion on Hajj.
Government should stop subsidy for religious pilgrimage in Nigeria now and always.
Damn it. God bless you ladies.
We stopped Anchor Borrower Program and yet fund a travel. Na wa
I love Mariam, she's talking sense.
Morayo! Morayo!! Morayo!!! What are you arguing on nonsense? Your President stop fuel subsidy without considering the hardship it will bring on the people but can waste 90B to subsidize fun fare and religious trip. We are joking about this RENEWED HOPE. Do you know what 90B will do in the power sector or provision of public water in rural areas.
Dem no greee for morayo’s POV today. 😂
A misplaced priority
These is what we told people about the Muslim Muslim ticket
Empty Heads with no direction
We knew these from unset
It was also avoidable
Bee Cee and Tope, FIRE ON!
Nigerians are saying no to this wastage😢 . No light, most schools are dilapidated, food is so expensive because of insecurity etc. This is not acceptable at all!
Tope!
Please tread carefully as advised by Morayo
This is religious topic, and those people had paid previously at an amount instructed by the government, so do you now blame those people for the current exchange rate. It is the government that is responsible for policies so they should bear the consequences of the exchange rate and the the intended Prigrims
I can't believe Morayo is making the sort of argument in this issue.
It is just sad that we better the economy of other nations while ours rottens. What a pity!
what is Morayo even saying about people having their own peculiar needs, can u say it is people's choice to also build on flood areas and den Gov Sanwoolu should have left those buildings.. This Morayo don make politic make her dey sound very lame
Obasanjo did pay subsidy for hajj pilgrimage
At the end of the day, it boils down to... we're lost, chained, indoctrinated, brainwashed, and foolish. All dis tory boils down to these.
This is ridiculous ridiculous ridiculous.
Please is haji an economic project
Nigeria is a scam
90billion? Government wey no go direction. Government wey no get conscience. Government wey no get sense. Na rigimo,na yęyę government we dey o.
This pilgrimage thing no be today o..... .we will talk from now till kingdom come, they will never hear you. Did we not complain about new vehicles for senators? Has that halted the plan. Just leave this politicians, their evil days are near
previous administrations of Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and President Muhammadu Buhari approved certain fixed exchange rates for Nigerian pilgrims, a privilege that has been extended to other areas of intervention by the Governments.
The fact that past presidents did it does not make it right, especially now. Why subsidise religion of all things when people are starving, health care facilities have collapsed, minimum wage can't buy a bag of rice. We are borrowing, looking for money left, right and centre and we are subsidising religion! It is so so wrong pls
Paul Kagame is a transformational leader.
HMMMMM... THIS GOVERNMENT IS TRULY CLUELESS....
Religious issues are sensitive, what is black to someone, can be white to another person. It would have been better, if there is a Muslim among the panelist, to have a broad perspective on this issue,
❤❤❤❤
In the middle of the war, who went to Jerusalem, this year?
While I love what Kagame is doing, it may not end well though. Leaders should be able to raise other leaders and create systems that works to a large extent.
Morayo I love you today my beautiful women thank you ❤❤
Why are you ladies so afraid to mention mosques and Quora but quick to mention church and bible when talking about religion?
Because that's the only place they have knowledge of
The government should stay out if financing religion in any shape or form. Religion is an individual thing. The government should stay out of it.
Can any one help
is the N90 billion a concessionary exchange rate or paid subsidy. The news report seems unclear and confusing of sort.
Is it similar to the privilege such as exchange rate for education abroad and medical needs, that has been extended to other areas of intervention by the government?
It should be illegal for the federal government to spend money on something that's not appropriated in the budget?
Emphasis on concessionary exchange rate
Do Nigerians understand what concessionary exchange rate means ?
Even if thevpilgrims are truly religious and if they have conscience, they should reject the money(help)
I pitty this Country Alway doing things oposite ways
People are very funny, in as much we are still voting in Nigeria and northern vote still determine the president, that'll continue, is it good no, should continue no but if you want to win elections you must do it, that's the fact,
People will do anything for power any where in the world.
Sad reality.
Governance is about the provision of security and welfare. Is this welfare?
You're getting wrong and you guys are not talking the main cause, i said in my previous comment, in as much we are still conducting elections in Nigeria and northerns vote still determined the winner they'll do anything for power,
My advice and what we should advocate for is changing of constitution, where each region will have their representative,
That's the onky way to avoid such things like this,
If you guys talk till now till tomorrow nothing will change.
When we're jobless we love to pray a lot Dubai is a Muslim nation the are educated, economically developed, we're wicked in Nigeria.
Hajj operations is an offshore exercise where services are paid for in foreign currency, the US dollars. The mode of payment for hajj fare takes longer usually within six - seven months. Due to the fragile nature of our economy and the exchange rates, especially naira to dollar, forex rates hardly stay within range through the period of pilgrims’ registrations. So, what the hajj industry requested is for the federal government to approve a concessionary exchange rate for this year’s hajj, the reason being that the dollars keep fluctuating against the naira every day.
The same fluctuation in FX rate affects manufacturers, business men, even the things we buy every day, students studying abroad. Does the government subsidise these?
I don't know what they subsidize because initially they said 4.9M for Hajj later they added 400k, they added 2M with other small expenses making it 7M we paid for Hajj, 90B to subsidize Hajj ? May is another way to embezzle
Subsidy was removed from fuel and millions of people are in serious agony because we were told the money will be used to better our lives. Alas we are diverting the money to religious exercise involving just few people.
What has going to Hajj or Jerusalem done to us? We are unrighteous still, unloving still, selfish still.
Nigeria is indeed a scam
Bola Tinubu the president, didn't decide to do this hajj subsidy.
Nigerians House of Representatives did. They appealed to the president to intervene in the matter of 2024 intending pilgrims before he made the move
The facts behind the story (fact is objective not my sentiments or subjective opposition to it which is vehement)
the newspapers deliberately take advantage of people’s malaise by reading full stories with such a screaming headline about the federal government approving N90 billion to Nigerian Muslim pilgrims for Hajj.
Before the Hajj, the federal government had approved a specific exchange rate of N to a dollar for Nigerian pilgrims. The Hajj fare including the air ticket was then computed based on the approved exchange rate. When it was time for payment of airfare to airliners, the exchange rate rose to N to a dollar after the government floated the forex.
The question is this: who is to settle the airliner’s differences because the Hajj pilgrims had paid their Hajj fare based on a government-approved exchange rate?
Is the said N90 billion not the differential between the approved dollar rate then and the current dollar rates?
Should Nigerians not direct their objective opprobrium on this particular N90 billion subsidy to the House of Representatives that pushed for it.
Can any president unilaterally reject such demands passed by the supposed people's Representatives?
God can't no do what we can do for ourselves, you guys voted the man with no idea knows fully well his criminal act, shame on you all, all of you will prayer and tire 😅😅
It's funny that you ladies sit around and argue/judge over Nigerian unqualified appointees and incompetent decisions every week.
ALL of you are way better (fluent, analytical, and emotionally stable) than Morayo, but she's made the head moderator.
How and why? Shame...the Nigerian factor
She’s the boss! It’s her show!!🤣
@estheraleghe3301 Only incompetent support open incompetence. Ride on with your Morayo Boss, just like Nigerians riding with their incapable politicians, judiciary, and executives. And can't endure the collapse of the failed system that empowered incompetent over highly skill individuals and japing to be caregivers and minal job hustlers for the slave-masters.
@@commentthin please take care of your
mental health, your ranting speaks volume!!
You don’t know how this leadership works,morayo is always staying neutral,allowing other ladies to say their views on issues,you don’t expect a leader to pass judgement just like that,she knows what she is always doing even though deep down she knows the truth.I think she is a good leader
She's meant to moderate,playing the devil's advocate not necessarily saying her opinions or views on issues.That is how it works.
