Nigeria Nigerian Hajj Pilgrims Express Discontent Over Substandard Meals Despite High Costs

Nigerian pilgrims in Saudi Arabia express dissatisfaction over meal quality despite paying over N8 million for Hajj. Social media reactions range from sympathy to criticism, questioning government spending on religious pilgrimages.

Nigerian pilgrims currently in Saudi Arabia for Hajj are expressing dissatisfaction over the quality of meals provided, despite each paying over N8 million for the pilgrimage. While some social media users criticized the pilgrims for their complaints, others questioned the allocation of funds, citing the government's reported addition of N90 billion to support the Hajj.

Some users advised the pilgrims to manage the food provided, emphasizing the spiritual significance of the pilgrimage. However, many expressed amusement and sarcasm, highlighting the irony of being able to afford the pilgrimage but allegedly unable to afford meals.

Criticism extended to the broader issue of government spending on religious pilgrimages, with some suggesting that such funds could be better allocated to address pressing national issues.
