Muslims can never be stranded in their owe Holy Land. They are happy living and staying till God gives them and direct them.
The government is feeding and housing them. They have the time to see all that they couldn't because the people were so many.
Let us see it as a blessing and ask them to pray for Ghana while stiil close to the Holy Places.

Why should the government arrange the flight? This is a private matter.

The leaders are corrupt and pretend to be doing the work of God. God is watching them. Shame on them.

Their return flight is being funded by your poor Ghanaian govt. coffers. We shd. stop doing stupid things in the name of Allah.

A technical problem that is from the Saudi air line ( NAS AIR) and which included about 29 African countries like Burkiba, Senegal, Mali etc cannot be attributed to either the government or the hajj committee. We only have to say thanks to the committee for doing a great job to see the pilgrims return safely. Ye kasa ghana fou.

This is an honest question to ask the Hajj Committee. Did the tickets got lost in the stampede?

This is a bunch of crooks pretending to do the work of God. How can the same problem repeat itself every year?

These fools travel all that length just to three stones at another wall of stone to "chase away the devil." They could have done that at Yendi.I or any place else.

you only reported what happened at Saudi Arabia during the hajj programs but failed to elaborate on y your caption.when would you people stop painting Islam black? I don't blame you but the hajj board who want to be praised for doing nothing,you could not send all your passengers and the few that were lucky too can't be conveyed back. thank you for shoddy work.

May the Allah keep the lost soul in His boosom.However, the bad omen befalled on Hajj pilgrims as a results of hard lucks fellowing the President of Ghana. This is a joke, the moment, l saw the President bidding pilgrims farewell, l knew it was going to disaster. Next time, the President should appoint some of his ministers to do such movements and stop the eye service. long live Ghana.

Why is it that every year pilgrims find themselves in this dilema? Where did they purchase their air tickets? Was it a one-way ticket or round trip. After organising this pilgrimage for several years, they still have these problems. Why should government step in every year to solve their problem? How much does the government make when this pilgrimage takes place?

YOU ARE RIGHT, PEOPLE WANT TO PROFIT FROM THE HAJJ ARRANGEMENTS. THE LEADERS ORGANIZING IT ARE CORRUPT.

IT HAPPENS THIS WAY EVERY YEAR UNDER EVERY GOVERNMENT. SHAME ON THEM.
