  • Kwame USA 10 years ago

    Going on a personal religious pilgrimage should never be the duty of the government to get you there and back

    DID THESE GUYS PURCHASE A ROUND TICKET TO MECCA? THIS SHOULD NOT BE A GOVERNMENT PROBLEM AT ALL. STOP THESE NONSENSE ALREADY

  • baga 10 years ago

    They did, each one paid over $3500.00, Please don't think its free the only thing government does is to organize and arrange the fights.

  • Ghana Biya 10 years ago

    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.

    Please explain. How does stampede impede their return. Where are their return tickets. Did the tickets get lost in the stampede????

  • Ghana Biya 10 years ago

    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?

  • Nii Anyetei Blofobii 10 years ago

    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.
