Hahahaaaaa. Cheap things cost. Nana could have even made you go to Makkah at GHC40,000, but you would have been housed 10 kms away from Haram and you would be 50 adults in a room without air-conditioning. You see, hmmmmm.

Ghanaians Why,!! we have taken our silly dirty politics to the Saudi Arabia again. And this complaints are coming from only the pilgrims from Tamale and nowhere else in Ghana, same attitude of "pull him down" we are known for which destroys the goodwill of others. Tamale people Why.!! Are Tamale people the only Muslims we have in Ghana, there are many more dedicated Muslims cut across Ghana than we have in Tamale and they should let Ghanaians hear their side of the story so Ghanaians can measure the hypocrisy of Tamale pilgrims.

It's very sad when people judge others without listening to their side of the story . Is it true they are suffering? Is it a crime to complain when things aren't going well? Must we read politics in every thing that happens? What is pull-him-down about this? It's really shocking for people to put politics before everything else. SubhanAllah May Allah clean our hearts of this disease called politics

Africa when will we get sense and know that there is no land anywhere holier than Africa. Africa the birthplace of the human race. Africa, the birthplace of civilization. Now African minds have been conquered by foreign religion. Our people using their little money to travel outside in search of holy lands. The biggest scam in history.

NPP members want to poopoo this act of kindness from president Mahama for reducing hajj fare, and making Tamale available for same. NPP shine your eyes because you will be in opposition for 32 years or more.

The place where the Haj pilgrims are accommodated is the same place they have always been accommodated over the past years. It is a bit far from the Haram, but that is what has always been for our pilgrims. No change from the past. Accommodation has always been 5 to 8 per room at all times. It is not different from what it has always been. The lifts have always been the same. The only thing I have a problem with is the issue of the air condition. All the rooms should be having air conditions that work because of the heat. The Task Froce should have insisted that air conditions should be working. Apart from that, all the things they are talking about are normal for the haj, especially with regards to Ghanaian pilgrims over the years. There must be some mischief or ignorance about the post by those complaining.

President Mahama genuinely wanted to make things easy for these pilgrims by constituting the hajj board and these organizers have brought shame upon the President. President Mahama should look into the complaints by the Pilgrims and investigate the board members who organized the Hajj and prosecute them if there has been any foul play.
