Redefine your thinking about who is an infidel and what do with them. Divisions are not a thing of Ghanaians but since you mention Christian, I would want to inform you that christians are commanded by their God to love their neighbors as themselves. Your neighbor here can be someone who does not share the same faith with you and you are commanded to love and not to see him/her as an enemy. If I classify you as someone good for the galore, how can I talk or share God's love with you. Peace my brother, no instigation of hate.

Hypocrite, don't pretend to be a Muslim or speak for Muslims. All you are trying to do is to convey the misinformation that government subsidizes the Hajj, but that's not the case. Hajj pilgrims don't need financial assistance from the government and have not been receiving any. Government's role is to facilitate the Hajj as part of its consular obligations. The fee that the pilgrims pay is inclusive of air fare, local transportation, accommodation and meals. Don't misinform.

This is a way of making money because everything they give you is paid for in gh15,000,00,I performed hajj last year 2016,I don't know what took place in the previous years but people who knew said few things has changed.we bought our own food whiles in Madina and in Makker,the only time we were fed was in Mina & Arafat.Whats more important to pilgrims is that,the hotel they rent should be closer to Haram (Kaba) so that people can worship regularly,pilgrims staying far from the Holy Kaba pay more transportation to go pray.Dont allow the hajj organizers to introduce anything new,they should rather improve on what exist,example other nations were able to transport their pilgrims from mozalifa to jamarat except Ghana and Senegal,the old men and women find it very difficult to make this journey on foot,the chairman of hajj boad trust me can not walk from muzalifa to jamarat so he should address that and stop creating avenues to increase the hajj fare.Last year when the dollar was so high,we paid $3000,00 only bringing the total to Gh12,000,00,so what has changed that pilgrims ve to pay $ 3,450,00?npp watch I.C Quare that man is not honest,may Allah forgive me but that's exactly what he is,he lies while holding the Quran.

6200 people by 3450usd is 21,390,000usd excluding personal pocket money by the 62000 people.

After that we will come back to Ghana, the country that allah did not make holy , to sleep in mosquitoes invaded smelly congested muddy thatchy rooms with filthy gutters staring at us not mentioning the inability to feed and educate kids so they don't push trucks and rob people at night!

bamumiah will also be begging the chinese for money to do one district one factory when he had endorsed over 25 million dollars to the arabs for free because they told him if he doesnt believe in mohammadu, pray 5x daily to the sun and moon and come to mecca to spend his life time savings he would be burnt in perpetual fire and he is afraid of that. a slave spends all his life doing things that his masters tell him to do. i know this will anger people but again thats how slaves behave, they fight for their slave masters.

The government is only trying to play politics with the Hajj Board being complicit. Let Sheikh Quaye tell us where the so-called free food is coming from -- from the Saudi government or from the government of Ghana? By making this kind of pronouncement, Sheikh Quaye if feeding the misconception that government of Ghana sponsors and pay for the Hajj for Ghanaian Muslims. The truth is that the pilgrims don’t need freebies and have not been receiving any from government. Government’s role has not been financial but facilitative in the provision of the necessary consular services, and that’s how it should remain. The approximately $3,500 fee that the pilgrims pay covers air fare, local transportation, accommodation and food. Keep your politics away from the Hajj!
