Nigerian female pilgrims in detention now 1000
About 1000 female Nigerian pilgrims are still detained by Saudi authorities even as the two countries are still involved in “high level diplomatic talks” to resolve the impasse, Daily Trust learnt last night.
However, high level sources hinted last night that the federal government is trying to sort out the issue through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, even as the House of Representatives resolved yesterday to probe the issue.
“A letter signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs has already been delivered to the Saudi authorities over the issue. We don’t know whether they will accept it,” the source who is involved with the issue told Daily Trust last night.
Investigations revealed that apart from the initial 400 pilgrims who arrived at the holy land on board flight 17 last Sunday, 600 additional female pilgrims on flights 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22, from Katsina, Kano and Zamfara states were also detained at the airport on arrival.
The female pilgrims were detained on arrival when they couldn’t produce individual maharram, that is, the approved male companion accompanying them on the trip, usually a husband, father or brother, demanded by the Saudis.
But the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON)’s Commissioner of Operations, Alhaji Muhammad Abdullahi Mukhtar told our reporter yesterday that the it is not true that the pilgrims couldn’t produce muharram. He said the State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Boards (SMPWB) “qualify and identify as muharram of female pilgrims. And that has been the case for so many decades.”
He said that the situation is so confusing that “the Saudis randomly select flights to screen and detain.”
“All the 10 flights that landed in Medina were allowed into the country without any incidence. Also, flights 23, 24 and 25 were not touched at all,” he said.
Mukhtar wondered why only Nigerian pilgrims were selected for this treatment by the Saudi authorities. “In fact, there is no such issue in the memorandum of understanding signed between Nigeria and Saudi Arabia,” he said.

Lady Gaga Puts Bulimia and Body Image On the Table In A Big Way
Yesterday Lady Gaga did something more culture-challenging than sashaying around town in wigs, costumes and towering platforms: she posted pictures of herself – sans makeup, sans platinum tresses – in her underwear online.
It was a “take that!” message to the beauty-bullying pop culture media that had mocked and criticized her for gaining 25 pounds. But the initial gesture was surprisingly simple and subtle – she posted the photos under the caption “Bulimia and Anorexia since I was 15.”

Love Story
It was their anniversary,
and Maryam was waiting for her husband Bilal to show up. Things had changed since their marriage, the once cute, Couldn’t-live without-each-other couple had turned bitter…
Fighting over every little thing, both didn’t like the way things had changed. Maryam was waiting to see if Bilal remembered it was their anniversary! Just as the door bell rang she ran to find her husband, wet and smiling with a bunch of flowers in his hand. The two started reliving the old days. Making up for fights, there was then plans for dinner, a walk on the beach and much more. And rain outside! It was just perfect.
