The Independent Hajj Reporters (IHR) has concluded arrangements for its annual lecture and awards series for Hajj 2022 on September 22.

The Civil Society Organisation (CSO), whose membership consists of practicing journalists covering Hajj and Umrah activities in Nigeria and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, says this year’s event will take place at the auditorium of the National Mosque, Abuja, from 10 in the morning.

A statement by the National Coordinator of IHR, Malam Ibrahim Mohammed, issued on Thursday in Abuja said the Governor of Kano State, His Excellency, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, will be the Special Guest of Honour.

It also said their Excellencies, Governors Abdullahi A. Sule of Nasarawa State and Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina State as well as the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Pilgrimage, Hon. Abubakar Nalaraba, would serve as Special Guests of Honour.

The statement added that the former Director General of the Voice Of Nigeria (VON), Alhaji Ibrahim Bobboi Jijiwa, Sardaunan Ribadu, will be the Chairman of the occasion. It also said the Chairman of the National Hajj commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Alhaji Zikirullah Kunle Hassan, is the Chief Host of the event.

“This year’s lecture will be presented by Distinguished Senator Bala Ibn Na’Allah, Chairman Senate Committee on Air Force and Vice Chairman Senate Committee on Aviation.

Senator Na’Allah will speak on “NAHCON Act 2016 and its implementation in the country,” the statement said.

It added that “the annual event is holding after a two year hiatus occasioned by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic”.

Highlight of the event will be the presentation of awards to service providers and regulators “who despite the challenges and failures of Hajj 2022 did their best and served the pilgrims of Ar-Rahman diligently and with the fear of God”.

  335. The cosmos is said to be an ordered place, ruled by laws and principles, yet within that order exists chaos, unpredictability, and the unexpected. Perhaps true balance is not about eliminating chaos but embracing it, learning to see the beauty in disorder, the harmony within the unpredictable. Maybe to truly understand the universe, we must stop trying to control it and simply become one with its rhythm.

  336. Friendship, some say, is a single soul residing in two bodies, but why limit it to two? What if friendship is more like a great, endless web, where each connection strengthens the whole? Maybe we are not separate beings at all, but parts of one vast consciousness, reaching out through the illusion of individuality to recognize itself in another.

  337. Man is said to seek happiness above all else, but what if true happiness comes only when we stop searching for it? It is like trying to catch the wind with our hands—the harder we try, the more it slips through our fingers. Perhaps happiness is not a destination but a state of allowing, of surrendering to the present and realizing that we already have everything we need.

  339. Even the gods, if they exist, must laugh from time to time. Perhaps what we call tragedy is merely comedy from a higher perspective, a joke we are too caught up in to understand. Maybe the wisest among us are not the ones who take life the most seriously, but those who can laugh at its absurdity and find joy even in the darkest moments.

  351. The essence of existence is like smoke, always shifting, always changing, yet somehow always present. It moves with the wind of thought, expanding and contracting, never quite settling but never truly disappearing. Perhaps to exist is simply to flow, to let oneself be carried by the great current of being without resistance.
