Do you expect kenyans to promote their problems and dirty sides the way nigerians do.Of course if I go to a place,I will ask to be taken to the nice areas.But now that I have heard so much about the Nairobi slums,I might just take a look if I visit kenya.

Jay254:

Slum tourism is abig biz in kenya.. some of the most famous ppl have visited Kibera such as Oprah, Madonna.. we never hide kibera to any one... NGO's are making akilling with it by sourcing money from around the world... For years everyone knew kibera had apopulation of 1.5m ppl untill census was done and the figure went to 171,000 thousand ppl.

obaaderemi:
That's inhumane.Are you saying the slum dwellers are ignored by the Kenyan government for the sake of tourism so that westerners can come and gawk at them and take pictures of the hapless beings?177,000 is still a lot.that's a town.Anyway,African leaders don't really care.

Wow what a lovely water fall there, Nigeria is indeed greatly blessed, you can contribute your own quota by opening a thread about this place, I've never heard of it before and I might take a trip down there if I know more about the place, thanks

seuncyrus:


Yes oh , Nigeria is really blessed ...The place is in Wamba Local government in Nasarawa state .We visited the place during my youth service, we heard the place used to be a tourist attraction a long time ago... we even saw seats that were all covered in bushes...To get to the waterfall..we had to trek for about 1hour30 mins, crossed 3 rivers all on foot as there was no road leading to the place.

If you want to go there It'll be better if you go in group...It'll be more fun that way

iyke926:

Egbon, na gross mistake wey I make. Thanks

PissedYagami:

odinga1of:

NairobiWalker:


LightYagami wewe sii msapere?

Naah mate, never been one

BedLam:
Evisa is 50 dollars and you just have to go to ecitizen.co.ke and follow the process. But immigration had to collect 50 dollars at the airport just because...corruption. Police collected 14$ from me as well and both of them threatened to send me back.

maxti:
.
Strange. i didnt pay any fee at the POE. I presented my Evisa n hotel reservation.
I was sent to a waiting room for refusing to pay another $50. The officer had to allow me when i answered all questions "authoritatively".
Since then, i am considering paying the $50 at the POE and not using evisa. Though, i dont know hoe that would play out.

Divine88:

Did you have to get a yellow fever card before u traveled?
I may likely face this scenario when I get to Nairobi later this month, cos I don't like paying extra after paying for my evisa online.

maxti:


Yes i did. Very Vital.

Divine88:

Alright, thanks.
Where can I get it please? I heard u can get it at the port health office. Please is that true? And how much is it?

Divine88:

BedLam:
Yes.

maxti:
.
Its Available at the Airport. I think for as low as one thousand Naira. I got mine from the health centre in the state i reside. Through the Department of Public health. I also made sure i got the necessary Vaccinations as required.

Divine88:

Thanks for this bro.
Did you also have to show funds upto $400 at the point of entry? cos I read somewhere a visitor has to. Not sure if that's true.

I am familiar with your arguments from the religion threads. On this thread you've been so passionate, so relentless and irrepressible in your devotion to promoting Nigeria, it's almost fanatical and I commend you for that. It's really a good quality. However do not let your passion becloud you from seeing certain realities which some of our compatriots have tried to call your attention to. While we cannot continue complaining the truth is that alot rest with the government. For God sake that's why they are there. Nationally things like power supply, infrastructure and public utilities is the function of the Government world over.

You appear to me to be a bit old fashioned in your outlook (no derision meant, cos I am a bit that way too) so let me use this analogy. Traditionally a father has certain roles which he must play essentially relating to provision of food, security and guidance of the children. A man who doesn't do this things is setting his family up for failure. To relegate such duty to the wife is to put her under immense and undue pressure. So it is with Government too.

So on the whole we have a beautiful, well endowed country, rich in human and natural resources even more so than Kenya but the difference is Government. Kenya no doubt has gotten it right and their tourism is booming. The burden rest on our Government to do same.


As a citizen with your passion, I know you don't mind painting billboards in the sky to announce our tourism industry to the world, or carrying out lavish campaigns sensitising citizens to be warm, friendly and accommodating of visitors and tourists but there's a limit to how far you can you can go, there's a limit to how far citizens in general can go. You can only do so much. Will you, or citizens provide good roads from the airport too and throughout the city and rural areas, constant power supply in the city and rural areas, security throughout the nation, transport, infrastructural and public utilities to make tourism in Nigeria an unforgettable experience? I don't think so. The Government just has to do that.

Once again I love your passion, I really do. Nigeria needs more crazy people like you, stubborn ones too who are fearless and undaunted in their convictions about the implicit greatness of this country, so blessed but tragically pressed down by the knaves called politicians. Don't lose your passion, keep it simmering. Cheers

Though i was asked, i told them i have enough. i didnt have to show. besides, i had my mastercard. All these were asked cos i was sent to an inner office for refusing to pay extra $50.

Divine88:

Arrived Nairobi this morning. O dear o dear, the level of extortion within the airport is alarming. I won't generalize tho, cos someone else may likely not experience what I experienced.
Right from the port health to immigration to police, anyways I didn't drop a penny. Crack jokes et al to make them feel relax. I know I was in for a journey when I checked in on rwandair, the guy at the Lagos desk are crazy. After I told them I don't like carrying cash, as I have a dollar dominated MasterCard, they insist I still show them physical money�.
Anyways I need to get some needed rest.
