Nigerians have a unique character. The elites and political class do not want to share any space with the average Nigerian. This is why they do not value anything in Nigeria no matter how good it is. The set of people who can afford to patronize these places will always prefer to go abroad and snap their pictures, put it on Instagram and bloggers will blog with caption "XYZ spotted in London", "XYZ holidaying in Atlanta" etc They are happy because the common man cannot go to London and Atlanta.

Imagine if the elites and political class patronize these places and help popularize it, "XYZ spotted in Obudu Mountain Resort", Instead of Buhari going to London for vacation as he used to, the caption will be "Buhari vacations at Obudu Mountain Resort". The average people will start getting attracted and seeing value in these places. At least they can save and vacation there even if it is for one night. The knowledge that Nigerian big boys and girls also vacation there will bring in a lot of the ordinary people which will make it boom. But unfortunately, the Nigerian elites will never go to places where there are possibilities of sharing spaces with the ordinary Nigerians. In Nigeria, class is everything.

Carry this exact Obudu Mountain Resort and put it in say Europe or America, you will how Nigerians will start going there and snapping pictures for people in Nigeria to see and salivate.

The super highway is great if only it will not disrupt the wildlife and nature , But I just think Cross River does not have the funds to accomplish a lot since they lost the oil wells to Akwa ibom ,but the Governor is trying his best .

I was at Obudu Mountain Resort recently and had a good time. I saw some foreign people there too. The place still looks very beautiful like Europe despite low domestic patronage . Maybe they need good managers and marketing team, and a good road network connection.
I've come to realize that average Nigerians just don' have the spending power ,and that's why most businesses like Resorts and shopping centers don't thrive too well .

A business thrives when local and foreign consumers combine, It won't thrive if it's only patronized by foreign. Even rich Nigerians prefer to vacation abroad. The Nigerian spending power is too low and needs to be boosted before such places can thrive.

The idea of resorts and national parks like Tinapa, Obudu Mountain resort, Cross river National park, etc. are great, if not for the low spending power of average Nigerian.
For now, it's just a shame.

Obudu Cattle Ranch is a great place. Every part of the ranch is unique and I have been unable to get a replica in Nigeria. I vividly remember the walk on the hills in which I could touch the clouds. The rolling bridge with across the valley, the waterfalls...its such a nice experience. I visited the ranch in 2012. Then insecurity was not what it is now. Back then it was pricey. A plate of food then for couple was N5000.....I was like wow....that was just oats and plantain.
After lunch, I rushed down to the village below to buy a stove, yam, bread and condiments for less than N5000. The rooms are very big and airy. You do not need an air conditioner. In fact, I had to light the fire place to warm the room.
Its a great place to go. The 3 days I stayed cost me N120,000 for lodging alone in 2012. I hired a 2 bedroom bungalow. The food for was N5000 for 2 after which I started cooking myself. I think the management need to work on the publicity/marketing. Also the resort needs to be pocket friendly and the state Government partner with a local airline to restore flights back to the airstrip.
The ranch is a major revenue earner if managed properly.
