See how the Rankings were made.

Nigeria needs to do a lot.

Euromonitor International’s report drills down into the detail of the figures to highlight why some cities are performing better than others and how emerging trends are going to re-shape the travel industry and disrupt the ranking up to 2025.

Some of the key emerging travel trends identified by the report are:

Asia – Cashless Asia
Cities as Digital Investments

To ensure continued arrivals growth and sustainable expansion, Asia cities are streaming ahead with initiatives to become smart cities. A big step towards as “smarter” society and economy is the growth of digital payment facilities. Cryptocurrencies are here to stay. The impact on the travel industry could be immense, not only in the way people travel, but also by simplifying smart contracts.

Europe – Angels and EU-nicorns
Cities as a Start-Up

While overcrowding represents a key issue in many European cities, there is a growing drive amongst start-ups in Europe to address other pain points in travel. Some of the largest start-ups in travel originate from the US. However, the US is increasingly competing with European hubs for start-up talents and investment.

UK – Rail Revolution
Cities as connectors
Over half of the international travelers coming to the UK visit London. There is a major gap between London and the second city, Edinburgh, which has less than 10% of London’s arrivals. Making the rest of the UK more accessible is an important focus of the UK’s strategy with rail a key focus to achieve a better connectivity and movement of international visitors.
Americas – Recognize that face?
Cities as hubs of innovation
As part of his policy to tighten border control, US President Donald Trump has ordered increased speed in implementing biometric scanners at airports. The travel industry is not only looking at the face to merely identify a traveler, but also to tell travel players what it wants, through speech and emotion. Voice is widely lauded as the latest frontier, which would have big implications for travel.
MEA – Looking beyond borders
Cities as entry points
Performance in the Middle East and Africa has fluctuated greatly due to unrest in many countries. However, 2017 is expected to be a good year across the board. Dubai seems insulated from all the turmoil that is going on around it. The city’s tourism industry is booking and is adopting new technologies at rapid pace. Johannesburg is the only Sub-Saharan Africa city in the ranking. However, tourism is considered a pillar of its economic growth strategy and the city is investing heavily in technology.
Travel › 100 Most Visited Cities In The World In 2017. See Where Nigeria Was Ranked. by davodyguy(op):
Euromonitor International has been publishing the list of Top cities/ destinations to visit around the world over the last couple of years. The Year 2017 was not left out.

I was curious to see how Lagos, Abuja and Say PH ranked in 2017.
Seun, Lalasticlala, Mynd44 and Mukina2, this would interest you guys and be a travel guide for year 2018.

The 2017 annual Top City Destinations Ranking, covered 100 of the world’s leading cities in terms of international tourist arrivals.

Destinations Ranking 2017 Edition was unveiled at World Travel Market (WTM) London, in November, 2017

The top ten most visited cities in the world are:
1.Hong Kong: 26.6 million visitors
2.Bangkok: 21.2 million visitors
3.London: 19.2 million visitors
4.Singapore: 16.6 million visitors
5.Macau: 15.4 million visitors
6.Dubai: 14.9 million visitors
7.Paris: 14.4 million visitors
8.New York: 12.7 million visitors
9.Shenzhen: 12.6 million visitors
Kuala Lumpur: 12.3 million visitors
According to Euromonitor’s data, the number of tourists visiting Dubai has jumped by 11.2 per cent, from 14.9 million in 2016 to more than 16.5 million in 2017, making it a far more popular destination of choice for travellers compared to most cities on earth.
Other key takeaways of the new ranking

Dubai is by far the largest and fastest-growing destination in the Middle East and Africa, but Saudi Arabia has three cities in the top ranking.
"The hajj is a major draw for arrivals to the country, but the kingdom is looking to ensure it is not just Mecca that benefits," Euromonitor said. "While Dubai is booming, many cities are dealing with turmoil."
I was thinking Mecca in Saudi Arabia would beat Dubia, but my thinking was wrong

See The top ten most visited Middle East and African cities

1. Dubai
2.​Mecca
3.Johannesburg
4.Riyadh
5.Dammam City
6.Cairo
7.Doha
8.Jerusalem

Are you just knowing?

Nonsense people.

I've been to couple of countries and each time i wanted to follow things back home, i traveled with my IPTV box. I always streamed and watched Channels Tv. if you see stability of internet in countries Like South Africa, Ethiopia, Hongkong, UAE and Australia, you she tears for Nigeria.

I would never forget when I was in Sydney in Spetember, 2017. I actually watched Cameroun vs Nigeria Wc qualifier via IPTV. The game ended 1-1. It was super stable.

Last December, I was in UAE during the Calabar festival. It was aired Live on Channels TV. I watched it throughout and a very stable network.

Back home to Nigeria. Just yesterday Sunday, I streamed Liverpool vs Man city as shown on NBC Sport, I knew the number of times, I restarted my device when the internet got stuck.

We need to grow up in this country.

Internet is expensive, yet sucks so badly embarassed embarassed angry angry angry sad sad

Fixing the popular Rattle cold start noise in 8th Gen Accord O8-12

Symptoms
At cold start, you hear this loud spark 'PA'
Thereafter, the car drives smoothly and no issue.

Overtime driving of the car like that may damage the engine. With the weak naira, engine now sells for 35Ok.

Fixes from personal experience.

1. As they do in oyingbo, if you don't want to replace the culprit, they fix it for you. How? They work on the camshaft VTC actuator and the noise disappear.

But they'll leave your car with POO11 timing over advanced.

To clear this code POO11, you'll need to change the VTC actuator and possibly the timing chain.

2. It's just look for the money, replace the VTC actuator immediately. Just be careful cos some VTC actuator may have been worked on. No one would be willing to remove Camshaft VTC actuator from Tokunbo engine.

Please spend this money wisely.

20 million is a small amount of money that can be wasted in 5 days (If Oruma can be duped of N1.2Billion)

Yet, that 20 million can be turned to N100,000,000 if well spent in 5 years
Politics › Re: FG Makes N909 Billion From VAT in 2017 by davodyguy: 10:30am On Jan 12, 2018
They made and not 'makes'

It was last fiscal year measured between October 2016 and September 2017

October 2016 and September 2017 FG made 909 billion.

This year January - December, 2018 FG may either make same amount or more than that.

Giving a breakdown of the receipts from VAT, she said while Lagos accounted for 55 per cent of VAT revenue, 20 per cent came from the FCT.
Out of 36 states, one state contributed 55%, then we are left with 45%.

Lets analyze the remaining 45%.

Out of the 45%, 20% was made from Abuja, which is not included in the 36 states.

We are left with 25%.

This means that 35 states including all Niger Delta States contributed a paltry 25%.

I'm sure from the 25%, Ogun state may have contributed 5%, meaning the other 34 states contributed 20%.

Hello guys.

I ha e a 2008 accord that just pulled the following after I was called to scan few minutes ago.

VSA was on
CEL on
Battery 'light' on

I scanned and car pulled the following
P0340 Camshaft Position A sensor circuit
P0141 O2 sensor Bank 1
P0443 evaporative emission system purge control valve
Its 4 cyl engine
Update on this.

It only cost N2000 to fix.

Just learn from what happened, so you know what to do.

The owner drove the car to car wash on Thursday and the engine was washed.
Some parts not properly covered and alternator got penetrated by water.

A fuse in the fuse box was blown.

Fuse replaced and all these
P0340 Camshaft Position A sensor circuit
P0443 evaporative emission system purge control valve
Disappeared.

Left with only P0141 O2 sensor Bank 1

The sensor wire pulled completely and sensor needs to be replaced completely
