The Federation of Tourism Association of Nigeria, FTAN, says that less than three per cent of tourists visiting Africa annually choose Nigeria as their tourism destinations. Karim Rabo, the FTAN president, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Sunday that the figure was low compared to other African countries that usually recorded huge patronage of international tourists. He attributed the low patronage to poor attitudes usually exhibited by Nigerian tour operators and travel agencies. He also said that Nigerian tour operators and travel agencies were more interested in packaging Nigerian tourists wishing to travel abroad rather than packaging international tourists to Nigeria. “Nigerian tour operators and travel agents promote more of outbound tourism than inbound which is not encouraging. “We need to get it right by promoting more of domestic tourism asset/ potential to the outside world than promoting outbound tourism,” he said. Mr. Rabo said that there was a dearth of data about tourism consumptions and market patterns. “Both the federal and state government have no data that show the impact of tourism receipts on Nigeria economy,” he said. He said that FTAN would partner multinational organisations and the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics, NBS, to set up structures that would be collating tourists’ data at all leading tourists’ destinations in Nigeria. Mr. Rabo said that these would enable the government to know the impacts and contributions of tourism sector to the Nigerian economy. The president said that the association was the biggest investor in Nigerian tourism industry. “It has been contributing enormously to Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and employs thousands of Nigerians across the country,” he said. Mr. Rabo said that the association members include: hoteliers; travel agencies, tour operators, tourism academia, travel journalists and cultural artisans |
BBC Africa have asked
other Africans and
people from all around
the globe to say what
comes to their mind
immediately after they
hear about Nigeria.
Naij.com has gone
through thousands of
comments and
emerged with the
overall picture of how
our country is being
perceived in the world.
A lot of Nigerians
commented on how
much they love their
country and are proud of
it. Multiple observers
from foreign countries
also professed their
fondness of Nigeria.
They said its sheer size,
thousands of years of
culture and traditions,
human and national
resources, language
diversity all make Nigeria
a unique country.
Nigerians are described
as warm-hearted, hard-
working, hospitable and
resilient not deterred by
whatever challenges they
are facing, and many
believe it will further
grow and develop.
The overwhelming
majority of non-Nigerian
respondents, however,
shared a very different
view of Nigeria.
To many, recent news of
Nigeria's economy
surpassing that of South
Africa's and becoming the
"leader" on the continent
means absolutely
nothing since average
Nigerians still have to
survive on just a few
dollars a day.
"The first things that
come to my mind
when I hear Nigeria
are fraud, forgery,
fighting and
extremism. I am
sorry, I know there
are nice people in
Nigeria, but that's a
larger picture we
(that live outside
Nigeria) are given by
most Nigerians we
meet, and the
Nigerian news
stories," one
respondent said.
"Most of Nigerians
whom I met have
painted a very bad
picture of their
country, and news
coming out of
Nigeria everyday
sound like the
country is at war,"
added the other.
The opinions below
perfectly reflect the
general view of hundreds
of respondents on the
prospect of Nigeria
emerging as Africa’s
leader :
"You couldn't
possibly pay me
enough to live in
Nigeria. Much of
society there is
verging on evil:
witchcraft, anti-gay
laws, Islamist
insurgency, a large
and constant source
of (Internet) fraud,
obscene wealth next
to mass extreme
poverty. The fact
that it's even a
candidate for
leadership position
says more about the
hopeless state of the
rest than it does
about Nigeria's
leadership qualities."
"Lead Africa? Where
to? Billions upon
billions of dollars
disappear every
month and they still
beg. Their reputation
travels ahead of
them all over the
world. To have that
reputation and be
the most corrupt
nation in Africa is an
incredible
achievement. True
leaders."
"Having done
business in Nigeria
many, many time, I
can say a clear NO.
Corruption is
endemic at all levels.
The security
situation, especially
in the Delta Region,
is very poor. Until
those two matters
are addressed, it will
never prosper."
Some mocked Nigerians
at being notorious for
scamming and
defrauding unsuspecting
foreigners:
"Don't forget the
rule number one:
Whenever you're
with a Nigerian,
never tell them your
email address.
Otherwise 10,000
new mails will pop
in the next day with
the common
message of 'I am the
daughter of the late
chief blah blah who
left his fortune in a
Swiss a/c, please
help me retrieve the
money using your
bank a/c .'"
"Every kind of
phishing, credit, card
and other online
fraud originates in
Nigeria, yet their
government does
nothing to prevent
it. Why should they
when it is lining
their corrupt
pockets? The Army is
underfunded with
obsolete weaponry
and terrible pay.
They are too
demoralized to
tackle Boko Haram. If
the military are not
receiving the money
who is? "Goodwil"
and his corrupt
cronies of, course."
A commentator from
Kenya had this to
say: "I know Nigeria
is battling Boko
Haram, corruption,
bad governance, etc.
Here in Kenya, we
are battling with Al-
Shabaab, corruption,
bad leadership,
endure ethnic
violence, etc. But it's
still ironical how the
two countries are
somehow doing well
economically in
Africa!"
Here's what our
fellow African from
Botswana has to
say: "The first thing
that comes to my
mind is crooks. In
Botswana, security
agents deport them
every day."
"A country full of
fake prophets," one
commenter said.
"Terrorism,
corruption are on
the increase. I wish I
could remove these
countries off the
map of Africa:
Nigeria, Zimbabwe,
Egypt, Somalia,
Kenya, CAR and
Congo D. R."
Many say any African
country would be capable
of "leading" the
continent, citing Nigeria's
ethnic and religious
differences as the main
obstacle to union and
understanding. Leaders
" like Mugabe, Idi Amin,
or Taylor" also drag
Africa down, preventing it
from developing.
The commentators note
that corruption is not
exclusive only to
Nigeria . One observer
says it is a common
picture to see in a former
African colony (he
particularly spoke about
Ghana) when "armed
guards protect luxury
mansions in walled
compounds on top of
hills while further down
the slope you will find
folk lying about on the
ground sleeping under
groundsheets."
Western countries are as
corrupt as African ones,
but they are "better at
covering" their shady
business. Moreover, as
one commentator has
maintained, "All that
money pumped into
Africa has just been a
means to keep it
dependent without
allowing it to grow up.
Eventually, it will start to
wean itself off. To the
rest of the world, a
strong, first-world Africa
is scary. It's been
convenient to keep it
down.
Many have
suggested their own
strategies of
improving the
situation both in
Nigeria and in Africa,
some of which were
quite
straightforward and
radical: "What Africa
needs is a significant
drop in birth rates to
lower the swollen
population, and
probably needs
many countries
boundaries re-
drawing along
ethnic and religious
lines."
This Briton, however,
suggested a much
more peaceful
way: "If I
understand, some of
what you say it
speaks of hatred in
Nigeria/Biafra and
the lunacy of 'tribal'
war. In England,
we've been through
the same and are
now 'matured' into a
more peaceful
community. How?
We realized that
hate was not the
way. It was not easy.
It starts by holding
your neighbour's
hand, inviting them
to your table,
trusting them. As I've
sayid, it will not be
easy but it's the
ONLY way." |
jejemanito:Well there is. Wake him by 2am and talk to him if you want me to tell you what to say pm me. |
I can't believe that this ugly fvck can do such. |
ayourbamie:Am not one of them bro. |
Where is the proof or you want rise my dick. Bahd guy |
- National Assembly has
announced its intention
to reduce the powers of
the federal government
- The lawmakers claim
this is art of the
restructuring Nigerians
have been clamouring
for
- More powers would
be given to the state
governments
The National House of
Assembly has announced
its intention to make big
changes in the 1999
constitution which will
reduce the powers of the
federal government.
NAIJ.com learnt that
Deputy Senate President
Ike Ekweremadu made
this announcement while
speaking to reporters at a
retreat on Saturday, July
15.
Ekweremadu said more
powers will be delegated
to the state governments
after the constitution has
been reviewed.
According to a report by
The Nation, he said: “We
have broken all the issues
into specific bills.
Between yesterday
(Friday) and today
(Saturday) we have
looked at about 23
separate bills with
separate issues.
“The idea is to ensure
that by the time we vote,
each of them succeeds or
fails on its own. When we
conclude the work, we’ll
send it to the house to
approve.

“We will collate and
ensure that the
provisions of the
constitution have been
fulfilled regarding the
alteration, and we will
send it to the president
for his assent. And the
president will decide
which one to assent to or
not to assent to.
“The implication
therefore is that if he
assents to some, then
those one become part of
the constitution. And the
one he refuses to assent
to, then we might decide
whether to override the
veto.
“So, we want each of
them to have a separate
life of its own. And this is
based on our own
experience in the last
exercise where
everything was in one
single bill and when the
president withheld his
assent, all of them
collapsed.
“This is just an
improvement on what
we did last time. It is
something we innovated
based on our experience
in the last exercise.”
Ekweremadu said the
Constitution review
committee also
considered the time
frame within which the
president or state
governor has to assent to
a bill and the issue of
restructuring.

He said: “You know we
have been talking about
the restructuring of
Nigeria. One of the
components of
restructuring is that they
are saying that there is
too much power in the
hands of the federal
government and we need
to strip some of them
from the federal
government.
“What we have done is to
look at the issue. Some
items will be removed
from the exclusive list to
the concurrent list where
the federal and the states
can make laws regarding
some of those items.
“And where there is a
conflict, the laws of the
National Assembly will
prevail.
“So, things like railways
will have to be moved to
the concurrent list. The
idea is that states can
build railways within
their territory and then a
couple of states can even
decide to build railways
across their states.
“The federal government
can also build railways
across the country and
make policy around it.”
There will continue to be
a minimum wage
applicable to the public
and private sectors.
“There should be
minimum wage for both
the public sector and
private sector, that is to
say, that if it is N5000
don’t pay any person less
than N5000 but can be
increased
“If Lagos has more
money, it can pay beyond
the minimum wage. All
those who don’t have
money cannot pay below
the minimum way no
matter how poor they
are.
“So, in that way we have
a minimum standard for
workers in Nigeria.

“The challenge there has
been how do you take
care of the issue of
teachers’ salaries because
it is from the joint local
governments/state
account that primary
school teachers’ salaries
are paid,” he said.
“So, we want to be sure
that if we remove the
joint local government-
state account we will not
jeopardize the payment
of teacher salaries.
“That is a very
contentious issue, so we
said we have to do
further consultations
with the National Union
of Teachers (NUT) and
other stakeholders before
we can take a decision on
that to be sure that we
don’t create more
problems when we are
trying to solve and
existing problem. “So,
that is not part of what
we are going to present
to the National Assembly
when we get back.
“We believe we have
done sufficient work. This
is an incremental
approach that we have
adopted in the
amendment of the
constitution. So, what we
are saying that after we
have finished with this, if
we still have more time
before election,
otherwise maybe the
next assembly will decide
what to do.”
Meanwhile, a United
Nation Universal Periodic
Review (UPR) group has
called for the ban of the
Senate President Bukola
Saraki and nine other
senators from entering
the United States of
America over abuse of
rule of law and rights of
democratic
representation in the
Senate.
The UPR in a letter
written to the
Congressional Black
Caucus of the United
States of America
Congress said the
Nigerian Senate's
disregard for rule of law
is appalling.
The letter signed by the
chairman board of
trustees of the UPR, Ifot
Nathaniel, said the Senate
and its leadership is
currently operating a
double standard and
abuse of rule of law
which is capable of
truncating the country's
democracy. |
