AKWA IBOM CHRISTMAS VILLAGE HAS GENERATED OVER N1BN WITHIN ONE MONTH

Since it was reopened on December 1, 2020, the Akwa Ibom Christmas Village has created a value worth over N1 billion, according to the State Government.

A statement by Orman Esin, the Commissioner for Tourism, Akwa Ibom State said that the Village was a testament to the fact that the state was ready for the business of tourism.


[/b]He stated this when a team of tour operators, stakeholders and journalists from Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt visited the state.[b]

He lamented that the with the ravaging Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown, the 2020 Christmas season looked bleak as annual events were cancelled all over the world, including the record setting annual 9999 event in Uyo, but the opening of the village had brought live back to the state and showcased the potential of the South-south state.

Akwa Ibom Christmas Village is set on a huge spread of land at the cultural centre, which allows for effective social distancing and respect of Covid-19 protocols, he said.


He stated that the rich tourism potential of the state was now ready for exploitation, stressing that the state had audited its tourism assets and would be launching out with programmes in the New Year to showcase them to the world.

The team visit to Akwa Ibom Christmas Village was led by Ikechi Uko, tourism expert Ambassador and members of the Seven Wonders of Nigeria project.

The visit was organised by Travellab an Uyo based travel company and were hosted by the State Tourism Ministry.

The team was taken on a tour of some locations in Akwa Ibom guided by Prof. Edem Eniang, a Biodiversity expert.

They visited the Itam sacred Monkey Sanctuary and from there went to Itu confluence town where Cross River and River Eniong meets. They visited the Mary Slessor Heritage Sites. After a tour of Ikot Abasi historical sites before lunch at Ibom Resort.

According to the Commissioner, the Akwa Ibom Christmas Village was the biggest Christmas event of its kind in Africa with the size of its location and potential for growth.[b][/b]

“Over 600 vendors attract thousands of visitors every evening. This will become a must visit place in Nigeria every December,” he said.

Fund management? I doubt you know what it means. I weep. Financial literacy is something to be taken very seriously.

Everybody and their grandmas now think they manage other peoples money. Z[b]ero antecedent, zero prospectus, zero credentials,[/b] zero regulation.

capitalzero:
Perfect response
There are many sexual and child predators in this forum.

Aflix:
Same way you see nothing wrong in a 14 years old girl consenting to anal sex

BRATISLAVA:
Don't mind them. They are one of the rapist types who don't want to be exposed, but will later claim the woman enjoyed it.

If things were done right, that receptionist would find his face on a register.

CSTRR:
You agreed to anal sex at 14?

That is a rotten young girl there.

The guy took advantage of her inherent rottenness.

Professional misconduct and invasion of privacy. That's what it is. it's not an offense that should land him in Prison. But this woman seems to want him imprisoned. Cos I wonder why she brought it on social media to soil the name of the hotel rather than let the management handle it as a cooperate misdemeanor
.
He will surely learn decorum after the whole saga. Guyman shouldn't invade customers privacy and learn to be professional at work..
My issue is her bringing it to social media

That's why most Nigerians will remain everly poor. What a smart investor will do before investing is to investigate how real and how they can Manage bankruptcy risk. And is there any insurance policy to its effect.

codemaniacs:
This your story seems fake and it's too derogatory towards anything African and black American.


A post like this one can only come from a racist or an African with low self esteem and self hatred.

jedisco:
Of late, much has been said of how Nigerian ladies destroy their men when they get abroad and of course, the usual nairaland women bashing was rampant on such threads. I decided to repost a thought I has on this and follow up views


What many people forget are certain things I'd outline for clarity.

1. Being married in the west is different from marriage in Nigeria. That is what many don't get. Just as with kids, no matter how 'African' and disciplined you claim to be, don't go about using whips on your kids or you'd get into serious issues. Same applies with marriage. People want to get married in the west but want to lord it all as in Nigeria


2. To add to the point above. Most naija guys would go out and treat younger European kids with respect and dignity but they come home and want their wives to kneel and serve them. Most ladies would see how u treat their fellows outside and take a cue.

3. There are multiple privileges that come with being a man in Nigeria that no one would give in the West.
There is nothing that the Nigerian lady did that an average white lady wouldn't do and exceed. If in doubt, ask the white married dudes what they pass through. It's in Nigeria that a married man would have lots of girlfriends and the wife would know and do nothing.

4. Another phrase getting common on nairaland is that 'most Nigerian ladies are entitled'. I'd hazard to say that if you think they're entitled, then you've not come across a white lady living in the west. You can ask the average white lady what they think about the roles we've come to expect from ladies in Nigeria

5. There are lots of success stories with Nigerian marriages. Most successful marriages are based on compatibility. Fact is for most Nigerians who grew up in Nigeria, they'd be most compatible with a fellow Nigerian and hence having likelihood of long lasting relationships with them.


6. They're are lots of things that are taken for granted with a Nigerian brought up lady that would be major issues if it was a white counterpart e.g maintaining a relationship with relatives, model of training ones kids, maintaining ones heritage in their offspring, food, domestic chores e.t.c.
Except if you're marrying for survival (papers) but if you're standing on both feet, it'd be difficult to gel with the average white lady for a long-term relationship. Good luck finding a British lady that would rather spend her summer touring your 'boring' relatives in Nigeria than vacationing somewhere else
I'm not even talking about Asians, cos they too have a very strong cultural background.

7. In the US, it seems there's a pattern with Nigerian nurses. But it seems some guys idea of bringing a lady over is for her to work as (or train her to be) a nurse, make much more that him while he expects her to bring it back for them to spend, and he'd still Lord ot over her like they were back in Nigeria. In the west, the society would not expect a lady to remain in such a relationship for the sake of being married.

8. Finally, the fact is that a good number (didn't say all or majority) of Nigerian dudes abroad are in the lower economic classes and take up humble jobs. But these same dudes want to get married to a lady and not be humble at home. They want to be Hitler at home but outside they become doves...
LOL!!

I agree that some ladies are the devil's incarnate and would bring anyone down. But that trait is not shared by Nigerian ladies alone or by one sex for that matter.

Saccharine:
Is that not the usual Naija way? Divorce - blame the wife, domestic violence- blame the wife,death- blame the wife.

This gentleman had an accident and stopped socialising and practically became reclusive, I'm assuming a lot of other things about him would have changed as well,along with rumours of financial difficulties and perhaps some problems with his marriage..its a cocktail of pressure for anyone. Some people can't cope and do something impulsive in a bid to end that suffering.

The signs are usually there but we tend to believe people can just 'man up ' and get over it. A lot of people are going through mental suffering and anguish but have to pretend as if they're okay because of them say them say.

Depression and despair will not discriminate, rich or poor, anyone can fall prey.

RIP to him and I hope there will be some therapy available for the people who found him and those he left behind.

COMPAQ:
Well said. This is a classy, modern design. I just hope he doesn't spoil the interior with these silly 'gold' rimmed chairs that our Igbo brothers like to use (not sure where that taste in design came from). I recall seeing one of the twins interiors in 2019 or so and it was classy. Same for Timaya...his interior decor i saw in 18 or 19 was on point. Not the nonsense MC Oluomo did or E-Money in his Anambra house.
