I was shocked and petrified to learn that Governor Soludo of Anambra state has been using state funds to build something called “Solution Fun City”, an amusement park, which they say is to “boost tourism”.

Please, what type of madness is this?

What type of lunacy is this?

It is NOT the government’s job to build amusement parks.

That is the job of the PRIVATE SECTOR.

If you like, go to America or anywhere, it’s private sector.

Disney World in Florida is not owned by the state government in Florida or the US govt.

It’s owned by Disney Corporation, a private company.

Anambra state govt’s job is to BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE and create the enabling environment that will make the Private Sector invest in such leisure facilities.

Instead, this BLOCKHEAD called Soludo left all the untarred roads, and roads with OPEN GUTTERS that he should be covering and adding sidewalks to, and lighting up etc, to start building “fun park”?

What is wrong with this man?

What is wrong with SE leaders in general?

NO FOREIGN TOURIST will visit a place with open gutters and no sidewalks.

Where are they supposed to walk?

On your mud and sand and jumping your filthy open gutters?

Never!

Fix up your cities first to meet basic modern standards first.

Create a secure environment with a very low crime rate.

THEN you can start encouraging private sector firms to establish tourist attractions!

That’s how it works.

You don’t force it by going straight to building “fun parks” while leaving what you are supposed to do first.

Sometimes I wonder the intelligence of these SE leaders.

Soludo is supposed to be a professor. He has lived abroad. He should know better, yet he’s acting as foolish as a local drunk who just attained power.

Ridiculous!

Op, You are right

Amusement parks should be private-driven, not government-driven. That's the only way its potential can be fully maximized.

Let's just hope that after building it, it will be handed over to private companies to manage and be remitting to the government on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on the agreement.

This soludo the APC minions like helinues and yarimo have been hailing

Go and take your meds





Govt can build such facilities and have it handed to private investors to manage. Win win situation...

Why are you so pained?

Is this the first state to build a leisure park?

Where were you when the Asaba Leisure park was built? Where were you when Ibom Tropicana was built? Where were you when Tinapa business and pleasure resort was built? Better still, where were you when Port harcourt Pleasure Park was built?

Why is the small leisure park Soludo is building paining you so much? mad people everywhere.

Thank you my brother.

But these state govts in Nigeria need to prioritise the physical environment.

Your environment has to look standard, even to attract investors, not to mention tourists.

They must understand that roads are not just built for cars, but for pedestrians as well.

Pedestrians are taxpayers, and are ENTITLED to their own dedicated infrastructure.

Where the road is wide enough, you must build a wide pavement on each side for pedestrians to walk on.

Your drains MUST be covered.

That’s the standard all over the world.

So a tourist will be considering Nigeria and Awka for “fun park” tourism, and go on Google Earth to see what the streets of Awka where he will be walking around look like.

No sidewalks, dusty roads, and open drains.

He just clicks away to another country and location immediately.

We MUST fix our physical environment.

Vote him out. Na mumu governor.

Sebi if I report this moniker now for trolling, your body go eventually clam down right?

I always laugh when I see these governors building one facility or the other, and calling it a “tourist attraction”.

They are so wrong-headed.

They don’t understand that tourism begins with the PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT of the city you are asking tourists to visit, NOT the actual ‘tourist facility’.

They are not going to spend all their time in your amusement park. They will need to walk around comfortably in a beautiful, clean city or town.

So your city’s condition is the FIRST tourist attraction BEFORE any particularly address or location in your city can ever be.

Today we are like the man in a dirty, unkempt house who arranged a great feast in his parlour and invited all his neighbours, thinking their hunger was enough to bring them to the feast, only to find himself sitting alone at the table.

Air Head with Low IQ, how do you know where I am from or not from?

Your problem is you are a school dropout.

That is why you reason like a toad.

My own is , Soludo should fix the insecurity ravaging the state. If Anambra is well secured, then we all can have fun but for now, I dey my house, fun city can wait until I am well secured

trolling u for beeing steeuupid

Nothing wrong with a state government building a park, wike built pleasure Park and a lot of money is being generated through rents, point of entry Ticket sales, sales of food and other activities, it will boost the igr of the state and also create jobs
