| Why Nigeria Doesn't Attract Tourists And Foreigners by Evilthoughts(op): 6:45am On Jan 22 |
If you noticed the recent videos of ishowspeed around Africa you would be embarrassed by how our people acted. Nigerians were begging and expecting handouts which sends bad signals to any visitor. I have visited Kenya and they don't beg foreigners, foreigners might give them something out of the goodness of their hearts but they don't harass them. I have lived in South Africa for years and you will never see them begging tourists or foreigners, even the poor ones act very proud when they see you are not one of them. Why do we always want to project ourselves in bad light infront of strangers even though we are the better Africans with more pride,global respect and hustling spirit. This is why we are even getting disrespected by small small African countries that should be begging to clean our houses for free . Let us stop the beggy beggy culture, it makes us look weak to outsiders. You can't be begging strangers in your own home. Look at what those weak South African footballers did when they were in Nigeria,giving out food from moving bus windows to humiliate us. Do you think they would take that if the Eagles did same to them? They would stone our players and accuse them of demeaning them. We need to change this behavior before it's too late .

You claim to be the "better Africans" but 80% of your post is about South Africans😂. We sure do trigger una 🇿🇦🏆 |

My friend ,Naija is very depressing and frustrating at the moment and there are no benefits for citizens. So you cannot really have pride when you are suffering. Your comparison to South Africa is silly at best. Firstly South Africans don't hold foreigners in high regard like we do. They don't go all out for strangers unless you ask politely. They also see begging foreigners for help ,not as a lifeline if you're poor but as an insult to their state who gives everyone free money monthly ,so why.beg?. Does Nigerian government offer the same benefits to the poor as South Africa? As for Kenya, things are as bad as Nigeria over there too in many communities but they are used to foreigners because of their tourism ,so they don't see every foreigner as an ATM because they know others are broke but just saved enough to go there. And Kenya government also has some benefits for the citizens. What do we get in Nigeria to cushion the hardship ? |

Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world. They claim they never carry last. But Nigeria and Nigerian people are last in everything |

Ihaveleftnaija:So you expect handouts like lazy citizens of those countries. Nigerians are hardworkers not looking for government to feed them,we can hustle for ourselves. But the useless people on.those streets need to be punish for giving Nigeria a bad name on a global stage making even lazy people to mock us ,even though everyone knows we are the most dominant and smartest Africans. |

Imagine, I show speed coming to AKWA IBOM/ CALABAR OR EVEN PLATEAU- JOS, HE WOULD HAVE EXPERIENCE THE TRUE NIGERIAN CULTURE. NOT NIGHT CLUBS AND LITTLE BEGGINGS FOUND IN LAGOS |

Ok let's face it straight up. Tell us what's attractive about Nigeria? Is it corruption, kidnapping, terrorists, ethnicity, religion, underdevelopment and quota system. If am a tourist I won't tour Nigerian |

Why we don't attract foreigners is as a result of insecurity. I don't know what excuse we can use to justify begging. Are Nigerians the only people going through hardship? |

Evilthoughts:You are right. But first, the kings have to care for their captives by ensuring that there is national wealth. But, no the kings and their cronies are the ones drawing everything only to themselves. They are the ones who build and own all the varieties of hotels, they have colobid the beaches and riverside (Makoko) and lands to themselves. So the poor have to beg for crumbs. If the kings of the land truly cared, the whole of Nigeria would be like Hawaii and the people won't be beggy beggy |

Nigeria does not attract torists because we're a terrorist infested country. And all the terrorists are home bred From Lakurawa to Memuda to IsWAP to Boko haram to bandits aka Fulani hellsmen The FG still added jara by adding IPOB to the mix How many countries do you have six terrorists groups operating all at once Op. If you were a tourist, will you go to a county battling two terrorists groups? |

Lagos is the headquarters of beggers and destitutes, every junction, street and highway, Dirty road side business, competing with pedestrians for walking space.. Touts everywhere, agebero , omonile at every junction begging and fighting for money.. Even from Lagos airport, the immigration staffs welcome you with begging Speed Should have gone to Abuja, meet only celebs in Lagos.. Btw how can you expect tourists when US is dropping bombs on your soil due to your inability to fight insecurity.. denying the kidnap of your citizens, that's an impeachable offense.. |
