WHEN TB JOSHUA STILL DEY, NA NIGERIA DEY CARRY FIRST

You will not understand the infrastructural deficit of this country until you step out of Nigeria

Morocco is miles ahead of Nigeria in terms of having livable cities and accessible infrastructure, especially, transport infrastructure.

These are the things that attracts tourists. Tourists wants to use the public bus and the transport systems to move round the cities and hinterlands

Then the issue of the type of human beings inhabiting each country. Moving on our streets alone would induce fear to any tourist without a guide.

The poverty level is also a factor - the quality of human beings matters a lot in terms of how countries are viewed. If you want to look at the quality of human beings in any country, take a look at the people on the street.

Finally, the INSECURITY!!!!! Our problems are many

giANT of Africa (for mouth) is nowhere to be found on positive lists like this.

Which sensible tourist would want to even visit a terrorists' enclave?

I found myself discussing 9ja's cumbersome visa policy with a Nigerian embassy staff one day.

He was adamant that millions of people apply for 9ja visa yearly, that what you (yours truly) know, that he's the one who knows as an embassy staff.

I told him the visitors figures/statistics are out there and that compared to even Kenya, 9ja is nowhere. Despite our size, population, endowment, diversity, culture, etc. The olodo didn't get it. He said Europeans charge Nigerians a lot for their visas and Nigeria is doing great by reciprocating. Empty pride.

I reminded him that the cost of a Nigeria multiple visa for some Europeans, is enough to buy a ticket to Morocco and pay for hotel for the weekend. No visa. Yet Moroccans need visas to much of Europe. Moreover, visitors to 9ja mostly have some 9ja family/marriage ties. Or are expatriates or for business that largely economically favour them more than 9ja.

That is before you even factor the 9ja insecurity factor in.

I insisted Nigeria should not always react emotionally to Western policies, but in a calculated way to take money from Europeans via tourism.

Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania have long introduced a common visa arrangement for tourists.

I don't need a visa to Morocco, Tunisia or even Uganda. But if had to present a 9ja document, I would need visas to all. They have cleverly exempted Western tourists bringing hard currencies.

Morocco gets well over 7% of its GDP from tourism. They don't have much natural resources.

Sore losers and bitter people like you are part of the problems.

Honestly, if there's a way to remove those Arabic 4 out of Africa, that'd be a great win for Africa.
These people doesn't have any iota of Africanism in them and have total disregard for black Africans.

What good has Africanism brought? By the way those four are doing far better than the 'African' countries. Libya that evil Obama destroyed has rebuilt most of its cities, and boasts of better infrastructure than most African cities.

I agree with those four refusing to identify as African countries. Africa?

We don't need them, we don't want people coming here on sexual tourism and bringing their perverse sexual acts here!

They're more than 4 na.

Egypt, Morocco, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia.

APC well done o

Mathewrichard99:
Morocco that is so unfriendly to fellow Africans especially Black African......besides, those 3 Arabs countries aren't African in the real context of ethnical verification, Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt including Algeria and Libya are all Arabs of the Mediterranean Axis..and they never wanted to be regarded as Africa from the time immemorial. Morocco even begged to be included in European Union. All these countries listed above have their allegiance to the Association Of Arab nations only....

They don't see themselves as Africans. And if today an opportunity presents itself for them to stop being regarded as Africans they will jump on that opportunity without thinking twice.

I don't know why we keep forcing the African title on them.

CAF helped Morocco to gain this feet

Nigeria is not even on the list anymore? See how far the country has been battered.

Na pastor TV Joshua dey attract people to Nigeria before …

The gap here is not about what the continent has to offer.

#Africa has more variety, history, landscape, and human culture than most travellers will ever fully explore.

The gap and absence of some countries from this list is about investment, infrastructure, visa policy, and the story being told to the world about what is actually here.

The #tourists are going where it is easy to go and where someone spent real money making sure they knew about it.

That is a solvable problem.

Under what category does shitty water fall

Poor electricity and high chance of being kidnapped.

Realist5:
Nigeria was not listed because of insecurity.

God help us.

How else do you want God to help us after making every human being in His image

And not everyone have budget for kidnappers you know

Power supply and electricity are not an issue anymore since 2015.

Fashola to Nigerians: 'If You Want to Have Stable Electricity Supply, Vote PDP Out in 2015'

Jul 11, 2014.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, while marking his 2,600 days in office at an elaborate ceremony held at the Blue Roof of the Lagos Television premises, has said voting out the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from power in next year’s general election is the only way the country can have stable electricity.

According to The Nation, Fashola said electricity crisis in the country is caused by lack of ideas and insincerity of purpose on the part of Federal Government.

"Yes I agree with you that it is possible to generate electricity and to make sure that everybody in this country has electricity, we have to do the right thing. But you know what, the only way that you and I will have electricity in this country will be to vote out the PDP.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Sunday evening boasted that he could provide uninterrupted power supply to Lagos residents between six and eight months.

Fashola spoke at the commissioning of 8.5 megawatts Lekki Independent Power Project (IPP), the fifth of such power projects in the last five years in the state.

The governor said the addition of the Lekki IPP was a testament to the fact that stable power does not require rocket science to achieve in the country.

While challenging power distribution companies in the state, Fashola said, “Let the Eko DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part of their concessioning to the state government, in about six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in Lagos State,” Fashola said.

He added, “So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated. So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible”.

The project, courtesy of the state government, in partnership with Heritage Bank, is to serve Lagos State Water Corporations in Lekki Phase 1, Oniru, Victoria Island and Ikoyi, as well as over 25km of public lightening in the Lekki axis.

You are expecting to see country of particular concerns on the list, you are decieving yourself. Nigeria can only surface when you see categories of (1)Terrorism .(2). Corruption. (3). Poverty HQ (4). Kidnapping. (5).Bad Healthcare System etc

/Ghana got independence 3 tears and 7 months before Nigeria!
So what do you mean by "imagine even Ghana..."

TheStoriesOfMan:
That is why the country should split, make everybody answer him papa name.

Splitting Nigeria? Wait once Tinubu is no longer president of Nigeria. The SW people shall renew and intensify their agitation for Yoruba Nation.

decatalyst:
Insecurity is a bane to development and FDI attraction. Tourism is not excluded.

As a retire General, Buhari failed to etch his name in the history books of Nigeria.

He could have just help eradicate terrorism and banditery but it became worse.

The current one is failing more...fix power and your name will forever remain on the right side of history.

the power fixing thing is like, it's out of reach for ever.because ,if the real power base , which is (aso rock)is going to be disconnected from the national grid, what hope do we have?

SeverusSnape:
Who's bashing Nigeria?. I'm just stating the obvious. It's a fact, Not an opinion. Is the tourism industry in this country not almost dead as a result of insecurity?. Is Nigeria not the Fourth most terrorised country in the world??

the truth is not far fetched.... They all know the truth
Insecurity is a major challenge here and it's evidently not possible to have such amounts of tourist here.

Morocco gets well over 7% of its GDP from tourism. They don't have much natural resources.

So you're saying that we should throw or doors open for them to enter anytime they like without any visa policies and restrictions simply because we want to boost our tourism figures and earn more dollars.

Inferiority complex is your problem, you are also an olodo!

If I'm not a Nigerian I would be raving mad to go through the stress of entering Nigeria twice (except large personal revenue is involved)! Sad reality. Even as a Nigerian, it's still hard. On top what??
*There are improvements but we can do a lot better.

Hope the new design of MMIA Lagos would fix some of the issues but there is absolutely no reason why an international airport should be easily accessible to all sorts of touts and clowns. It is the first impression of your "homeland" for most visitors. However our train terminals (especially the new ones in Yaba, Agege, Abeokuta and Ibadan) are very good and must be well maintained.
