Lol.you are getting emotional...calm your titties down....

Anyway you've been told severally to stay away from blogs and embrace facts.. .
Nigeria receives more tourist than Kenya and even generate more revenue from tourism than Kenya...that should tell you which is more of a famous destination not random blog...

Not really.
Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda and Egypt actually count their diaspora coming to visit their home countries as International Tourists.
Kenya and South Africa do not. Kenya has not done so since 2010.When our diaspora visit from the West and the Middle East, they are counted as Domestic Tourists as they do not enter the country with a foreign visa(Kenyan law establishes that a Kenyan passport holder is treated as a local, even if they have a second passport).
A look at the "tourists" of Nigeria. Most are Nigerian diaspora.
Same to Ghana although Ghana is trying to attract African Americans.
In Kenya, there are no Kenyans counted as International Tourists, even from the diaspora. You have to be an actual foreigner to be counted as an International tourist.
If we use the same methodology as Ghana and Nigeria, then Kenya in 2015 had 3.4 million tourists as we add both domestic tourists from abroad visiting(usually multiple times a year, especially from the Middle Eastern diaspora hence the high number) plus our international ones.
Uganda also has a flawed methodology, East Africans simply crossing the border are counted as tourists and thus the largest number of tourists are actually Kenyans there.
Plus, what attractions does Nigeria have that East and South Africa do not have on a much much bigger scale exactly??
West Africa decimated its wildlife long ago, virtually every major African animal species on the continent is found in East, Central and Southern Africa today.
Kenya has 20% of its land under National Parks and Reserves and a further 16% under Wildlife Conservatories.
Kenya for example has the largest black rhino population, the third largest elephant population after Botswana and S. A. The second largest lion population after S. A. The largest giraffe, bufallo and of course wildebeest and zebra population etc etc
Nigeria barely has 10%.
When it comes to landscapes, I am yet to see any beach, natural feature or natural landscapes from West Africa win any awards.
Kenya Tanzania and South Africa monopolise the list from the Karoo of South Africa to the Northern Kenya region to Diani beach to the beaches of Zanzibar and of course the Mara migration spectacle.
Nigeria has the history of slave trade(we do as well at the Coast) that's it.
International tourists hardly know to go to Nigeria.
Kenya is ever in every major news publication globally when it comes to tourism. I would like to see how many Nigerian attractions appear in the major news publications and tourist publications on a monthly basis.
South Africa appears every week.
Kenya and Egypt appear every month.
Never seen Nigeria anywhere.

Those folks you call tourists are just returning Nigerians..

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.

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.

No one visiting the zoo..all millions you are counting are basically naijas returning home to roost.

Ghana's Sinohydro deal touted as a new model for Africa to follow

Sinohydro Deal Good
Under the deal Sinohydro will fund infrastructure projects in Ghana

Ghana's multi-billion dollar deal with China's Sinohydro has been hailed internationally as a model which the rest of Africa must emulate to help reduce the financial woes of their economies.



The game-changing deal, signed by the government of President Akufo-Addo in 2018 with the Chinese Government, is a multi-billion dollar equivalent exchange of refined Ghanaian bauxite, a mineral crucial to aluminium production, in return for Chinese construction of infrastructure in the country.

The deal has been remarkably described as a complete departure from direct foreign currency loan from China, in exchange for infrastructure, which many African governments easily adopt to fund their development projects at the expense of sound fiscal management of their economies.

Known as the 'Angola model', African countries who are in dire need of foreign currency to fund infrastructure projects go for direct foreign currency loan from China in exchange with mineral resources, unlike the Ghana-Sinohydro arrangement which is not a direct foreign currency loan, but a direct batter with refined bauxite exchanged for its equivalent of infrastructure - with no money exchanging hands.

Writing for APPS Policy Forum (policyforum.net), an international economic journal which brings together the world's best essays, opinions and ideas about public policy in Asia and the Pacific, International Economists, Laurene Johnston, hailed the Akufo-Addo Government's strategy as the best, and the way forward for Africa.

"With low savings and foreign reserves, some states in Africa are struggling to secure investment for their development, but a recently announced policy model from the west of the continent provides a potential way forward," wrote Lauren Johnston.


"The deal is a multi-billion dollar equivalent exchange of refined Ghanaian bauxite, a mineral crucial to aluminium production, in return for Chinese construction of infrastructure in the country."

This new style of China-Africa (Ghana) barter arrangement is a step away from the recent and widely used 'Angolan model', the international economist added.

Lauren Johnston, who is a Research Associate, China Institute, School of Oriental and African Studies, London University, and also a PhD holder in International Economics, further explained why the Sinohydro deal between the Government of Ghana and China is mutually beneficial to both countries.

"This represents a step away from mega foreign currency loans and towards direct bartering. In China’s case, it offers a crucial mineral and a step around accusations of China’s debt-trap diplomacy. For Ghana, it offers a loan and foreign currency-free means of securing development investment."

Hailing the Sinohydro deal by the government, the international economist recalled how Ghana, under the then government of the NDC, suffocated Ghana with debts with the hope of financing it with anticipated oil revenue a forecast which backfired when oil revenues failed to meet repayment requirements.


"Almost a decade ago, Ghana itself borrowed extensively on the back of an oil find, only to find itself in trouble when oil revenues failed to meet the repayment requirements. In contrast, this new model offers upfront finance for Ghana's development - at an implicitly fixed price for the agreed supply of Ghana's bauxite," wrote the economist in the international journal.

She added: "in effect, this is something of a fixed interest rate deal - the gamble being on whether the agreed price of bauxite rises or falls against that benchmark."

"The deal takes away this uncertainty for Ghana's planners and offers a step around foreign currency supply and price volatility risks in the process. It is perhaps a kind of new fixed interest rate development loan - one where payment is in the form of a fixed-price commodity, in this case, bauxite."

Continuing, the writer observed that given Ghana's poor experience with resource-backed foreign currency lending, especially in the past decade under the previous government, the Sinohydro deal is a strong indication by the Akufo-Addo government to regain Ghana's long term status as a "frontier of African development" and the impact of the Sinohydro deal may soon be felt on the African continent.

"Given its poor experience with resource-backed foreign currency lending, the new bauxite deal suggests that Ghana is instead setting a new, currency-free lending course. The impacts of this may yet be felt across the continent and beyond."


The Government of Nana Akufo-Addo agreed the mega Sinohydro deal with the Chinese Government in 2018.

The deal will finance infrastructure development in each of the sixteen regions in the country. Priority projects such as construction and rehabilitation of roads, the extension of electricity to rural communities, hospitals, etc. are to be funded through the Sinohydro deal.

A number of such projects, including the Tamale interchange, have commenced.

First of all, how is this an evidence to debunk numerous stats online that we are more of a tourism hub than your alsaahab kingdom will ever be....that 3% is still more than whatever tourist you draw into your zoo...

By the way your post is almost 4 years old....you want to surpass us in tourism maybe you should start by chasing those alsaahab in your capital which is your most important location to tourist and reduce your kidnapping of tourists and expatriates maybe then you can come close to us in tourism..

Stop your madness. no-one is willing to bottle feed you here. arguing from morning to night will not change the fact on ground. Ghana is more prosperous than any eastern African country including ruwanda. the recent shinning star of East Africa talkless of kenya .......

from the recent legatum prosperous index 2019....

So your list continues and boom!! Zimbabwe, Uganda then Naija! Lol Naija is indeed undisputed ZOO!! But I don't think legatum prosperity matters when it comes to development., the tool focuses primary on economic impact and human development,
