This is rubbish, economy that can not reflect on its masses, is that one economy?

Just because it hasn't reflected on you doesn't mean it hasn't reflected on others...if world has come out with a bad news on nigeria like of your will still be the first to xritisize..

SouthSouth1914:
improved economy? In what sense?? A telecom driven industry where data is super expensive in a third World country is a yardstick for them to tie their findings!

Mumu...Nigeria has one of the cheapest data in the world...we are among top ten globally..

Did you also factored in the numerous sporting events(marathons, ITTF challenges...), cultural events (calabar festivals, Dubar horse festivals in the north,Lagos Eyo festivals...), religious events (Osun Oshobo festivals,Churches events that attracts millions of tourists including thousands of Kenyans,Muslims mould celebrations among others), music and films events(miss universities Africa, MTv awards, Sound city awards,Afrimma,Channel .....)?

The mumu thinks is only attractions that pulls tourist...

Shma:
since You are addicted to blogs I will also return the favour! 2017 kenya was having elections and thus affected the by election violence which affected tourist arrivals. Naija will never rich Kenya level on international tourists. Another blog of 2017 says this.
Here are Africa's top ten destination countries as published by ForwardKeys, based on the international arrivals from January to July 2017.
Morocco. ...
Mauritius. ...
Tunisia. ...
Kenya. ...
Algeria. ...
Tanzania. ...
Ethiopia. ...
Nigeria. Nigeria remains the biggest surprise.

Don't be dumb...what he gave you was not blog...go check works, travel and tourism council (WTTC) and you will still see the same thing....it been done by various reputable global organisation.....

By the way since when did blog become fact that you are cuddling so much..

mtisTheQubit:
[s]doesnt matter which year , but your own government said that very few foreigner visit Nigeria as tourists...
Lemme put it ths way..if you ever see tourists disembark a plane in Kenya an compare with such in Nigeria you will notice a difference...Your so called tourists are ogas returning home... fact[/b]

You are still not giving me credible evidence but stale news......

The annual event that takes place in Lagos alone pulls more tourist than Kenya will ever pull in two years.....

Don't get angry that we are more of a tourism hub than Kenya..

mtisTheQubit:
i wanted to post ths man...

Lol I could listen to everything he said but he did attest to what I said yesterday....he said and I quote .."THEY TOLD ME NOT TO DISS YOU CAUSE NOBODY KNOWS YOU IN YOUR CITY".......I remember me and problemkid saying no one knows him here....it is pretty obvious that the two talentless, nobodies are looking for attention...it is the easiest way to fame this days.....

I couldn't help but notice him respect each and every ONE of our artiste(rappers) one after the other ....MI, VECTOR BY THE VIPPER, ICE PRINCE ZAMANI, YCEE....

mtisTheQubit:
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.

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..

[s]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.[/s]

Can't believe you ranted this much over a mere, harmless facts.....untill you provide me proof that we count Nigerians returning back as international tourist then only will I consider your gibberish....

The rest nonsense you wrote about attraction got me yawning....you noise has made me sleepy..

Yankari game reserve

Obafemi awolowo University..(OAU)

Obudu. .. Calabar

Federal University of Abeokuta..

University of Lagos

Port Harcourt at random

Lol can you believe the stupid blog saying Kenya is more of a famous destination than Morrocco , Egypt, Tunisia....that was when I knew we were dealing with a fraudulent blog.....

Shma:
where is NIGERIA

He didn't post the part that featured Nigeria...we should be among top 100...

leo552:
samorobo,you will never accept facts,name those universities which are a head of Kenya in ranking.

Unverified words from your mouth cannot be considered facts.....go check "THE HIGHER EDUCATION". Ranking for 2018,2019,2020 and see the following Universities kicking the ass of any University your 56 years old country has ever produced....

Covenant University (among top 500 globally and 6th best on the continent)

University of Ibadan (among top 600 globally and 10th best on the continent)

University of Nigeria Nssukka....


Pls not that none of your universities made it among top 1000 globally but nigeria had four unis among the top 1000 with the inclusion of University of Lagos...

Shma:
Talking of NIGERIA what comes in mind? Huge population, poverty and ZOO. I can bash Ghanaians but your county is a big mess in west African.

Kenya. Kenya offers the best of Africa on show, from the African wildlife in its National Parks to the beautiful Diani beach. ...
Tanzania. ...
Egypt. ...
Ethiopia. ...

West Africa is nowhere

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...

leo552:
Kenya is best ,have u taken keen look on those cars on Naija roads and Accra?.can only rival those in Somali.

Typical Kenyan ignorant statement...Nigeria is ranked the third country on the continent with the highest cars per capita just behind SA.....

I can paralyze you with YouTube video of cars on Nigeria street....let start with this....we can go on you know..

leo552:
Did they know that Kenyan universities host many west African students,Nigeria leads the pact,sierra Leone,Cameroon and Ghana in that order.

Same thing here.....Kenyans are littered all over our unis.....

Plus don't forget Nigeria unis have constantly been ranked over yours.. just check "the higher times " ranking for 2018, 2019,2020..

vaxx1:
Uhuru kenyatta will slap you out of existence for this foolishness and stupidity. Your President was busy wasting the tax payer money by flying high delegate to Ghana to understudy Ghana development and progress and how it can be replicated in your home country. and you unknown idiot says You don't know Ghana. wait, does Kenya knows you? kenya came to Ghana to learn about our atomic energy, national service scheme ( even south africa was impressed, she recently understudy it .our rural electrification a major example of progress on your forsaken kingdom.

Ghana has been a major example of progress to east Africa. including Tanzania and Uganda.

The truth still remain. west africa are ignorant of east Africa except Ethiopia due to biblical history and africa geopolitics . and when we say we are ignorant, it does not really mean we dont know about your location on the map, it simply means we dont know about your history and our media are not willing to poke their nose into your internal affairs except maybe ruwanda of late ......

You just explained it the way it is in my mind......even Rwanda is barely known in Nigeria....

Shma:
you 're a fool then, Sammy is just playing around with words to piss us. But you are here craving for attention out of desperation. When talking of west African only Nigeria come to mind. Ghana Is like Uganda in east africa. No one bothers about their existence. But not knowing Ghana as a country is a big joke. The only IMF colony who are tied with one and only Zimbabwe in the same bout.

Honestly that was not meant to piss you off...it's just the truth...

TayserMahri:
,,,being the main stations thats kind of underwhelming, even by Giants standards.

Beef

Troy404:
Just the other day Nigerians on nairaland front page were celebrating 12hrs a day electricity. Pathetic

Maybe a Nigerian living in the deep forest village....don't fight that chart ..it is fact...

Troy404:
First learn how to type properly before quoting me, i hate fools.

Apparently the fool is who...you can't blame me if you're still having problem with reading ..

TayserMahri:
The contractors are trying to save on detergent costs during actual launch day when they have to mop the dirtified floor. Ask any engineer.

Havent seen the renders you can share

Keep spewing trash..


1: Lagos station
2: Abeokuta station
3: Ibadan station..

Troy404:
Nigerians on Twitter are singing praises to OG, that diss is savage.

You nuisance as Austin once said is constantly looking for words from Nigerians mouth to massage your fragile ego..

TayserMahri:
Thats naijas way of doing things. In other normal countries the test train's floor isnt covered because the citizens arent dirty.

Na your wahala be that....

The contractors have their reason for covering it...

Btw have you seen the render images of the the top train ultra modern train stations along lagos-ibadan..

mtisTheQubit:
An i thought its only the naija nairalands who behave like ths

Nigerian rapper Blaq Bonez has been forced to apologize to rapper Khaligraph Jones (Kenya ) after threatening to drop a diss track on grounds that he did not deserve to be crowned the Best rapper in Africa at Sound City MVP Awards.

And did he apologized?.....
A test I have never heard of blaq bonez....I am just hearing that name from you...

gallivant:
Do you reckon Nigerians barely knowing Kenya exists is a bad thing? I think it's a great thing.

Sadly that is the situation on ground..

TayserMahri:
Why cover the train's floor like that? Are Naijas that dirty? Cant even push a bag around. And your women need to stop dressing like nuns Not sayin they dress like hoez but they must show a little cleavage. Its no fvcking jail!

Anyway, look at the recently completed rail stations in Kenya under second last phase 2 SGR. Even aesthetically the Kenyan intermediate stations are better than your main stations So too is your train that looks more ancient

Common sense should tell you that that train is not complete yet...they are going to test run it till March while awaiting the new train station which is under construction...hence the govt is using this opportunity to give free ride.....

Haven't you seen the sgr in Abuja?...no such thing was spread on the floor...

gallivant:
No it doesn't. You can clearly see one has a level of sophistication.

.yeah right....

I was going to say the same....I mean look at affordable unit in Lagos looking more sophisticated a s appealing to the eye compared to luxury homes in Kenya....


I feel like both of us are on the same page today.......this is nice for a start
