This is top ten, let's see top50,
9ja🇳🇬 will definitely make that list.

To me, the surprise on that list is Zimbabwe. What is attracting people to that country with all the weird news always coming from that side😌

Wildlife

blacknp:
Leave & go where, make I be slave & second class citizen for Oyibo man country? Tufiakpa, we will stay & build Nigeria our mother land.

The day Dangote, Tony Elumelu or Femi Otedola leave Nigeria na that day I go leave Naija also for good, but until then it will not stop me from coming to South Beach Miami for Memorial Day weekend every year.

Nigeria just doesn’t have tourist attractions

Litmus:
Nigeria is hugely gifted with sites and occasions of interest that would thrill the world of tourism if Nigeria invested.

The Osu Osogbo festival is gaining world interest. Every year, pilgrimage to the place grows.

Nigeria has hundreds of kings, palaces and kingdoms that have amazingly survived to present day but are shadows of thire former glory. They are potential gold. Yet the youths of Nigeria would foolishly like these abolished.

People are visiting from as far as USA and Brazil....

It’s still nowhere near as much other African nations

Joban2006:
With the way our airport is seeing foreigners trooping in and our people traveling out the report is not correct in my own opinion🤔

Which foreigners? It’s largely business or diplomatic related. Don’t be deceived. Other africans and certainly foreigners aren’t visiting Nigeria.

isArray:
Do you have data to back this up? I don't have the data too, but I know during the glory days of Obudu cattle ranch, Calabar festival, Kajuru castle e.t.c tourists do troop in

Nigeria has always been at the very bottom end of most visited African countries.

Pootle:
even nigerians dont visit nigeria, if the agulu warrior won the election nigeria would have been the no1 destination to world travelers

No1?
Nigeria doesn’t compare to Kenya, South Africa, Botswana or even Ghana. Nigerians have so much bravado

Litmus:
Kings, palaces, kingdoms and festivals. But these are currently not under sale to visitor curiosity.

You can find better as in much better in other parts of Africa and the world.

PARADIZEPRIEST:
FINLAND IS AN ISOLATED ENCLAVE RIGHT NOW...,IT IS DOWN AND GOING DOWN THE TOILET SOON IFSHA.

Not true

ezechi24:
Lagos should be above Egypt, I'm sure this statistics is not from our own propaganda machines.

Whom on earth is coming to Lagos except Nigerians? 😂😂

Nigeria is not close to its regional rivals in tourism.

Brendaniel:
Successive governments after OBJ have not been serious with governance( aside Yaradua), even though OBJ was not perfect in governance but in terms of growing and promoting Nigeria to the outside world, he remains one of the best.

During his 8 year tenure, Nigeria hosted FIFA youth world cup, Ghana/Nigeria AFCON, COJA games for all Africa, I also remember watching Nigeria advertised on CNN for years during his tenure same way Turkey and other countries advertise on CNN these days.

Now ask yourself can Nigeria even host any football worldcup or even AFCON?

Governance has deteriorated so bad that even the present government cannot even open their mouth to say they want to bid to host any world competition,

is it the security of guest nations they want to guaranty when they have not done that for their own citizens? Then how do you want tourists to visit the country?

Nigeria can’t host AFCON. Bandits would sabotage it.

Adeeko007:
So nobody or no tourist visits Nigeria or why are we not there with our numerous tourist sites, our Department of culture, tourism and information needs to do more at projecting Nigeria. We are losing great Forex due to our dormant Tourist activities and Insecurities

Nigeria can’t handle its regional competitors in tourism

abdulskulboy:
Lagos should be in number 1+

Only people in the diaspora come to Nigeria. Nigeria is nowhere others like Egypt, South Africa, Morocco etc

chariisGRACE:
Nigeria has sites worth visiting, natural and artificial, but our government do not prioritize tourism because they cannot sell millions of barrels of it everyday.

Like Rwanda, our government is doing quite prolific in creating an enabling business environment for investors in the opposite direction.

Instead of gaining visits, we are gaining exits. The citizens are exiting en-masses, establishment we never thought would exit Nigeria have successfully dashed our hope like a freshly picked egg from the poultry on a marble finished floor.

Like Tensazangetsu20 would say, You can never lose betting against Nigeria. That being said, even if Bishop Benson Idahosa should resurrect today with a message from God saying that, Nigeria would be better, do not believe it.

It does but it pales compared to its regional rivals not to talk of international ones. North Africa smokes the rest of Africa in tourism. Those countries have far better reputations, more iconic attractions etc

wemmy01:
I know Nigeria won’t be there, that’s why they are mostly amazed when they see a white person.

We are not use to it because foreigners don’t choose come here.

Of all the countries on earth, why on god’s earth would someone choose Nigeria?

gurujoe:
I didn't see nigeria in the list

African countries particularly Nigeria suck balls when it comes to tourism. Nigeria is at the lower end of African countries taking in tourism. Not only does Africa not have basic amenities like stable power, good roads etc. there isn’t really any tourist infrastructure and whatever tourist attractions Africa has pales compared to its rivals. Europe, Asia and Pacific as well North America kill Africa in terms of tourism. Even Latin America receives way more. Spain on its own has more tourist arrivals than Africa combined.

politicoNG:
AfricaFactsZone

What’s worrying is as to how low the amount of tourists Africa receives relative to its own peers. You would think Africa would fare much better in tourism.

gidgiddy:
Nigeria still has a long long way to go before reaching this stage

The economy is decreasing rather than growing

DaudaAbu:
I would start with this words which are from the end of the narrative.

Blacks have such a fragile ego. And 50 cent has been declared bankrupt before 😂

uniquetechng:
PM of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte riding on his bike to the office. Do you want to know more? The Netherlands GDP stood at $1.037 trillion at the end of 2022. The Netherlands unemployment rate was at 3.54% at the end of 2022. They don't even buy bicycles for members of their parliament nor the President's wife, not to talk of cars, infact, there is nothing like the office of the first lady. Netherlands is one of the safest countries in the world.

Politicians are killing Nigeria and setting up the citizens against each other by playing divisive politics.

It’s a black thing. It’s a shallow, vain and hyper materialistic culture.

officialwdhtv:
"Village people at work” - Abroad-based Nigerian man chased away from his friend's apartment after he posted a video that went viral in different blogs that his friend is living in a place like Oshodi.

#wetindeyhappentv

I thought it was going to be somewhere in Eastern Europe or a poor part of Latin America but that place doesn’t look anywhere as bad as Oshodi.

phorget:
The ungrateful mofo can now go get his own place that will now look like banana island.

I thought it was worse. Many Nigerians believe the country is a lot better than it actually is. That place doesn’t look anything like Oshodi

Sapasenator:
I am happy Nigerians are finally waking up to properly scrutinize the claims of these charlatans.

Twenty years ago, nobody would have dared question these outrageous claims. It means there might be hope for the country.

Honestly, Religion destroyed Africa

9jatriot:
I was going to stop responding to you since you understandably are still delusional but then I saw a post that exemplifies an appropriate response to you.

Your the delusional one here, ignoring as to how the elders created all the problems in Nigeria.

Was it the youths that devalued the naira or that fool of an old man as a president that did so? You worship fools. Look as to how an elder Tinubu has destroyed the country.

ItzBIM:
The youths are the problem Of this country.

Majority are dumb and can’t reason on their own.

For how are we going to be quiet and respect the ones that take us for fools

Tell me one reasonable people he has insulted

Sowore I support u jawe

The elders are the problem. How can the youth stage a rebellion when the elders have all the wealth and power?

Bluezy13:
Morally speaking, he lacks manners.



That the elders are wrong, doesn't give the youths grounds to insult them.
There is always a way of correcting and confronting elders but never insults.
Wisdom demands that.

It depends on the gravity of the crimes the elders have commited.

9jatriot:
There is a reason why they say what an elder sees sitting down, a child cannot see from a tree. It does not mean the elders are right all the time, it means that some of the things that get you excited also got them excited at one stage in their life, but one needs to calm down to ensure you do not derail.

Now they will be remembered for sending the nation back by another 20 years. Una weldone

They clearly couldn’t see or envision well enough to a create a safe, stable and prosperous country 😂😂

9jatriot:
If you think African youths are respectful perhaps you will need to visit Asian countries.

Start from Japan.

All these and everyother thing you have written so far are all excuses and further proves the point that the elders before you did a far better job than you

So Tinubu did a good job?

Buhari did a good job?😂😂

Your delusional

Fuel scarcity is worse than ever

Naira is more devalued than ever. As of writing
$1 is 1641 NGN
£1 is 2151 NGN

The country’s GDP has halved since the last brainless elder politician was replaced by another brainless elder politician and you’re saying they did a good job? Nothing about Nigeria or Africa suggests anything about a good job being done. The continent is a lost cause

Inflation is extremely high

The country is finished.

If the elders did a good job, Nigerians wouldn’t have taken the streets not quite a month ago.

And you’re saying what I am making is an excuse?

The difference between Japanese and generally people in other developed countries is that they don’t mindlessly obey their elders like Africans do. Nobody overdoes that whole ‘respect your elders’ more than Africans. In that part of the world, everyone is equal and the elders are fully accountable for their actions. But I can’t say the same for Africa. This whole idea of ‘respecting elders’ and ‘not questioning them’ what has it done for Africa?

You really need to brush up on African politics because your clueless.

aljharem:
Typical foolish nigerian proverb. Keep allowing the older generation to be deceiving you. Stupid set of people

The elders are all mouth. All that ‘wisdom’ they apparently have yet look at the countries of Africa? Look at what they left for the youth.

9jatriot:
I wish you well.

By the grace of God, you too will grow old one day, perhaps the next generation will also blame you and then the cycle continues.

What developed countries have done is to take responsibility for their situation and ask themselves how can we build on what was done by those before us, not how to destroy what was done because we think they could have done more.

The only countries that believe it is okay to destroy their countries are primarily developing nations with negative mindset.

So like I already said, I wish you well.

By the grace of God, you too will grow old one day, perhaps the next generation will also blame you and then the cycle continues.

The difference is that in developed countries, they are far more egalitarian. Everybody is accorded the same level of respect regardless of age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender or even sexual orientation. Everyone is treated the same and the elders don’t try and act superior and wiser compared to the youth. The youth are able to put the elders in their place. One problem with African countries is the over-respecting of elders. Africans have given too much power to a generation of people. The elders have formed and oligarchy. Nigeria is an oligarchy. Every African country is like that. Elders control all the wreath and power and use that to oppress the masses. Look at what Tinubu did during END SARS. Nigeria was ruled by old men whom were dictators.

Until the youth of Africa are able to put the elders in their place. Africa will never moved forward as a continent.

And this has nothing to do with blame, this is merely an observation. You’re the one that’s ignoring my points.

You’re ignoring that pretty much every social, political, economic etc problems that exist in this continent is as a result of the elders whether that is corruption, tribalism, insecurity, poverty etc.

How is it the youth’s that their elders of leaders/politicians have mismanaged the country’s resources?

The youth are not to blame for the bad roads, unstable
power, insecurity, lack of vibrant industries, undeveloped infrastructure and pretty much any other problem Africa has. That is the people in charge of the country (the elders). That’s what happens when the elites and politicians (elders) use the funds rather than investing it into the economy and so for the betterment of the people. They use it to fund their extravagant lifestyles.

Tinubu halved Nigeria’s GDP and has already brought on myriad of problems for the country and he’s barely done a year in office.

You can be ignorant and deceitful all you want but it’s not going to change the fact that Boomers and the elders in general destroyed the country and Africa as a whole.

9jatriot:
All the pictures of kidnappers we see are only Gen-z, the oloshos are also Gen-Z, yahoo yahoo, ritualist, murderers are also Genz. Just look at the news this week.

Now compare that to most elders. Some of the elders are farmers in villages trying to provide food for lazy ass like you.

Those problems are there because of the elders inability to A) raise their kids properly and B) provide enough opportunities for them. The elders have failed the country. Bruh they are still recovering Abacha’s looted funds from Switzerland.

African elders amuse me the most because ultimately they control all the wealth and power in the country. Almost all of the politicians, judges, lawyers etc and generally the elite that you find in Africa are old people. The elders are behind all the decision making and the political, economic etc decisions of the country. They claim to be so wise but this ‘wisdom’ of theirs is never really applied into African politics, why? Why can’t they envision a country that is better for their people if truly what an elder sees is what a youth cannot see even when climbing to the top of a tree. What a joke. Look at what the elders did to the continent.
The money that African politicians use to fund their extravagant lifestyle could have been invested for the betterment of the people. All these convoys that you see of of all these elders aswell as pretty much any of their luxuries. It’s not their own. It belongs to the people. They have stolen. You’re defending criminals who loot all of the wealth of the country and take it abroad. Your crazy. All the people that have stolen the country’s wealth
African Elders are doing far worse than the youth. They are behind all of the country’s problems. Look at what Jagabanu and Buhari have done to the country.

Ofodirinwa:
i think you're trying to use 'latin america' to do 'abroad'. nwanne, use this chance to go to the US.

Nobody is talking about America. You just don’t want to accept that Latin America is far more developed than Africa and it’s not close. The US is overrated. Canada, NZ, Australia and Western Europe are far better options. America is just better for making money but when you compare the health be it physical or mental to it’s peer nations. The US is in a terrible situation. Socially, the US is quite far behind the modern world. Many Americans are in Latin America.

Ofodirinwa:
5 fastest growing latin american countries

1. Montserrat[a] 7.40 2011 est.
2 Panama 5.40 2017 est.
3 Nicaragua 4.90 2017 est.
4 Honduras 4.80 2017 est.
5 Dominican Republic 4.60 2017 est.

5 Fastest growing economies in Africa

Niger (11.2%),
Senegal (8.2%),
Libya (7.9%),
Rwanda (7.2%),
Cote d’Ivoire (6.8%),

African economies are growing because they are undeveloped. Latin America is a middle-income region. Even the poorest Latin American countries have it far better than the average African. Africa is way way behind Latin America. Latin America is nowhere the wealth of the developed countries but its also nowhere as undeveloped as Africa.

Your making yourself look like a darn fool. You comparing Africa to a continent that actually produce, manufactures and exports high-end and finished goods like cars, aeroplanes etc. There is far more potential and opportunities in Latin America. That's why this US and the West is spending far more in Latin America compared to Africa. Latin America is pretty darn sophisticated. Granted not western level of sophisticated but still far far more sophisticated than Africa. Africans produce nothing of value, the economy is geared around resource attraction.
