I always like the way Nigerians designed there cities/towns. The colors and architecture really catch your eye and are unique. It's just something very "African" about them. When you see it you KNOW your in Nigeria. Most of the other African countries try to look like discount Europe or middle eastern wannabes .

Micro management seems good when happening but people realize they were fvcked afterwards. I hope you are old enough to remember the Moi era. People loved him while he ruled. People used to sing him songs. Politicians who criticized him were stoned by the citizens. It is only years later that we realize he fvcked us big time. Without him, Kenya would be on the same level as Algeria. Tanzania is exactly where Kenya was during the Moi era - probably worse. At least during the Moi era we did several street demonstrations against the president and even attempted a coupe.

Micro management, it has many negative outcomes. It's a symptom of leadership insecurity. This is the same guy that fires ministers at public rallies for flimsy reasons what do you expect?

NairobiWalker:
Things are out of control man. Tanzania is officially an authoritarian state.

Yes but you have to download it. I can send the link to you if you want.

That isn't a genuine claim, i check on kenya and the gap is 15 percent. Meaning it is 5 times bigger than Nigeria in 2019 and a bit more than 4 times ahead of GHANA.

Beside, Ghana is ranked 101 out of 185 countries in the world whose economy heavily depends on revenues from the travel and tourism industry. According tho rhe same websites.

NairobiWalker:
What?

Kumamoto, can you clarify this please.

NairobiWalker:
With idiots like Kumamoto being the brains in Tz, what do you expect?

vaxx2:
But there is no Nigeria websites supporting this info. Is there any?

NairobiWalker:
But why is your economy not growing?

Kazikazi:
Each country has its own way way of doing tourism. In Tanzania, we specialize in high end tourism(the rich tourists).That means, we receives less people but much more !money than your Kenya.

Kazikazi:
Go feed this guy..

I'm pretty sure the numbers they get from Liberians, Chadians and people from Benin Republic doesn't make them worldbeaters in tourism. I'd rather get 200k tourists from UK than 500k tourists from Tanzania!

News: Kenya trails South Africa and Nigeria as the 3rd Largest Tourism Economy in Africa-WTTC

Friday Nwosu
2 weeks ago
The World Tourism & Travel Council (WTTC) has awarded Tourism and Wildlife Cabinet Secretary, Mr Najib Balala as the 2019 Global Champion Award for Social Impact.

The award ceremony took place on Tuesday in Seville, Spain during the WTTC Global Summit.

Kenya’s First lady, Margaret Kenyatta was among dignitaries who attended the event.

A statement issued by the Ministry of Tourism & Wildlife expressed its delight at the award.

‘The annual WTTC Global Champion Awards recognise public officials or countries who, through their leadership, have made a difference through unique public policies and initiatives that have increased the competitiveness of the sector within their countries,” the statement said.

The WTTC Global Champion Award for Social Impact recognises leadership in enabling gender equality and diversity; engaging local communities and making the sector more attractive for future generations.

CS Balala was in 2017 re-appointed as Cabinet Secretary for Tourism & Wildlife by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

This was the third time he was being entrusted with the tourism docket, due to his vast knowledge and experience in this field; plus, added the responsibility of taking care of Kenya’s national heritage of wildlife.

CS Balala is currently the longest-serving Minister in the Kenyan Cabinet, with thirteen (13) of experience as a Minister serving in different portfolios – eight ( of which in the Tourism sector.

The Kenya Coast Tourism Working Group chairman, Mr Hosnain Noorani who is also the Group Managing Director for Pride Inn Group of Hotels commended Balala’s latest recognition and termed it as a plus for Kenyan tourism.

”While we commend CS Balala for the historic achievement, we remain optimistic that Kenyan tourism is on the road to full recovery,” he said.

Also saluting Balala’s acknowledgement by WTTC was Managing Director of the award-winning Diani Reef Beach Resort & Spa, Mr Bobby Kamani who said that the recognition by WTTC on CS Balala marked a big milestone in Kenya’s tourism industry.

”Balala has been instrumental in leading Kenyan tourism out of the woods after years of underperforming,” Kamani said.

Industry analysts said that Balala has played a significant role in boosting growth and stability in the Kenyan and regional tourism sector, working closely with private and institutional investors, with conservation and regional development agencies to ensure that the economic potential of this vital sector was both prudently and sustainably-managed.

This was best exemplified by the recording-setting tourism performance in 2018 of over 2 million international arrivals, which was endorsed by President & CEO of WTTC, Ms. Gloria Guevara in Nairobi, where she symbolically released the WTTC Economic Impact Research 2019 for Africa recently.

In 2018, Travel & Tourism grew 5.6% to contribute KSHS 790 billion and 1.1 million jobs to the Kenyan economy.

This rate of growth is faster than the global average of 3.9% and the Sub-Saharan Africa average of 3.3%.

This makes Kenya the third largest tourism economy in Sub-Saharan Africa after South Africa and Nigeria, both of which grew substantially less than Kenya in 2018.

In total, international tourists spent over Sh157 billion in Kenya last year, accounting for over 15% of total exports. The largest inbound international markets were the USA (11%); UK (9%); India (6%); China (4%); and Germany (4%). Combined with domestic spending, Travel & Tourism supported 8.8% of the nation’s GDP in 2018.

”CS Balala is focused on improving and modernizing Kenya’s wildlife conservation sector, under the banner KENYANS FOR WILDFLIFE & WILDLIFE FOR KENYANS, since it has a direct impact on the tourism sector – of which 70% is wildlife-based,” added the statement. Thus, wildlife is key to the success of our tourism sector.

Upon receiving the award, Balala said, “This award is not only a win for the Ministry, tourism and wildlife sectors but is also an endorsement of Magical Kenya’s efforts to make tourism, wildlife sustainable and ensure that both directly benefits our local communities, who are the custodians and stewards of both our tourism and wildlife resources.”

Gloria Guevara, President & CEO, WTTC commented, “Travel & Tourism is a sector which is proven to drive economic growth, create jobs and boost social inclusion.

”I am delighted to recognise the work of Cabinet Secretary for Tourism & Wildlife from the Government of Kenya, Hon. Najib Balala, in promoting community-based tourism as a way of allowing local people to more effectively engage with tourism issues; and promoting youth activities in wildlife conservation and environmental stewardship, ”Gloria said.

Foreign investment denotes that foreigners have an active role in management as a part of their investment.

Foreigners are only in Nigeria making money for themselves and creating jobs for the Citezen of the country? They own shi shi in Nigeria?

rvp2018:
Nope. First, he wanted to build a cement company - he talked big - and wanted concession - free land, free rights to coal, tax holiday of 10yrs and lots of freebies - gov said nope. Kenya has many cement companies - and they don't ask for any freebies - they buy land, get limestones, clinker and get any special favors.

That was 10yrs ago. Now one of Kenya cement company is on the red - and Dangote is among the many suitors.

Dangote like many Nigeria businessmen is not straight. They benefit from Nigeria closed economy. Abuja have like 30-50 list of critical items whose imports are banned or require some license. They also have stone-walled regional integration. That is what Abuja federal gov uses to make money for themselves or their friends.

They cannot hack it in place like Kenya which is very open liberalized economy - and we have free trade with East Africa countries.

vaxx2:
in Ghana, he pay for everything his is enjoying now..

Dangote corruption cannot work in Ghana. Even a much more closer country to Nigeria (benin rebublic) prefer to cement from China than to take dangote much more cheaper cements.

jaycent:
Lebanese owns nothing in Nigeria. I mean nothing? You guys are just using it to cover up yourself? They're tenants in our country dude!

vaxx2:
lol. I read about the saga, he wanted to buy an existing cement factory in kenya thereby monopolized kenya cements. What he is currently doing in Ethiopia with his 1.2 biillion cement factory. In Ghana , he has gotten a production plant and large warehouse but he will not get the opportunity to monopolize the cement business , though it is selling well in Ghana but not as Ghacem and diamond.

Dangote already monopolize Nigeria cement industry,. If given the chance well enough, he will monopolized any exsiting market he ventured.

Prior to 2003, dangote is just like any normal Nigeria billionaire but the saga of obasonjo and his vice( Atiku) then paved way for him to put Nigeria in his pocket. And that is how obasonjo compensate him with what he is benefiting today. Since he was a chief donor to obasonjo. And again, he Will soon be given Nigeria destiny (oil) if he successfully complete his billions dollar refinery. The refinary according to expert has the capacity to produce more than the four combine Nigeria exsiting refinery.


Dangote himself was successful in the back of political corruption. So what else.

Blah blah blah bunch of nonsense That's all that drips out of your mouth. Keep dreaming and will keep banking.

AskiaHarem:
Nobody owns Nigeria but native Nigerians. Nigeria the most independent black nation on earth. Where making bank while your few industries are owned by Indians, British settlers own large swaths of your land to grow flowers, and Chinese slowly buying up your resources and burying you in debt.
