N igeria, located in West Africa, is a country of over 200 million people with a diverse and rich culture and history that dates back centuries. Despite its many challenges, including poverty, corruption, and security concerns, the country boasts of an incredibly diverse array of cultural, historical, and natural tourist attractions. From its bustling cities to its stunning natural landscapes, Nigeria offers a unique experience for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the beauty and richness of African culture. This type of travel is known as Afro-tourism, and it is becoming increasingly popular as more people seek to explore and learn about African heritage. Afro-tourism is not just about sightseeing; it's about experiencing the unique cultures, traditions, and hospitality of African people. In Nigeria, visitors can take part in cultural festivals, visit historic sites, and taste the delicious local cuisine. Let's take a closer look at some of the activities and experien

Greetings everyone, I hope this message finds you well. It's been some time since I last wrote, as I have been busy with my studies in Hospitality Management and Tourism, which is ranked as the 35th most difficult course to study. The stress can be overwhelming, but I am not complaining. Today, I want to share my thoughts on Nigeria, a country with diverse ethnic groups and cultures, where despite the challenges, we continue to strive and make a global impact in entertainment, sports, and other areas. While many criticize the President of Nigeria for being corrupt, I believe he is doing his best to lead the country. The issue lies in the fact that some of the people he surrounds himself with are not capable of carrying out their tasks. This is a problem that needs to be addressed, as Nigeria is a strong nation with abundant natural and tourism resources that can be harnessed to promote economic growth and development. Despite the challenges of inflation, hardship, and complaints, N

Nigeria is seen as Africa's very own big apple when it comes to entertainment and tourism. It is a vibrant country whose pulse is felt as wide as its influence reaches. A discovery of opportunities at the very heart of Africa. Nigeria is seen as a country of constant reinvention, a country that has a lot to offer when it comes to tourism. Most events held in Nigeria have partnered with the various state governments in which the event takes place in order to enable the showcasing of various talents and also to promote tourism. Individuals from far and wide often attend these events thereby increasing occupancy rates of rooms in hotels, which leads to the increase in the growth of hospitality in Nigeria. Nigeria is blessed with so many attractions, some are known, whereas others are not. A trip to Nigeria isn't complete without a visit to it's popular attraction sites such as; i. "The fortress of Abeokuta"; Olumo Rock: The Olumo Rock which is situated in Ab

As a graduate of Hospitality and Tourism Management, the question of how to choose a career in this field in Nigeria is one that I often ask myself. The hospitality and tourism industry is full of endless potential and offers numerous career paths, from managing a 5-star hotel to becoming a tour planner and operator, to name a few. However, the reality is that Nigeria is a country whose main source of GDP is crude oil products, and the private sector's efforts are often neglected. Additionally, the industry's growth potential is yet to be fully realized in Nigeria. In my senior year in University back in 2016, I believed it would be easy to break into the industry, and many of my colleagues shared the same sentiment. We thought that studying Hospitality and Tourism was enough to become industry leaders, but this has not been the case. In Nigeria, most of the career paths we want to choose are already occupied by individuals who have little or no knowledge of the industry and it

Hospitality and Tourism are terms that we all know; the former referring to the friendly reception and entertainment of guests and visitors, while the latter is the act of traveling for pleasure. In Nigeria, however, the potential of this industry has yet to be fully realized. While it is a multi-billion dollar industry that is doing well globally, Nigeria is missing out on the benefits of this lucrative sector. Developed countries now focus more on tourism as a means of creating opportunities for foreign investment, which is crucial for the growth of their economy. However, Nigeria seems to be relying too heavily on oil money and politics, and not enough on the Tourism industry, which could be a gold mine.  Although Nigeria is referred to as the giant of Africa, it is not living up to expectations. It is only focusing on the Hospitality sector with the building of more hotels and motels without considering the need for more tourist attractions. It is essential to have more tourist att
