The next morning, i got a call from the reception to come have my breakfast and this is what i had for breakfast(You eat as much as you can serving yourself) i had to pick up what i can eat not some unlovely food. I was transported back to the Airport to catch my flight to Kigali. At 12:10pm, we took off and straight to Burundi. When we arrived, they announced that only people going to burundi should drop. But as i am on a trip to experience what Africa look like outside Nigeria. I came down to feed my eye. These people are still fighting Ebola, they are sterilizing their arrivals. First and second picture was my breakfast Third picture... Burundi International Airport Fourth Picture... The food served on the Airplane 2 Likes

Re: My Travel Experience To East Africa by Predstan: 1:10pm On Feb 14, 2019 |
Got back into the Flight and we took off to Kigali International Airport in Rwanda. We arrived Kigali, Not as beautiful as MMIA or Addis Ababa Bole International Airport but a very nice reception and differentley from Nigerian Airport, they have a free WIFI just as Ethiopia Airport also has free and fast WIFI. 6 Likes

I got my VISA with Baic questions like my profession, why i was in Kigali and schedule within rwanda. Remembered the questions i was asked in Nigeria and i just shake my head for Nigerians. I dont think we can ever move forward. Sincerely, our problem is only 30% from the leaders. The other 70% is from the Citizens. Yes, you and I because our orientation has already been compromised. Back to the real deal, I bounced out of the Airport with my luggage to exchange my Dollar to Rwanda Franc. $1 is 890rwf. I exchanged $100 which is equal to 89,000rwf and thats 36,100 naira according to how i exchanged in Nigeria. Let me qickly say this, I couldnt get BTA in my Bank in Nigeria because they said they needed to see a Visa on my International Passport. I got it exchanged from Aboki for 361 naira to a dollar... See picture of the highest Rwandian denomination(5000rwf) and a 50rwf coin. They also have 100, 200 in coin and their paper currencies are 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000. 9 Likes

I took a taxi to my Hotel for 10,000 rwf which i believe was inflated and i was gullible to pay it because taking a bike from the Airport will only cost me 1000rwf. My first encouter is that they dont speak English and its so difficult to communicate. Even hotel receptionist cant communicate fluently in English. It was night already and i needed to fill my empty stomach. See list of food attached in the Picture. I odered for Beef Stew which comes with rice and Potato as attached in the Picture. I also requested for Fanta, i wonder why Nigeria does not have this kind of Fanta anymore though. The food cost 2700rwf, Fanta is 600rwf and water is 400rwf. After Dinner, i took a night walk and found a Club closer to my hotel, I entered and the music i heard them playing was Wizkid and Davido... WOW!!! Interesting right? I ordered for Primus, and i got into conversation with the manager who explained to me how much they love Nigerian Artists more than their own Artists. He's tellling me to help him come to Nigeria and i told him he needs 500,000rwf to come down to Nigeria. This guy is ready to pay me this money ooo... Na so I go just scam am Lol... Thats really funny though. Its recorded in Video, I dont have any picture but you can see the one attached. 10 Likes

First Picture here is Primus Beer which cost 1000rwf Second Picture is What i saw walking around in the Night Very Clean Roads In Kigali. You throw refuse on the floor, you are going directly to Prison without interrogation. You can see in the Last Picture that everyone uses the Helment. Its a Law that must be followed. Omce you are caught breaking a Law, you are going directly to Prison where u spend atleast 1 week before you call for lawyer or any interrogation 10 Likes

It's very simple to make everything bad about MMIA go away. Just get the balls to privatize it. Sell to private management or let it be run by private companies and you will see how effective everything will be. Only MMIA you have 2 govt bodies. FAAN and NIS. you don't see this anywhere else in the world! 1 Like |

SkinnyNigga:You are pathetic. Do you think on a grander scale Rwanda is better ? But don't people go to Rwanda ? Yes if you want to live a life that's for savory, go there and retire. Nigeria is for those who love adventurous life. Have you noticed the only picture of rwanda that you see online is that of the Radisson Blu hotel ? 2 Likes |

rs172:Lol, I have been to few East African countries for vacation (Rwanda inclusive) and amongst all of them, l give it to Rwanda, they have been able to put the Genocide behind and the country is making satisfactory progress, Rwanda has 24/7 Power, security is topnotch, corruption is almost non-existent, Rwanda police force is ranked the best in Africa by (WEF) world economics forum. Rwanda is also a very clean country, you can register a business and get your business registration certificate within 24hours, kidnapping, cultism, ritualism, robbery is almost non-existent, you are safer in Rwanda than lagos, although, the population is about 12million but the President of Rwanda is building institutions across the country and it is just a question of time before Rwanda becomes the coveted bride in Africa 13 Likes |

Agbaletu:I agree with you, but one thing I noticed during my visit amongst Rwandanese citizens is the fact that they speak one language called( Kyrwanda), it is much easier to govern and enforce discipline in that kind of environment compared to where you have different ethnic groups, languages and Yes, President Kagame is following the footprint of Mr Lee of Singapore,l read several articles about Kagame and his plans for Rwanda which is modelled after Singapore etc 16 Likes |
