With leaders like this e go hard rock develop Nigeria...

Tinapa was meant to fail and we keep failing not because it's a bad project na it's a fantastic project

The issue is Nigerians don't have the "business" Population to make it profitable

3 years ago only 3.7milliom Nigerians spent 10 dollar plus per day... Now I'm sure it's below 2 million people

Going to tilapia would cost 50 dollars minimum... How many Nigerians have that to spare per capita

Calabar people would just go there to snap picture

Anyone who has done business in a mall knows the truth 70% of people just come to take pictures

Tinapa like ajokuta can't work the mistake has been made let it go

COMRADES, kudos to the current administration of Cross River State, unlike the former governor (Ayade) who only knows how to speak 'big big' grammars CRY and siphon the economy of the state

Waste of funds. Like the first person already elaborated, we don't have the spending population that will make this profitable.

These governors and white elephant projects are like Siamese twins

We normally do not respond to people online especially ignorant folks like you but we choose to respond to you because you seem to be abusing your privilege of being ignorant on a global platform.

You are not the only ignorant person online. Please keep your ignorance to yourself, do not force it down other people's throat.

It is because of people like your that intelligent journalists do not abound in Africa because when we make a publication and present information that is somewhat alien to you, instead of you to do a simple research and learn from it, the first thing you do is to ignorantly attack the author. You even had the audacity to say that I wrote nonsense.

Look at the location of Calabar on the map again before you make a mockery of yourself publicly.
Geographically speaking, Calabar, Cross River State is located in Nigeria's South East. Whatever you designate it politically does not change the location on the map.

COMRADES, kudos to the current administration of Cross River State for reviving Tinapa and Obudu, unlike the former governor (Ayade) who only knows how to speak 'big big' grammars and looted the economy of the state

BoldBrainz:


You can write all the epistles you want with an accompaniment of whatever maps and graphs that suit your disjointed analysis borne of your warped intelligence, but all of it won't change the practical reality that Calabar is NOT in the South Eastern region of Nigeria.

You're stylishly looking to push an agenda and it is only elephantine stupidity that should give you the impression that all of the reading public is going to quietly let you get away with this sordid attempt at blatant misinformation.

Again, respect yourself!

Whites still travel to Egypt for tourism despite records of deliberate attacks on tourist by religious fanatics, hence it's not an absolute as you are trying to make it sound about safety.

The problem with Tinapa is not more than mismanagement. The question is, should it be left to rot because of your claims # bolded?

slowice:


Sometimes we fail to realize that Nigerians are very poor and lately, more and more people have been thrown into poverty.

It's part of reason companies fold up and leave the economy in a haste. The businesses that service the poor are managing to stay afloat.
In south Africa for example, you will hear that they have over 2000 spars outlets, 1500 kfcs, 2000 domino pizza... Some provinces have over 50 outlets and they are flourishing. Here, we have less than 50 spar outlets etc in the entire country, some state have none while supposedly rich state like Lagos has less than 6. These are signs abject poverty and none performing economy.

Lol have you ever been to Buruj Al-Arab in Dubai? Do you know how westerners travel just to visit the LUXURIOUS 7star hotel, Buruj Al-Arab? You think tourist travel all the way to Dubai to see their streets?! What about Egypt? It's the Pyramids. My point is, there is a center of attraction that calls for invitation.

Tinapa was mismanaged.

When a country is poor, the focus is on productive industries and services.

Poor people want to work themselves out of poverty; hence, investment technology parks are more important than resort parks. I spent some time in Vietnam in the 1990s and noticed how private and government resources were dedicated to factories and farming and less investment in entertainment.

geokay777:

Looking at the map you uploaded to justify your claim that Calabar is a South Eastern City or town just amplified your ignorance on the geographical location of states in your own country , for the following reason.
1) that Calabar Municipal /city where Tinapa resort is located is just one of the local GOVERNMENT in Crossriver State that is located in the southern part of the state itself.That's why we have Northern Crossriver and Southern Crossriver
2)that Calabar municipality is not actually captured by entire blue area of your reference map and it's actual location falls within the lower part of your cross depicting South-Southern states
3) that your reference map is not fit for the purpose of this discussion as states are mainly defined Geographically divided or classified based on their shared boundaries with other states or boundary with natural features such as water bodies.

TEYA:

Where in the whole wide world have you ever seen any people doing serious tourism business with the aim of attracting only its people? Tinapa's travails have nothing to do with Nigeria's poverty. Tinapa was stolen to death and if this governor likes, let him not sell it to serious investors, his successors will still steal it to oblivion!
