    ‘Development of domestic tourism ‘ll boost economy’

    For tourism to contribute meaningfully to the economic development of the nation, there is urgent need to expand the domestic market by creating linkages within Nigeria and the neighbouring countries, including East of Africa.

    The Chairman, Tourism Group of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Larry Segun-Lean, who made this remark, said tourism would also promote the cultural heritage by using destination, marketing plan and operation, as well as providing opportunity for investors and other stakeholders in the industry.

    “We have to create linkages, destinations in the country.All the hotels and restaurants at the moment work independent of one another, but we need to bring everybody together so that when a visitor comes whether from within or outside Nigeria, the person knows what to see, where to go and spend more time and thereby spending more money,” Segun-Lean said.

    He said it was the responsibility of the government to provide the amenities, including marketing orientation for cultural sites and monuments, as well as the promotion of cultural brands.

    Speaking with The Nation during the Pre-Centenary Celebration Lecture in Lagos, Segun-Lean challenged the government and other stakeholders to take full advantage of the use of the new technology in promoting cultural tourism by generating specific information that would give accurate description of cultural monuments, events, facilities, services and resources as obtainable in every part of the country.

    This, he said, would intensify awareness of how valuable cultural tourism is to the economy, believing it would promote understanding of cultural offer of a destination and meaning to the tourist, adding that cultural association and destination management organizations would value location, hospitality, attraction and distinction of the cultural sites.

    The theme of the lecture, which was “Promoting Cultural Tourism in Nigeria: The Past, Present and the Future”, is expected to critically analyse cultural tourism in Nigeria in the past one hundred years with a view to charting a new course for the industry in the future.

    Segu-Lean, who called for collaboration of leadership in the sub-sector, maintained that culture, if well harnessed, could change perception of a place and contribute meaningfully to the economic growth of the nation.

    The President of the chamber, Goddie Ibru, said government must put in strong measures to bring a lasting solution to the socio-economic and political problems in the country, including insecurity, inadequate infrastructure and harsh business environment to enhance tourism development.

    He further said transportation and technology are part of challenges that directly impact on the tourism industry which the government must address with urgent attention.

  • ‘International tourism receipts grew by four per cent in 2012’

    Receipts from international tourism in destinations around the world grew by four per cent in 2012 , reaching US$ 1075 billion. This growth is equal to the four per cent increase in international tourist arrivals which reached 1035 million in 2012.

    An additional US$ 219 billion was recorded in receipts from international passenger transport, bringing total exports generated by international tourism in 2012 to US$ 1.3 trillion.

    According to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, international tourism receipts hit a new record in 2012, reaching an estimated US$ 1075 billion (euro 837 billion) worldwide, up 4% in real terms, from US$ 1042 billion (euro 749 billion) in 2011.

    “It is encouraging to see that the growth in international tourist arrivals was equalled by a comparable increase in spending in spite of continued economic challenges” said UNWTO Secretary-General, Taleb Rifai.

     

     

     

  • Suntan Beach agog as LG chair hosts the less-privileged on Children’s Day

    The chairman of the Badagry West Local Council Development Area, Hon. Joseph Hontoyon Bamgbose, has dedicated himself and the local government to the welfare of the mentally challenged and the motherless children at this year’s Children’s Day celebration.

    The chairman, who treated the children of Lady Atinuke Oyindamola Memorial Home for the mentally challenged and Hephzibah Orphanage Home, both in Araromi and Opeyemi areas of the local government area respectively, at the popular Suntan Beach to a musical and special meal ,said all children were created by the same God and must be treated same way by the government, irrespective of their challenges.

    The chairman, apart from providing free transportation for the children, also organized a musical splash tagged “Suntan Beach Children’s Day Musical Splash.”

    Speaking during the celebration, the director of Konitrex Limited, the organizer of the programme, Mr. Kennedy James, said since the establishment of the resort about 13 years ago, none of the council chairmen had done such in the life of the less-privileged children in the Badagry area.

    He said: “For the first time in the history of Children’s Day celebration in the Badagry area of Lagos State, the less- privileged were able to meet with other children of the opposite condition which gave them a sense of belonging.”

    Mr. James appealed to private organizations and philanthropists to assist the less-privileged children in the two homes, particularly in the provision of medical facilities and transportation to enable them attend national and local events.

    He charged the children to see life as a challenge which must be tackled with all it deserved to make greatness out of depression.

    The administrators of the two homes, Mrs. Atinuke Oyindamola of Lady Atinuke Oyindamola Memorial Home and Miss Eka Konsit of Hephzibah Orphanage Home commended the chairman for sponsoring the programme, particularly to have specially treated the children of the homes uniquely.

    Both administrators and social workers appealed to the government to consider the plight of children in such situation and help the homes in the areas of infrastructure and regular medical attention.

    They also called on private organizations and government agencies to come to the assistance of the less-privileged.

  • She is 18 years old with no O’level so I don’t know why marriage is her priority

    I am a guy of 23 years old and in my third year in the university. My girl of 18 years old jilted me. I called her on the phone to confirm from her if she would still make it on a date that I fixed with her, but to my surprise, she told me that her husband’s people will be coming to their family house to ask for her hand in marriage. I was flabbergasted because she didn’t even give me the sign of her marriage the last time I met her, the worst is that she has changed her line. I only contact her with her sister’s number. She promised me that she will see me on 27th of last month, but she didn’t keep her promise.

    She is 18 years old with no O’level so I don’t know why marriage is her priority. I’m Gaza by name.

    Dear Gaza, why is her life your own priority? I don’t seem to get why the fact that she’s getting married is bothering you. If she were to be available for you to play with and dump later, I’m sure you wouldn’t be bothered. Her parents are involved in her marriage plans and to me that is fine. At 18, she’s ripe enough for marriage. She can go back to school and get her degree and doctorate at the appropriate time in her husband’s house. If you wanted to marry her, I’m sure she wouldn’t have slipped by your hands. I support young girls getting married and going to school from their husbands’ houses. I’m tired of seeing the troubles old maidens go through in the name of getting Mr. Right.

  • Will i remarry? Hmm…… -Toto Abuga’s widow biola

    Will i remarry? Hmm…… -Toto Abuga’s widow biola

    How has life treated you years after you lost your husband, what has been your toughest experience?

    I will say that the most interesting challenge I’ve faced is the rare experience of witnessing the drama of a mother fighting over the estate of her son. An aged mother laying claims to the property of her late son. That came as a big surprise to me and it was something I never envisaged could be my lot. That is a big challenge to me, I don’t need to tell you much about that episode, it is already a story in the public glare. That is one challenge that really surprised me and it still baffles me till this very moment.

    What has all these taught you about life generally?

    It has not changed my perception about life, it only gives me more knowledge and understanding. The experience has allowed me to understand the anatomy of man and what can make man to lose his sense of humanity or gratitude, the crave for material wealth. I will also tell you that the whole scenerio has not slowed me down. I have always been a very busy person; I never raised an issue with my mother-in-law and his brothers. So the whole thing is not an issue to me because they are the ones that raised an issue. So, that issue belongs to the person that raised the issue. It is a headache to them, it is not my headache, I don’t feel it. In Lagos, I have more than 10 properties that belong to me personally. So, why should I be bothered with their headache? I am not fighting because it is Abuga’s estate, I am just concerned about justice. I am concerned about the right thing. The need to set a good precedence. If you as a mother need your son’s estate, you don’t need to drag your daughter in-law to court. It is a simple case because we brought nothing to this world and we won’t take anything away. Even the owner of the mansion this woman is fighting for died and we didn’t bury him with the mansion. Even if you own the whole world, no one will give you the privilege to carry it to your grave. The only thing that my husband took away with him was his good name. He died a great man. That is the only legacy we can hold unto.

    The biggest lesson is for me to be closer to God and keep my relation strong with Him because, everything I have been doing is not by my might at all, it is by the glory of God, and only Him is responsible for my battles. I am sure that even my adversaries themselves would be wondering how is this girl doing it? I can tell you that it is not by my might. What I will just advise is that anybody that finds herself in my shoe should just move very close to God; be closer to God and be focused. Know what you are doing. I have gone through a whole lot of things that I cannot even share publicly. If you are very close to me, you will know what I am talking about but the struggle continues. I will never give up in prayer.

    How did you feel about the judgment?

    I felt so bad because I never expected such a judgment. I never expected that we could get such judgment because we gave them all available facts. Her Lordship saw all the facts. My father-in-law who is a principal actor in the whole case was there, even a renowned legal practitioner like Chief B.O Benson was there to say the property in question belongs to my husband and that he (Chief B.O. Benson) was the one that advised my father-in-law to put my mother-in-law’s name on the purchase ledger of that land. We also tendered a video coverage of the opening of the property which showed all invited guests that came for the opening of the property with other incontestable evidences.

    At the end of the day, I was so embarrassed with the whole thing. People kept calling me, that the court said they should throw me out of the house and everybody just kept calling me because immediately after the judgment was delivered, I had to go back to school in London and my kids also school abroad. I had to fix their school fees and all that. So, I was a bit embarrassed. I never liked the portion that said I was asked to move out of the property. I was never living there in the first place. The last time I was there was after my husband’s death. I was really angry.

    I moved out of the property a year after my husband died (2009) because we were both living in a flat in that property. We had nine flats in that property and rented out eight flats and lived in just one. It was after his demise that I completed the Magodo house and moved in, because it was our plan to move into the Magodo house, before his death. So, I was never thrown out, nobody can throw me out of where I live. This is Abuga’s house; this is where I live (Magodo) and this is where I am going to live for the rest of my life. I am raising my kids up here and I am going to be here for good.

    We hear that you are currently studying Theology in the United Kingdom, is it these problems that led you to seeking the spiritual?

    I am studying Theology and Biblical Studies at the Middlesex University. So, I am partly there and partly here. I have businesses here in Nigeria and I have my children’s education going on over there. I have been in the United Kingdom in the past 27 years; so, UK is more or less like my home. Not just a second home. In my whole life, the time I have spent in the United Kingdom is more than what I have spent in Nigeria. So, London is my home, Nigeria is my home.

    The reason why I chose to study Theology is because I wanted to move closer to God because it is very good for someone to have the fear of God. There are so many things a lot of people do not understand about the Holy Bible. I didn’t understand a lot of things before, I thought the world was a very simple place where you can accommodate everyone based on love and pure heartedness. But going to the seminary has shown me new things in Christ and how one can use the grace of God to relate with men. So, it is basically for me to be closer to God. To seek His face and let every other thing be added unto me.

    When my husband was alive, I was just a nominal Christian. Though I used to go to church, I read my Bible but not to this extent. You know it is something that pushes you into certain things in life. I think God used that challenge to take me out of my comfort zone. It is not that I wasn’t spiritual or deep when my husband was alive but you know, I was a ‘rocker,’ a happy party-loving fellow’ and my husband was a socialite and I always wanted to tag along with him. Me, too, I wanted to be on the same lane with him. But when God decides to pull you off that track, there is little you can do to stop Him.

    After five years of his demise, we learnt that you are trying to start a foundation in his name, how far have you gone with that?

    That is still on track but I can tell you that I remember my husband everyday. I remember him by praying, I pray for him every time. Despite the fact that I am a Christian, I call in Imams to do prayers on his behalf. I try to respect his beliefs just as he does mine. So, he lives on in my mind.

    How is the home front?

    God has been so generous to us and unto Him I return the gratitude. I am giving the children the best they could ever get, even when their dad is not around. So, there is no challenge concerning taking care of my children. They are the only legacy of our union and to God be the glory, He is taking care of our briefs. My kids are okay.

    And how are you coping with running the businesses?

    I have a couple a businesses I do in Nigeria right now. I have a hotel business running in Ajao estate and I have an estate management outfit. I build and sell properties. I develop properties for people. That was the business I was doing with my husband before he died. The hotel business is a new thing, I was building it when he died and today I have raised it up. I have interests in tourism, estate development and general business.

    What do you recall about your husband?

    During his life time, my husband used to celebrate, host my birthday every year. He would call in musicians and we would celebrate it as if we were doing wedding. So, I have missed that aspect of my life. Don’t even go there, don’t let me think about it, don’t let me cry. I have already vowed that I am not going to cry any more in my life. Happiness is my portion.

    It seems you are getting more and more trendy and sexy…how about re-marriage?

    Thanks for the commendation. Re-marriage is not in my dictionary. I am married to my kids. I have a long way to go with those children. Do you know my first boy Mazeed was two years old when his father passed away and the first year birthday of the second boy (Mazourq) was the second day of his demise? I wanted him to wait till June 9 but he said the call was very urgent from Lagos and that was how he left us and never returned.

    So, what marriage would I do again? I am passionately close to my children. I have four children, four happy children—two boys, two girls, Mojadesola, Jolaoluwa, Marzeed and Mazourq. So, what do I need more than happiness? I am contented with what God has given unto me. I am not ready for any marriage again.

    You now seem so deep in faith, you quote lines from the Bible and say things off head. How are you now able to do this?

    Maybe because I went in for a theological education and I am a theologian at the moment.

    Are you thinking of working for God as a pastor or church leader?

    That is not my priority, I am going to go into counselling afterwards. I am also having the theological knowledge as a person in order to help my faith life. Talking about being a church leader, if the Lord permits, I can be going around to minister to souls, especially widows and young couples on how to sustain a happy home with Christ. I don’t have a plan to have a church of my own except God says so. If there is a call, I won’t be able to run from it. But right now, I can’t say I have that calling. I will rather use the experience and my new knowledge as a theologian to develop people in terms of their marriage and spiritual life.

    Between being religious and being spiritual, which one is the best?

    With my new knowledge as a theologian, I think it is good to be spiritual. The Bible says some call me Lord but their heart is very far from me. If you are religious, you can add so many things to it. Your heart may be very far from God and yet you go to church every Sunday and to mosque every Friday. But if you are spiritual, then you can easily connect with your God. However, spirituality is in two ways as well. You know, some people are spiritual for the pure reason of serving God, while some are spiritual for the reason of serving their father-the devil. Here I am talking about being spiritual for God and serving Him righteously.

    It is said that it is when you are in trouble that you discover your true friends, did you experience anything like that?

    Quite a lot. They know themselves because at times, you think you have a friend and that friend is not just your friend. Until certain things crop up that reality hits you, that is when you know who is your friend. I have left everything for God, everybody that has disappointed me I have left for God because there is no way you will plant okro and reap corn. Whatever you sow, you will reap. I have left all my adversaries for God because I am not in a position to judge anybody.

    So, I don’t have enemies. Everyone is a friend; even my mother-in-law is not my enemy because I really loved my husband and she was the one who gave birth to him. so, she is my friend; she is not my enemy.

    Can you ever forgive your mother-in-law for all she did to you and befriend her again?

    Ah, ah, sebi mama will forever be alive. Of course I can always forgive. You know I love my husband and I can do anything for his sake. Apart from that, I have lovely children for them and we are such a big family. We are still one family, so forgiveness is an understatement. I have forgiven her as a Christian.

    You sound so philosophical and mature about life, is that the new you?

    No, I have always been like this o. If you are very close to me, you will know that I have always been like this. You know a lot of people that didn’t know me, once they come closer to me, they do say ‘oh, you are really different from the Biola we often hear about’. So, you are this nice, you are this generous, you are this spiritual and all that. I counsel young couples, even though I have not completed the course, I counsel people. That is me. I will be completing my course next year October by God’s grace. It is a three year programme. It a B.A. Theology and Biblical Studies.

  • My hubby has not slept with me for almost 4 years

    I just read your column now. Please what do I do to slim down a little, especially my tummy? My hubby has not slept with me for almost 4 years and I have a 4 year old son for him, please what can I do? I’d love to get your reply please.

    This is a serious problem. If my husband failed to touch me for four weeks without any of us being away on a journey, I’ll or on a spiritual exercise, I’d call him to a roundtable and discuss this. Have you done that? Four years? You must be kidding. But in case this is true, there are possible reasons why men do not want sex. Yes, women can go for months or years in sexless marriages but it is not normal. So, let’s take a look at some of the reasons:

    He is depressed: When a man gets depressed he may not feel like he wants to have sex: This can happen to a man, especially if they have lost their job or are going through financial difficulties, this can lower their libido. Many times a man’s ego is tied into his career. He may be feeling down because he feels he can no longer provide for his family, or is somehow less of a man.

    There is also clinical depression and if a husband is taking medication some drugs will decrease a man’s desire for sex. The other side effect is not being able to release during sex. When this happens it can cause him to develop performance anxiety. There are certainly side effects listed on many anti-depressant medications stating that it can lower libido and make it more difficult to ejaculate. Since men have their genitals front and center not being able to perform or having control over their penis can create anxiety, not wanting to let down their spouse sexuality. Some women are not sensitive to this and take it personally as though their husbands are no attracted to them…

    He is no longer attracted to his wife: You claim to have a big tummy.

    Get into a gym now or let me deal with that next week on this column about how to lose tummy fat. There are some men whose wives gain and they go off sex because of that. I remember one of my male friends refusing to touch his wife for years because according to him, ‘he can’t climb a mountain’. Men are much more visual than women when it comes to sex. A woman not taking care of herself and gaining weight may subconsciously tell her husband that she no longer cares enough about him to look good for her man. Even if a woman puts on a few pounds it is the way that she takes care of herself that matters, still taking the time to put on make-up or dress up for him on occasion. Some women after having children just let themselves go, not taking the time to look nice for their husbands or even for themselves. Feeling sexy or good about oneself is an important part of sexuality and radiating that to your partner will make him feel more attracted to her. A marriage is about two people working together and helping each other out to stay fit and healthy. If a wife does have a weight problem then her husband should try and help to motivate her to lose the weight instead of possibly punishing her by not having sex with her anymore, this in fact will only aggravate the situation even more. Couples who encourage each other positively when coming to weight gain issues or appearance have a much better sex life when done in a positive way.

    He may be having an affair: If a husband suddenly does not want to have sex with his wife and she suspects that he may be cheating on her then he probably is. A woman’s intuition is always her best friend.

    Some men are able to cheat and then come home to their wife and continue to have sex with her. As a man gets older, his sex drive may not be what it used to be, so he will not want sex as much. He may want to save having sex for his lover instead of his wife. Cheating can be a result of many issues that get unresolved in a couple’s marriage. Men cheat for different reasons, but one of the most common reasons is to feel masculine again, to have a woman make him feel good about himself.

     

  • Family government

    Dear Reader,

    With great joy and happiness, I bring God’s Word your way today. I want you to be rest assured that God is going to visit you this month. All through this month, via the Word of God, I will be sharing with you, Family Government.

    A family is a group of people affiliated by blood or marriage. It is the nucleus of the Church and a nation. It is the fundamental social group in a society, typically consisting of a man and woman (known as husband and wife) and their offspring.

    The family can be likened to an organization involving two or more people, having certain rules controlling it. Family affairs must be directed and controlled by the individuals involved, or else there will be chaos and lack of peace.

    However, the individuals concerned have different roles and duties to carry out. Ignorance of this, is one of the reasons why most families lack success and fulfillment.

    This month, I will be teaching on the various responsibilities and duties that are to be discharged, by the individuals involved in the family government. This week, I will like to begin by discussing the responsibilities of the man.

    The man is the head and leader of the family. He can be likened to the “President” in his own family government. Ephesians 5:23 says: For the husband is the head of the wife, eve as Christ is the head of the Church: and He is the Saviour of the body. As the head, you are leader. Just as most of the blessings of successful leadership are first poured on you, so also, the blame and consequence of an unsuccessful leadership, will first and foremost be suffered by you. God sees you as the overall head of the family, and will hold you responsible for anything that goes wrong in your family government.

    This is clear as accounted in Genesis 2:22, when God brought Eve to Adam. In fact, it was Adam that named his wife Eve, but he failed in discharging his duties as the head and leader of his family in Genesis 2:16. Consequently, he suffered dethronement in Genesis 2:23.

    If your family fails, it is your fault, and you are the one that God will question. It was Adam that God called upon, not Eve, not the devil, even when God knew that it was the devil that had deceived Eve! God has committed the government of your home into your hands and therefore, He holds you responsible. You will not make the mistake which Adam made, in Jesus’ name!

    One major key that guarantees successful leadership, as the head of your family, is the key of LOVE. That same scripture in Ephesians 5:25 says: Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the Church, and gave himself for it… and verses 27-33 says: So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church … Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself…

    As a woman, let me tell you one secret: no woman hates to be loved. When you demonstrate your love to your wife, you will be able to govern your house with ease. This love is demonstrated in words and actions, irrespective of the weaknesses of the other members of your family involved. Your love should provoke you to honour your wife.

    God’s Word in I Peter 3:7 says: Likewise, ye husbands dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that you prayers be not hindered. Honour, in this sense, means caring for her, providing financially and materially for her. Your role as the leader is not that of being selfish, maltreating, humiliating and beating your wife.

    As a father to your children, you are responsible for their training, in conjunction with your wife. Many men push this responsibility to their wives. It is supposed to be jointly done, with you as the man playing the role of training your children to grow in the fear of the Lord, like Jonadad did in Jeremiah 35:14, 18-19. You will definitely partake of whatever your child becomes in future, whether good or bad.

    Therefore, your office as the head and leader in the family government, is not that of a ‘dictator’’ or ‘oppressor’ but that of living up to the responsibilities of loving and providing for the welfare of your family as commanded by God.

    You are the driver of the vehicle of your family. You occupy a strategic position that can influence and determine what the lives of all the other members of your family will be like. You must live up to this expectation, so that God will not regret making you the head of your home!

    God is the author of family and your efforts outside His help will be tasking, except you accept Him through His Son Jesus Christ and become born again. Being born again opens you up to God’s help. He, alone, will release unto you the knowledge and wisdom from an understanding of His Word that will guarantee your success as a leader of your family government.

    If you will like to be born again now, please say this prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today. I am a sinner. I cannot help myself. Forgive me of my sins and cleanse me with Your blood. Deliver me from sin and satan, to serve the living God. I believe You died for me and on the third day, You rose that I might be justified. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Make me a child of God today. Thank You for accepting me into Your Kingdom”.

    Congratulations, you are now born again! I believe that you will begin to experience the reality of the price that Jesus paid for your sins at Calvary. All-round rest and peace are guaranteed you, in Jesus’ Name!
