FIX NIGERIA TOURISM NOW

I’m a Nigerian. But even I can’t afford to visit Nigeria in December anymore.
I just checked flights for December. From the 19th of December to the 3rd of January, British Airways is charging £10,200 for economy—and £15,400 for premium economy—for a family of four.

That’s the cost of taking my wife and two young boys to my own country. Not a private island. Not a five-star luxury cruise. Just Nigeria.

This isn’t just about the money. It’s about what we’re losing.

My wife is English. My boys are mixed-race. And I want them to know where their father comes from. I want them to taste suya from the roadside, hear the music in Lagos traffic, sit on grandma’s lap and listen to stories that aren’t on Netflix. But I can’t justify £10,000–£15,000 for a two-week trip. Can you?

Meanwhile, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda—even smaller African countries—have made tourism a serious business.
They have national carriers, subsidised flights, hotel packages, and clear diaspora strategies.

Nigeria?
No national airline. No tourism board strategy. No incentives. No price control.
Just high fares and silence.

During Detty December—the one chance we have to flood the country with diaspora love and spending—we watch tickets triple in price. Instead of encouraging us to return, we’re being priced out. Again.

So I’m asking openly:
• Where is Nigeria’s national airline?
• Where is the tourism plan?
• Why are we making it so hard for diaspora families to reconnect?
• How can our children be proud of a country they can’t afford to visit?

This isn’t just about flights. It’s about identity, culture, and future generations.

We can do better. We must do better. Because I want to come home. I want my children to know their roots. But Nigeria is making that dream feel impossible.

Fix it.
Start the airline. Build the tourism industry. Welcome us home.

Because no Nigerian family should need a second mortgage just to see their motherland.

If you are a lover of Nigeria, please share this until it gets the attention of Government.
They should do something about this.
