'Seven Wonders of Nigeria'

-
First, it’s the Obudu Mountain Resort, Cross River State. Then comes the Idanre Hills, Ondo State, the Sukur Kingdom, Adamawa State, the Kano Walls, Kano State, the Benin Moats, Edo State, and the Osun Groove, Osogbo, Osun State. Don’t forget the National War Museum, Umuahia, Abia State.
 
These cultural sites were chosen by the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation through a committee. The NTDC is set to market tourism destinations across the country. According to the NTDC Director General, Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, these seven sites will be accorded special consideration given their unique features as endorsed by voters of the project, Naija 7 Wonders.
 
The committee headed by Mr. Ikechi Uko, informed Otunba Runsewe, during a visit to the tourism village, Abuja, that the essence of the project was to promote tourism in Nigeria and instill national pride in Nigerians.
 
Mr. Ikechi further explained the essence of the project noting that it commenced about two years ago with the aim of promoting tourism while reeling out an endless list of tourism destinations in Nigeria amongst which the top seven emerged through an exhaustive voting procedure adopted by the project committee which is made up of individuals from all the geo-political zones in Nigeria.
 
Also the promoter of AKWAABA, an African travel market held in Lagos annually, Ikechi Uko maintained that amongst all the destinations in Nigeria, only Obudu Ranch Resort, which has the longest cable car in Africa, boasts world class facilities wishing that other tourism destinations would replicate such too.
 
Thanking Otunba Runsewe for his understanding, support and advice in the course of executing the project, he said the initial fear was that government would interfere in choosing the sites but that was not the case as the committee was allowed the leverage to do its job.
 A Wall 1
Meanwhile, the NTDC chief lauded the project team saying its efforts complementted the practical-based approach to tourism development NTDC had adopted from inception hence the positive collaboration between both parties.
 
Runsewe averred that the seven wonders of tourism in Nigeria was a reawakening call to further advance the tourism destinations to the world and made a call for everyone to support such noble ventures as demonstrated by the project Naija 7 wonders.

Bobbi Kristina died on Sunday age 22 six months after she was found face down and unresponsive in the bath-tub of the Roswell, Georgia, home she shared with then boyfriend, Nick Gordon, 25. Gordon is now a person of interest to investigators attempting to piece together the events that led to Bobbi Kristina’s untimely death. But according to TMZ, he has still written to Bobbi Kristina’s father and Pat Houston begging for permission to attend the funeral service. The email states: ‘I loved Krissi with all my heart and I am destroyed that she is gone and I need to say goodbye. ‘Krissi loved me very much and she would want me there’. The chances of him being accepted by the family are, however, slim to none. The Houston family has slapped him with a $10million lawsuit alleging that he abused her and stole her money while she was in a medically induced coma. While Gordon has been a figure of controversy with Bobby Brown banning him first from his daughter’s hospital bedsi...

    Christen had an alarming wake-up call one day about the toll that technology was taking on her life -- and her family. "I realized several years ago that I had stopped looking in my children's eyes," the HopeLab President and CEO said at a Huffington Post panel at Ad Week on Tuesday . "And it was shocking to me." Christen's "a-ha" moment was an alarming one, but it's more common than you might think -- and it points toward a larger, and often undiscussed, byproduct of excessive screen time. The decline of eye contact is well-documented , and as we spend more and more of our time staring at screens, there's less time left over to look into people's eyes -- including the eyes of the people we care about most. Between staring at computers during the work day and regularly gazing down at our phones, Americans spending more time with their eyes glued to their screens than ever before. According to recent estimates , ...
