The Tourism Sector in Nigeria

by Fred Nwaozor The tourism sector in Nigeria is a largely untapped yet highly promising component of the national economy. With her vast landmass, rich cultural diversity, and varied ecosystems, Nigeria possesses the natural and human resources required to build a thriving tourism industry. Tourism, if properly harnessed, can serve as a major source of revenue, employment, and international goodwill for the country. Nigeria’s cultural diversity is one of its greatest tourism assets. With over 250 ethnic groups, each with distinct languages, traditions, festivals, and cuisines, the country offers a wide range of cultural experiences. Traditional festivals such as the Argungu Fishing Festival, Osun-Osogbo Festival, Durbar Festival, and New Yam festivals attract both local and international visitors. The country is also blessed with numerous natural attractions that have strong tourism potential. These include scenic landscapes such as the Obudu Mountain Resort in Cross River ...

SHOCKER: German Nurse Admits Killing 100 Patients


 
A former nurse admitted on Tuesday, 30th October 2018 to have killed 100 patients in Germany, closing the case of the country's biggest, post-war serial killing spree.

On his first day of trial, Niels Hoegel, 41, admitted to killing 100 patients between 2000 and 2005 in northern Germany by injecting them with lethal drugs and trying to resuscitate them; an attempt that often failed.

When asked by the presiding judge, Sebastian Buehrmann if the allegations levelled against him were largely true, Mr. Hoegel simply replied "yes".

Mr. Hoegel is believed to be responsible for the death of more than 130 patients, but the cremation of more possible victims makes determining the exact number of victims nearly impossible as gathered by Rostrum's health correspondent. 

It would be recalled that Mr. Hoegel was first caught by a co-worker in 2005 when he was administering lethal drugs to a patient; a crime he received a sentence of seven years in prison in 2008.

In 2015, he was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted on two additional murder and attempted murder charges.

It's noteworthy that Mr. Hoegel’s trial is expected to end in May next year being 2019.
