This is the picture of 
James Akeem Anago-Osho as he tour guide an International tourist at the  Lekki Conservation Centre, Lagos, Nigeria in 1998 and this picture exemplifies consistency as he still tour his clientelles across his areas of specialization. He still practices his tour guide trade and he seems to be ageless.

According to him, the real tourism practitioners or tourist guides are characterized by patience and passion for work. It is important to remember how the journey began for Anago and appreciate the frusterations, dedication and passion for hard work. 

To pursue a career in tourism management or become a professional tour guide requires patience and passion.

To judge from the glossy front cover of tourism magazines or tourism documentaries, the profession looks interesting and fun, but do not get me wrong, the profession is fun but do not judge a book by it's cover. The financial ganin will come and accumulate only when the tourism enthusiasts is consistent, exemplifies integrity, and does it's duties judiciously. 

Anago Osho believe that anyone who does not love books and research has no future in the industry. Education is important and key. His methods are characterized by traveling, anthropology, ethnography, archeology, and social studies. The knowledge of these subjects will add to the enthusiasts knowledge. 

Tour guiding and heritage management need continuous training by the practitioners.
