The new Eco currency will really liberate the French speaking African nations from economic dependency.  There were mixed feelings when President Macron of France visited Coted'voire (Ivory Coast) and announced that France will change the name of Fcefa to Eco, which will be spent in 8 french speaking countries only, deviating from the original plan of ECOWAS for the Eco currency to be spent in all Ecowas states and now France is instilling the statusquo. Some people are of the opinion that nothing will change except the name. Attention! Attention!! Brother Kemi Seba had been the voice of the youths and the voiceless in the French speaking world for quite a while.  We should be focused as we support each other and let love lead. Kemi Seba was born in France but relocated to Senegal and unfortunately was later expelled from Senegal on the command of France. Rather than go back to France, he returned to the birthplace of his parents, Benin Republic, where he could not be ...

After months of planning, the D-Day is finally here. I left Lome-Togo early to cross the border into Benin Republic to pick Gina. It was about 3hrs drive from Lome to Cotonou. Members of my team were already at the Cotonou Airport to recieve cousin Gina. It was divine and predestinated to meet Gina Corneille, a conscious sister whose objective and fulfilment in life is to one day finally repatriate to continental Africa. She reminds me of Erika Badu. Her consciousness is an aroma. You can smell it, feel it, see it because it's signage is written all over her. It was a long flight from Bangladesh where she works as a high school English teacher in the American International school. According to her, the flight was long and tiring as she had to board three aeroplanes before she finally arrived at the Beninoise Cotonou Airport. I arrived at the airport at around 11.20 a.m and Gina's flight was scheduled to arrive by 12.30 p.m. A heroes welcome was planned for her. As she eve...

Less than a year ago, I realized that the dedication to hard work as a Tour Guide has prompted other potentials in me, such as the psychological ability to understand the needs of my clients and be able to meet up with their requests and expectations, and other abilities like public speaking and research. These potentials have tremendously helped to shape how I present my narratives to the tourists/visitors. Tour guide is not a lay man’s job, it is an art that requires good knowledge and understanding. The earnest desire to satisfy my tourists travel or special needs, created a marketing niche and promotion for me. My niche is referrals which I get constantly. Such memorable tours which I give usually establish an impression on the mind of my tourists. According to some visitors who had been on my tours, especially historical and cultural tours, it had been asserted that my narratives and passion for history are unconsciously re-enacting the past in the present. To them, their tour...

The journey into tourism for Anago James Akeem Osho, began at a tender age. It was the combination of love for books, history, folktales, nature and travels with his father, brother and a country that inspired him. He grew up reading tourism magazines, adventure books, travelling and listening to Yoruba lores from his grandmother at Ebute Metta. The African past, world history and culture appeals to him. His works today are aimed at teaching history, Social Science, re-enacting the positive past, rediscovering tourism potential communities, sites and preserving the environment and historic heritage. His knowledge of international tourism through Malaysia became his model and actually paved the way for his foundation and faith in the posibility of utopia in the African tourism industry.

As West African countries prepare to adopt the new unifying single currency called Eco, i realized that people have different opinion on the matter but for regional unity, development and easy transactions between West African businesses, I support the idea. It will also help countries with huge inflation. Business will boom drastically as trade or transactions across West will become easy. It will unite the countries and everyone will have a sense of brotherhood. Eco currency across West Africa will liberate the French speaking countries from the pang and control of France. It is unfortunate that the French speaking African countries don't have their own central bank or reserve, everything is organized from Paris. For many years, France had kicked against French speaking West Africans from been a part of this. Eco currency is good news and travellers won't think of the hardship of how to change currency from one country to another in West Africa. It saves time and energy...
