The purpose of the reconnection between Africa and Africa Diaspora is family re-union and support system for each other. In the words of John Keats, from his poem "Endymion", for me, to contribute and promote the African re-union with Africa Diaspora is "a thing of beauty is a joy forever". It means that fulfilling the hope of the ancestors in reconciling the families at home and Diaspora is beautiful and beauty has the power to bring joy that lasts beyond the immediate moment. This task is divine and beyond tangible gains. Everyone on this path, either from the motherland Africa or Africa Diaspora (overseas) must understand that the purpose is true reconnection which will aide the support system for all engaging communities.  It's the desire of the ancestors to bridge the oceans. As a true ambassador of the "cause", i make it known to those who don't know that to reconnect families in Diaspora to the motherland is not a childs play. It is not busi...

Christina (41) and her mum Barbara (60) are African American tourists from Memphis, Tennesse and i was suprised and at the same time excited to learn from them that as fashionistas, they are motivated by Nigerian fashion. ' According to Christina, who is the co-owner of SMURFEY restaurant in Memphis, she watches the Nigerian show "Young, Famous and African" on NEFLIX. She watches all the fashion shows on YOUTUBE. She love Nigeria fashion the best and she said, "Nigerian fashion is innovative. It's bold. I like the colours. I like the traditional prints and the regular prints. I think it's the best". The visitors keen interest in history and  Nigerian fashion was made known from the onset so in creating the tour itinerary for the trip "the fashion experience" became a priority. Unfortunately, the Lagos Fashion Week ended a week before the visitors arrived. We missed the GTCO Fashion Weekend by a day. Again, their departure date is before the Abu...

The importance of the Post Office seems to be dwindling in many countries due to diverse methods of communication but the Post Office is still a sacred place to some of us. I usually add it to my tour itinerary when ever i have tourists/visitors that are stamp collectors or lovers of history and antiques. A post office is a public facility and a retailer that provides mail services, such as accepting letters and parcels, providing post office boxes, and selling postage stamps, packaging, and stationery. Post offices may offer additional services, which vary by country.  During the week i was able to help the Post office sell many post cards, stamps and old stamps were brought out for the stamp collectors in the group. For some of us the Post Office also reminds us of the "Pen-Pal era" when we regularly write to each other, via postal mail.  Pen pals or Pen friends are usually strangers whose relationship is based primarily, or even solely, on their exchange of letters. Le...

The Badagry Diaspora Festival is rooted in the experience characterized by culture and historical connection to continental Africa by Africa Diaspora. It's a sign of the unflinching acceptance of families in Diaspora by Nigeria. The uniqueness of Badagry Diaspora Festival and the Door of Return project exhumes from a place of determination, purpose and divineness. The consistency and determination of purpose despite all odds are dexterous. Despite the efforts to disconnect the root from the branches, unprecedented consciousness, cultural and divine energy continues to work in individuals and groups of people back home in the motherland and in Africa Diaspora with the objective of uniting disconnected families across the Atlantic.  According to Hon. (Mrs) Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO, Nigerians In Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), during a joint Press Conference at Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre Alausa, Lagos says the 2023, 4th Edition of Badagry Door Of Return Festival scheduled to ho...

There had been stable increase in the consumption of rice in Nigeria for hundreds of years and this was the major reason for the evolvements of diverse methods of cooking the meal. According to the research work of Hardcastle J.E.Y. in 1959, "Rice (Oryza glaberrima Steud) is indigenous to Nigeria and has been cultivated for the past 3,500 years. He continued that the earliest cultivation of improved rice varieties (O. sativa L.) started in about 1890 with the introduction of upland varieties to the high forest zone in Western Nigeria" and this research was supported by Atanda O.A. in 1978. There are different methods of cooking rice across the world, but where ever Jollof rice is mentioned, Nigeria and Ghana readily comes to mind. Why is this so?  As there are varieties of rice, there are also various methods of cooking it and this varies from one country to another.  There's a variety of brown rice called Ofada rice that is found in South West Nigeria. The rice got it...

  It's always a good feeling when i tour school children. At the museum and other landmarks, i usually educate and give every detail of the antiques exhibited and ever ready to answer questions.  I also sensitize the students on the importance of heritage preservation and why they must protect their heritages and culture by learning and asking questions from their parents and be prepared to uphold developmental policies when they grow up and work to be in position of authourities. School tour is about impartation for me and practical experience for the participants. Imagine how many future governors, ministers, Kings, presidents, ambassadors, local government chairman,  etc. that have been on my tours. I always leave a mark and this is part of my contribution to my generation, and beyond. #anagoosho #anagooshoadventures  #globalanagoadventures

The Lagos Blue Rail testing ride was an excellent experience and tourism professionals in Lagos state hope that the government will not recede in it's tourism master plan development and will continue to engage practitioners in it's activities. During the train ride, conversations ensued among participants as they appreciate the mega rail project and suggested that a permanent committee should be set up for the maintenance of the great landmark and hope that it will continue to engage and partner tourism professionals in it's tourism development projects. The experience shows that tourism potential in the state is unprecedented. The train ride gave ideas of other elements that could be added to tour itineraries during a Lagos city tour package. The scenery around the site of the magnificent Blue Rail terminus would endear visitors, tourists and escursionists, both domestic and international to the appreciation of the environment and Lagos as a unique state in Nigeria. It is...

Though year 2020 broke the camel's back as COVID-19 paralysed the industry and tourism and hospitality pra ctitioners became dumbfounded. It was the worst crisis in the history of the industry. It was the year of paralysis and everything in-between seems bleak. The year 2021 was like the biblical John the Baptist also known as Yahya, that prepared the way for the coming of the messiah. It ushered in year 2022 which the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) themed, Rethinking Tourism. It gave the opportunity to review and redevelop tourism. It enabled new innovation and was favourable to tourism enterpreneurs. The tenacity of tourism enterpreneurs in Nigeria and across the world should be commended.

Happy New Moon family and colleagues! As blessings are knocking on our doors, may we recognize it and may the door be opened. May love and forgiveness be our character as our countries become peaceful and the people become healthy and prosperous. Hard work don't kill. Let's support each other and not cheat one another in this new sphere. Arrogance lead to ones downfall. May humility be our clothe. May we take advantage of time and chance. May grace speak for us. Yet, enemies abound. May divine love overwhelm us all. ASE!  Ambassador Anago Osho #anagooshoadventures #globalanagoadventures
