Anywhere I go, I try to understand the economy, Enjoy their food and culture. I don't drink. I talk to the locals to understand how things work. In Cyprus, I found out one of their main export is Halloumi cheese. It tastes just like the WARA they bring from Ilu Oke, the Oke Ogun 
area of Oyo state, which Oke Iho is part of. Halloumi is goat cheese, the farmers call it White Gold. The global market for halloumi is circa $222 million. I am sure Nigeria can tap into that market massively and put forex income in people's pockets.
Tourism. Gambia and Cape Verde are making more money from tourism because people find the secure and safe. I know British friends that spend £2000 a year on holiday to these places.We need to improve our security. When I was in Spain. I struck a conversation with the woman that
cleans my room. I left her a tip, she will put rose flowers on the bed. I found out she had a car. Mama Brother Kayode (bless her) was the afole (cleaner) at our place back then in Lagos. How come she has to work so hard to send her kids to school. She can't dream of a car.
That is Nigeria for you. We have a lot of work to do. E no easy ooo. We have to be deliberate about the microeconomics (budget constraints and opportunity set) of our people.
