I remembered my visit, years ago, to the excellent Kainji Games reserve, with its abundance of wild life and the Kainji Lake itself, which could have been a centre for aquatic sports. For the three days we were at the reserve, my family members were the only tourists. The Yankari Games Reserve attracts more visitors but the facilities have deteriorated and the possibility of terrorist attacks is growing.
Just a decade ago, I used to drive with my family from Abuja to a tourist resort near Kaduna Airport to spend the weekend. The resort had a nice swimming pool, a polo field and vast grounds for healthy walks. Today, I dare not drive to Kaduna because of fear of kidnappers. They have completely taken over the road in the past four years and security agencies have been unable to do anything about the situation. Their standard advice after a kidnap is reported to them is – pay up and shut up.
Maybe National theatre.
