VISIT TO AMERICA, EUROPE OR NIGERIA?
Hi great friends, i trust you're having a great time. I know many are still try to come to terms with the sudden price decline of crypto. However, the saying that no condition is permanent couldn't come handy at a better time than now. Just before writing this post, i stumbled at a great post that i think everyone on this platform should see, short and simple but very strong message. Tittled COME FOR THE REWARDS, STAY FOR THE COMMUNITY by @pasaift- a reminder that passion (not money) should be the ultimate drive of everyone here.
That been said, let's get down to business real quick.
Introducing
Are you wondering where my tour has taken me this time? Perharps Miami beach?, Bahamas?, or maybe some cosy beach in Europe? Well, i'm sorry to disappoint you.
I hereby present to you the world famous Ibeno beach.

Location.
Located in Ibeno LGA of Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria, yes you heard right... Nigeria.
This beach is said to be the longest sand beach in West Africa, stretching over 30 kilometers from Ibeno to James Town along the Atlantic coastline of Akwa Ibom State.

The beautiful and endless white sand dunes extends for as far as your eyes can see, thereby providing variety of natural recreation facilities for tourists such as- beach soccer, volley ball, water sporting as well as general boating.

First occupied by Ibeno tribe around 1200-1500BC, making it one of the oldest beaches in West Africa.

This beautiful coastline beach has a lot of historical significance as it was the landing point for one of the most successful christian missions in Nigeria- the Qua Iboe christian mission from Scotland which arrived in the early 20th century.

It is also wothy to mention that Ibeno plays host to Qua Iboe terminal (QIT) of one of the major oil companies in Nigeria- Exxon Mobil, and as such the heavy security patrols around the area makes the beach relatively safe.

Unfortunately though, this magnificent beach still lacks the desired attention.
No befitting resorts for tourists to relax, and so on.
Another reason that calls for concern for tourism in the beautiful country called Nigeria.
An investment in this sector won't be a bad idea Or what do you think?
Many thanks for being with me today. See you next time
