Oja Africa is Tourism Icon, Otunba Wanle Akinboboye's Tourism product of the week! Oja Africa according to him, was created to enhance the African continent's free trade agreement, which was itself created, "to make sure that we are able to trade without any barrier between the 54 African countries." The agreement created an opportunity for goods from all African countries to be available for the entire world to patronise. Furthermore, the idea of 'Oja Africa' is to make sure that we create an African Trade centre, whereby we all can come to the same spot to collect goods from all over Africa without hassles, without having to buy visas or expensive travel tickets all over Africa, or go through horrendous road transport from one African country to another. "So, as our tourism product for the week, Oja Africa, the African Market is to be replicated in as many destinations as possible, so that people can come to a central point and buy first, our culture....

I had woken up to the cool fresh air that sipped through the Lagos lagoon through one of the semi closed windows of the luxury home I slept at La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort at Ibeju-lekki. Upon opening the door, behold the lagoon was before me. I had actually slept the whole of the night, on top of the lagoon! Wow! I tried to see through the view hidden under the grew early morning dew, the deep greenery of the trees and vegetation surround...
