- A new episode of Borderless Africa. Here, Goshers visits the famous Tinapa resort in Calabar, Cross river state, Nigeria. This continues my adventure into the Africa nations to make my voice be heard about the need for Africa to go borderless and visaless.
As i move on the continent, I also want to know Africa and everything that is in it. In terms of food, culture, lifestyle, education and all that pertains to the people I come across. Everything captured herein in this video is for the purpose of entertainment, education, and promotion.
I have compiled a lot of beautiful photos of my travels on my INSTAGRAM channel at goshers_ , do well to follow me.

Nollywood should revive this place is a beautiful place
Our leaders lack maintenance culture, government of Cross Rivers state needs to bring back this place to live
No, it's not a lack of maintenance but the selfish greedy crab in a barrel mentality that must be stopped. Deal with those matters and leave your neighbours alone so that they can thrive. People remember that your taxes paid for that and you want it. The power is in your hands.
@christiangideon7966 This comment shows how ignorant many naija people are. No wonder the country is going down the drain. No common sense to find out why Tinapa project died and even put Crossriver into massive debt. Maybe if you know you will forget about those idiats either shouting 'obidient', 'batify' or 'atikulated' and be fighting tooth and nail for restructuring. It is a shame that Crossriver government that is also crying about Tinapa like you that you are blaming.
Few are leaders , just opportunist
This is a good example of misuse of priorities, despite the foresight and ambition. When the government does not provide the enabling environment and the necessities to make a living for its people, like electricity, running water, housing and basic infrastructures, and food . It is difficult for people to appreciate and use such a huge entertainment complex, with no job and empty stomach. To make it more difficult, you have a Nigerian Government and State Governments that do not encourage tourism, then a project like this without good leadership becomes a money drain and can not survive.
I can bet you no federal minister of culture and tourism has visited here in the last 8 years to assess how this resource could be revitalised 😢😢. Cross River State government should privatise and commercialise the enterprise or get serious core investors to run it. This dream is too good to die😢😢
Why would they? Is a federal project? Were they involved in the planning and actualization of this white elephant project? The enabling environment some talk about here is education. Let's fix that first before all these unsustainable projects that have all predictably failed.
Tinapa represents the example of how our leaders are sabotaging our progress. I believe we need a serious revolution in Nigeria because I am tired of seeing all this. I am tired! Why can't Nigeria develop in a modern way and move forward? I really don't understand.
Thank you, sir.
Everything is revolution revolution. Stupid! The people are poor, and they want they want free things. How can it sustain itself? Money wasted down the drain.
I’m from Ghana 🇬🇭 and I feel the same way about this.
I hope you guys come together and demand a change.
Did you ever go visit tinapa to support the business?
@@chiefs5822 Yes blame me for project without vision. I am forced to get a shop in Tinapa because of some leader who fails somewhere. Thank you.
@@ayanidun9535you and who?😂😂😂😂 Nigeria is now moving forward in term of infrastructures,there is major construction going on accross all States ,don't let any one lie to you, the major challenge we are having right now it's inflation.
I was here for xmas in 2012...it was so beautiful just breaks my heart to see this😢
Imagine the job opportunities alone this would create …. What kind of country is this for Christ sake
This is unfortunate… thank you Gosher. This is a massive project that should have been well utilised but here we are… not even touched. Put to good use… film village, conference venue and other related uses. Why are we so wasteful and don’t have the sense of appreciation. I learnt Donald Duke built the place and subsequent governments just refused to follow it up. It’s heart breaking.
This place should be repurposed into amusement parks, entertainment, fashion and creative schools, and holiday hotels.
Donald Duke had a lofty dream and plan for Calabar. But his successors aborted that dream selfishly. I blame primarily Liyel Imoke for this rot and mess, then the garrulous petty Professor who came after him. It is sad that the succession, continuity and infrastructural sustainability model adooted in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State could not be emulated by the governors of Cross River State. What a shame to see how Calabar has stagnated since Akwa Ibom was created out of the State. Now, one can barely compare the beauty of an "abandoned mother" with that of her "progressive well-nourished daughter". Shame to Calabarians.
CRSG should do something about this place or get financial consultants to re-engineer and revive Tinapa. There is already the annual carnival which is still standing and so it could stand as a spring board to revive Tinapa as that unique destination
Thank you, Goshers. I had to share this video. This is my state. Unfortunately, They have played politics with this place, Donald left, and everything in cross river state, stoped. 😢
I can feel your pain my dear.
I’m a Ghanaian and I am hoping things will improve if we can work together
Wow! Which local government you from?
@@YalaMan01 Yala Local Government. 😅😅😅😅.
@@ayanidun9535❤❤❤❤. This place use to be the most tourist destination in Nigeria 🇳🇬, but sadly.
@@LilyOgini you see why some of us think you have a problem with yourself and live in a very dark place. This guy has posted nice videos of calabar but you never commented but this one that is not so good, here you are.
Remember visiting here 9 years ago with my dad
I weep for my country, it is such a shame that the Cross Rivers state governors that came after Gov Donald Duke decided to neglect this great vision and achievements of Duke. Shame on them. Imagine the lost job opportunities and the income this place would have been generating for the state.
This is beautiful work.
Individuals that has money should continued and maintain it for the good of the country of 🇳🇬
So all the rich people in Nigeria 🇳🇬 can’t come together and do something about this?
Dangote refinery. Ajaokuta Iron and Steel etc. It won't work if it is marvelously planned to boost the country.
I went to Tinapa in 2012.
Amazing experience😎
I stayed at the Tinapa Lakeside Resort.
It was a free tradezone.
What is needed to bring this to functional state, is to build inclusive hotels for affordable rates to attract people or build homes for diaspora, all diaspora wil be welcome from all over the world. Africans do not know value of such places to pay and make use of it, due to extreme poverty inflicted on them by crooks whom found themselves in power.
Naija!!! We hail thee.
It is fact that" there comes a pharaoh who doesnt know Jesus" We have continuity problem in Nigeria. The funniest thing is that the state still maintains the party apart Ayade that changed a party.
It's simply a misplaced priority... you build economy before establishing entertainment facilities. If this was uninterrupted electricity, it would have been patronized and be beneficial to all.
Goshers can you please tour the city of Abakaliki in Ebonyi state there in Nigeria.
Please..... 🙏🏾
Sure
Omg! If i have money i will just buy this place, it's just so beautiful 😮 Our leaders should please revive this place pleaseeeeessssss
I think funding issues hanpered the completion. The CRSG needs to revive this; maybe in phases and find a way to generate funding through private equity. I think there is also a cable car there or at Obudu cattle ranch?
After Donald Duke cross river went backwards. O remember Tinapa and the advertisement on tv then. Wow many people in our country dont like progress
Amazing
Cross river state is a beautiful state with a lot of attraction view but why all this government of the state feel less concerning about all this facilities that suppose to boost the state economy tinapa is a business center that was very attract to all the international business owners in bringing their business down here but now it has no value unless government decided to work on it
Tyler Perry could buy this location
My guy dey fear 😂😂😂😂
Please does anyone know how I can contact the tour guide in the video, he seems to know a lot about the facility and I want to visit too.
Thanks
Please government of Nigeria don't start something you won't be able to complete in order to embezzle money what a waste of money if they can't continue with the project let them sell the land to individual for development literally the project is built in a remote area
It has nothing to with the Government of Nigeria as you erroneously believe. Tinapa is owned by a subnational government called Cross River State. Blame the State Government and not the Federal Government of Nigeria.
My Cross River ✌️ Yala yu, ala kor?
I swear, we are the second to non. 😂😂. Try give updates on the new yam festival in every local government in cross river north.
One day you'll see one Governor put this place on sale. This is too good to be abandoned. How I wished this is on KADUNA STATE😊😊
I'm hrt broken
They got enough billionaires in dollars and pounds in Nigeria it would only take one person to bring this place alive
This would be a beautiful school.
Well done my brother
Am from cross river state but base in jos the coolest city, the city of tomatoes, paper, arish potatoes, apple and many goodies in Nigeria
You come only to make so unneeded statement. What have tomatoes, potatoes, etc got to do with this? You are fond of this type of thing. Jeez!
😂why make potatoes and tomatoes in Jos while Tinapa is dilapidated?
😂😂😂😂😂😂See your life outside? What has tomatoes got to do in this discussion? You see why many of you are so stupid? Instead to brag of your state, u are busy praising another state. You are not even proud of where you come from. See when the chips are down, you will understand that you are not from plateau state if you like let it be 10th generation. This also applies to all those foolish people who think SW especially Lagos is their place, when jungle mature, una go know say Nigeria is an aggregate of nations
Went there it was functional even mate Donald duke there the former governor,it a beautiful sure but don't know what happened the last time I was there
I could hear the passion in your tour guide to make this happen. The African government is a silly and wasteful entity.
So sad such an amazing huge infrastructure should be left to disappear right in front of our face. If the government can not maintain this Universal Studio , the youths can mobilize themselves at least keep the environment clean for visitors or can the government put it up for sale , just thinking loud.
What a waste of resources! Anyway, in Ghana the TINAPA is associated with a canned mackerel fish/tomato sauce. Very popular. So I had to watch this video. What does this place's name mean in Nigeria?
I am so sad
This is a state government, not Nigerian project
While rich lagonains and rich African Americans going to walt Disney world to make the white man business more richer they could be investing into this undeveloped project have our own walt Disney world
Please,tinapa should be re-establish
In America everyone dont film in Hollywood California because they got high taxes and cost of living so they go to cheaper citys and film eventually going to be like that because they already trying to tax content creators
So sad to see such fantastic facility wasting away. To think we just had a "Prof" with loud mouth do nothing about this place for 8 years is criminal. Just like Wike abandoned the mono rail in Portharcourt. Fish brains everywhere
Nigeria lacks maintenance culture, what a wastage. This park is meant to be in use 247, what a shame 😮
It's a shame maybe in the next life
Right project built at the wrong time in the wrong place, i feel like.
It wasn’t built at the wrong time. It was just mismanaged by subsequent leaders. At the time it was built, Nigeria’s economy was growing at a fast pace with many sectors coming up. Nollywood had just become the third largest film industry in the world and we were seeing global retail outlets like shoprite, SPAR etc coming in. On the other end, income was on the rise with GSM and internet technologies coming in and empowering millions of Nigerians. The timing was perfect but politics and subsequent leaders just messed it up. Same way everything in Nigeria is on a downward trajectory.
@@arinzeonugha6440 say that again ❤
@@arinzeonugha6440 Agreed🙏
Were is the right place? Lagos
@@esoftstudio3876they made you believe lagos is the only state in Nigeria too?
Who did this to us. Money wasted. No continuity, from one government to another government.
The failure of Tinapa is the result of black man greed!! When Africans build something, they want to make the money back overnight and in billions.When tinapa was busy,drawing people from everywhere,the businesses complained the rent was too high.lnstead of the government to reduce the rent,they would rather the place is abandoned. Even if they give out this place for free,the return,benefits to the state would still be enormous than letting it rundown without activities.Sometimes these investment is not about immediate return on investment but the long term benefits to the state.The people that would be visiting would spend money,buy things,stay in hotels etc.all that is income to the state not just high rent from the place that Africans only think about.Thank you.
Learn to walk and stop pulling your long legs on the floor, bad habit 😢
Waste of resources and money. The government needs to empower citizens first before all this project
White elephant,millions wasted, why not a hospital
@@EmmanuelBediako-yg8neso hospital nor dey cross river? Dumb response
Empower as how by giving them hand out? Cos tinapa nor go employ people, young creative nor go use the studio.
@@esoftstudio3876 Need more hospitals to curb the long line and delays for patients to be seen. Have you visited any of the overcrowded hospitals lately, you might respond wisely
People like you who dont understand that this is the right way to empower people by creating jobs are the ones who still discourage the completion of this project. It's not all about "we are hungry bla bla bla"
