The recent passing of televangelist TB Joshua has sparked a conversation about the future of tourism in Nigeria. Former presidential aide and activist Reno Omokri has suggested that Nollywood could play a critical role in promoting the country positively and attracting more visitors.
In a tweet that has gone viral, Omokri emphasized that TB Joshua was the primary reason why tourists visited Lagos, with Nollywood coming in second. With Joshua’s demise, Omokri believes that Nollywood has an opportunity to fill the void and showcase the beauty of Nigeria to the world.
However, Omokri highlighted the negative portrayal of Nigeria in the recently released series “Gangs of Lagos” and emphasized the importance of promoting the country positively. He stressed that if tourism and foreign investment dry up, Nollywood would also suffer a significant setback.
