Fred Finn, the world’s most traveled man, is currently on a tour to Kenya.
The 79-year-old British national has visited more than 150 countries, which earned him two entries into the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s most travelled man.
Addressing reporters at Leopard Beach Hotel in Diani, Kwale County on Thursday, Finn described Kenya as the safest holiday destination to visit during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Of all the countries he has visited during the pandemic, Finn says he observed Kenyans are adhering to Covid-19 protocols more than citizens from other nations.
“I did not come here on holiday, that is why my wife is not with me. I came because whenever Kenya has a little crisis I come and say Kenya is safe,” he said
Finn, who is in the country until Monday, is scheduled to have his vaccine in December. Tourism players hailed Finn’s visit to Kenya, saying it markets the country as an ideal destination.
“When you get an endorsement from the eyes of a traveler that is likely to carry the right persuasion to the potential travelers,” said Kioko Musyoki, Leopard Beach General Manager.
In a past interview, Finn who has visited Africa over 600 times said Kenya is his favorite country while Nigeria is his worst.
“Kenya has everything, including 15,000ft mountains on the equator with snow all year round and the people are brilliant. It also has lakes like Lake Victoria which have brilliant fishing,” said Finn, who manages an orphanage in Kenya.
“Nigeria is full of conmen, I don’t like the dry climate and there are rip-offs everywhere.”
Say it loud. ‘Kenya is his…
Say it loud. ‘Kenya is his favorite country while Nigeria is his worst’.

Is this muzungu trying to divide Africans even further or is he telling the truth about the Nigerians??

Finn just bluntly told off Nigerians for being conmen and ripoffs. Hope Nigerians can soul search themselves on the world stage. Finn is hah but very true! It is good to speak the truth!!
You have nothing to hide…
You have nothing to hide when you are 79! Nigerians get your act together and shape up. Finn is just mildly telling the truth! Please don’t say this white man is crazy. He is just telling the truth to change your conman ways!
You will find the staunchest…
You will find the staunchest Christians in Nigeria, as well as the worst conmen in the world in Nigeria and beyond! Finn is precisely accurate in his assessment of Nigeria!

There are more conwomen in Nigerian than the conmen! Nikechi will empty your pockets while giving you a huge world class smiles! Guys just beware!!

Nigerians are very good story tellers (eg Chinua Achebe). But the Nigeria has also famed itself with its world class conmen/conwomen! It does not take you that long to figure that bad side out! Finn is correct; unfortunately to say the least!
..brilliant people, check!

In the US, Nigerian and…
In the US, Nigerian and Conman are interchangeable. One is equal to the other. And since we Africans who grew up in Africa don’t have an American accent, Most Nigerians in America say that they are Kenyans, because it is easy to recognize Black Africans, by accent. No one says that they are from Nigeria, because thay raises a red flag. And Kenya is the only other Country in Black Africa, with a sizable population in the US.
You said it not me! No one…
You said it not me! No one wants to be identified with Nigeria! Nigerians made a bad name for themselves in the USA for being conmen.
