It seems to be a hard time for the Brits as they are still figuring out how to survive the coming winter without gas supply through Gazprom, their Queen also passed on.

There have been rising energy bills of households in Europe resulting from the embargo on Russian oil as well as Russia turning off the gas supply to Europe due to, as it claimed, maintenance issues.

To make matters worse, China which has been shoring up millions of cbic litres of LNG from Russia has found itself battling with excess and storage problems. This is because of the zero covid policy of the country which has seen many Chinese forced to stay 24hrs at home thereby factories which would have used the gas for manufacturing remained shut. China is now reselling this excess gas to Europe at three to four times the cost price, making a helluva profit in the process. This has also contributed adversely to the increase in energy costs in Europe.

Now a company has come out to offer some solution to the brits:

With rising energy bills, spending the winter in UK may cost as much as 20 usd daily in energy costs. Meanwhile living this period in other warmer European countries will cost a household 10 usd daily. So why not travel to one of these European countries, Spain for example, for winter?

The company promises to help prospective patrons to organise flight tickets and accommodation

"A UK company is encouraging travellers to book a winter holiday to avoid high energy bills. Eric Njoka tells you how the spiralling energy costs have kicked off a new form of tourism."

For me, I say Nigeria would have been a wonderful destination, something which would further boost our forex earning and put the country in the world map, but the myopic reasoning of some political dealers who call themselves leaders have turned this country into a no go enclave. A place where kidnapping and insecurity is the order of the day.
