Afam4eva:
is Hilton Hotel owned by Hilton Group in the US? Same with Sheraton and other hotels. It may be a franchise bought by a Nigerian with the same standards as the Intercontinental Hotel group.

I believe both Hilton and Sheraton hotels were nationalised in Nigeria in the 70s/80s or something; just like BP and other companies. I stand to be corrected, though.

Aigbofa:

No, I read you like a book, my friend.

So, juxtapose your comment with what you read.

ShyM-X:

My point is, even if this hotel is owned by the global group, there's always a Nigerian interest in it no matter how small.

Afam4eva:
Hotels do it a lot but their franchise is usually very expensive.

You can't franchise a multi-national company like that. You can create a subsidiary, but I doubt they'll allow the franchising of their name especially in a "virgin" territory.

Maybe Tinubu is a major shareholder in the hotel. just saying anyway!

Afam4eva:

An interest but definitely not the owner.

It seems Awolowo had something similar with Cocacola or Pepsi, but you and I know that the Awolowo family doesn't own the company.

How can you be the largest shareholder in a company that is still new to the Nigerian market? Heck, they haven't even opened "shop" yet.

Nigerians and their ridiculous and medieval thought process. FML!!

I-B.:
Awesome.


How come it is taller than Ibadan's cocoa house that has 25 floors?

Cocoa house needs urgent care and structural assessment. I hope people are not using the place without inviting civil engineers to see if it needs repairs or structural upgrades. It looks solid though, but historical monuments should be better taken care of. The painting needs a touch up and it needs new windows.

Afam4eva:
Most skyscrapers in Nigeria are ugly. We don't have an eye for aesthetics. Have you seen the Sheraton hotel building in Abuja? it's as ugly as they come. This one is a breadth of fresh air.

Yeah, this one stands out.

I think two other skyscrapers in Lagos also look good. The one with the white horse and another one with a massive gsm mast on it.

IGBO-SON:


^^^I think reference is being made to 'Hotels'.

Okay, but it was not specified at the part I highlighted.

ShyM-X:


Your Ibadan building needs some nice corrosive paint.

Abeg, pack well jor

ShyM-X:

Glad to see Cocoa House still standing tall.

Now you are talking

I-B.:

Abeg, pack well jor

Now you are talking

Not hating on Ibadan, hun. You know I gatts 1/4 Ibadan blood flowing in my veins and I gatts love for Ibadan. Heck, I dream about amala and "see-keen" meat every night, truss. My momma is from there.

Afam,

Oi, please unban my "shymexx" handle, bruddah.

Nice infrastructure.......but all this money spent could have been used on something better. We dont need these stuff.....at least not right now.

Who's we? What's our business with what a business man chooses to do with his money?

Please allow me to diffuse the palpable tension before this thread derails into the hopeless depths of an ethno-tribal shooting match. Some quick facts:

The hotel is owned by some "Nigerianised" Indians and has nothing to do with Tinubu.

Hotels are typically a combination of real estate and management. In this case someone has invested in the building and will invite a reputable management company to manage the hotel based on agreed terms. So yes it is a tope of franchise but involves a while lot more a the building must conform to standards inside out.

Airlines (Arik Lagos London route); energy companies (power plants) and oil companies are a few other examples where an investor and operator can agree teems over am asset. Heck, the newly opened Lekki Ikoyi bridge is another Sterling example involving Lagos state & the operator.

Rest the arguments and sheath all swords!

I was right afterall

@DJtee

Utter tosh as usual. I told you to stick to the turntables but you never listened. I'm about to reply your dumb post on the other thread.

Why would you want to "diffuse" tension, when you can "defuse" it? Scrap that - yours is a case of being unable to spell correctly. I'm your nemesis!!!! I'm about to Nadal ya ar.se - light it up!!!

Afam4eva:

You're not right - the guy is just spewing tosh.

I will lodge in that hotel when i come to Naija next month but if it is more than 200 dollars a night, i will pass-bye thanks..

[quote author=Afam4eva]
Not every building is of the same height.

@topic
This is nice. We need to start dotting our skylines with skyscrapers.

Btw, who owns the hotel?[/quote
who own it ke? Jagaban of course!

yelsew80: How's the hotel connected to Tinubu? Spill it.

The edifice ls wholly owned by the Jagaban of Africa.

coolzeal: I will lodge in that hotel when i come to Naija next month but if it is more than 200 dollars a night, i will pass-bye thanks..

$600/night only, peace!

Welcome development

wwwkaycom:

$600/night only, peace!

Then as you check-out of the hotel, armed robbers will be waiting. Smh.

is like individuals are taking the lead in Nigeria instead of Government. What a country? May God help our govt

Nice structure!!!

gbanikiti: Is the hotel located at Ozumba Mbadiwe?

Nice edifice!

It's on Kofo Abayomi

I don't want to know who owns it. Please how much is the room rate I want to lounge there whenever I visit Nigeria. Also use the opportunity to withdraw my applications from the mangers if possible.

Finally, another great and defining addition to the Lagos Lagos sky land and landscape.


lol @ the usual suspects and their Tinubu obsession. Lagos is fast moving ahead and other peoples shallow concerns is Tinubu as if it matters against the economic and employment benefits the people of Lagos are getting from this wonderful investment.


Eko no baje o....

scipher: post a pic and lets see

Shut up

Anyone got an idea of their room rates/website?! Nice initiative btw, I think this fits the bill of a genuine 5-star hotel.
