You are a FOOLLL with a Capital 'F'. You don consult google, bah? Google don shame you so you come begin shift post. I said they OWN it, and I have cited references to that effect. They pay to use the name and OWN everything else. Every available source out there calls them the rightful owners. http://sunnewsonline.com/the-sun-awards-2016-the-winners/ , http://thenationonlineng.net/oba-otudeko-reopens-radison-blu-hotel/ But your false pride and useless Anambra ego will not allow you to come to terms with facts starring you in the face. I know it KILLS you and your ilk to think that our hoteliers are playing the game on a far more sophisticated and higher level than your local champions. You can go and hang for all I care. Taju owns Avalon International, which is like a holding company for his Protea Hotels and the recently opened Reinnassance at Ikeja. The Bad Belle and bitterness oozing from you no get part 2. You had better go back to school and refine yourself because you're too local for comfort.

How convenient, suddenly Lagos State is no longer part of south west and for the sake of your jaundiced argument it is now nation commercial centre. Lagos will always be your nightmare and Lagos will always be deployed against you guys.

Yoruba youths are the most lazy, perfidious and egoistic youths in Nigeria as at today.

Writing for Naij.com from Magodo, Lagos, Maxwell Adeyemi Adeleye says the Yoruba youths are no longer making their valuable contributions to the political and cultural life in Nigeria. What can the Yoruba people do to restore lost influence?

Lateef Raji, a public policy analyst, in an article titled

Consequently, as a concerned Nigerian, I want to question the role(s) of Yoruba youths in the current fight against unemployment, starvation and poverty in Nigeria. This question was necessitated by my discovery through indirect observations that Yoruba youths are the most lazy, perfidious and egoistic youths in Nigeria as at today.

I discovered that the pride of an average Yoruba youth has overshadowed his intellectual judiciousness, level-headedness and sagacity. Today, among ten Nigerians submitting their resumes to multinational corporations eight would be Yorubas. Folks from my generation in the Western Nigeria are too lazy to tap from the abundant opportunities that litter the streets of, say, Lagos, for primitive accumulation of wealth.

The Igbos, and, by extension, the Niger-Deltans and the Northerners have indirectly taken over the control of economy of Lagos, Nigeria’s indisputable number one centre of success, excellence and opportunities.

The Apapa wharf in Lagos has virtually been taken over by the Easterners. The data that I got from the Nigerian custom services divulges that 63% of those licensed to transact businesses in Apapa Wharf are Igbos.

More so, data collected from licensing office reveals that owners of 56% of commercial motorcycles in Lagos are Northerners and Easterners. The lucrative transport business has been hijacked from the Yorubas.

Today, the major work of average Yoruba youths on the streets of Lagos is to collect royalty, due and charges from the Hausas and Igbos, using their motorcycles to make cool cash from their land. Ninety-five percent of transport, travel and tour firms operating in Lagos are owned by the enterprising and hardworking Easterners.

The Yorubas stay at various intersections harassing hardworking people transacting their legal businesses in the name of collecting charges and dues for the local government. I also discovered that majority of the few Yorubas riding commercial motorcycles in Lagos are locally-trained automobile engineers that have abandoned their workshops.

Furthermore, the popular Ladipo and Owode motor spare parts markets in Lagos are now solidly in the hands of Igbos. As usual, the Yoruba youths are in the market collecting dues for their local government chairmen and the Iyaloja General of Lagos. Yaba, Oyigbo, Sabo, Oshodi, Agege, Alaba, Idumota, etc. markets have been taken over by the Easterners and Northerners who are predominantly youths.

Let me also assert unequivocally that the Igbo youths are now becoming more prosperous in the entertainment industry than the Yoruba youths. Today, the Yorubas hardly tune their DSTVs to the Yoruba movie channel of the satellite television; rather, they watch some other movie channel that show English movies with actors and actresses of Igbo extraction. Why? Because most Yoruba movies are short of creativity.

I can also articulate that 85% of the CEOs and executive directors of commercial banks operating in Nigeria today are Igbos and Hausas under the age of 50. They are very talented in boardroom politics, unlike their Yoruba counterparts, and they assist each other with an amazing ease.

Educationally, the Yorubas are no longer in the top-three. According to the National Universities Commission (NUC), Anambra, Imo and Enugu have the highest number of professors and doctorate degree holders in Nigeria. Ekiti and Ondo states that used to top the list have been demoted to number four and six respectively.

In 2014, the reports of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examination Council (NECO) revealed that the Yorubas have been upturned by the Easterners in terms of academic performance. Ekiti, a state known as fountain of knowledge, was number 34 in 2013.

The Yorubas are also missing in the sports sector. The Golden Eaglets, Flying Eagles, Super Eagles, Flamingoes, Falconets, Super Falcons, D'Tigers, other national teams are dominated by the Igbos and Hausas. The team that won the African Cup of Nations for Nigeria in 2013 was tagged Biafran national team by some columnists and social commentators, including myself.

Politically, the Igbos and Hausas are more united than the Yorubas. The result of the 2015 presidential election is a point of reference. The Hausas voted massively for General Buhari of the APC, while the Igbos extraordinarily voted for Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP.

Sadly, the Yorubas had no bearing during the election. Jonathan’s inner circle members are currently blaming the Yorubas for their son's expected defeat. Victorious Buhari's teammates are reportedly saying that the Yorubas contributed little or nothing to the success of their kinsman.

In conclusion, I want to impel my generation in the Western part of Nigeria to wake up and begin to act. The nation of Nigeria that I am seeing today is hemorrhaging. I suggest we put ourselves in strategic positions. The bitter truth is that our leaders only think for themselves and their children.[

I suggest we put ourselves in strategic positions. The bitter truth is that our leaders only think for themselves and their children.[

lol..If laziness is leading the ojukwus in almost all facets of life,controlling more than 60% of the economy and ojukwus' lives and SW being the 3rd economy in Africa and being the least poverty stricken in Nigeria and controlling 70% of technology..ICT,being the most educated in Nigeria,having the highest number of universities and other higher institutions,highest number of professors,doctors,lawyers,journalists etc, I would choose the alleged laziness over the alleged hardwork.
At least Esau seemed to be hardworking but perpetually under Jacob.
YORUBAS ARE JACOBS...
OJUKWUS ARE ESAUS....
AUTHENTIC FACT.

This quote right here exposes the reason why Yorubaland should be wary of these lying and incorrigible braggarts from that corridor. Their supposedly better technocrats have so far failed woefully to stem the tide of mass emigration perpetually afflicting their region and make it the envy of the rest of the country, yet dem still no humble. These parasitic loudmouths still depend on other regions [especially the SW] for economic survival owing to the non-viability of their home region, yet they just can't help themselves when it comes to their signature delusional posturing. I guess Leo Stan was right afterall about his own people.

The only do called SW state Igbos depend on is Lagos which is a nomanland.

If I go hard on you about your lack of adequate education now you will start sulking like a lil' kid. You are the one switching this moniker and your other Anambra-wateva for reasons best known to you. I don't have the time for such folly.

Now, Valentine Ozigbo DOES NOT own Transcorp (Olorogun O’tega Emerhor is the Chairman of the company) http://transcorphotelsplc.com/board-of-directors/ . FYI, CEOs are often appointed (in well-structured businesses/companies, the owner/founder often takes a backseat on the board of Directors while the board will appoint a competent CEO/MD to manage the company), so whenever you see anyone occupying that position, ensure that you factor this into consideration before going on a chest-thumping rampage about their 'ownership' of the concerned company or business. In Valentine's case, he was appointed to the position in 2011 (I've attached his wiki profile screenshot that shows that). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine_Ozigbo

Look, I understand that you are ever eager to project Anambra as the alpha and omega in every sphere of endeavor, but be guided in your efforts and ensure that you do so intelligently to save yourself and the state from avoidable embarrassments like this.

Oh my goodness. You're grasping at straws dude. You're starting to muddle things up and now shifting from Transcorp Hotel Plc to Transcorp Nigeria, an ENTIRELY SEPARATE COMPANY. Gosh, your ignorance is nauseating! Remember I warned you earlier to go about this your Anambra hype with intelligence, but unfortunately you seem to be a lost cause. Transcorp Hotel Plc, is an entirely different ENTITY from Transcorp Nigeria, that is why according to the link you cited, Elumelu is CHAIRMAN of the Transcorp Nigeria http://www.transcorpnigeria.com/our-board/. In the link I gave you of Transorp Hotel Plc, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor IS the CHAIRMAN of Transcorp Hotel Plc http://transcorphotelsplc.com/board-of-directors/ . They are TWO SEPARATE companies! Olorogun is a non-executive Director at Transcorp Nigeria, not Transcorp Hotel Plc. I wanna believe that you understood this difference from the get go but are just trying to be clever by half, but you're only making yourself look very stupid, really.

You are the one who brought up Valentine's name (an employee appointed by Transcorp hotel plc board of Directors to manage the hotel) in a conversation about OWNERS of hotels in Nigeria. The same board that hired Valentine can fire his a$$ on a whim so I don't get why you're masturbating over an appointed employee of a hotel for goodness sakes. You just keep digging yourself further into a bottomless pit with this foolishness. Dangote has countless CEOs under his several businesses and is on the board of all of them (Dangote Cement, Dangote Sugar, e.t.c all have different CEOs) yet nobody gives a flying funk about who they are as they can be replaced tomorrow (some have even been replaced a number of times without catching the public's attention coz CEOs are 'soldier go-soldier come's) while Dangote, the owner, will continue with his business regardless.

Look, you're not an intelligent chap, honestly. And I'm beginning to feel somehow about having to converse with you further sef. Your i.q is just too low for comfort, honestly.

Whoever wrote this article is a latte sipping idiot! Ogun state is economically viable than all eastern states. Secondly, the easterners have no impact whatsoever in the economic realities of Lagos state. The success of our state Is as a result of tireless work put into place by our legislative and executive arm of government for over decades. The idiot who wrote this article intentionally omitted Emefiele who has more responsibility in the woes of our economy, yet picked on Fashola whom is quite distant from formative economic policies. The brain leaking retard somehow correlates socialism as the reason why Adeosun and Fashola are 'failing'-How insane is that. When we talk about the Nigerian service or industry sector, the South west would best the east any time anyday.

Can u imagine. He even ommitted okechukwu enelamah who is the minister of trade,investment and industry and udo udoma whose decision directly affect the economy more than fashola's....yeye ppl...

https://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/list-nigerian-states-with-the-highest-number-of-5-star-hotels.115770/

The report listed the regions in the country with the highest number of hotels.

1. Lagos - 22 (1164 hotels in total)
2. Abuja - 6 (370)
3. Port Harcourt - 5 (226)
4. Ibadan - 2 (281)
5. Calabar - 1 (177)

Why is that?? ??

This is definitely my last exchange with you because you are not worth the education I've been painstakingly trying to drill into that dumb brain of yours. Both companies have separate Chairmen and Boards, one is even a PLC to underscore its designation as a separate ENTITY. You don't even need to have attended Business school (like some of us have) to grasp such simple and elementary concept about the way businesses are structured. It's obvious that you derive your worth and value as a human being in life from this ego-driven Anambra obsession, and I for one am certainly not willing to further expend any more of my precious time in a fruitless back-and-forth exchange with a hopeless case like you. Omo, gbagbe oshi.
