I cannot in good conscience pay this amount for the rooms.

$1000 = N160,000. That is N50k each I can give to 3 widows in my village and their lives will change forever.

Na im I go carry go give hotel say I wan prove wetin? One day rent? Even if na person go pay for me, I no want.

To pay no be wahala...na tomorrow when your stay expires, your eyes go clear.

It does not make any sense at all.

It is not about affordability.

There was a time I would have agreed with you... But after Jesus said 'The poor you would always have with you', my reasoning changed. grin

Give to the poor and charity, I do.. But also live a little.. If you have that kind of cash flow, please treat yourself to this atleast once before you clock out.

That's why I like the bible.

Whatever decision u want to take, there is always a verse in the bible to support your position

So does it mean it is now justified to be wasteful,instead of giving it to the very needy like you once rationally thought, just because the bible said so?

Listen to your instinct,it is always the best guide.

BlackBaron: Nigerian hotels are 'states' on their own. They provide for their own water, security, pay over the odds for fast internet,electricity.

Also the cost factor of building; Our cement prices are the second highest in the world.


In fact... I was wrong we do have the highest cement prices in the world.
Profit margin of 52% for Dangote cement against a global average of 6%. The biggest Cement maker in the world makes only 18%.

A tonne of cement in Vietnam is $67/tonne. Nigerians pay $263/tonne.

Now you understand why the American state department cabled reports that were leaked called Dangote a man who "beggars his country" .

100Cents:

This looks like a N25,000 discounted room in Transcorp Metropolitan, calabar.

Fine room with 4 neat towels and excess of amenities like soaps, mouth wash, cream and perfume...

Not forgeting that it contains two beds...

exactly.
