why would someone live in a hotel when he can obviously rent an apartment for himself.
could it be the blood money issues we hear about in movies?
meanwhile, he has all this money and he cannot give the judge small something to do wedding for his son. And they say he is a philanthropist

With between N80m - N100m he could have owned a duplex in VI/Lekki Phase 1 that will still earn him money on rents when he decides to relocate . . .employed his cooks and stewards and lived a quiet life . . .when u have so much money and don't know what to do with it. . .what u get is the Eko Hotel treatment !

Princepioneer:
This Chief sef.. All the money used in paying for hotel suite for 6 years should have been used to build a special well furnished guest house of his own..

Amadioha02:
poverty talk. seems you didn't read the article. he is a business man. You don't host your business partners, have international conference at your home,do you?

Okuda:


point of correction. no legal business of any man would take care of his 6years expenses in a hotel of that magnitude. you cannot ball like that on a legal source of income except you have decided to go bankrupt at one point.

PassingShot:
Your properties worth N400m are being held for accusation of owing N18m, why not just pay the N18m and move on?

That's what I'd do if found in that situation. No need making trouble where I can avoid it.

Osidazz19:
Rubbish developer story. He sounds like a fraudster to me. Too many made up fabricated stories.
The food poisoning story is a known fraudsters attempt to not pay their hits bills.
There's way more to this story than what he's stating here.

Jabioro:
He takes him nothing to sponsor his son wedding,with staggering 2m it will goes a long way for the wedding.Why not a house or rented apartment why would a normal fellow converted five star hotel to be his house..We are living in insane country..

Mazikic:

Poverty talk!

Bros hustle o!

executive12:
You paid Eko Hotels #20m Check which they returned because, according to you, you don't owe them. Then they turn around to seize your fleet of cars worth #400m because they claim you owe them #18m. Will it not be better to pay them the #18m, retrieve your properties and then sue them to recover your #18m if you really don't owe them?
This is only one side of the story and it does not make sense.
Moreover, I don't trust a Nigerian businessman that will make a very expensive hotel like Eko Hotels his permanent address, probably paying more than #200,000 every day for 6 years. Most rich Nigerians don't like paying their debts.
Just pay your debt and retrieve your cars and go and buy property for your permanent address. Stop living like a fraudster.

Bashmantech:
He gave them 20m cheque while he was owing 18m. What else do they want??

Let's meet in court.

But why judge no wan hear the case??

Let me drop something here...

While I agree on some level, staying at a hotel is wastage but on some level, and I say on some level, it is very convenient, thus by the pocket of the person that decides to make a hotel an abode, economical.

Take into cognizance diesel to power generators (not our kain 10 kVA o - I'm talking Mikano and the like), support staff to ensure conveniences to his taste are maintained, security concerns... Some people find it an absolute bore and since they can afford it and find it readily available, why not.

Surely, these features are obtainable in some quarters but also bear in mind he may have a horde of guests he prefers to host outside his property as it is not out of place for such a man to have tasteful real estate.

Let me not lie to you, when you are netting like a N10,000,000 and above a day on the average and very possibly legally too, most of the 'commentators' here go shift talk in support.

A one-time boss stayed at same hotel for a year on his own bill and he is into clean business...

Adenuga, on exile stayed at Burj in Dubai for months if not years on end... He would often summon his executives to meetings there and at about every 6 months call for about N300m for his bills - that was convenient for him especially security wise. Just an example.
