Ibrahimanis:
World champions back to back

https://amp.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2017/11/30/why-nigeria-produces-scrabble-champions

Hahahaha! Money de motivative our people. No wonder they winning world championship left right center.

ChrisKels:
No body ever said Aba didnt have hotels rather the discussion was that, I would rather host the players in Owerri bkus it's the home of hotels than Aba. Aba is an industrial hub unlike Owerri.

"Is buying" isnt the same thing as "has bought", which BTW was an exaggeration. Look at u crying more than the bereaved. Icon4s whose name was mentioned, understood the message and acted gentle-manly, whereas ur nosey self cudnt check ur usual puerile attitude, hence u hurriedly quoted the post claiming that u were replying to an invisible mention . Lol I know what ur aim is bkus I know u and what u represent. Lol under false pretense, u wanna bring me to talking poo about my beloved Aba while u LYFAO. Lol sorry buh u failed. Abangwa is doing well, Abriba is doing well. Abia our pride.

I will give u no more replies bkus u no follow us for dis talk. Bye bye

You are just grasping for straw to redeem yourself after shitting all over the place. I will let you off the hook.

Sai Buhari!

Danielnino00:
Even the rugby they brag about,they have never qualified for the world cup.. its only rugby sevens they are good at (never won the world cup either)

Our beloved neighbour, Ivory Coast have qualified for the tournament before but we hardly see them making noise about rugby.
Aside long distance race,Kenya don't shine in any sport... They will call us local champions, but their so called dominance of other sports doesn't extend beyond Africa either...

You are right. Kenya has never qualified for the world cup proper except for the rudgy seven world cup but they have never won it.

They are only good at camel race. That's all.

Let me chip this in. Nigeria is number one in Scrabble.

ChrisKels:
Sorry buh u have no clue watchu saying, though u probably stay in Aba with the way u delved in ystdy to claim they also have big hotels in Aba, and now this. Ur last paragraph is laughable and preposterous

Who can be more clueless for claiming Abriba people bought the whole land in nwga? Well, keep dwelling in delusion.

Aba doesn't have hotels. What they have huts and charlets.

Curtisaxel7:
Oga Forgiveness, it appears you are more committed to derailing this thread than actually discussing football related issues nowadays.

Hope you dey remember say here no be politics section?. Just saying sha.

I only replied my mention. That's all.

Besides, I think we're still going in circles here perhaps. Better no dey okro soup.

ChrisKels:
Bros Abiriba is blessed. The topography and spatiality of the land makes for a sweet bionomics with their wealth (mansions). The top lands, the valleys the vegetations so corresponds with the great architectural designs of the edifices to make that place look like a paradise. I wonder why they are this successful honestly. About the whole country, please remember Nnewi is still a town in Nigeria buh Abiriba is truly pulling weight. I really pity next generations of Ngwas (Icon4s dem), if u enter Aba, Abiriba boys dun buy virtually every piece of land there, even down to the villages of Ngwa. Ngwa just dey sell their lands give dem like mad.


Lol why do u guys like taunting us with that isi-ukwu-ato sef? Remember our babes dey fine, little wonder u rush come carry one. Ogo m ndewo.

About Uche and Kalu, those two have humility written all over them. I was so mad with Keshi when he was playing his dirty games with the brothers, especially IK.

Lol ur last paragraph sha. I be easterner through and through. Born and brought up in 042(Enugu), schooled in Abia. I actually know many places in Igbo land through relatives, friends and work. Owerri like I said was a flexing zone for me back then, Umuahia and its environs na via my mum when she was working with FMC. I should know ur villa well as an isuikwuato man though last time I came was in 2016 for one Chinagorom's burial.

Ngwa land doesn't end in Aba. Besides, what is the essence of keeping land when someone is ready to develop it?

Afterall, you must still pay taxes to the landowners of the land to develop their land which will continue to make it far economically vibrant than Abriba.

They are about to build another city called Enyimba city inside bush. Developers should come buy the land so that it can become more economically vibrant than their towns or city.

As you can see they are smarter and more industrious than what you think.

In addition, majority prefer to rather work hard and earn their money than go into....... I no talk anything

Kazikazi:
That is the bottom line

That is absolute truth.

Gbam!

Yobeezy:
Cricket,volleyball,baseball,hockey etc and they're shining at global level stages and tournaments.
There's nothing you showed me here,you just came up with personal achievements to suit your Interests.
Most of your sporting events do only prosper within the continent,just football alone is a testifier.

What do you mean by shinning at the global stages?

Did Kenya participate in Baseball world cup? Don't tell lies here.

Did Kenya win the world cup in Cricket, Volleyball, and Hockey?

If not, what are you talking about? Oh! You mean because you participated in the world cup of these sports you have achieved something.

If that be the case, let me break your heart a little. Nigeria's volleyball and Hockey teams have also participated and performed at the world cup stages.

However, we have participated and performed at global stages or tournaments in other group sports more than Kenya had ever since its existence.

Now, let me ask you this question, has Kenya ever participated in these group competitions at the world stages?

1. Badminton (Thomas cup)
2. FIBA Basketball world cup
3. FIFA Beach soccer world cup
4. FIFA Futsal World Cup
5. IHF World Handball Championship
6. World Wrestling Championships
7. World Taekwondo Championships
8. World Team Table Tennis Championship


Keep in mind that Nigeria has been there.

I don't want to add football to scare you. You know.

rvp20183:
I know. I do my research. You've smaller ports along the coast - with port harcourt mainly dealing with oil exports. The main container terminal port is Lagos port complex of Apapa & Tin Can. Now your total thoroughput is about twice kenya's 33m. That is why your GDP is about twice kenya - not 4 times.

Your real GDP is about the size of Algeria.

Again I want you to find how much South Africa ports handle or Egypt. Durban alone handle more than 2M TEUS - and whole of south africa ports - handle more than 5M TEUS annually.

Kenya -90B economy - 33M (1.3M TEUS) - Nigeria -maybe twice that from all it's ports - South Africa is 4 times (about 5M TEUS - or more than 150M tonnes).

As you can see whatever sector we consider - Nigeria is at best twice or 2.5 times bigger than Kenya - and South Africa is twice or three times bigger than Nigeria - 4 or 5 times bigger than Kenya.

If you don't like South Africa - Try EGYPT.

YOUR GDP IS SO OVERSTATED - There is no need for argument.

KENYA'S GDP IS COOKED. Imagine! Kenya's debt is half of its GDP.

I say it again. KENYA'S GDP IS COOKED

Ibrahimanis:
Yes.

Most oil refineries are built with their own on site power plants, gas powered.

Wow! That's great. Thanks

darfay:
The warri itakpe is also standard gauge

Yes, I added it to the Abuja-Kaduna standard gauge.

NairobiWalker:
Nigerians and hypocrisy is like the tongue and the teeth. Here is what the white man left for you in Lagos.

Lagos even had more highrises than Nairobi - right now we beat you like little children yet you can't stop yapping about how the white man built Nairobi for us.

You want to lie behind me.

Ibrahimanis:
Dangote refinery is going to deliver 12000mw of electricity. Think about that!

Do you mean Dangote is currently building 12000mw power plant?

rvp20182:
You took 4 years to construct 200Km railway. You were constructing 50Km of track per year. One minute you claim kenya economy is puny consisting of tea & flowers - the next you claim we have oil, gold and name it. Yes we have probably all minerals but in very minute quantities they are as good as non-existent. We have not sold single oil barrel.

You are a bloody liar. Kenya has natural minerals worth billions of dollars.

tylann:
Tell us more about our oil and gold and how much kenya earns by selling them
Our line is not overpriced stop talking lies boy
Our line is single and can do double stacking
So why construct double track while you can construct single which can do double stacking

Do you want to lie Kenya doesn't have minerals worth billions of dollars!

Nigeria has 507km railway. It's more than your 400km.

AgbariOjukwu1:
Owu Ijebu abi?

Anyhow you call it.

AgbariOjukwu1:
Lol, Bro you once claimed to be an Owu man like Amosun... But your comments about Amosun and Ogun 2019 is suggesting you may not be.

Honestly, I am an Owu by bloodline. You should know Owu are migrants. It is just that I hate cheating.

That's the main reason Amosun doesn't want the governor to come from the Ijebu area. He wants to retain the seat of power in the Egbado/Egba corridor for another 16 years so that he can achieve his aims of neglecting other areas to develop Egbaland. Is this this not what he's insinuating?

Narijoel:
Nice one from Ambode

Despite the iconic dream he had for Lagos through the Oshodi Transport Interchange. Godfatherism denied him that chance to complete what he started.

what a sad story.


I hope the incoming governor continues on the progress that has already been made by carrying out routine maintenance on those buses to avoid stories that touch.

Didn't the same Ambode abandoned the rail project?

rvp2018:
Kenya began 2018 with maiden cargo train and two passenger train on its greenfield SGR..we kept adding a train every month and as of now..we ran 30 cargo trains and 4 passenger trains daily.Ethiopia who began two years early are still on 2 or 1 train.Kenya by end of 2019 will transport 8m cargo thro sgr..25% of all cargo...and 5yrs earlier than projected.Lets not talk about Nigeria sgr...still under construction 10yrs later and whatever is operational can barely do a trip.Kenya SGR from MSA to NBO was constructed in record 3yrs..2yrs ahead of schedule...and is already 5yrs ahead of projection in the cargo its handling.Nigeria took 6yrs to construct Abuja kaduna...mere 200km..took another 2yrs to start operation and 2yrs later it has carried 900k passenger.Kenya SGR in one & half year had carried 2m passengers...6m tonnes of cargo in a year. KENYA CAN NEVER BE COMPARED TO NIGERIA OR WORSE THE LAZY NEIGHBOUR TANZANIA[b].Yes we dont have oil or gold or diamond[/b] but we make our tea & flowers count by using our brains & muscles...human capital is the greatest resource.Ethiopia already asked for 20yr extension to repay sgr..we are asking for more loans.

Liar.

Ibrahimanis:
I don't care about what you are saying. Show me your source. Like this (attached).

Nigeria's external debt is 21.5bn for 200m people compared to Kenya's 25bn for 50m so per capita you still have a lot to pay!

Hahahaha! You don finish Mr per capita with this one.

TayserMahri:
see the problem of having an English name. You thought I quoted you. Your country is so miserable that the world has to "YOU" debts and still with the Youness you have still managed to be the poverty capital of the planet. What if you had not been forgiven?

You had better pay your debt before China take over your country.

TayserMahri:
Well I dont care actually. All I care is that you lazy bones had your debt forgiven. USA, Japan, India, China, South Africa, Kenya have never had our debts forgiven because we are not foolish like you. Whatever conditions you met for forgiveness have everything to do with you being miserable and worthy of mercy.

And so? Who cares about Kenya here? Next time you don't borrow more than your country is valued. Soon, China could take over your country due to Kenya inability to pay. What can be more miserable than that? Sorry!

JoebieII:
even in the midst of the facts.

You don't know what is. Like I told you earlier, you don't know anything. Just don't go and disgrace yourself in the midst of those who know what ACI awards stands for.

JoebieII:
Check the list of ACI award categories (go to the official site) and you would discover that the safety award is not even listed.. it's a special recognition. And that is bound to change yearly. It recognizes airports that have made efforts in safety each year. it's inconsequential in this discussion.

ACI award is inconsequential because you want to prove a point. What a joke.

JoebieII:
oga. i'm using my laptop right now.. something when i dey see over and over again.. both were regional awards (2017 and 2018). i'm on the official website. no be google.

Let me add, Nigerian hotels were recognized in 6 categories for 2017.
In 2018, just one.

The same way you saw Fraser suites missing on the list.

JoebieII:
Unfortunately I won't post links for already stated reasons, but if you would conduct similar search with hotels in Egypt being your focus, you will also see great opinions.

I did not give you opinions, I gave you a report from Africa hotel Report.

JoebieII:
Transcorp won regional awards for the category luxury city hotel for both 2017 and 2018. I'm talking Luxury Hotel Awards now and both awards were REGIONAL awards, Hence the best in West Africa & Central Africa

They didn't win it 2018.

This more detailed.

NIGERIAN HOTELS ARE THE MOST VALUABLE ON THE AFRICAN MAINLAND

Tourism destination competitiveness depends on a viable recreation and hospitality facilities and for the mega trends in Africa’s hostel industry, growth is at an impressive rate with the establishments of quality services to patrons in growing number of destinations.

Competition among local and international hotel groups have led to the application of cutting edge technologies and innovation in the construction and refurbishment of hotels to meet patrons demands and attractive a good number of them.

Due to its blooming tourist attractions, the African continent is making wave in meeting hospitality demands by expanding its services in this area, providing varieties of hotel types to accommodate its heterogeneous patrons. According to the 2014 hotel pipeline report by W Hospitality Group, of the 215 hotels in the pipeline for Africa, 142 hotels (almost 70%) are in the sub-Saharan African region.

According to the African Traveller Hospitality Outlook 2015 2019 by PricewaterhouseCooper’s, an overview of how the hospitality industry in South Africa, Nigeria, Mauritius and Kenya is expected to develop over the coming years.

South Africa, Nigeria, Mauritius and Kenya have very different markets. South Africa attracts a mix of business and holiday travellers and offers a wide range of hotel classes and accommodation.

Nigeria is principally a business market with relatively little holiday tourism. Mauritius is principally a resort market with most travelers coming on holiday and where five-star hotels constitute a significant component of available rooms and total spending.

While Kenya has a mixed market, which predominately attracts tourists through its beaches and safari offerings as well as business travellers, principally to Nairobi. Growing trade between Kenya and China is supporting the business market.

In the report, Nigeria was forecast to be the fastest hotel growing market over the next five years with a projected 10.5% compound annual gain. Virtually all of that gain is expected during the latter three years of the forecast period.

As a business destination, the domestic economic climate is an important attraction in Nigeria. Though hotel market in Nigeria was adversely affected by terrorist activity in 2014 and was also hurt by the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa, Nigeria’s economy had been booming, buoyed in large part by regional and international investment, but the sharp decline in oil prices also affected the industry in the country.

However, the country’s economy is a booming one with hotel room revenue rising by 59% between 2009 and 2013. Although, when analyzed by the percentage of deals that were actually under construction, Nigeria lost its number one position and fell to number four, behind Angola, Egypt and Morocco in the Hotel Chain Development Pipeline in Africa 2016 report.

Irrespective of this, Nigeria maintained its number one position on the top 10 list for hotel deals signed, with 61 hotels and over 10,000 rooms planned. More recent is the African Hotel Report 2017 where it is noted that Nigerian hotels are the most valuable hotels on the African mainland.

Nigeria is the most significant hotel market in west Africa, with almost 6,100 branded bedrooms across 41 hotels, with 21 brands (and 14 hotel companies) represented in 9 cities. With a population of almost 192m, growing at an estimated 2.6% per annum and with the largest economy on the continent, it is unsurprising that more hotel projects (61) and more branded bedrooms (10,313) are proposed here than in any other country on the continent.

According to David Harper of Hotels Partners Africa, the report’s author, “despite the economic problems experienced by the market in recent years that have seen values fall by 16.4% in the last two years, average values are the third highest in all of Africa behind Seychelles and Mauritius”.

The hotel industry in Africa is still a very good investment, despite the cyclical nature of the property market. Investors can make the most of this very promising investment opportunity, while avoiding some of the potential pitfalls that can ensnare the less experienced hotel investor.
