oga if I curse President Buhari say he dey mad, he suppose curse me back or waka he way.. It is wrong for him to use force. He should be a servant leader not a Lord

ChrisKels:
If this is who you truly are in real person, then, I pity the people around you. You are so devoid of integrity.

If you were smart enough, and had any integrity in you, you would have asked yourself what warranted such outburst, what argument did Andrew have with Seun that made him address Seun the way he did? You are this kinda person that breeds evil and always eager to sow a seed of discord between two.

haha..
mr. knowledgeable.. local champ

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.

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.

forgiveness:
Past glory. We are talking about 2018. It's better because infrastructures are considered before giving that award.

Now, it suffices to say, Nigeria would have been in the better position to host the AFCON if we bidded for it.

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.

forgiveness:
They didn't win it 2018.

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.

Press CenterThe African Hotel Report 2017 - Nigerian Hotels are the most valuable on the African mainland
Published 09 October 2017


Nigerian hotels are the most valuable hotels on the African mainland, according to the African Hotel Report 2017 that will be released at the Africa Hotel Investment Forum in Kigali tomorrow. 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 only the Seychelles and Mauritius, according to David Harper of Hotels Partners Africa, the report’s author. 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. “This report shows that the hotel industry in Africa is still a very good investment, despite the cyclical nature of the property market. However, good advice is vital to help ensure you make the most of this very promising investment opportunity and avoid some of the potential pitfalls that can ensnare the less experienced hotel investor”.

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 tourist.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.

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

forgiveness:
What year did transcorp Hilton hotel win the luxury city hotel category award you posted?

WOW... omo u sabi lie o. I guess others can search Luxury Hotel Awards and be the judge

forgiveness:
No Egyptian hotel won in 2018. Hard fact.

Cairo Airport won it in 2017 for "its continuous efforts to heighten the airport’s safety procedures" (TAKE NOTE).
The awards is given in reference to improvement. It's not necessarily an award for the best in safety. Let me say it for the last time.

That does not mean, you are now better than Cairo Airport in 2018. You just got the recognition for your effort in improving safety. oga I don tire oh.. love truth na.

forgiveness:
Did Cairo international airport win ACI award in any category? N...O....NO.

What Nigeria has already done is what Egypt is about doing yet some people wan us to believe 0 infrastructure is in Nigeria.

Or should we change the argument to the timing of when the infrastructures were put in place? Nigeria would still lose BADLY.

They already have an automated people mover in place in Cairo Airport. And that is great. What you called a downgrade to a light rail network to the airport. Still baffles me

forgiveness:
Did Cairo international airport win ACI award in any category? N...O....NO.

What Nigeria has already done is what Egypt is about doing yet some people wan us to believe 0 infrastructure is in Nigeria.

you be pikin?.. I'm not posting another link/snapshot because I would get banned like my other moniker. you have the link. Be sincere and do a simple search. Everyone can search and see for themselves. Stop asking me to post another snapshot.

Go to the year in question on the Luxury Hotel award site, type Egypt, then type Nigeria. You can do that for 2017 as well.

Modified
You can also use the category as your search term, that would return all the hotels that won under that category. you can also use the type (e.g Continental, global etc) as your search term. Just play with it for some time and come back.

forgiveness:
How can we confirm that was 2018? The transcorp Hilton hotel award you showed was not won in 2018 rather 2018. Stop fooling us here.

I already said that was an error. when I did the search on my phone on that official site, I didn't hit return after typing "Nigeria" which produced no result. I had already corrected that mistake. I'm not relying on google but the official site. accept the truth and let the devil be ashamed

forgiveness:
You are still relying on Google that failed to show you Fraser suites hotel won the award in the GLOBAL category. It has failed you again. Give it up.

hahahaha. Closing your eyes to the clear fact. Why don't u post all your snapshots of the Abuja ACI awards let's read the description. I wish you loved the truth. Unfortunately...


Go back to the luxury award link and do a simple search under 2018 awards search "Egypt"

forgiveness:
I have done hence my conclusion. They don't have. Prove me wrong with captions of 2018 written boldly on whatever snapshot you get on those hotels.


Oga! If you don't know mellow. ACI safety award is one and Abuja international airport won it ahead of Cairo international airport in 2018. Meaning, it's better than Cairo international airport dwelling on past glory. Accept this fact and move on. Chikena!

what? Luxury Hotel Awards that I just sent you a snapshot of? 4 Continental Awards in 2018!

If you are talking about World Travel Awards, I had just said Egyptian hotels got the most nominations covering more categories than any Nigerian hotel. Even in the more general category of "Africa's Leading Hotel" an Egyptian hotel got a mention. We won in the business category. And that's it.. I already posted the list. Stop pretending.

forgiveness:
All those hotel didn't win anything in hotel categories in 2018 save spa and restaurants. Nothing.

You mean even with the link I gave you, you couldn't do a simple search with "Egypt" under 2018 awards?

The ACI award was given to Cairo International airport for the same reason -- the strides you have made in improving safety measures. I could be better than you in safety, but I was in the same place the previous year. just because you made drastic improvement from your previous state you can be given the award. Just a little bit of sincerity on your part will end this discussion.

forgiveness:
Show me. I know Egypt 'hotel' didn't win any of those awards in 2018 else show me. Like you said, anything 2017 down na past glory.

For your information, Safety award is one. Winning it means the best in safety. Currently, Abuja international airport is better than Cairo international airport. Fact.

We are not talking about past glory here.

Let me help you Mr. forgiveness before you go to sleep. NONE

Oga Forgiveness. This is 2018 not 2017. and it's regional award not continental or global. Just one regional out of Egypt's 4 Continental award in 2018. wahala dey o

This is 2018.
Four continental award recognitions. How many did Nigerian Hotel get in the same year?

forgiveness:
Wake me up when they win one in 2018. *Yawn* I am trying to catch some sleep.

forgiveness do a simple google search ACI awards Cairo International Airport. Read very carefully why this award is given and get it for once.

Cc Utonwanne (our cheering spectator)

Let me give you more reason to insult me Mr. Forgiveness since u don't like the mention of Ghana.

Firstly let me correct my previous post. The first snapshot is the awards for 2017, which returned six results for Nigeria, not zero as I earlier erroneously said.
Take note of your Fraser Suites -- the global award for the category of "LUXURY BUSINESS SERVICED APARTMENTS" (pretty specific category)

The second snapshot for same year 2017, which returned many results, I used the search word, "LUXURY BUSINESS HOTEL", a category Fraser also won, but country award (not regional, not continental, not global) and noticed a hotel in Ghana beat them to that in the continent. How about that? Same hotel!
