This thread was inspired by the lady who shared her experience a while ago about the heat she experienced all night in Surulere.

I had a similar experience some years back when I went to Makurdi on a routine check to supervise a project. I got to Makurdi late, so was going through the modern market road when I saw a beautiful hotel, I quickly checked in, good structure, nice furniture, neat environment and security men on standby just to mention few.

As I was being lead to my room, I saw beautiful ladies descending the steps chattering and singing, at that point I gave a sigh of relief that I'm in the right place.
My room was much spacious And every necessary gadgets for a standard room was in place with good smell. when I was left alone, i checked everywhere as thats a normal routine to avoid story that touch the heart, then later Checked into the rest room and got refreshed.

Without wasting much time, my trauma began when I tried calling the kitchen and I discovered the intercom wasn't connected, well I decided I should seize that opportunity to go on sight seeing of the environment. I really did survey the area and relaxed in some cool spot where I took 2 bottles of my usual beer and a plate of noodles as dinner.

Then i retired back to my hotel around 10pm, was I in the wrong place? The compound was dark and quiet like mortuary, I came down and ask the securities personels why there was no light, they were just mumbling inaudible things, I just left them and headed for the reception visibly angry with the aid of my phone camera to vent my anger on the receptionist. Alas, everywhere was empty and no receptionist in sight, no voice to atleast give me succor that rapture hasn't taken place.

Well, I retired back into my microwaved room, tried to open the window and realized there was no net, I ain't risking invasion of mosquitoes, I prefer heat to mosquito bite, I quickly close the window. Went to the rest room to take a shower. Alas, no water , which kind wahala be this? See how I take use my hand buy trouble! I was lost in thought when the tune of mosquito jeered me back to reality.

Okay I've had enough, I wore my clothes, carried my bag and headed downstairs, it was almost 11pm at this point, I ordered the securities to open the gate, I realized they didn't even bulge, I repeated same command, Oga abeg open gate make I comot, no response. Now several thoughts started running through my mind, what if this place is a ritualist den in disguise, if I start screaming who will come to my aid as it was obvious I was the only guest that night. I was still deep in thought when the voice came, Oga no vex, we no go open this gate for you as its late already and this area is very dangerous to drive at night.

I bolted back into my room with trepidation, locked the door with every available locks attached to it, I pushed the chair at the back of the door and ready for whoever that will come to say I should open. I started praying silently and reflecting on how I found myself in this avoidable mess. That was the longest night of my life as I was up all night sweating and mosquitoes feasting on my blood.

Moral of the story: Not all that glitter is gold, always endeavour to look before leaping!

Epon ojuku hotel, ozubulu had better service

This reminds me when I travelled for an interview and had to sleep over in a guest house. All I heard all night from the next room was kpai-kpai-kpai

Ashawo no be work o

Storytime, Bedtime

How much you pay?

Would it do you any harm if you told us the name of this hotel?

It's nothing, the hotel wouldn't have wasted there fuel or diesel on you there only customer for the night so chill! Next time ask around Before lodging in a hotel

Buharis days are numbered

Isoright

Since you didnt tell us the name of the hotel, your story becomes null and void.

Hope no HIV from there

What do you expect from a place like makurdi, na only HIV plenty for that side.

Lol

You went to Benue glorified village and you're expecting a Sheraton treatment?Have you been to their laison office in Abuja?It's like a mortuary.Try enter their toilet and you realize that even roaches can have thick laps.

If not for ND oil,Benue state,Kogi and some core northern state should be used as quarantine facilities to test strange outbreaks.

If you can survive in naija then you can survive anywhere in the world.

It’s like the first man to lie in this world came from Nigeria.

Naija, we live by formats.

Name of the hotel and where is it located.

I just dey look you

This story get comma inside ooo, how come when you lodged into the hotel you didnt notice the missing net and windows, how can a hotel be beautiful in the day and suddenly at night has no facilities.

The girls that were singing on the stairs when you first entered, how come they were no longer there again. Maybe the generator became faulty and the lights went off hence the sudden appearance of mosquitoes. cos this your story get K leg oooooo.

Love the illustrative write up and the writing skill..but I refuse to believe the hotel is as u said cos how u describe the hotel negates your experience may just be all this normal guest house littered in makurdi.well thank God u were not hurt
