chinaman666: Me? Nothing. It's up to indigenous Africans, not an expat/immigrant (haven't decided) like me. I know that were it to be the case in China, that European hold such sway in the economy, it would be unacceptable to the Chinese people.

Suggest how you expect the indigenous Africans to get it back from them.

[size=15pt]damn¡ qirls are crazy|[/size][/quote]It is because most Nigeria girls are poor in making conversations and this one seems to be mixed with religious brainwash.

igbo2011: 1. Yes America started the trouble in Syria.

How?

igbo2011: 2. GEJ is obeying America as in what thoth said: "Like Devaluing the Naira, removing subsidies, sacking government workforce, privatizing public institutions at peanut prices to western exploitative and destructive multi-nationals , Transferring the Data Collected during the ID card registration to US and Britain in the name of fighting terrorism, Turning a blind eye to the destruction of his Ijaw homeland by British and American Oil companies and even repressing his people who dares speak out, publicly and unashamedly lending support to western intervention in African affairs and violent overthrow of African leaders bypassing African Organizations like AU( cases: Gbagbo and Gaddafi) in fact GEJ is a Moronic Zombie American Puppet with no conscience."

Prove.

Monicasque: u should not have made moves on her when u visited her and u guys where maybe supposed to meet at a public place and not private movies , dinner etc. She does like u but she does not want u to see her as cheap as jumpin to bed would be something else

What utter rubbish!

Get your notebook and pen out and learn some courtship manners.

- Never invite a guy you are flirting with to your house to sleepover if you have no interest in sex.

- If for some unbelievable reasons, you feel the need to invite such a guy to sleep over, then broach the sex issue head on by telling him in advance during the invite that there would be no sex because ....... and let him acknowledge he understands.

Then you will not have a situation like this where you look like a reetarded and jejune schmuck because you want to prove you are chaste.

The lesson is how mature, cultured and sane girls would manage issues in a respectable way.

pasqal09: Fear of marrying an unfaithful person, its one tin to cheat in a relationship, its another in to cheat in marriage. If I'm cheated on in marriage, I'm might commit murder.
Also, fear of the enormous responsiblities of maintaining a family, bills, school fees.... And shit. I see what my uncle goes thru and its SCARY!!!

You need your head checked if you commit murder because someone cheated on you.

No one is worth such a hassle.

igbo2011: Yes AMerica and their western allies are causing thousands of deaths and bringing hell to Syria. Destablizing the country. Goodluck obeys whatever Obama and his corporate masters tell him.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkamZg68jpk

That does not answer my question. Here are the questions I asked you:

So they are the ones that started the trouble in Syria?

What is GEJ obeying?

chinaman666: All those white Europeans on Africa's richest list make it clear that colonialism has never left this continent. If it has, those who made their fortune from the legacy of colonialism wouldn't've been able to keep their ill-begotten wealth.

How are you going to get it back from them?

igbo2011: Syria treatment as in fund terror groups in order to overthrow a leader. Right now Goodluck is obeying America and not going his own way. He is a good puppet. If he doesn't obey and tries to be like Gadaffi, Mugabe and Bashir then Nigeria will get hell brought towards it. America might fund Boko Haram and MEND to start a ivil war to kill thousands of people. America has a history of doing this.

So they are the ones that started the trouble in Syria?

What is GEJ obeying?

AjanleKoko: Surprising to read this from a consultant .

The people who build these hotels are working with a business plan, you know. They're not likely to base their ROI on perception or sentimental value. Besides, the case for hotels like this in Nigeria is based on projected demand. More than 1,000 hotel rooms are projected to be added in Lagos alone over the next 5 years, as the economy expands. And these hotels are mostly populated by foreigners/visitors visiting Nigeria on business. Usually they base the prices on market conditions. Hotels with similar classification in the Ikoyi/VI axis go for between $350-600 for a standard room.

Ah, ah! Oga, that is EXACTLY what I am saying.

A choice of price that reflects their perceived quality. They are applying market-reference pricing because the market prices are favourable.

It is not a cost-plus margin pricing, so cost is not determining the price.

AjanleKoko: To build and operate a hotel like this in Nigeria will be subject to many multiples the same CAPEX it will cost to build in the US. Most if not all of the building material (save maybe cement and sand) will be imported, and hence subject to inflated duties. Labour costs will be on the high side, as you probably don't have too many local architects or construction engineers with the experience and expertise required. Since this is an Indian-led project, I am sure there will be some serious corner-cutting on this project.

And then there's the OPEX. Cost of powering the place for 24 hours (PHCN just will not scale for large developments like this!), providing the services required to run the hotel, importation of all importables, etc. Oddly-enough, they'll probably save the most money on wages
Ironically, I doubt any of these hotels are ever 100% occupied. But the cost provision will have to be the same nonetheless.

I don't think to build would be the same as anywhere in the West because land for these kind of hotels in city centres in the West are more expensive. There is no way land can be as expensive in VI as it is in Downtown New York abi for my side in London, Mayfair.

Na lie o. Na Peckham council flat I dey live in o.

I am sure to import such goods can't be that expensive considering the network amongst government officials the owners and stakeholders would have. Nigeria only frustrates the poor people that have no contact and powers, not the powerful people.

My arsse was sweating TWO AND THE HALF WHOLE fcking hours at Muritala Mohammed WITHOUT AC, waiting for my luggage. Tokunbo Afikuyomi that was on the same plane with me, had left probably two hours earlier.

https://www.nairaland.com/1051990/rick-ross-hold-me-back/2#12238300

And still, customs and immigration wan obtain me before I leave. Ko ni daa fun gbogbo won (E no go better for all of them)!

I think construction cost, by and large would be the same because it is a pyramid. All the extra cost for foreign expertise (the apex of the pyramid) would be countered by lower pay for labourers. A construction labourer in London would easily be making over £30K for this project. I don't think the Rabius and Kamorus would make up to even N3m a year. And these labourers are the mass employees at the bottom of the pyramid.

Maybe more cost on the build side in terms of building additional infrastructure for self-provision of amenities.

It is to operate that would make the price high. And I would assume that relates more to electricity.

Removing that, run rate for the hotel annually should be less than the West. With Electricity cost, then the price might be above or on par. They can manage this using futures options to buy diesel.

You are spot on on the fact that occupancy rates would be lower, so they maximise price to even it out. That is one other key determinant of the high price.

AjanleKoko: If you think hotels are expensive in Nigeria . . . try Luanda, Angola. . $600 is a very good price for a hotel out there

I know.

The most expensive city in Africa.

That is also due to low supply vs demand.

The place has only been out of war for about a decade, so there are not many options or many alternatives for people demanding it during their fast growth.

AjanleKoko: Personally I think the sheer number of projects in Lagos will force down the price sooner or later. There's a Marriot being built, the Eko is renovating aggressively, and there's Federal Palace, and The Avenu, as well as Radisson. Not forgetting the myriad of nondescript boutique hotels all over the place. There must be at least a hundred of these 20-30 room hotels all over the place, like 3 on every street in VI.

Though I suspect those who charge premium will hold out for as long as possible, like the fellas who have built serviced apartments all over the Island. These flats are largely unoccupied, with vacancy rates of up to 70%, as reported in one real estate magazine. But there's always the possibility of some boom, somehow, and a surge of new money. That always happens. After all there are close to 20m people in Lagos

On point.

Supply and demand. Supply is rising. If customers play them against each other considering the information that would be available to them, then prices will fall.

70%? When you steal money and no work for your money, you can afford to let assets not generate money for you na.

Wicked and selfish arseholes like that need their lives destroyed.

Take the job just for the purpose of getting him sacked. So when he goes looking for a job, he would hopefully meet people like himself.

Sike: The one I'm facing now is the shi. Imagine a supervisor in Wapco cement Lafarge in Ewekoro telling me he'd be collecting 10% of my salary every month before he could help me secure a job, s casual one for that matter.

Why don't you take the job, then report him?

This law is really targeted mostly at people from poorer EU and third world countries coming in for better healthcare for free and overloading the system, so they made sure they only asked students for a token fee.

Scun: This is obviously a stunt by his party. The man and his party are inconsequential, they are just trying to raise awareness and get sympathy votes too.

Ah! Hunting time!

So, person, how do you know this?

You pulled the "fact" out of your arsse?

Jarus: Rubbish. We all innocently make comments like these from time to time.

It's pure co-incidence.

If I die today (God, i don't want to die now o), going through my last facebook or nairaland posts or sms to friends/family, you can easily find something to describe as 'premonitory'.

That is rubbish.

The day you say it and something unfortunate happens within a period close to that day, it is because you know it or because of what you said.

All the others you have said were just a joke or failed attempts at sorcery.

Don't you have an education ni? Dem no teach you "Iyana-Ipaja Polytechnique" proofing ni?

eddiebruk: Enough reason to know that the whole thing was spiritual, and that those who died were used for sacrifice, he must have been paid and knew what was going to happen.

Yay!!!

FACTS!

Product of a failed education system.
