How come it is taller than Ibadan's cocoa house that has 25 floors?

How's the hotel connected to Tinubu? Spill it.

I-B.:
Awesome.

Not every building is of the same height.

This is nice. We need to start dotting our skylines with skyscrapers.

Btw, who owns the hotel?

I-B.:
Awesome.

^^^I think reference is being made to 'Hotels'.

Because the cocoa house is not an hotel. It says west Africa's tallest hotel.

That brings me to the question, what's the tallest building in NIgeria?

who else if not Ahmed Bola Tinubu

I thought they said he owned Oriental hotel. How can one person own two different hotels in the same city.

Awesome.

I think the British company, InterContinental Hotels Group plc., owns it.

They have similar structures in over 60 countries.

Is the hotel located at Ozumba Mbadiwe?

Nice edifice!

It could also be a franchise of the Intercontinental Hotels Group owned by a Nigerian.

Your Ibadan building needs some nice anti-corrosive paint.

Glad to see Cocoa House still standing tall.

Why are you guys so averse to doing even the most basic of research in this information age? Simply amazing. When they say the black man loves to bask in ignorance we will be sanctimoniously angry.

Never that - I don't think so.

It seems this is their first hotel in Nigeria and I doubt they would want to franchise the name just to anyone outside their conglomerate. Name and branding is very important in business.

The primary aim of a businessman is to make money. He wouldn't build an hotel in Aba for sentimental reasons, would he?

is Hilton Hotel owned by Hilton Group in the US? Same with Sheraton and other hotels. It may be a franchise bought by a Nigerian with the same standards as the Intercontinental Hotel group.

What has Aba got to do with this topic or my comment?

Hotels do it a lot but their franchise is usually very expensive.

What has building two hotels in one city got to do with anything?

You're jumping the gun. Read the previous comments to understand why that came up.

Nice building!

The architecture looks stunning and different from most of the other skyscrapers in Nigeria.

We need to get the Lagos skyline to look like Hong Kong.

No, I read you like a book, my friend.

Most skyscrapers in Nigeria are ugly. We don't have an eye for aesthetics. Have you seen the Sheraton hotel building in Abuja? it's as ugly as they come. This one is a breadth of fresh air.
