Sometime in the first quarter of this year (2014), I booked a reservation online, because I wanted to use the weekend to work on my relationship with my girlfriend since we were both going through a rough patch at the time. You see, my job was very demanding. Lots of trips outside Lagos and it was a long distance relationship at the time. She was based in Enugu. So you see, I booked this hotel in Festac and on the check-in date, I discovered that the hotel had been closed down months ago for renovation. Needless to say, I was furious! It was raining heavily and we were both under the r‎ain with no other plan in mind. It was a very wet and drenched duo who eventually settled in at a remote location where we laughed over it all and the period turned out to be very fruitful. We got engaged on October 7. To be fair to Hotel booking website , they made attempts to remedy the situation‎ that same day but we had put the episode behind us. So that’s my story. Was this story funny?

Depending on what means of transport you are using to Abuja. Yes Abuja is generally expensive but you can get by if you know your way! You can lodge for the night at ABC terminal in Utako area of Abuja for instance or the ECWA Guest House in Wuse 2 -less than 10k if rates havent changed. If not for the fuel scarcity, you can get drop taxi for N300-600 to any of these and other cheap accommodation within Abuja. This link below is an old chat but the guest houses/hotels mentioned are still the most affordable.
