Naija hotel humor.
This is something I’ve been meaning to post, but I lost the booklet I needed until now. It’s hilarious.
On my last trip to Nigeria, I experienced quite the contrast in lodging. On one end of the spectrum was the Protea Hotel Ikeja in Lagos. It’s nothing short of stunning. I stayed there on my last night there, and it was kind of a bizarre experience after living the ‘typical’ life for over three weeks. Anyway, I picked up a Protea Hotel guide and set on my way. They have an amazing portfolio of hotels. So, on with some more pics of this room.
So it turns out the folks at Protea have quite the sense of humor, all the more funny if you’ve actually experienced what they are poking fun at. Here is another hotel I stayed in on the trip. I have no idea which hotel this is, but maybe folks familiar with Owerri will know from the window shot.
Just Precious, right? :)
I was going through the Protea guide book and stumbled on one page they inserted about a fictitious property of theirs. Hilarious. Read it for yourself!
LOVE it!

lol. i just sent a link to my friend, she’ll know where this is. hilarious, my naija people. that insert was too funny.
heading to lagos after xmas. can’t wait.
LOl, those hotels are pretty standard here in Nigeria mate, only very few photographers based in Nigeria will pay to stay at hotels similar to Protea which runs some of the best hotels in Nigeria. Also trust me the hotel in Owerri, pictured above isn’t too bad, wait till you really have to shoot in a really remote town.
