By Abdulmumini Adeku.
A recent survey by the Frontline Hotel solutions Limited has revealed that the proverbial Middle class in the Nigeria society no longer exists.
In an exclusive investigation by Paedia Express Multimedia in Lagos, Nigeria, it was disclosed that apart from the front line hotels like Eko Hotels,Federal Palace,Protea Hotels,Sheraton Hotels,Best Western Hotel,Golden Tulip,Radisson Blu,Four Pont by Sheraton,Oriental Hotels among others, the other centres of hospitalities were running at a huge loss.
He disclosed that the aforementioned are able to make money from oil concerns ,government patronage ,high net worth individuals  based on a retainer ship agreement .
The source recalled that a wealthy Nigerian like Senator Arthur Nzeribe who does not have a permanent home in Lagos despite his business investments prefers to make the luxury rooms of five star hotels as his permanent abode due to personal choice.
He speaks:”aside from those big hotels ,the only other hotel that are doing well are the local brothels where prostitutes rule the waves”
“I can recall that there was a day we did a special assessment of the power supply in our hotel  and we discovered to our own dismay that we had just four hours of power supply,that same period we had to run a generator for the length of that period  and when you think of the fact that we only had one visitor all day then you do not need to be told that we had just experienced a bad turn in business”
“you know that you have to make your customer or client feel good  no matter the hurdles you are going through in business”
He added that there were several things that needed to be done by the company’s management at the moment but that they had to cut there cloths according to there size.
