I recently paid a month visit to Nigeria over the summer, and I must say I had alot more fun than I thought I would. I visited many places and stayed also in several hotels, at the expence of my mum! :-). But one hotel that did make an impression on me was the Motel Benin Plaza, which I must say is just as good as any hotel you would find in England.
Rooms:
They have several room options, from the basic single room to your very own bungalow. Unsure of which room I wanted to stay in I requested to check every single room they had on offer.
The single bedroom was quaint but quite small for me and my mum to obviously share, but if anyone does go to visit on their own I'm sure they would love it as it looked so comfortable and had a calming atmosphere. With one single bed and a television, also with a shower and toilet and built ...

A while back Angelique Kidjo played a concert in Warsaw and one of my students was raving about her as she said she met and spoke to her fans individually after the concert for a considerable time and makes beautiful music.
I'd actually never heard of her but realised that I actually had one of her cd's as part of a larger package I had bought for resale. Aye by Angelique Kidjo is supposedly said to be her best album and it was released in 1994 on the Fontana Island label. I was pretty disappointed, it wasn't what I expected at all.
