Used to relax at this hotel while in Nigeria. I believe it was used in the past by notable people and teams.

Great film making, in fact I'm a film maker based in the UK and I'm covering a documentary based on a Nigerian artist trying to establish his own unique genre. I would like to get your input or even your involvement, if interested please reply.

Anyone know what the song is at the end, during the credits?

High life music is sooo deep. It was mainly about political & social situations from musicians who lived it & described Africa's place in the world. And that was when Africa was closest to becoming a Wakandan paradise! Unlike stupid Afro Beat now much of who's artists are from privileged/corrupt family backgrounds & are unwilling or uncaring to talk about such issues (when it's most needed). Every song is about touching a girl's ass these. Disappointing!! At least rap music still tries despite its own obvious shift in focus.
