There is usually a live concert, a band or something happening there. Apart from tasty suya, you can also walk around and read about history.
3. Go to a bar for drinks
If you want to go out for the sake of it, then go to a bar for drinks with friends and enjoy each other’s company.
There is usually music playing in the background that you can vibe to. You can also buy a side dish like asun, suya or fish as a group. Try going to a karaoke bar and singing while slightly drunk.
4. Go to the beach
If your city has a beach, then you can go there! Beaches can be very relaxing, addictive and quite cheap to visit. Everything’s better with friends, so go as a group. Budget about N5000 inclusive of transport, feeding and gate fee.
5. Go to the cinema
If you don’t mind the holiday crowd, then go to the cinema. There are a several blockbuster films and new releases, so it promises to be a fun watch.
6. Go and see a live play
If there is a university in your city, the theatre arts department usually has regular plays.
Plays can be quite interesting and live-action is so vibrant.
If you live in Lagos, there are plays at Muson centre and National Theatre almost every weekend. Most of the tickets are N5000.
7. Go for a concert or live podcast recording
If you put your ears to the ground, there is usually a concert or a live podcast recording, a comedy show going on somewhere in your city. Ask around for the details. Sometimes, these events are free!
