Hey! It’s a refreshing new weekend!
We are still feeling summer vibes although its the last phase! There are still a few summer themed events you can attend. We are seriously anticipating Jollof Day *whoop! whoop!* which is on the 22nd by the way and there are already two events to prep us for the big day! Jollof day courtesy eatdrinkLagos, Maggi. We totally cant wait for Sunday when we will have the luxury of choosing from different jollof inspired delicacies.
We are also looking forward to a fantastic time with Jub trip on the 26th (next Saturday) It’s a Lagos summer hangout which will include doing exploring Lekki conservation centre (if you haven’t be there before, this is your chance) and also having a Karaoke session later on that same night at Shaunz Lounge. Talk about a wholesome time out living Lagos thoroughly. You don’t want to miss the experience. Follow me on Instagram for details on registration.
Anyway, this weekend promises to be a lot more fun than I thought we are winding down to a very lively weekend. Let no one treat you like ordinary rice this weekend, you are Jollof!
