Oops! A few minutes late this week! I just made it back from adventures on the West Coast, to bring you this fresh edition…

Easter weekend is upon us, and its going to be jam packed with good times!

The weather forecast for the week ahead ain’t looking so great, but you know the rain usually gets cancelled at the last minute around here. Incase it doesn’t, I’ve compiled a list below, of how to make the most of average weather in Lagos.

Some of this weeks highlights include:

  • 📱Social media workshop

  • 👚 a clothing swap

  • 🛹 Wake park opening market, party, skate jam & more

  • 🐰 Easter Sunday party, full of live bands & DJs

Remember: Be someone you would want to hang out with
