After a recent breakup, I went solo to a concert and was having a blast singing and dancing. Suddenly, nature called, so I left to visit the restroom. To my surprise, I bumped into my ex at the entrance. This guy had moved on before we even broke up. He called out my name, but I RAN into the restroom, and I only came out once I was sure he had left.

Has this ever happened to you? You see someone you know and want to avoid them? I'm sure I'm not the only one. I was surprised to see him there but to be honest, It feels like we're all drawn to the same spots in Lagos.

As Easter weekend approaches, here is my pick of the top 5 events you won't run into your ex. I hope.
