How Much Is Pure Water In Your Area?🥲
Hi there,
I stay on the mainland, so I buy a bag of water for ₦500. Remember when it used to be ₦100 or less? Those good old days when ₦1,000 could get you a decent meal and change to spare.
Now it’s constant calculations for even the basics. Chicken or turkey? Public transport or Uber? That new outfit you keep telling the vendor “maybe next month”? Even hanging out with friends or a quick weekend trip now feels like a luxury instead of a simple joy.
Adulting is hard, maybe harder now, but you still have to live. Save all you want, inflation isn’t going anywhere. Work all week, but you still need to breathe. Because all work and no play makes… well, you know the rest.
Here are a few events worth stepping out for this weekend. Pick one, and let yourself live a little.
Friday
 | 1. TELLTALES Bamboo Lounge, Yaba | 9:00 PM | ₦8,000 Stories, laughter, and the kind of confessions that only come out after the second drink. TELLTALES turns a Friday night into a memory you and your friends will still be quoting in the GC next month. |
 | 2. BACKYARD: GLOW IN THE DARK Mantra Lagos, VI | 10:00 PM | ₦8,200 Neon lights, dark corners, and music that keeps you moving till the glow sticks fade. This is not your regular Friday night. |
 | 3. PLUTO MANIA FEST LAGOS Athena Beach Lagos, Oba Elegushi Beach, Lekki | 5:00 PM | ₦7,500 Beach breeze, summer takeover energy, and music from Pluto Republik President that makes you forget your worries. Arrive early for the best view. |
 | 4. MONOCHROMA VII Undisclosed | 10:00 PM | ₦10,500 You get the location after you get your ticket, but trust; Monochroma is always worth the mystery. Dress the theme, expect the unexpected. |
 | 5. NOSTALGIA The Vault Social House, VI | 8:00 PM | ₦7,700 From old-school hits to the kind of dance moves you forgot you had, NOSTALGIA is a rewind button you’ll actually enjoy pressing. |
SATURDAY
 | 6. LAGOS COMIC CON 2025 Landmark Events Centre, Oniru, VI | 10:00 AM | ₦5,000 Superheroes, anime icons, and gamers under one roof. Whether you’re cosplaying or just here for the merch and panels, this is Nigeria’s ultimate pop culture playground. |
