Hello there,

This was an interesting week in Nigeria. The naira to dollar rate broke records—it was the highest it has ever been—like ever! We watched it climb higher and higher every single day. 

At this point, the exchange rate is such bad vibes, but a wise philosopher once said, ‘Problem no dey finish, try to enjoy’ Don’t let the troubles of the country bring you down. These minutes and seconds turn into months, and months turn into years. Before you know it, you’re old and grey, and all your youth was spent being frustrated with the country. You have a responsibility to make yourself happy.

How might you ask? By having ambition, achieving your dreams and goals, and making precious memories.

Want to make lasting memories? Here are our top 5 event picks for this weekend:
