The naira-to-dollar rate can't stop good vibes

Hey there,
The economy of the country is biting hard, and it’s so easy to get into the flow of complaining about how inflation is high, dollar exchange rates have skyrocketed, and generally, the living conditions are abysmal.
But gratitude is a must. It’s important to take stock of your life and count your blessings as much as possible. You still have a job or business, a roof over your head, family and friends, and most importantly, you are alive.
When there’s life, there is hope and a reason to turn up. So if anyone asks you why you are seeking fun activities in a drab economy, tell them it’s because you are alive and life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured.
Let’s get into this weekend’s festivities:
