Why partying in Lagos is not for the faint-hearted

Last Saturday, I went to an all-night party and ended up with serious waist pain, making me realise I’m not 21 anymore.

The contrast between going out in your early 20s versus your late 20s or 30s is striking. Your alcohol tolerance decreases, and your body feels the aftermath more intensely.

If you organise a party, please have seats for everyone, not just VIPs! Some of us have weak knees and fragile waists.

Anyway! I go again this weekend! Let’s see what's happening outside:

Friday

1. Amapiano District

Amapiano no dey give breakfast according to Nigerian hypemen. Dance amapiano and forget your sorrows at 17th Avenue, Rafiat Ayinke Tinubu Close, Lekki.
