FUN for LESS, Vol. 1
Five Fun Dates

Here are some cool things to do in Lagos for fun
without breaking the bank and putting a deep
hole in your pockets. The list is endless!

T
here's so much exciting news! From Tiwa Savage's
grand traditional wedding, to the Donjazzy vs Wande
Coal twitter charade, Mariah Carey's sneak-visit to
Lagos for Access Bank party and of course, the sad news of the
South Africa Legend Nelson Mandela passing away. Phew!
A little bird tells me Donjazzy and D'banj are getting back
together. Toke Makinwa is single again! It's so sad to hear her
12-year old relationship with Maje Ayida hit the rocks. But I
thought she said they were already engaged? Confused? Us
too.
Then, of course, there's the latest Open letter charade
supposedly sent from Iyabo Obasanjo to her father, exposing his
misdeeds. On the positive side, did you know our very own
novelist Chimamanda Adichie got featured in Beyonce's newly
released surprise album? Now you know!
Go on an Ice Cream date alone or with friends.
It is inexpensive and relaxing.
You could get some really nice tasty ice creams for
less than N1000 and also get one of the finest
personalized ice cream experiences. Give it a try.

Buy or rent a DVD, get coke and popcorn and
watch it at home.
It's fun and saves you the whooping sum of money
you shell out towards buying tickets for a movie at
cinemas.
The Curious Case of Emmy Collins
Some months ago, designer
Emmy Collins launched his
blog “Diary by Emmy“.
Anyone who follows Emmy
on twitter or has read his
previous interviews knows
that Emmy embraces the
“no-holds-barred”
approach! Since his blog
launched, he has criticized
and analyzed many of
Nigeria's top stars as well
as red carpet stylistas. Via
his blog –
www.diarybyemmy.com, Emmy has gained a new legion of
fans who appreciate the witty criticism and also another faction
of followers who have labelled him “a hater”. Recent trending
topics on his blog include “Compilation of Annie Idibia
Macaulay's many fashion atrocities“, “Story of Nigeria and the
Karaoke Singer named Tiwa Savage” and “Toni Tones
wannabes invade Lagos with the same UTTERLY HIDEOUS
costume…NO JOKES”. It is refreshing that there is now honest
criticism and analysis on the blog scene but if you're a regular
reader of his blog, you would have pondered over this
question, what is eating Emmy Collins?

of malls in the country can serve this purpose.Who
knows? You might even bump into a friend.

Spend time at the Library. Skim through fun novels
comic books or whatever interests you.

Hang out at the beach. To save money, bring a
cooler of your own food. Prepare some sandwiches,
throw in some fruit or other snacks, some drinks, a
bag of ice, and you're good to go!
