Want to live long? Consider moving to one of these places. I can’t get enough of Elsie’s easy-to-follow photography posts. Here’s another one. This post on how sometimes in life you need take a few steps backward in order to jump forward is a truly thought-provoking one. I love nail polish so when I came…
Lily’s Apartments is a new hotel (I was told by staff that operations began in January 2012). The hotel is located on a quiet street in Gwarinpa, Abuja and is about 30 minutes drive from town so it might not be the place for you if you like to be in the thick of things….
Bora-Bora Going Places is a regular feature on this blog. It is an interview-style feature where different personalities tell us the highlights of their holidays. Enjoy it. 1. Tell us about the very first holiday you remember taking. The very first holiday I can remember taking was in the good old 80s when my…
I used to think that everyone loved travelling and going on holidays but then I interviewed someone who doesn’t like travelling. I’m paraphrasing here but she said she saw no need to go on holiday if you liked your life. In other words, if your life was great, why would you need to take…

Senegal is a French-speaking West-African country with the Atlantic Ocean lapping at its shores. It is a popular holiday destination for Europeans and Dakar, its capital, is a pretty city dotted with little cafes, bistros and boulangeries that give it a European feel. Whether you decide to stay in Dakar or not during your holiday,…
I often talk about owambes on this blog. ‘Owambe’ by the way is a Yoruba slang for party. The owambes I’ve mentioned on this blog so far have taken place in Lagos. However, recently I went to an owambe in Igbo-ora, Oyo state. Owambes usually involve food, drink, a live band, wearing traditional attire and…
When I was in university, I asked my brother why he was always so happy whenever a public holiday was announced and he said I would understand when I started working. Sadly, he was right. These days, while I love public holidays, I’m not as excited about them as I used to be – maybe…
