MY TRIP TO LAGOS, NIGERIA

This is my first vlog/video of the year and while it was put out later than anticipated, I would like to point out that a lot of activities were not filmed because I wanted to have fun and explore the city I had been away from for 11 years. So I decided to visit Lagos because why not? I'd put off this trip for years and after I got the green light from work (early November), I planned my two-weeks vaca. I wasn't very courageous with the thought of traveling by myself. And since I didn't want my movement to be restricted, I chose not to stay with extended family as families tend to worry a lot- as they should.

Let me tell you that it was somewhat nerve-wrecking knowing that I would be in a hotel by myself, as I'd hoped and prayed no one observed and set me up or something (I've seen movies and read stories, OK? Lol). I lodged at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Victoria Island. Security was on point.

I did a lot of meet-ups with friends including those I hadn't seen in years; folks from America, and those I met within a short period. Getting from point A to B via Uber was very convenient. I spent most of my time on the island because everything was within close proximity. I got to party like a Lagosian (sort of), but I could only hang briefly because illness set in. 

When I wasn't dining at the hotel, I visited Utopia, Kilimanjaro, and The Place. I also ate once at White House restaurant in Yaba.

As far as clubbing went, I partied at Club 57, DNA, Quilox, Escape, and SIP.

Watch the recap below:

Current Faves- January 2018

Happy New Month! 

If you're new to this, Current Faves are list of songs that I like and compile to share with Nigerian/African music lovers alike. This is done monthly as songs are released, or as soon as I get wind of them.

Some of the songs on this list are shaku shaku-inspired. "Shaku shaku" is a new dance craze in Nigeria!

Mr Real- Legbegbe ft. Obadice & Idowest

Olamide- Science Student

Idowest- Shepeteri ft. Slimcase

Tiwa Savage, Reminisce, Dj Enimoney & Slimcase- Diet

Dj Ecool- Ada ft. Davido

Kidi- Odo remix ft. Davido & Mayorkun

B-Red- Connect ft. Tiwa Savage

Falz- La Fete

Soft- Tattoo ft. Davido

How's your shaku shaku looking?

Current Faves- November

As most of you know, a lot of (Nigerian) songs were released this month, perhaps in anticipation for the festive season. Unlike the usual, a lot of them were actually very pleasant to listen to.

They are as follows:

Davido- Fia

Mayorkun- Che Che

Falz- Child of the World (off his new album "27")

Simi- Joromi [this is old, but I just caught wind of it]

Rudeboy (1/2 of P-Square)- Nkenji Keke

Davido- Like Dat

The following faves are off Olamide's new album "Lagos Nawa". The vibe on this album is very different compared to my other faves: Baddest Guy Ever Liveth and Eyan Mayweather

Olamide- Bend it Over ft. Reminisce & Timaya

Olamide- Saysaymalay

Olamide- Everyday is not Christmas

Olamide- On a Must Buzz

Olamide- Shanko Baby

Olamide- Eminimomi

I am still warming up to these:
