THE OFFICIAL gUIDE TO A NIgErIAN STAYCATION
Vacations are overrated. Okay, maybe not really but with the economy and exchange rate being what it is these days, flying across the Atlantic, every three to six months for some r & r is not just sustainable. Except you have pockets deeper than Nigerian oil wells. Even those are not worth that much anymore these days and unless you’re completely removed from the oil cycle, this devaluing has probably affected you too. So what to do? Stay close! Never has staying within Nigerian borders been so attractive. The Buy Nigerian campaigns are endless, empowering and worth spending a buck on. But what if we told you there was a way to have an enjoyable paradise away from home experience without getting on a plane. All you really need to do is to know where to look. Think of all the merits: • You’re spending significantly less. • The money you’re spending is probably going towards service and job creation for a
Nigerian like you. • It is just a refreshing change from ice-cold airports and strange languages. So if you haven’t stopped reading yet, if you’re not scandalised at the thought of having to give up one week with Selfridges, Harrods a cab away, no hours long traffic, tuck right in, it’s just getting good! and resulting red lights while you are safely tucked away in lap and luxury. Better them than you! More Food, Best Brunch
