2024 has undeniably been the year for the couples and real lovers. Every Eke market day, couples on the internet have made it a point to make the necks of single people their podium. But single people can finally fight back today.
Your period of single-ness shouldn’t be spent pining and “God When”-ing for a partner. Granted, today is Monday so work may not allow you to go all out today, but pick a day this week to treat yourself!
Here are five fun things you can do to celebrate Singles’ Day in Lagos without breaking the bank.
1. Indulge in a little Monday Pick-Me-Up
Since it’s the start of the week, you can cosplay as a serious and responsible individual by grabbing some coffee. Nigeria is also as hot as an industrial oven right now, so it may be best to get a decadent iced coffee instead of a piping hot cup. We can recommend an iced coffee from Milk and Honey Lagos.
2. Go and play
A number of us crave the simplicity of playtime as a child. Running around with your friends on the playground is a feeling from your childhood that is unmatched. Now, you can thankfully buy the experience with your adult money! You and your friends can head down to Upbeat Center, a large indoor playground for adults to have a great time jumping in foam pits, on trampolines and for joy!
3. Get your Robin Hood on!
If you want a physical activity that also needs technical skill, you can try going to an archery range to shoot at targets. It’s an activity you can do alone or with friends, plus you can imagine yourself as Hawkeye while you launch the arrows. You can go to Zen Archery to start your archery career as soon as possible.
4. Chill at the beach
Summer is only over when we say it’s over. Combat the heat wave and celebrate by taking a beach day. The gentle waves, fresh seaside air and a cool drink on the beach are sure to spark some joy for you this week.
5. Scream for ice cream
What is the perfect cap to the day if not some smooth, delicious ice cream? Give yourself a sweet little treat because you deserve it. It’s not easy being hot and single in Lagos. You can get some ice cream at your nearest supermarket, or you can get exotic and go for these frozen ice cream rolls. Either way, you’re going to have yourself a time.
