Hello everyone, glad to be dropping an entry after a long while.
This article details how I will be spending $20 if given to me for a weekend treat. Twenty dollars is not a lot of money, though a lot of fun could still be done with it in a day.
At the time of writing, the twenty dollars is approximately Eight thousand three hundred and twenty-eight naira only. This amount is not enough for a weekend getaway, but it could still be used to attend to have fun at a not-so-luxurious place.
Well, I reside in Oshodi, an area on the mainland in Lagos state, Nigeria, and this area provides lots of places to have fun for a not-so-high amount. So here is exactly how I will have fun with the sum of 8,328 Naira.
First, I will visit a fancy hotel in Oshodi with a swimming pool around 2 pm on a Saturday. I have wanted to swim for a while now but funds and time as been my most significant hiccup. Swimming in such hotels for a full day requires paying a fee of 1,000 nairas, and I will also get a swimming truck and other apparatus to help me stay afloat on the water. Everything will cost 1,500 Naira. I will be at the pool till around evening.
After Swimming, I will visit this popular pepper soup joint that a friend took me to last year in December to relax and have fun. The joint is around Oshodi, Lagos state also. So I will visit the joint and order a bowl of catfish pepper soup and a cold Guinness Stout. A bowl of pepper soup costs 3,500 nairas and the Stout beer costs 600 per bottle. I will be drinking 2 bottles of beer alongside my Catfish pepper soup.
So, in summary, Here is the total amount I will be spending to have a great fun weekend:
Swimming and swimming apparatus cost 1,500 Naira
Catfish Peppersoup costs 3,500 Naira
Two bottles of Guinness stout cost 1,200 Naira
Transport fare cost to all locations 1,000 Naira
So the total amount I will need to have a great weekend is 7,200 Naira, and I will be left with an extra 1,128 Naira to spare.
