Follow @Sisi_Yemmie

Is this going to be my first Christmas in Lagos? No! But it is going to be my first Christmas in Lagos as an adult! There's a whole lot of difference. As a child Christmas was about what your parents, uncles, aunts, big cousins e.t.c could do for you-it was dependent on them! As an adult, you're OYO: On Your Own! I wouldn't claim to know all the hot spots in Lagos, but I can recommend places and activities, and you can recommend too by leaving your comments!
