Imagine attending a music festival on a beach in Lagos, then taking a short boat cruise to a nearby island. Or watching a Nollywood premiere at an ancient amphitheatre in Benin. Nigeria is evolving, and so is how we experience travel and entertainment.
As someone who loves both, I’m excited to share this emerging trend that blends cultural discovery with leisure and fun.
