We’re not too sure how these will hold up, but if you’re looking for ways to stay cool outside the mainstream fans and air conditioning (lame), we have 7 tricks up our sleeves.

Do the Nigerian thing and proclaim that you are not hot but cold.

Hey, we do this for every other thing.

Hug a Nigerian politician right before bed.

Their icy hearts should keep you cool for a night or two.

Literally catch the Coronavirus because at least a fever will keep you cool.

Or not, please don’t.

Stand next to Nigeria’s foreign reserves.

Let the breeze from the emptiness keep you a little cool.

Move houses into any empty government building abandoned when a new administration came into power. The breeze do usually mad there.

Now choose wisely because there are a ton of those around.

You could always hug a transformer and let its metal keep you cool.

There’s no light anyway, so no need to worry about any dangers.

Has there ever been a perfect time to become a 24-hour nudist?

P.S., whatever happens between you and HR after this, we don’t want to know.

What are you doing to stay cool during this heat wave?
