• You know how you can see an event on TV and just want to enter through your screen to join them because you know they’re having the best time ever? That was us when Johnnie Walker threw the littest party for week 2 of the BBNaija Season 7 a couple of weeks ago. 

    Abi I should sign up for BBNaija next year ni?

    Tell us a party was fire without telling us the party was fire.

    First of all, just look at the location

    If you enter a place like this and the first thing that comes to mind isn’t, “Omo, I go enjoy my life die today”, then we’re here to tell you you’re a detty liar. That dance floor is giving dance floor

    And then the drinks

    As you’re still thinking, “Omo, this place is nice. Maybe I’ll hide somewhere and sleep here after the party”, boom… you see the drinks.  Herbert Macaulay, the founder of Nigeria’s first political party once said, “What’s a party without some Johnnie Walker Red Label?” And to be honest, the man was right. 

    There were drinks for daysss at this party. 

    Have you ever seen so many beautiful people in one place? 

    The answer is clearly no. At some point, we felt like we were watching the afterparty of a beauty pageant because, ahnahn! They were now dancing to some nice gbedu to brighten their moods. .

    Do you know what “party cloth” is? 

    Johnnie Walker must have told people that there was also a dressing competition o. Because how do you get so many already beautiful people to turn up looking so good? Na jazz? 

    And the music? Hay God! 

    Even we watching from home couldn’t help but dance to the music. If your DJ can’t make people lose their home training and turn up at your party, you should probably get another DJ. This DJ knew what to do and he did it perfectly. 

    Also, we got our hands on some of the music that was played that night. You’re welcome.

    But ask them to post you, and you’ll hear, “Babe, I’m protecting you from the world.”

    They wear their club’s jerseys

    But will they wear an outfit that has your face on it? Heck no.

    They support Arsenal or Manchester United

    Do you know the level of love and commitment required to support these clubs? No space in their heart to love you again.

    They argue about football

    Have you seen where fans argue about football? Does your partner display that same passion with you? You have your answer.

    They cry when their team loses

    Tell them, “It’s just a game,” and see if they won’t dump you in a heartbeat.

    No date nights during Premier League

    Just forget about it.

  • Summer is great everywhere. But Nigerian summer, aka the period where the rainy season rests and assembly-singing children are on break terrorising their parents, is the best. 

    So we want to help you keep it that way. We can confirm these blockers of enjoyment will try to kill your summer ginger.

    The heat

    You: Excitedly making hangout plans because the rains have finally reduced.

    The heat: 

    Children

    Sure, you’ll get a break from early morning assembly songs, but guess where the noise and mischief go? Your house. If you have kids or younger siblings, take heart.

    Your account balance

    To be honest, only people with healthy bank accounts will even try to leave their house for any kind of enjoyment. Where do you want to go with ₦1k?

    Your job

    Unless you want to take sick leave all through the summer, where do you want to drop your boss and those one million deliverables? 

    Nigerian parents

    If you still live with your Nigerian parents, just cast and bind every thought of enjoyment because it won’t work. Now, go and wash plates.

    Nigeria

    You: “I just wanna relax and unplug from any kind of stress this month.”

    NEPA, the economy and your local bread seller:

    Finally, once more, the heat

    Sunkissed really starts becoming sunburnt. 

    Staying gingered in August may seem difficult, but Coldstone creamery is making sure that you’re able to sustain your ginger to enjoy the summer without hurting your bank account.

    Introducing the Ginger Lemon Flavour, the new ice cream flavour from Coldstone that’ll help make your summer a lot more interesting. Take advantage of the Buy One Get One Free promo offer valid all through August and get your summer ginger going.
