  • The 8th edition of the popular beach soccer tournament, Copa Lagos held throughout the weekend at Eko Atlantic, VI. It had us loving the opportunity to immerse ourselves in enjoyment. You should know by now that we can’t pass up a chance to get the ultimate weekend experience. And you know the fun part? We got it all in one place.

    Because we’re good people, we’ve decided to do a recap of all the things you definitely missed:

    1) What’s A Weekend Without Drinks:

    What’s better than having drinks with friends in a relaxed atmosphere? Especially when the drink is on tab? Copa gave us all of this and more. Hooray for us.

    2) Hot Guys:

    Yaasss, sistahs! There were so many hot guys at the event, we didn’t know where to look. Some of them were on the pitch and had us salivating with all that action; others were giving us googling eyes from their position on the sidelines of things. Apparently, we weren’t the only ones that had thoughts on this:

    3) Freebies:

    We totally loved the freebies that we got courtesy of FCMB, who sponsored the tournament. I mean, who doesn’t love to get gifts? Our turnup was real when we heard that FCMB was giving out free tickets and gifts. We made a mad rush to Copa Lagos just to get us some. Best part was that the gift giveaways were essential life items like flat screen TVs, mobile phones, and other exciting gifts. Ultimate what? Ultimate weekend, we tell you.

    4) Celebrity Matches:

    Oh you thought the tournament was only for experienced footballers? Nah. We got to see some of our favourite Nigeria celebs on the sandy football pitch as they showed of their mad skills. This includes: Sound Sultan, MC Lively, Josh2Funny, Sexy Steel, Ehiz and more.

    5) The Who’s Who In Attendance:

    We couldn’t keep calm when we sighted Governor of Lagos, Sanwo Olu — I know, such a rare honour to actually see him. The Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Obafemi Hamzat, and the Honorable Minister for Youth and Sports, Sunday Dare, also graced the event.

    6) Music, Mingling & Cheerleading:

    The constant music was enough to let us forget all of our home training. But, we acted with enough decorum to mingle as well. We love to meet new people, so we braved it and asked a couple of cheerleaders to teach us one or two things about cheer leading.

    7) The Lions of Senegal:

    Senegalese football team, The Sand Terranga Lions of Senegal, defended their crown once again by winning this year’s tournament.

    This year’s Copa Lagos was so awesome and we are highly anticipating next year’s. Big ups to FCMB and Copa Lagos for such an amazing event.

  • Now the week is over, Friday rocks are drawing nigh! Congratulations on surviving five days of cursing alarm clocks, beating traffic to get to work on time and sneaking out successfully before the close of day.

    As it’s the start of the weekend (and salary week), you might be wondering if the week’s accomplishments call for a night of debauchery and raising hands with a bunch of strangers in a much too crowded open-floor plan. To help you make your decision, we called upon certain Nigerian politicians to employ their life philosophies to guide your decision making. Pick your choice.

    There’s Rice At Home – Bashir Ahmad

    You mean Nigeria is producing all this rice Abbah exaggerated about and you’re still going out to club? What is this life please?

    Ajeku iya ni o je – Dino Melaye

    Are you still owing Escape from last month, but plotting how you’ll shut down Quilox later tonight? Mr Melaye has a word for you. If you’re wondering what this translates to, it means, “the bottom of suffering is what you’ll get”. Trust me, that’s not a good thing.

    I am not one of them – Jimi Agbaje

    Do you want to be like everyone spending their Fridays drunk and disorderly? It could never be Jimi.

    Live within your means – President Bubucakes

    He literally said this one too. Don’t spend your Friday outdoing the next guy, slay in your financial lane.

    Lol, or not – Again, President Bubucakes.

    Go hard or go home.

    Step up in the club in two bullion vans – Bola ‘RicherThanYourNext’ Tinubu

    If you’re doing it, do it big. That is all.

    Buy Nigerian to grow the naira – Senator Ben Murray Bruce

    Now, nobody said you shouldn’t go clubbing, but make sure to do it for Nigeria’s progress. That said, if your bottle of Hennessey has “Made in Nigeria” inscribed at the bottom, we’re going to need you to take ten steps back from it.

    We will not take it – Godsday Orubebe.

    Godsday Orubebe has a word for you this fine Friday, and we’re inclined to second him. You mean you survived this whole week, battled traffic to get to work on time, met your deadlines and still won’t go out to celebrate? Sorry, but that ain’t right.

    And remember, All your sins are forgiven – Adams Oshiomole

    You might not be a party defector, but whatever happens on Friday night (with consent) stays in Friday night. Go and sin no more.

  • 1. When you wake up late on Sunday.

    Oh no!

    2. Then you remember you don’t have to go to work or school.

    10. You, trying to figure out what exactly you achieved during the weekend now that it has finished.
