So it’s the first weekend in about three months that we have nothing major to look forward to.
No Big Brother Naija Saturday Night Party.
No Big Brother Naija Eviction Show. ( am sure by now you know that I am a loyal BBNaija fan.)
Anyway, I had a feeling that you might be stranded with no fun thing to do this weekend, so I put together some sort of ‘bipartisan’ list of what and where you can hang out this weekend.
