Nigeria Vs South Africa - Where Is The Love?

Nigeria Vs South Africa – Where Is The Love?

It’s no secret that few weeks ago, there was an uproar in the continent due to South Africans killing fellow Africans foreigners  in their country.

For a country that need the help of…

Let’s Talk Travel & Money

  Mofe (Naija Nomads) & I had our first WANDER HUB COMMUNITY meet up and it was great. We also learnt a lot from it and now we’re back with Wander Hub 2.0 which is bigger & better.

Vacation Soon? | 5 Things You Should Never Forget When Travelling

Before you head to the airport, make sure you’re not forgetting anything.

  Who remembers the first time they travelled out of the country on vacation? For me, it was one never to forget because I left my international passport at home and I had gotten halfway to the airport before I realized, so I had to rush back home and guess what? There was a little traffic on my way back home and to cut a…

Staycations In Nigeria

Are Staycations the New Vacations?

Staycations are such great way to explore your city/country without the hassle of trying to save for an expensive trip out of town. Simply put a staycation is a vacation spent in one’s home country exploring tourist attractions or at a resort.

Staycations are becoming increasingly popular as they are easier to plan, easier on the pockets, create new experiences…

We chose the Casa Nomads terrace as our venue for the class and the instructors were from the Lekki Arts & Crafts Market.

The idea of the class was to shed light on this ancient craft and also allow people learn the basic skills that go into making some of…

So seems like everyone agrees that Lagos has huge tourism potential. But what’s stopping us from living our Eko Miami dreams and have foreign and local investment in that industry. • The ladies of @throughoureyes_ng tackle it and send a visual/vocal version of an open letter to Uncle Sanwo-Olu so he can Gbe body e and do something. • Go to their page to watch the video. • 🗺 - Lekki Conservation Center, Lagos • 📸 - @karinakarunwi https://www.instagram.com/p/BvR33sSHyFl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nohl6vcped5n

Everyone’s favourite moonshine in Nigeria. • This picture brought back memories of our palmwine tapping class last year.

With people building edifices, mansions and fancy schmancy stuff in villages, do you think they’ll remain ‘villages’ for long or become little towns/cities. • For instance my dad takes offence when I refer to our village as such, he makes it a point to correct me and tell me it’s a town. • What are your thoughts on this? • 📸 - @chiomagoodhair https://www.instagram.com/p/BvE1VJLH2Dr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iwh6jm8wpvgt

Maison Keyser is one of the new kids on the block. The bakery franchise finally made its way down to Nigeria with a twist. As at the time of visiting they were 2 months old.

Maison Keyser loosely translated to house of Keyser  is famous first for its pastries and then adds extra things from country to country to cater to local clientele.

We’re sure everyone had a somewhat lazy Saturday. • Did you guys go out and vote or you just couldn’t be bothered? • Saw this image and it reminded us of when a certain minister said trains can’t move faster because they don’t want to kill cows that wander onto the tracks. 🤷🏽‍♀️ • 🗺 - Kajuru, Kaduna • 📸 - @irene.becker (at Kajuru) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buy6px5nWxj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4xadh57hhf3e

Apart from numb fingers 😩😭😂, we’re sure everyone left with a deep appreciation for this particular craft and how much effort goes into making these things. • We probably won’t be pricing anymore when they go to buy woven items. • We were also glad everyone left with something they made (even if it wasn’t a basket), and some have already put it to good use in their homes. @amarachiekekwe uses hers as a coaster, @ayo.olawoye uses hers to hold keys and some are using them as decor. • We’re also sure everyone left happy and had a great time. • We’ll be writing a full post on our blog soon on this experience. • Can anyone guess what our next class is going to be on? 🙃 • 🗺 - Casa Nomads • 📸 - @soladotbiyi https://www.instagram.com/p/But4RwqHz8t/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i7iof6xhtfoh

Mr. D told us that the middle is the most important part of anything being woven. • It’s the starting point and you have to get it right for whatever you’re making to come out well. • Being the starting point, a lot of effort was put into and the Unravellers were good sports about trying to get it right. • Some were so into to it that their precision game was impressive while others just winged it because they cannot come an kill themselves 😂😭 • 🗺 - Casa Nomads • 📸 - @soladotbiyi https://www.instagram.com/p/BurN4mcnG-l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pha87gkjthg
