We are still in the season of L-O-V-E and as the month comes to a close we want to give the lonely hearts a few tips on finding love in Lagos. This post was initially meant to be sarcastic but after sampling opinions we can duly tell you it's a valid list. We hope that you find your missing rib and treat them next Valentine's day.

We have put together 6 unusual, weird, uncommon or unconventional places to find love in our city.

Lagos, it's time to plan your weekend! We've got you covered from Friday till monday so ditch the regukar sit at home or owambe weekends and get out. We are really about the movement 'Live Lagos' which just literally means you should experience and enjoy our lovely city in and out; in all it's glory. 

This month felt like a race, it will be over next week which is a huge relief compared to  Jan... you know what month. We also hope you got to do something for Valentine's with your partner, colleagues, family or/and friends. We had a swell time with Praiz at Ribbons and roses and  RicHassani gave a spectacular show at Lover's corner. If you missed out on the highlights of the events then you should be sure to follow us on Instagram @thelagosweekender for real time updates from events that you missed.

Things to do in Lagos this weekend! Feb 18th /19th

It's been a lovey dovey week! (This is us trying to avoid the  'Love is in the air' cliche) Hope you all got up to something nice for Valentine's day? That's if you were not watching the match or praying in church.

If that was your case then we got you still as the Valentine's groove continues this weekend! Infact we think its better because you get to skip all the rush of the actual Valentine's day and really spend quality time with your partner and we heard traffic was insane on that day.

So back to our regular updates. There are several  events happening in Lagos this weekend especially something that suits everyone's interest. So take advantage of our list!

Live Lagos!

Saturday 17th

SILENT DISCO BOAT CRUISE

Hey guys! It's another Weekend and we are excited! Lagos is gradually regaining it's Buzz! It's Valentine's day in a few and we have ideas plans on how to enjoy the season with your partner. Stay peeled for our next post! 

This Saturday is Lagos City Marathon which means all roads will be shut for a while.

The finishing point will be at the sales office of Eko Atlantic on Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island. The 42km race will start 6.30am while the 10km fun race will start at 8.30am from the Lekki Toll gate. This means that major roads will be shut between 6am to 1pm. So make plans for  your movement.
