It’s no surprise that I like going to restaurants and bars in Lagos but the restaurant/ bar at Bogobiri House is different because of the reggae band that performs there every week. If you like reggae music and the rustic African theme the bar has, you’ll like the bar at Bogobiri. In fact, even if…

Kyoto, famous for geisha like these, is one of the places Cherchez la Curl plans to visit next. 1. Tell us about the first holiday you remember taking. The first holiday that I can recall purely from my own memory (and not from siblings’ and parents’ stories) would be a road trip to my mother’s…
Cross River is becoming one of my favourite places to visit. Here are some pictures from my recent trip there. I split the pictures from the trip into two posts so you don’t get photo-overload See the first part here. One of the public sitting rooms where you can chill (ha!ha!) in front of the…
The National Museum, Calabar This may sound strange but I actually like going to museums. Yes, I know. I’m a real rock ‘n’ roll kind of gal. Since I like museums, before I even set foot in Calabar, I knew I wanted to check out those the city had. Last time I was there, I…

I used to think the major thing preventing Nigerians from travelling was money. However as I get older, I meet more and more people with more than enough money to travel who don’t. That has led me to conclude that the main reason Nigerians don’t travel is
