TOP FIVE PLACES TO DINE AND WINE IN LAGOS


If you are thinking of a place to dine and wine in Lagos that won’t bore a hole in your pocket, we can recommend the followings. You may also want to add to the list though. Seriously, what do you think?

1.    Bangkok Restaurant  - Thai

With the best Thai food in Lagos, the Bangkok is a treat. The cooks and waitresses are all Thai, and offer you a broad menu of fragrantly spiced dishes. Portions are very generous, and if you can't finish your meal, they're used to sending people home with a doggie bag.

2.    Sherlaton – Indian

Vegetarians suffer a lot in Nigeria, but this Indian restaurant really comes to the rescue. With tasty and filling portions at good prices, the Sherlaton is generally considered to be the city's best curry option.

3.    Double Four – Lebanese

Offering mainly Lebanese dishes, the menu at Double Four tries to throw everything into the mix - Nigerian, Continental, a bit of Indian - so if you're unsure where to dine, this might be the place. It seems to work, as the place is always packed.

4.    Museum Kitchen – African

At the National Museum in Onikan you'll find the Musuem Kitchen, a good place to try traditional Nigerian cuisine. To the strains of local music, you can sample dishes like yam soup, pepper soup, fufu (fermented cassava), stockfish and snails.

5.    Ghana High Buka - African

Just outside the Ghanaian High Commission, this 'food-is-ready' place serves up great Nigerian dishes, such as egusi and iwesu, and as much pounded starch as you can eat. It's always busy and you'll likely come back for more.

    You mean the Sherlaton on Adeola Odeku, Victoria Island right? I've been there before and they did 'bore' a hole in my pocket!
    Do the waiters of the Thai restaurant speak English? Where are they situated? I may just try them out...

Ogun plans low cost housing scheme

The Ogun State Housing Corporation has said that it is planning to deliver low and middle income housing estates across the state. In a statement, the corporation said its flagship scheme, Plainfields Estate, was already being developed as a community housing prototype that would provide the citizens an opportunity to buy into its plan over the next few years. According to the statement, the estate will, upon completion, have a variety of apartment units. The statement read in part, “The corporation will deliver houses and serviced plots across the three senatorial districts, but will avoid a blanket approach. “This means that these projects will be tailor-made to suit the needs of the locality and the market. Everyone who has recognisable means of livelihood in the formal and informal sectors is qualified to buy. “However, the corporation is keen to help those who need mortgages and who are first time buyers.  Because our objective is to encourage home ownershi

How to Make Yourself Work When You Just Don’t Want To

There’s that project you’ve left on the backburner – the one with the deadline that’s growing uncomfortably near.  And there’s the client whose phone call you really should return – the one that does nothing but complain and eat up your valuable time.  Wait, weren’t you going to try to go to the gym more often this year? Can you imagine how much less guilt, stress, and frustration you would feel if you could somehow just make yourself do the things you don’t want to do when you are actually supposed to do them?  Not to mention how much happier and more effective you would be? The good news (and its very good news) is that you can get better about not putting things off, if you use the right strategy.  Figuring out which strategy to use depends on why you are procrastinating in the first place:
