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...

Common Mistakes Of New Real Estate Investors

Many people are convinced about the soundness of real estate investment as a wealth-building vehicle but most are not clear as to the path to follow and the pitfalls to avoid. More recently, I have had reason to clarify to aspiring real estate investors that real estate investment is not a get-rich-quick system. It is a system that requires knowledge, dedication and focus. We shall examine a few mistakes to avoid if you desire to effectively utilise this wealth building vehicle. One of the basic errors new real estate investors make is to buy properties blindly on the assumption that all real estate investments automatically go up. This common assumption is not true in its entirety. For instance, if you decide to buy a property in an odd part of town without considering basic infrastructures or basic advantages, and then you go ahead and develop the property, you may experience a high vacancy ratio (this means, it takes an unduly long time to rent the property to tenants) or it m...

Nigerian anti-gay law prompts arrests, international condemnation

A draconian anti-gay law passed by the Nigerian parliament last year and quietly signed by President Goodluck Jonathan this month has led to the arrest of scores of homosexuals and set off an international wave of condemnation. The Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act criminalizes gay marriage and civil unions, imposing punishment of up to 14 years in prison for gay couples who openly display their relationship in a country where, according to polls, 98% of society shuns homosexuality as deviant behavior. "This is a law that is in line with the people's cultural and religious inclination," Jonathan's spokesman, Reuben Abati, was quoted by the Associated Press as saying. "It is a law that is a reflection of the beliefs and orientation of Nigerian people.... Nigerians are pleased with it."
