Key highlights of the Independence Day:
- Monday is official holiday so most people see it as a long weekend rather than a heroic celebration day!
- That's why; they just entertain themselves and the family so go for a vacation (out of town) or shopping (we were in this second group)
- We went to the biggest (out of three :)) shopping mall in Lagos - PALMS (http://thepalmsshopping.com/). It is a nice but small shopping mall with two (and only) hypermarkets (Shoprite & Game), pharmacies, shoe stores, Mango (only Mango in Lagos), Nike (only Nike in Lagos) and electronic shops (even an Apple store :)). Although it is small, we spent more than 2 hours there, which could be the world record for Palms :))
Nigeria's one of very few hypermarket Shoprite!

- On the way back, there was a talk on revolution and the people were calling in to express their feelings or the roadmap for a revolution, leading to better Nigeria! RE-VO-LU-TION??? I just came here, what revolution noww??
- Also we went to see a house in Banana Island. This is such a great neighborhood with outrageous prices however the houses can disappoint you with low quality construction. The door handles of the house were corroded already although it was brand new! Disappointing...
- We found an amazing Brazilian Barbecue place by the ocean in VI and the owner was Brazilian. Why would someone come all the way from Brazil and open a restaurant here??? Brenda says less competition and more money but I doubt that!!!Cheers from Independent Nigeria! :)
