Another holiday beckons, who are we not embrace it. Easter is
a sacred period on the Christian calendar, held in honour of the victory of
Christ over death and his resurrection. A celebration of life, a time to share
and create memories with family and friends.
I’m sure you all know by now that Nigerians don’t carry last
when it comes to holidays, a free day is synonymous with chilling as they seize
every opportunity to be merry and have fun.
While there are Christians throughout the country, majority
live in the southern part of the nation. Hence, a livelier time for feasting in
the south. A few tips have been put together to ensure a fun filled Easter
celebration, areas like Surulere,
