That would be my first experience going to a nightclub. And that was around, that was December last year. I mean Ligus is quite known for the city of Rave during this time of the year. And we have this phenomenon where we call Dirt City December. So I wanted to experience a Dirt City December. And my friends, very hard-going people, to be fair, they invited me for a rave, a nightclub. And I was down to it because at the time I was expecting my sister to join me in the hear Airbnb adverts but because I had no company I decided to tag along now we got to rave club and honestly it was it was not surprising it was just an unexpected. I was not oblivious of the fact that an i-cub would obviously be quite noisy because of the music. I just didn’t expect something as overwhelming at that as that and it made me so overstimulated, tired and I think I even developed an headache from that. That experience made me realize that maybe not club isn’t just for me because at the point I just wanted to go home but it was impossible because I was not mobile and I just had to wait for my friends who were extreme party lovers to be done.

That would be my first experience going to a nightclub. And that was around December last year. I mean, Lagos is quite known for the city of rave during this time of the year. And we have this phenomenon where we call Detty December. So I wanted to experience a Detty December. And my friends, very hard-going people, to be fair, they invited me for a rave, a nightclub. And I was down for it because at the time I was expecting my sister to join me in the hear Airbnb adverts but because I had no company I decided to tag along. Now we got to the rave club and honestly it was not surprising, it was just unexpected. I was not oblivious of the fact that a nightclub would obviously be quite noisy because of the music. I just didn't expect something as overwhelming as that and it made me so overstimulated, tired and I think I even developed a headache from that. That experience made me realize that maybe the club isn't just for me because at the point I just wanted to go home but it was impossible because I was not mobile and I just had to wait for my friends who were extreme party lovers to be done.
