Opinion
Victoria Island, possibly the most adulated area in all of Lagos
state is an awesome destination. From its attractive scenery to the numerous
fancy fun spots, it is hard to encounter boredom while visiting. Victoria
Island is quite expensive however, and you
have to work extra hard to be able to afford a place in the area, as such, most
of its inhabitants work all the time and barely have time to go out and meet
people or “the one”.
Spending time wandering Victoria Island’s many restaurants, bars,
and fun spots solo, does not exactly sound like an idea of a good time. And
again, having to resort to instamesage or sexynaija.com to find a potential
suitor with whom you can hang with is equally - if not less - appealing.
If you are in Victoria Island and having a hard time finding the
right partner, Jumia Travel has ideas on how and where to meet ‘ the one”. Read
on to discover…
Shoprite
Shoprite is the most popular shopping mall in the city with
locations at key areas of the city and provides a surprising variety of
opportunities to meet men and women. Single men and women in Lagos prefer a
rush in to pick needed groceries after work, or in the morning on weekends.
Chances are you'll find someone who lives in your neighborhood and likes the
same favours you do. The good thing about Shoprite is that it is always located
in a mall that offers the opportunity for instant mini-dates. If things are
going well, you can say “Hey, listen, I feel like going to grab a sandwich at
the food court, Come with me.” Instant dates change the dynamic as you get a
chance to flirt, banter and get that number.
RCCG City of David
One of the most popular and populated churches on the Island, RCCG
City of David is a good place to meet ‘the one’ who shares the same faith and
moral ground. There is a higher chance of finding serious men and women who are
looking for a life partner rather than a night out on the town. Also, not only
do you get edified by the sermons but you can find that perfect someone perhaps
sitting right next to you.
Federal Palace Hotel
Federal Palace Hotel, one of the high-end hotels in Lagos is a
perfect place to meet the one. A lot of people swarm their restaurants for
business meetings and just for a fancy meal. Whatever your reasons for being
there, if you are searching for the one, seize every opportunity you get and
get a waiter to introduce you to the man or woman sitting and having dinner all
alone…or do it yourself. Either way, make a move.
Soul lounge
A bar typically may be one of the oldest ways to meet someone, but
it still works. Soul lounge is not the trendiest bar in Victoria Island at the
moment but, it definitely exudes a certain blend of sophistication and
tranquility, and you rarely find skanky women in loud heels or snarky men in
shiny shirts at the lounge. All you need to do is send a complimentary drink to
a person of interest through a waiter or boldly walk over and strike a
conversation. It could be the first of many conversations towards a happy ever
after.
Mega Plaza
To be specific, the suya spot at the ground floor of Mega Plaza
which basically offers the best Suya in Lagos. They have a signboard with an inscription that
cracks you up but suggests to you that you stand a chance at meeting someone at
the location. A stick of Suya is about N500. There is a variety to choose from:
beef, chicken, livers and beef entrails. You could also order sharwarma and
fresh juice from Sphinx while you are at it.
Shaunz Bar
Shaunz bar is an amazing spot for Karaoke, Live Band and Dance in
VI. It’s popularity comes from the fact that it’s well equipped for a fun
Karaoke night with quality speakers to TV screens all around down to a touch
screen for your song inputs. One of the thrilling parts is that you can record
your performance and take home with you on a CD. Even if you don't have it in
you to take the stage, the drinks are cheap and the people watching ranges from
"wow" to "that's hilarious" to "what a train
wreck." No matter the level of talent however, the entertainment factor is
epic. It is certainly a good spot to find the one…especially if you have a
preference for someone who enjoys music.
Lagoon restaurant
This is a great place if you are looking to meet people from the
upper middle class to high class. Located on Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue, Victoria
Island Lagos, the Lagoon restaurant features an outdoor space for revelers and
food lovers who seek great cocktails, nice shisha, and palatable meals
including Chinese, Indian or Lebanese cuisine, pizza and burgers.
