5 fun ways to celebrate workers’ day in Nigeria
Today, May 1, 2024, Nigeria joins the global celebration of Workers’ Day!
This public holiday is a dedicated time to honour the contributions of hardworking people across the country. It’s a day to recognise the value of labour and the dedication of those who keep the wheels of the nation turning.
But Workers’ Day isn’t just about acknowledging hard work; it’s also about celebrating it. After a year of dedication and perseverance, Nigerian workers deserve a day of rest, relaxation, and enjoyment. So, put down your work tools, silence those ringing phones, and get ready to celebrate.
Here are five exciting ways Nigerian workers can make the most of their Workers’ Day holiday.
1. Escape the city for a nature retreat
Nigeria has stunning natural scenery, from the lush rainforests of the south to the breathtaking mountains of the north. Workers’ Day is the perfect opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and reconnect with nature.
Consider a day trip to a nearby national park, like Yankari Game Reserve, Cross River National Park or Lekki Conservation Centre (LCC). Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the natural world, go for a hike, or simply relax by a scenic lake.
2. Unwind with a staycation
Sometimes, the best way to recharge is with a relaxing staycation. Treat yourself to a luxurious hotel stay in your own city. Pamper yourself with spa treatments, enjoy delicious meals you don’t have to cook and take advantage of hotel amenities like swimming pools and fitness centres. It’s a chance to unwind, de-stress, and recharge without the hassle of travelling far.
3. Organise a Workers’ Day picnic with colleagues
Workers’ Day is a celebration of your fellow workers too. Gather your colleagues, friends, and family for a fun-filled picnic in the park. Pack delicious local delicacies, some refreshing drinks, and some games or activities to keep everyone entertained. This is a fantastic opportunity to bond with your work crew outside the office environment and create lasting memories.
4. Explore Nigeria’s rich culture
Dedicate your Workers’ Day to exploring the rich heritage of your own city or venture to a new location. Visit historical landmarks, museums, or cultural centres. Immerse yourself in local art, music, and dance.
5. Catch up with loved ones
The daily grind can sometimes leave us neglecting the people who matter most. Workers’ Day is the perfect chance to reconnect with loved ones. Plan a visit with family members you haven’t seen in a while, organise a game night with friends, or simply enjoy a relaxing meal together. Cherish the moments with the people who bring joy and support to your life.
Workers’ Day is a day to celebrate YOU.
You’ve worked hard, persevered through challenges, and contributed to the success of your organisation. Now, it’s time to take a break, have some fun, and recharge your batteries. Choose an activity that sparks your joy and allows you to unwind and celebrate your achievements.
Here’s to a happy and well-deserved Workers’ Day for all Nigerian workers!

Chris Brown opens up on dating multiple ladies
Chris Brown, the American singer, has revealed that he is in a polygamous relationship.
Brown, in a YouTube live with Kai Cenat, the US content creator, addressed questions about his personal life.
When asked if he was in a relationship, the 35-year-old Virginia-born artiste replied, “I am in multiple”.
Cenat sought clarification, asking, “Like more than one girlfriend?” Brown responded, “Something like that”.
The award-winning singer also emphasized the importance of transparency and honesty in maintaining his polygamous relationships.
“Just keep it a hundred. Be honest,” he added.
This is not the first time Brown would be addressing polygamy.
In an interview with Hot 97, the singer opened up about the challenges of maintaining a monogamous relationship due to his celebrity status and constant exposure to women.
“The hardest part is trying to keep a monogamous relationship, but still wanting to be the 25-year-old sex symbol,” he said.
“You go to shows. You might walk by somebody’s room, and you might see about six or seven of them thangs. And you’re like, dang, I just want to slide in there and have a couple drinks real quick and I’ll tell my girl about it later.”
Born Christopher Maurice Brown, the songwriter is often referred to by his contemporaries as the “king of R&B”.

“Who gave birth to such a child? Useless children, may God keep them away from us.
“Please disregard any message from anyone, either in your DM or WhatsApp, asking you to send money.

Davido advises black Americans not to relocate to Nigeria, says ‘the economy is in shambles’
Davido, the Afrobeats star, has advised black Americans against relocating to Nigeria, citing the country’s economic challenges.
In an appearance on The Big Homies House podcast, the singer shared his thoughts on the struggles bedeviling Nigeria, stating, “It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles”.
Davido also mentioned Nigeria’s struggles with bad leadership, a high exchange rate, and skyrocketing oil prices, which are negatively impacting the country.
“It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles. I do my part, I am an ambassador. When I go home and I am filming, I am no going to show the bad parts,” he said.
“I am talking about the situation in the country. Now the exchange rate is messed up, a lot of stuffs are not going well.
“The economy is just not good enough. The oil price is too high. Imagine the country that produces oil, paying more for it than a country importing oil.”
Despite the challenges, Davido emphasised the entertainment industry’s positive impact on Africa’s global image.
“Regardless, entertainment is one of the thing that has made Africa look good. We do not have the best leader, that is a fact,” he said.
