Go to the Cinemas
Whether in Ibadan, Lagos, Port Harcourt or Abuja, there are a number of cinemas you can go and watch a movie. Fast & Furious 7 is one of the top movies currently trending you should see. Depending on the type of movies you like, the movies showing now is Avengers: Age of Ultron, Project Almanac, Insurgent and Top Five. There are some Nigerian movies you can also opt for at the cinema. The Cobbler is expected to start showing on the 1st of May. If you have been waiting for that movie, there you have it.
Apart from these activities, you can also visit the beach to cool off or go clubbing. But above all, it is important to take time out and rest too. Take your sleep seriously. If you can’t get enough time alone to rest at home, you can book a hotel and take time out to be with yourself; eat and sleep.
