You are a Nigerian in 2024 and you don’t have the budget to flex this December. Oya come let me give you 5 ways you can flex this Christmas on a simple budget:
1. DIY Christmas Décor: On normal Christmas occasions you normally hang all thw expensive light and ornaments on your tree. But this year you have sold everything so you go see wetin to chop. Don’t qorry here is an alternative. Channel your inner Bob the Builder with locally sourced decorations. Use old Ankara fabrics for a unique tree design or make hanging ornaments from recycled items. Who needs imported lights?
2. Cook Smart, Chop Better: Party jollof rice with boiled EGG each it serves as FULL CHICKEN per person instead of your regular fowl. Let every guest bring a plate!
3. Neighborhood Vibes: Instead of heading to expensive venues, host a street hangout. Free DJ vibes from your Bluetooth speaker and cheap thrills from suya joints can deliver all the fun.
4. Gift What You Have: Write personalized notes, record heartfelt videos, or repackage that gift you received in February (we won’t tell). It’s the thought that counts, abeg.
5. Entertainment on a Dime: Forget expensive cinemas! Host a “movie under the stars” in your compound with a bedsheet and projector- if you don’t have projector use your laptop- of you don’t have laptop use your phone. Use it and drink cold zobo, and you’re sorted out. 6. Be the Guest too: Lastly this is 2024, instead of being the one hosting people, let them host you as well. Avoid being the hoster of guest instead let them host you too, this life na turn by turn abeg. its your turn to be the guest this festive period too or what do you think?
