7 things Nigerians love to do on Saturdays

Ever wondered what Nigerians love to do on weekends after a long week at work or school?

Well, living in Nigeria on a weekday is a swing between hustling and bustling. People barely organise parties in the course of the week.

The thought of going to work on a Monday morning sends shivers down the spine but as the weekend approaches, everyone can't wait to have a good ball.

As we begin another weekend, Mynigeria highlights 10 things Nigerians will most likely be doing.

Exercise



On a regular Saturday morning, Nigerians love to engage in some workout exercise. People either go for jogging in groups because of its free and refreshing to do it outdoors. People converge at a place of choice they can afford to blow-off some steam.

Either way, Nigerians do participate in routine exercises to get rid of a stressful weekday, keep fit and probably have fun.

Clean-up



While some prefer to exercise in the mornings, others prefer to do their chores on Saturdays. If you pay attention to homes, you would realise that Nigerians do most of their household chores on Saturdays.

Watch Football



Most Nigerians love to watch the English Premier League, since they regard it as the most competitive league due to the top guns fighting to win the title.

Lovers of sports often visit their friends at pubs, homes and match viewing centers to watch sporting games. Nigerians do not only like to watch football, but they can stay awake at dawn to watch NBA, boxing, tennis and other sporting activities.

Attend Funerals and Weddings



Take a walk in a typical Nigerian community and you will find people mourning over the death of a loved one. The aged often travel the length and breadth of the country to help their family or friends bury a loved one.

An interesting thing to note is that when you miss a funeral of a close relative, they will pay you back by not attending any of your events.



Go Shopping



People often go to the market to buy some foodstuff they will need for the week or month. Others also seize the opportunity to do some shopping for themselves, loved ones, and family. For some people, Saturdays are the best times to prepare for the whole week so they shop for the coming week instead of shopping every day or two, just so to avoid making the week much more stressful.

Church Rehearsal



In anticipation of Sunday services, Christians often go to church at night to tidy up the house of their Maker. Other activities such as choreography, song ministration rehearsals are held on Saturday nights in preparation for the main Church service on Sunday.

Music Concepts



Host an event on a Saturday evening and Nigerians will grace the occasion in their numbers. Most musical shows and award events are held on Saturday evenings in Nigeria because there’s no work the following day. People are enthralled to attend musical concepts in order to them to see or meet up with their favourite celebrity or musician.
