Activities at night clubs and bars in
some parts of Lagos State have positive
and negative influences. Lagos does
not lag behind when it comes to
grandiose shows. Some people would
even prefer to drum home this fact by
using the slogan, 'Eko for show', a
catchphrase for Lagos' high-flying
status. "At night clubs, one can
socialise and get useful business
connections. On the negative, they can
promote extreme indulgence in
alcoholism and sexual escapades.
There is a tendency for one to consume
more alcoholic drinks than required.
Commercial sex workers also loiter
around such places. Someone who
lacks self control may be tempted to
want to have a feel of anyone of
them."Punch's GBENGA ADENIJI
reports that this love for spectacle is
noticeable in the merriment which club
houses in the state dish out from time
to time. The state government once
said residents of the state spend over
N1bn on parties and entertainment
every month. Every week, there is
usually a place for fun seekers to hang
out in various parts of the metropolis.
In fact, there are now night clubs in
some residential areas. It is not
unusual these days to see fun spots
springing up where residential
buildings were once erected. From
Ikeja, Surulere, Oshodi, Akowonjo,
Iyana Ipaja, Abule Egba, Ogba to
Ikorodu and other areas in the state,
Friday is usually a special day. On this
day, music blares from every nook and
cranny till dawn. The fun, which starts
midweek in some parts, reaches a
crescendo on Friday. Some singers,
especially those in the hip hop and juju
genres, have even made special
releases on the importance of Friday in
the start of a weekend of merry-
making. As it rocks in Lagos, the same
happens in Port Harcourt, Abuja and
other notable cities in the country.
Drinks of all types usually accompany
the entertainment. A recent data has
shown Nigeria as one of the leading
countries with high champagne
consumption. A dispatch rider, Henry
Smith, who was sighted at a night club
in Iyana Ipaja area of Lagos State, said
siting relaxation centres within
residential areas have some merits and
demerits. He said apart from noise
pollution and security threat which
they could pose to such areas, they
provide on-the-move relaxation to
residents. Smith further said the level
of noise from worship centres could
sometimes be more than what
emanates from night clubs. He said,
"These club houses pay all manner of
taxes to local governments in their
domains. They employ security men to
ensure orderliness. Some people even
feel safe when they get to a place and
see a night club there. The people
trooping into the club and the noise
coming out from there often light up
the environment. Nigeria is a place
where people work hard to survive. You
can imagine what the situation will be
if there are no places to unwind." He
added that fun spots could attract
people of questionable characters into
a neighbourhood thereby endangering
the safety of occupants. A worker with
an international courier company,
Rotimi Oyeneyin, described night clubs
as venues for extreme fun seekers to
unwind. He said even though there was
nothing bad in hanging out in a club
after a hard day's job, it could be
extreme when one stayed throughout
the night. Oyeneyin added that night
clubs could encourage alcoholism and
sexual recklessness. He also said
besides the huge noise pollution from
night clubs, there had been cases of
auto crashes arising from drunkenness
of people coming from such places.
Oyeneyin said, "But one cannot rule out
the fact that night clubs are best places
to relax after working so hard. Apart
from relaxing, one can meet individuals
who can lead one to meaningful
business deals." A banker, who lives on
Jonathan Coker in New Oko-Oba, Lagos,
Princewill George, expressed
displeasure over the building of night
clubs within residential areas.
According to him, such club houses
only harbour criminals whose activities
make residents uncomfortable. George
said, "I know what I experience every
night with the noise pollution from
night clubs in my area. On weekends,
males and females besiege the clubs to
enjoy. Cars are often parked
haphazardly on the road, with music
playing at a deafening level." Also, a
resident in Oke-Ira, Ogba, whose house
is near a night club, Mr. Alphonsus
Edward, said he hardly sleeps every
Friday. He stated that he struggles to
cope with a noise from the speakers of
the club and that of a record seller few
metres away from his house. Edward
said, "I know that listening to music is
one of the ways customers in the club
enjoy themselves. But I do not think it
is necessary for the music to filter to
those who are outside the club.I
wonder how those inside the club enjoy
the noise because it even disturbs
those outside." If you frequent night
clubs, make sure you watch you back,
as there are some guys who are out to
"loot"? Check The Pictures in the source below www.daillybook..com/2013/11/see-mess-going-on-in-some-night-clubs.html?m=1
