Achieving some of these things does not cost much but the experience is sure to linger in the memory.

1. Try the hot spicy Suya

Suya is skewered met that is usually sold by Hausas in Lagos. It is made in the open and usually in the evening. It is spiced with pepper and seasoning and sold in paper wraps. The feeling of standing in front of the seller and munching pieces of suya is something you will enjoy. The feeling is way different from buying and preparing meat in the house.
