Its no news again that even with the economic hardship Nigerians are facing at the moment, clubs , bars and hotels are already making twice their usual turnover. I usually visit the pub during weekends with friends,but now I find my self going there often to catch up on new jists and debates from professionals in various fields.

When fuel price increased, after work I prefer driving down to a pub to wait for the traffic to subside before hitting the road. After some time I noticed my colleagues were doing the same, even those that usually dont hang out on a norm. From my observations I concluded that so many staff were inducted into this lifestyle just recently. While traffic was the primary reason for some of us, some dont want to go home until its very late because of their nagging wives or loneliness; while its a usual routine for a lot of people to unwind and catch up with friends. Popular bars and clubs are usually filled to the brim only on Fridays, but nowadays weekdays are just like any friday.

However, recently I noticed when I get to the pub the atmosphere is as calm as a mortuary. Guys who give critical analysis to current issues are not there. The tables are scanty, I see a lot of Malt bottles and table water. The big spenders on the scene anymore. When I finished my drink , I drove down home taking note of hotels, bars I can lay my eyes on; just a few cars outsite. So I said to my self; does this mean the Muslims are the highest patronisers of alcohol in Lagos state? The cost of beer increased; patronisers increased too but why is everyone including the Christians not going to the pubs this period? Do Muslims influence the social life of Lagosians ?

P.S this is a research and your comments are welcomed. However, the aim of this post is not to discredit any religion.
