For some people, Fridays are considered sinister days. This is particularly due to the "Friday the 13th" talk all over.

For Nigerians however, Friday has now been seen as a party day. It is a day many Nigerians look forward to, knowing there will be one party or the other. It does not matter that Nigeria is "terrible" enough in itself. Nigerians make the most by learning to enjoy it.

But is partying the only reason Nigerians get excited about Fridays? Of course not!

Here are 5 reasons why Nigerians look forward to - and get excited about - Fridays.

1. Friday marks the last working day of the week.
This may not be correct for every organisation, but most corporate offices close for the week on Friday. The workers do not have to go to work again until the following Monday. Of course, that is something to look forward to.

2. Fridays are party days.
Nigerians like to party, and Friday has become the unofficially official party day. It is a day to go out with the "boiz" or with the "galz". Various clubs have caught the fever, and have special parties on Fridays.

3. Weekend starts on Friday.
After work closes on Friday, weekend starts. Nigerians no longer wait till Saturday to enjoy the weekend. So, for a number of Nigerians, they start their weekend activities on Fridays. Movies especially seem to do well on Friday evenings.

4. Friday is the last day of school.
Not only the working class look forward to Fridays. Students do so too. They get excited, knowing that school closes for the week on Friday and they don't have to go to school again till Monday. This may not really work for higher education students though.

5. Friday is Juma'ah.
Fridays are not all about partying. A number of Nigerian Muslims specially look forward to this day for worship. Typically, Friday is to Muslims as Sunday is to Christians - a special day of worship. So, Muslims generally look forward to it.

I cant imagine a week without friday...e dy sweet me die..waking up by 11am on sat

In my former workplace, there's no resting day even on Saturdays and sometimes on Sundays during stock taking and sometimes when new stock enters as one had to work oneself up so as to impress the boss who doesn't care about the welfare and safety of his employees.

Now that i have mine and can decide when to rest and when to enter hustle and now also i have the opportunity to attend church weekly programs that i couldn't do before. Thank God the profit i make in 3days is what i normally used to earn in a month before.

for some of us is AP night,for those who understand,typing straight away from the AP!
More like thankGod today is friday!
