If you live in Lagos, you would have definitely by now had a close encounter with Lagos traffic. Everybody hates Lagos traffic and especially the stress it comes with; battling with the crazy danfo bus drivers, the suicidal okada riders, the street vendors, the floods, the potholes and even the over-zealous LASTMA officials

You leave your destination looking like this

And arrive looking like this

Yes, the traffic makes you feel like you just defeated the entire Persian army in Sparta. So next time you find yourself sitting bumper to bumper in a Lagos traffic, listening to Wande Coal’s hit track is not your only respite, try any of these stress-defeating activities.

Wind Up

Now we don’t consider this one of the things to do in traffic. This is an essential. Safety is key. Always wind your windows up, especially at night. Even if your air-conditioning does not work, wind up and leave just a little crack such that hands or weapons cannot fit in. It is better to sweat for some minutes (sometimes hours) than to get robbed of your snazzy smartphone and bling, hard-earned money or even your life. Also, keep your valuables out of view so you don’t attract unnecessary attention.

Get On The Phone

It can get really hard to find time to sneak in a phone call in the middle of a busy day. What better time to do this than when you are stuck in traffic and a place that you don’t want to be. The long hours spent stuck in traffic can be used to check in with your friends, call your family or fix that appointment you’ve been meaning to do. And if you happen to run out of airtime in the middle of these phone calls, makes sense to quickly use your Zoto app to recharge on the go.

What a sad day. We are truly saddened by the passing of the lovely Booby Kristina, daughter to the iconic Whitney Houston. Our prayers are with her family and fans. Do you think she passed too soon?

Life is very fickle, make the most of it always! Have a great week everyone. #myZoto

Finding the right balance between work and the rest of your life can be a challenge. We've pulled together tips to help you make sure you work to live, rather than live to work.

1. Be flexible. More and more employers offer flexible working conditions. If starting earlier in the day or working from home would help, ask your employer if it's possible. They'll benefit from your increased focus and commitment if you're working in a way that suits your personal circumstances.

2. Manage your time well. You might spend 11 hours at work, but if four of them are spent chatting to colleagues, writing personal emails or researching holidays then it's not a productive or healthy situation. Keep a strong focus on work at work, leave on time and use those extra hours to enjoy life.

3. Say no with a smile. There's no point volunteering for every project if the quality of your work is going to suffer. Saying no firmly but politely shows you've got a clear understanding of your priorities.

4. Take care of yourself. Remember to keep your energy levels up with a proper lunch break (don't just snack on crisps), go home at a decent hour and never check work emails in bed. If you let your health take a back seat to your job, the quality of your work will go downhill and you'll end up even more stressed.

5. Schedule in fun. This helps stop your work from eating into your personal life. If every Wednesday you want to leave on the dot at five to go to a gym class or meet friends, then make it happen.

6. Make work your friend, not your enemy. Seek out tasks and projects that you particularly enjoy doing. If you let your managers know that you're good at something and enjoy doing it, they're likely to give you more of the same.

7. Develop your skills. Take advantage of any training opportunities available. Developing your skills will help you to do your job faster and more efficiently.

It's the second half of the year, known as summer in some countries and rainy season here in Nigeria. Can anyone tell the difference between summer and rainy season?
