The weekend is here again! For some, that means back-to-back owambe, stuffing their faces with jollof and doing legwork in asoebi. For others, it’s a soft-life getaway at a private beach, sipping cocktails and avoiding stress like a bad habit. Then there are the homebodies who believe weekends are for sleep, vibes, and catching up on their favorite series.
But have you ever thought about what your weekend plans say about you? Let’s break it down:
1. The Owambe Warrior
If your weekend isn’t complete without rocking a fresh asoebi, spraying wads of cash on a dancing bride, and eating party jollof, you, my friend, are a certified Owambe Warrior. You love a good celebration and probably know someone getting married every Saturday. You also have a long list of tailors who have disappointed you, yet you still give them work (because what’s an owambe without last-minute sewing stress?).
What this says about you:
- You are sociable, lively, and love a good time.
- Your wardrobe is 70% gele, lace, and agbada.
- You never miss an opportunity to stunt on Instagram.
2. The Beach Baller ️
Your idea of a perfect weekend involves soft sand, ocean waves, and a cold drink in hand. Elegushi, Oniru, Ilashe—name it, you’ve been there! You believe weekends are for chilling, vibing to Afrobeats, and escaping the Lagos hustle. You probably have a signature beach outfit, complete with sunglasses and a flowy kimono.
What this says about you:
- You prioritize relaxation and enjoyment.
- You’re a low-key lover of aesthetics (because what’s a beach day without fine pictures?).
- You probably say “soft life” at least five times a day.
3. The Club Hopper
Friday night is for pre-gaming, and Saturday night is for turning up! You know all the hottest clubs in town and can navigate Lagos nightlife like a pro. You have VIP access, know the bouncers by name, and your phone gallery is filled with party snaps.
What this says about you:
- You live for the night and love being the life of the party.
- You have FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and hate dull weekends.
- Your bank account might be crying by Monday morning, but no regrets!
4. The Chill-at-Home Guru
If your perfect weekend includes pajamas, Netflix, and takeout, you belong to this tribe. While everyone else is out and about, you’re under your duvet, avoiding stress and recharging for the new week. You enjoy your own company and only leave the house when absolutely necessary.
What this says about you:
- You love peace and quiet.
- You don’t understand why people willingly deal with Lagos traffic on weekends.
- Your delivery riders know your house because you order food like it’s a full-time job.
5. The Workaholic
Somehow, while others are partying or resting, you are knee-deep in work emails, unfinished tasks, or “one last meeting.” You barely realize it’s the weekend because your mind is constantly on deadlines and deliverables.
What this says about you:
- You take your hustle seriously, and your dreams keep you up at night.
- You probably need a vacation, but you’ll say, “I’ll rest later.”
- Your friends have stopped inviting you out because “you’re always busy.”
