In honour of the event, I’ll admonish you to find a reason to raise a glass in celebration. You must not have a spouse, a boyfriend or a lover to do this. You have parents, siblings, kids and most importantly, you have you. So, go ahead and have fun alone or in good company. Celebrate life, health, progress and support. If you’re in Lagos, here are ten lovely restaurants for you to visit.
Farmcity
This hangout spot has two locations, Lekki Phase 1 and Ogudu. Its allure lies in its multi-themed setup.
