If you are not about the staying at home life, you could try any of these ideas.

1. Visit an amusement park

An amusement park is just the perfect place to be on a public holiday, especially with family. It's loads of fun for you and the family.

2. Go to the beach

Whether it's in Lagos or Akwa Ibom, as long as there's a beach close to you, it's always a good idea to visit the beach. Along with the chill that it brings, you could meet other people, play beach games and swim.

3. Attend a concert

People take advantage of the Independence day to organise events, especially concerts in honour of the day. Locate the nearest concert or party happening around you and enjoy!

4. Go paintballing

If you and your friends are running out of ideas on what to do, paintballing is a great way to pass the time and also have crazy fun at the same time.

5. Have a picnic with family

Ditch the boring family gatherings at home and take your loved ones to the park for an enjoyable picnic.
