How to cope up with the hot weather in Nigeria


There is this saying that was said majorly in Lagos that “the last person that went to hell from Nigeria forgot to close the door”. This year was no doubt the hottest year I have experienced since my childhood and

the power company NEPA weren’t helping matters either. Inflation and the bad economy is hot enough, now coupled with the hot weather…GOSH!.
Lets get down to it. Here are five ways we can survive or cope with the hot weather in Nigeria.

1. Take your bath regularly
It seem like a basic step since you do this everyday but I am referring to taking your bath not just in the morning before work and in the evening before bed but every other period you seem hot and feel lazy to hit the bathroom. It doesn’t cost you anything to have a quick bath anytime you feel uncomfortable. Your body deserves that shower, go for it.

2. Put on light Clothing
You might be keen on looking good and flashy but you have to understand that people will only tell you that you look gorgeous and that’s it…No other reward for you. Look good but if you want to look better and COMFORTABLE please put on light clothing. Your skin needs it. Life first..fashion later.

3. Work smart
I know that you want to be the next Dangote and you have to hustle to pay the bills but there are ways you can go about this in a smart way. No kill yaself…find other means of working smart. Sorry I cant guess the kind of job you are into but you know that if you think about there are ways to reduce stress and curb unnecessary movement in your daily activities.

4. Put on antiperspirant
We have loads of antiperspirant in stores that can help you reduce your sweating when you feel hot under the scourging sun. Its as if the sun in Nigeria especially Lagos state is different from the sun any where else in the world. If you take care of personal bodily hygiene then this wouldn’t be necessary. Which brings us to the next point…Shaving.

5. Shave your pubic hairs
Oga abeg You need to shave your public hairs and most importantly your armpit. When you have armpit hairs that looks like bob marley’s dreadlocks you are bound to sweat more and feel uncomfortable at the slightest sun heat. Do your clothes and body a favour…shave your armpit.
