Meanwhile in Benin Republicπ§π―, the beaches are free.
You can randomly park your car and walk into the beach.
To add, the beaches are very clean and filled with trees.
Benin republic, 2- 4hours away from Lagos, will show you that the things we consider luxury in Nigeria are truly basic.

The last time I was in Lagos I paid to enter a beach in Lekki.
Not a resort. Not a water park. A beach.
Sand. Water. A coastline that existed long before any of us were born.
Someone bought it. Fenced it. Put a gate on it. Now you pay to touch the ocean.
What kind of government sells its people access to nature?
Happy Democracy Day. π³π¬
