Shopping! Shopping! Shopping! That’s a topic of interest for most girls. They get into a store or market and shop till they drop, that’s how most girls like to spend their day. Well, what places in Lagos would most of you enjoy shopping at? For starters, there is the “Mega Plaza” which is basically the first real big shopping mall in Lagos (though it was razed down by fire, but has since been reconstructed and reopened). What a lot of people enjoy most at Mega Plaza is its sharwama, suya and ice cream. Right now, Mega Plaza has a lot of competition on it’s hands with other cool places that people love to go to, like the “Silverbird Galleria” in Victoria Island. I must say that the first time I went there, I thought I was in some galleria in Europe; sort of reminds you of the world-famous ”Galeries Lafayette” in Paris. Silverbird has a variety of stores and of course, some world-class cinemas, too. Some of the stores have their prices way in the skies, but altogether, it’s a unique place. Then, there is the “The Palms Shopping Mall”, recently opened in Lekki. Gosh, the place is so nice. It’s the kind of mall you’ll find in the US or UK; 9ja is really stepping up oh! The two major stores in the Palms are ‘Shoprite’ and ’Game.’ Shoprite is a combination of a grocery store and a regular store. What’s more is that the prices are quite reasonable and affordable. There’s also a “food court” at the back where you can get all sorts of foodstuff to munch while shopping (remember, you go pay o!). The Game is a combination of several store-types rolled into one – it’s somewhere between an electronic, homegoods, cosmetics, furniture, stationery and a home improvement store. It is really a megastore. Now, the guys know we didn’t leave them out! So, if you’re looking for movies, TV screens, cell phones, Game boys, digital cameras, refrigerators, VCD’s, DVD’s and the like, the Game is the place to go. There are other small stores at the Palms such as Essenza for all you perfume freaks, clothes stores for guys, girls and little kids, Mario’s pizza  &  fast food, and many more. There are plans to open cinema halls in the near future; these should provide some competition for the cinema halls at the Silverbird Galleria. 

So, if you are looking for new places to shop, get into your car or a bus and find your way to one of these malls. You are sure to have a great time shopping till you drop.
