In today’s hustle culture, the need and importance of rest and relaxation should be more emphasized. According to the United Nation’s projections, the life expectancy for Nigeria in 2022 is 55.44 years, a 0.57% increase from 2021.
Besides genetics, insecurity, and other factors that are out of an individual’s control, other factors are a person’s lifestyle – adequate exercise, their diet, risky behaviours, and the amount of rest and sleep they get. The benefits of taking a vacation go beyond a person’s life expectancy. It increases one’s productivity, lowers stress levels, and gives better overall mental and physical health.
According to research published in the Journal of Happiness Studies, the ideal length of a vacation is exactly eight days. Researchers noted that a person on vacation will feel an increase of happiness over the first several days of vacation, with that feeling peaking on the eighth day and either plateauing or decreasing from then.
When planning to take a vacation, budgeting is necessary because it helps reduce superfluous spending. Deciding to take a short break to reorient yourself does not have to break the bank. Nigeria has quite a few tourist attractions that should be considered, making rest and relaxation possible in our own backyard.

Only the resort in lagos is alive, all others mentioned are dead long time ago
With the incidents of incessant security breaches rampant in Nigeria.
It’s not advisable for one to embark on such vacation, please
More and a place with security.
What of romatic place for couple
The road to Badagry is so bad that it puts people off. It’s an okay place to go,if you overcome the drive there from within Lagos.
Reason you can take a boat from Marina to Badagry and back
Please can you put location to all the places mentioned because I can only see Lagos and Bauchi.
Hello, pls can you confirm the pictures Whispering palms is recent because the last time I went I promised I would never go back it was a horrible experience service and amenities wise . That is aside the nightmare of traveling the Lagos -Badagry expressway
That pix of whispering palms is false. I live in Badagry and regularly visit whispering palms…Just so u don’t expect too much.
I was going to say the same, left Badagry at least 2 years and counting now, whispering palms isn’t what’s depicted in that picture, not even the beaches
Let’s connect my fellow Badagry person.
Can you try and make more sense by adding the location of these places, is so annoying to read something like this without knowing the location
Thnx for the info. However is this the recent state of these resorts or from long ago?
How can you be promoting a place without adequate information on the state within Nigeria, geographical location and the surrounding environment and landmarks to watch out for?
I’d also expect research to give a clearer first-hand opinion on what to expect. This isn’t a proper though through
Yes, we all need vacays
