Vibes Don’t Need Visa Money
Forget the ₦2 million table stories you see on Instagram. Lagos runs on vibes, not vanity.
Detty December isn’t for the rich — it’s for the resourceful.
You don’t need a black-card to enjoy it; you just need a plan and a payment method that won’t fail when it’s time to scan.
Here’s how to have an unforgettable 3-day Lagos experience on a 200 USDC (~₦290 k) budget — real prices, verified venues, no “network error.”
The Mindset: Spend on Experience, Not Ego
Money doesn’t disappear in Lagos because the city is expensive; it disappears because people stop tracking it. Mular fixes that.
You top-up your wallet, see real-time conversions at ₦1,450/$1 , and spend intentionally.
Every transaction shows exactly what you paid, what rate, what for.
No emotional exchange rates. No surprises.
Day 1 – The Arrival & Ease-In (≈ 50 USDC / ₦72 k)
Morning: Land, drop your bags. Grab lunch at Lammy’s Grill (Lekki Phase 1).
- Shawarma ₦7 k (≈ 5 USDC)
- Smoothie ₦3 k (≈ 2 USDC)
Pay via Mular QR; skip the BDC hunt.
Afternoon: Take a Bolt to Landmark Beach (₦3 k entry weekdays + ₦5 k drink).
- Total ₦8 k (≈ 6 USDC)
Sun, sand, no stress.
Evening: Dinner at Art Café (VI) — paninis ₦6 k, cocktail ₦5 k.
- ₦11 k (≈ 7 USDC)
Walk through the attached gallery before heading home.
Transport + Misc: ₦15 k (≈ 10 USDC).
Total: ≈ 50 USDC
Pro Tip: Load your wallet once before leaving the airport. Uber’s card gateway often fails.
Day 2 – Culture & Chill (≈ 75 USDC / ₦109 k)
Morning: Head to Lekki Conservation Centre (₦5 k entry). Do the 401 m canopy walk.
- ₦5 k + ₦4 k transport (≈ 6 USDC).
Lunch: NOK by Alara (VI) — Senegalese Thiéboudienne ₦12 k, mocktail ₦4 k.
