For visitors, spotting celebrities is a rare occurrence; in Lagos, it is as simple as recognizing Genevieve Nnaji wearing sunglasses with her hair a little glamorous while browsing the aisles of The Palms, Victoria Island, or Don Jazzy nodding his head to some beat in his car while stuck in traffic. However, if you want to get a glimpse of the real A-list lives, continue reading as Jumia Travel, Africa’s No. 1 online hotel booking service, shares insider tips on where to look for Nigeria’s hottest stars in Lagos.


The Ojez bar
Although this bar does not attract as many A-listers as it once did, some celebrities still patronize it. The hangout, located in central Surulere, serves nourishing local and international cuisines as well as a nightclub and bar for drinks. The most frequent celebrities you will encounter here are Nollywood stars and popular TV icons. At lunch, you might notice Charles Novia and Emeka Osia having an early happy hour, or Funke Akindele questioning her assistant about why they couldn’t get her favorite table.

Quilox
Quilox, a nightclub on Victoria Island, appears to be making the rounds in Lagos right now, with more and more big names being reported there every week. The governor of the state was recently rumored to have visited the club with his entourage. Davido, Wizkid, and Cynthia Morgan have also been reported to have visited the club. The chic decor and variety of drinks (cocktails and spirits) make it easy to see why it has become such a popular hangout in the city.

 

Hotel Eko
The Eko Hotel, located in the heart of Victoria Island, is a popular hangout for celebrities in Nigeria. You can catch them attending one of the many events held at the venue, dining at one of the onsite restaurants, or simply changing money at the Bureau of Change. Celebrities are frequently spotted in this magnificent hotel, particularly for Sunday brunch, as it provides a safe haven where they can come in for a great, relaxing meal without interference.

The Cathederal of the Rock
The Rock Cathederal, one of Lagos’ most beautiful structures, houses a church called The House on the Rock. While a church is not the best place to go celebrity hunting, you might end up sitting next to or in the same row as one. Most celebrities in Nigeria, from Nollywood stars like Chioma Chukwuka and Chidi Mokeme to music stars like Tiwa Savage, P Square, and Seyi Shay, visit this church on Sundays, and as a result, the building sees a constant stream of celebs coming and going. A visit here allows you to kill two birds with one stone: be edified by a good sermon and possibly run into an A-list celebrity afterwards.

Murtala Mohammed International Airport (Local)
Nigerian celebrities are constantly on the move, and the majority of them prefer to travel by plane. While many of these celebrities prefer to travel first class and hide in private airline lounges prior to flight, they must interact with the general public at baggage claim. If you do not encounter them there, proceed to the arrivals terminals at MM1, as this is another location where they are frequently seen.
