Sky Garden Opens to Brighten Nightlife Experience of Lagos Fun-Seekers
By Modupe Gbadeyanka
Friday, May 19, 2023, will remain memorable for fun-seekers in Lagos as an exquisite rooftop relaxation centre, Sky Garden Lagos, was officially launched amid pong and pageantry.
The facility, established to transform the nightlife experience of Lagosians, is located at 1089b, Adeola Odeku Street, Victoria Island.
The founder of Sky Garden Lagos and chief executive of Crepaway Nigeria, Ms Nashaira Belisa, explained that the idea behind the rooftop lounge is to offer an experience to consumers and guests that will stimulate their senses in a safe and cosy atmosphere while having fun.
“At Sky Garden Lagos, we are offering you a personalized experience where you feel safe in a private area to unwind with friends or business partners in any situation.
“We are open for the middle-class, working-class professionals and entrepreneurs seeking to unwind after work or business with a few drinks or our delicious hookah flavours,” she said.
Sky Garden Lagos offers an experience akin to a garden in the sky where guests are transported to a tropical paradise with its lush greenery, beautiful décor and unbeatable vibes.
The lounge is also open for football fans seeking a pleasant and comfy atmosphere to catch up on live football games like the UEFA Champions League, English Premier League and other football games or competitions.
Ms Belisa said she plans to expand the operations of the facility by multiplying its outlets around Nigeria and beyond as it currently employs more than 30 staff, thereby helping to reduce unemployment as well as offering training opportunities for its workforce.
If you’ve been wondering where all your favourite reality TV shows went after E! Africa went off air, this is for you! Bravo Africa is officially the new plug.
In late August 2025, E! Africa announced it would be discontinuing, with the channel set to go dark on October 7, 2025. For fans who had built their entire reality TV routine around it, the news hit hard. But the gap didn’t stay empty for long.
Bravo Africa stepped in on GOtv Channel 36 with something even better. A fully dedicated space for premium, drama-filled reality television. And if you’re a fan of bold personalities, luxury lifestyles, and unfiltered storytelling, this is one channel you should already have on rotation.
So, what exactly makes Bravo Africa worth your time?
First, the content lineup is stacked. From the iconic Real Housewives franchise, with all its glam, shade, and unforgettable moments, to fan favourites like Below Deck and Married to Medicine, Bravo Africa delivers the kind of addictive TV that keeps you glued episode after episode. It’s the same high-quality reality content E! lovers enjoyed, just more focused and consistently curated.
What also stands out is how the channel leans fully into reality TV culture. This isn’t a mix-and-match entertainment channel; it knows its audience and delivers exactly what they want: drama, relationships, ambition, luxury, and real-life chaos (the good kind).
For viewers who loved E! Africa’s blend of lifestyle and celebrity-driven content, Bravo Africa feels like a natural transition. It’s cleaner, more intentional, and built around shows that already have global fanbases and proven engagement.
Access is pretty straightforward, too. If you’re on GOtv Jolli or any higher package, you already have it, no extra stress, no additional subscription needed.
To upgrade, subscribe, or reconnect, download the MyGOtv App or dial *288#. For catch-up and on-the-go viewing, download the GOtv Stream App and enjoy your favourite shows anytime, anywhere.

A veteran Nigerian actor, Mr Davis Offor, who dazzled many viewers with his role as Clarus in the famous New Masquerade, is dead.
The death of the 83-year-old actor was confirmed on Tuesday by Mr Tony Akposheri, who acted as Zaki in the now-rested comedy sitcom.
“Davis Offor, fondly known as Davis Offor, our own Clarus from New Masquerade, is gone.
“We crossed into the New Year together, laughing, talking, sharing memories, and speaking hopefully about the days ahead. We spoke about life, about plans, about how far we had come. None of us knew that time was already counting differently for you.
“Life, as always, had its own plans.
“You were more than a familiar face on screen. You were a friend, a brother, a man with warmth, humour, and a presence that could light up any space. Knowing you personally was a gift I will always be grateful for.
“It is hard to believe that the voice I heard not long ago is now a memory. Hard to accept that someone so full of life can suddenly become a story we tell.
“Rest well, my friend. You came, you gave joy, you made your mark, and you will never be forgotten,” Mr Akposheri wrote on his Facebook page.
If you’ve been sleeping on Africa Magic Originals, consider this your wake-up call. Shows like The Yard, The Low Priest, and Mother of the Brides are racking up nominations at the 12th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards. From gripping social drama to supernatural chaos and family madness, these homegrown productions are proof that Africa Magic has some of the continent’s most compelling storytelling.
With the awards set to take place on May 9 in Lagos, now is the perfect time to catch up on these standout series. Whether you’re watching for the first time or catching up, Africa Magic Originals are proving why they’re leading the charge in bold, diverse, and unforgettable storytelling.
The Yard
If you love a story where the hero slowly becomes the villain, The Yard was made for you. The series delves into the brutal world of the Ajako bus park, ruled by the ruthless Chief Odafe. It follows Tega, a struggling bus driver, and Odafe Junior, the chairman’s privileged son, who form an unlikely alliance to challenge the system, only to realise that power comes at a dangerous cost.
At AMVCA 12, The Yard is nominated for Best Scripted M-Net Original, Best Series Scripted, and Simileoluwa Hassan is up for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the series.
Our Husband
Our Husband tells the story of Zara Nnamani, whose seemingly perfect life unravels when she discovers her husband’s infidelity. His sudden fatal heart attack leaves her with a devastating secret, forcing an unlikely alliance with his mistress, Ololade, bound together by a truth that could destroy them both.
The writing is just as sharp as the drama, as the series earned a Best Scripted M-Net Original and Best Writing TV Series nomination for this series, proving that the storytelling is as compelling as the plot itself.
Mother of the Bride
Imagine finding out that your entire inheritance depends on marrying off one of your daughters in 45 days. That’s the premise of Mother of the Brides, and it is as chaotic and delightful as it sounds.
The series is a family drama about a Lagos matriarch who, after her husband’s death, discovers she has 45 days to marry off one of her four daughters or lose her inheritance to tradition. Every episode is basically a masterclass in family pressure, wedding drama, and the very specific madness of Nigerian matchmaking culture.
Gloria Anozie-Young is nominated for Best Lead Actress, alongside a Best Scripted M-Net Original nod for the show itself.
The Low Priest
This one is for everyone who loves their drama laced with supernatural twists. The Low Priest follows two rivals who trespass into a sacred shrine, triggering a fate where one is chosen by the gods and the other is cursed. Directed by Femi Ogunsanwo, the series spans 130 episodes packed with ancient forces, mortal grudges, and moral dilemmas that keep you hooked.
The Low Priest is nominated for Best Scripted M-net Movie.
