The
Suntan Beach in Badagry, Lagos state, on Thursday recorded a large turnout of
fun seekers, who thronged the place to celebrate Christmas.
People
from Lagos and some neighbouring states started to gather at the beach as early
as 10.15a.m while the presence of numerous fun seekers made petty traders do
some brisk businesses at the beach.
Mr Abdul
Sallah, a seller of roasted meat popularly known as Suya, told reporters that
he made more than N4,500 gain before mid-day.
He said
that he was still expecting to earn more income before the end of the day.
“I wish
everyday were public holiday so that I can make this kind of money every time.
“The
turn-out is so encouraging; this means good business for me,” he said.
Mrs Tiiti
Lawal, a seller of soft drinks, could not hide her joy over the profit she
made.
“Business
has been great today and I am glad about this because things have really been
slow for the past one week.
“My
drinks finished and I quickly went to the market to get more. This kind of
thing happens once in a while and I am going to make good use of it,” she told
NAN.
Miss
Abeni Oguntayo, a fun seeker, who came from Abeokuta, said that she took
advantage of the holiday to seek fun at the beach.
“Due to
the nature of my job, I rarely have time for myself; so I usually use holidays
like this to relax and catch fun,” she said.
