The Federal Government has declared Monday, May 2 as a public holiday to commemorate the 2016 Workers’ Day Celebration which falls on Sunday, the 1st of May 2016.
The president’s representative, Retired Lt.-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau, Minister of Interior made the declaration in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Mr. Bassey Akpanyung today, Thursday in Abuja.
Instead of sitting around bored with nothing to do or wasting the holiday off, Kemi Filani Blog now brings you 10 ways to spend the day 🙂
1. Movies
Yup, those movies you have stored up in your laptop or mobile phone that you haven’t had time to see..you should watch them. You could also visit the cinemas too.
2. Sleep
Yup, if you are one of those who leaves home as early as 4:30am to get home again at 11pm all because of traffic..you really should sleep well on Monday to make up for the lost hours of sleep.
3. Go on an adventure with a friend.
Grab a companion
and try to find cool new places to explore. Visit a town you have never
been to, or go for a walk in the woods. Remember to practice good safety
habits when exploring a new area and take a charged mobile phone with
you.
- Read a book.
Any book can help expand your vocabulary, inspire/motivate/entertain you or encourage you or teach you something news. However, choose your book wisely so it
is worth your time – pulpy, trashy dime store novels are fun, but aren’t
terribly enlightening.
5. Spend time with others
If you can’t think of things to do, one of your friends probably can.
When all else fails, simply try visiting that close friend of yours or hanging out at a
shopping mall with your friends. A sleepover is another great idea.
- Laundry
Those clothes that you have piled up in a corner of your room…you should wash them.
7. Clean up the house
Saturdays are for tidying the house but seriously how many of us actually clean up on Saturdays when we have got different parties and weddings to attend…so the May 1 holiday is just perfect for a clean up!
- Fast and Pray
Peradventure you have been trusting God for one issue or the other but you haven’t time the time to earnestly seek his face on the issue because of work, then this is a free day to do just that…no disturbance from anybody!
9. Keep up with Blogs
Visit those favorite blogs of yours that you have not had time to check out…keep up with News updates that you have missed.
- Reply all those social media messages you have not had time to attend to
From Facebook to twitter, instagram, Mails etc 🙂
