NSGTakesZanzibar: Night life
The first night I arrived my hotel the barman told me Friday nights are ladies night at the club and it would be nice if I attend by 11pm.I wanted to, but I was exhausted from my trip &when my alarm woke me by 10:50pm I couldn’t get myself to leave my bed.
A kenyan guy I met yesterday told me Saturday nights at the club are usually the highlight of the week so I made plans to attend that one.
9pm I started feeling sleepy again. I didn’t trust my alarm so I set it for 10pm so I’d have enough time to stretch. I was up at 10pm & I felt as fatigued as I was the previous night. I didn’t want to take my chances so I told myself I’m going to hang in the bar with other tourists till 11pm when the party starts. No phones, no distractions. I set out with a sleepy eye&every other person at the bar was just in their own world. Some white guy offered me a cigarette&I walked away since I didn’t come to Zanzibar to fall victim of peer pressure.
I contemplated returning to my room to wait small but my bed has this sleeping magic so I told myself I was just going to lie on one of the beach hammock until the clock strikes 11pm in 30 mins.
The last thing I remembered was rocking myself in the beach hammock. It was too sweet. Then I heard voices whispering&I opened my eyes to find 4 security guys with torchlights in front of me. “I’m waiting for 11pm when the club opens.” I said sleeplishly.
“Its ten past two Dada.” One said in his Swahili accent. Jesus! I jerked up and sleep raced to the club. I wasn’t even thinking. I opened the door to find the white people dancing salsa to makosssa music. Flavor’s nabania came up and they were still salsaing happily. The Nigerian in me wanted to distribute white handkerchiefs to all of them. What is wrong with these people? I could not take it anymore. I exited the club and hurried down the stairs. “Where you be? The party is soon over!” I heard my Kenyan friend say behind me.
“Resting. You won’t understand.”
He said. “I understand. Homesick. I give you phone. You call your mummy. You call your daddy. You alright.”
“WHO SAID I WANT MY MUMMY OR DADDY?” I screamed. “You people salsaing to nabania are the ones that are not alright!”

What do they know? You can't blame them na.
The least you could have done was to give them few dancing steps, so they'll raise their eyebrows and drop their jaws.
Haha. Funny you dear
.........the Nigerian in me wanted to distribute white handkerchiefs to all of them, lolz..NSG, please give them the accurate dance steps. Hahahahhha
My dear, how far? This one you are not giving us the full shibang, I am not happy oo.
Especially your snaps, they are soo boring. Please spice it up with more snaps and glimpse of you
Come to IG stories. I post every hour there because my followers are very active there. Juggling all these social networks in addition to blogging is time consuming for me.
distribute white handkerchiefs... lol.. you should have shown them how its done in naija...why run away from that fun???
Babe show dem nah!
NSG from what I have read from your NSGTAKESZANZIBAR episodes : you are as boring as f**k excuse me French lol. how could you be sleeping on a vacation?
The only time I've vacationed outside the country was one of my wildest. even I couldn't beleive all the sins I committed.
Babe YOLO oooo jeeeez. GoodGirlShit
Please don't spoil NSG for us. She's a child of God
Depends on what your intent is, no? If NSG wants to take it easy and unwind then why not? It's a vacation, laid back is good abeg.
@NSG, when are we going to see your face?
Snap mooorrreeeee!!! Less talk, more pictures!
Nsg take time & write scores oooo.Nigeria 2
Those Oyibos are mad ni. Shey if I enter their club and Dance Makossa or Etighi when Beyonce or Whiz Khalifa is playing, they will like it? Na better yeye dey worry them.
PS: Dear NSG, I want to believe you didn't travel all the way to Zanzibar to goan sleep. You'd better catch your fun while you can. Happy vacation.

My thoughts exactly Cherrydoc. Who goes on vacation and leaves a party to go and sleep bc people are dancing Salsa to Flavoir's song? Only NSG.
Especially after sleeping from 10.30pm to 02.10am. Abi Zanzibar tsetse-fly bite you?
Hehehehe, NSG don't mind all these people jare. Reading a booking while lying in the hammock with a cool drink is what i would do half the time. But sha do one of the water activities like snorkeling if you can.
NSG! NSG!! NSG!!! How many times did I call u??? Don't go and dull oh....it's a VACATION ke!!!
Chocoberry..dont mind NSG jare..she's not that boring she's jux trying to play safe as a good gal..u know her husband might b on this blog and if he's reading how randy and riotous life she's living in Zanzibar what do u think will happen?her chance are getting slimmer by day if she try that wild lifestyle so try to understand her plight..she gotta b real careful out there as a single lady flexing all alone by herself...NSG pls let them know hw we roll dat dance in 9ja style nah..no go fall our hand there o!rep us well..
NSG I don't understand you o.. So you still carried this your prim and proper, stuck up attitude all the way to Tanzania. You better loosen up.
The white guy offering you a smoke was just being nice & polite, you could have just said thanks I don't smoke or even shake your head and smile, trust me, he would not have shoved it into your mouth. He was probably bored like you and trying to start a convo.
The people you saw salsaing were at least catching fun the best way they could. And they had a better time than you that is busy looking for handkerchief to give them.
You need to chill out
You need to relax
You need to let yourself go
If you wanted to sleep, you should have checked into one 5star resort here in naija, but you risked your life and travelled all the way to East Africa so you better make it worthwhile.
Show us something interesting..
Show your face..
Haba
End of rant
Love u😚
👏👏👏
Correct for 100%.I don't even know why she left the club. Like how? U know white people don't have rhythm so they would dance anyway anyhow.
If you had decided to be different, they would have followed your lead.
NSG you are really turning out to be boring. Jesus didn't die for this 😒.
NSG, you forgot to write the score.
With the way they have just murdered the flavour in Flavour's song, I think the score should be Tanzania 1: Nigeria 22
NSG, enjoy yourself o. Those three piercings you have on your ears should say something (you aren't as prudish as you'd like us to believe). So don't dull BUT play safe. It's a vacay!
Haha... naijasinglegirl reminds me of the character ifemelu in chimamanda's americanah... she can be so resolute eh.....enjoy yourself girl..
Who resolution epp?
Sorry nsg..I guess we are just sad that the count down to the trip was more fun than the trip itself seems...please have fun and share with us here.
