The opposite day, I made my approach by means of the busy visitors ridden roads of Lagos to satisfy up with associates at Jazzhole Lagos in Ikoyi. Jazzhole is quick turning into considered one of my favourite locations to be in Lagos and I’d inform you why. I might additionally inform you of the proprietor together with her fierce overprotective however humorous and homely method however that can want a full put up.
You see, I’ve been to Jazzhole Lagos as soon as just a few years again (and even blogged about it right here) and although I beloved it there then, assembly Mrs. Tejuosho a.okay.a Mama Jazzhole throughout my previous couple of visits made my keep a bit extra enlivening.
Jazzhole Lagos is a quaint bookshop, file retailer and occasional store positioned at 168 Awolowo highway in Ikoyi. Though I like to consider it as far more than simply that, I like to consider it as a breath of contemporary air as a substitute. If you reside in a metropolis as busy as Lagos, you come to understand the little issues that make all of it a bit higher.
Jazzhole comes throughout as unassuming while you stroll previous it, however inside is one other world lined by rows and rows of books and information of all genres in a fashion that you would be able to inform that it was put collectively by somebody with an inventive thoughts, inventive fingers or each.

Capping all of it up is the lovable little cafe in the back of the store with a stunning sitting space and decor to go. I can go on and on about Jazzhole Lagos and the superior time all of us had there however I’ll quite you go test it out your self. And should you occur to satisfy Mama Jazzhole, please make sure you let her know you’re from Dr. Cassandra.
After a few laughs, chats and deep conversations with Mama Jazzhole (I’m certain she wouldn’t take properly to this identify haha), we took a Keke Napep to Bogobiri, only a quick distance away from Jazzhole in Maitama Sule. Now, I’ve been to Bogobiri a few occasions however by no means had I spotted that there was additionally a e-book section of the place.
I knew concerning the small artwork retailer, Sure. In regards to the restaurant and lodge, Sure. However not concerning the e-book part and artwork gallery. Bogobiri has a approach of unusual you. It appears to be like like a small area however homes fairly plenty of issues.
We met a person who appeared elated when he realized we truly got here with the intent to see the e-book part. Apparently, not lots of people find out about it/ come for that. So should you ever go to Bogobiri, make sure you try that part too.
Being surrounded by all these books, first at Jazzhole Lagos and later on the e-book part in Bogobiri took me again to days after I couldn’t be discovered with no e-book in hand. I’ve all the time beloved to learn. Rising up, all I did was learn and skim and skim. Little marvel, It wasn’t a tough resolution that I might go on to check medication
My earliest recollection of studying a e-book was Snow White and the seven dwarfs. Over time, my mom would inform me of how a lot I beloved that e-book. How I might sit in a nook thumbing by means of the pages like I understood a phrase of it.
Makes me marvel what went fallacious. Somebody on Instagram gave a fairly good angle to my state of affairs stating that possibly I simply don’t want the consolation that books used to present me and possibly I’ll simply quite reside in my actuality now.
I contemplated over her suggestion as a result of it made a variety of sense to me. Though my mum would inform you that for so long as I’ve been, I’ve all the time had my nostril in a e-book however I’ll say that studying throughout my teenage days was majorly to occupy my thoughts, as a form of escape. I immersed myself in my books to flee the disappointment. It gave me one thing to do aside from struggle the demons in my head.
I haven’t picked up a e-book that wasn’t medically associated for the previous 12 months now, and even after I decide a non-medical e-book, I all the time discover it so onerous to get by means of it.
I’m at present studying “Learn how to be Married, A e-book by Jo Piazza really useful by Afoma and I’ve already skipped by means of greater than a few pages and eventually put it down. Possibly I simply haven’t discovered that e-book that’ll maintain my consideration so I’m open to strategies please and naturally, strategies on learn how to get my studying mojo again.
