One parent, Taiwo, plans to make his daughter’s favorite meal, plantain, eggs, and zobo, followed by an ice cream date, without breaking the bank.

Another parent, Bimbo, suggests activities like painting, pottery, or a visit to Lufasi Nature Park as low-cost and enjoyable alternatives.

Halimah’s plan involves sending her children to their doting grandparents, who spoil them with love and attention, relieving her of the financial burden.

Funmi recommends simple activities at home for younger children, such as watching cartoons and playing with toys, to keep them engaged and happy.

Florence and her women’s group plan to take their kids to affordable yet entertaining places like a children’s pool or the cinema, leveraging group discounts to keep costs down.
