Easter holidays in Naija are a collabo of joy, party jollof, fun, family bonding, and let’s be honest – expenses.
From travel plans and church outings to family functions and Easter sales popping on your Instagram feed, your wallet is probably already side-eyeing your bank app.
But here’s the thing: spending smarter this Easter isn’t about saying no to enjoyment. It’s about choosing the right money moves so you don’t end the month with gbese before salary hits.
- Plan Your Transport – No last-minute waka
Unleash your inner Dora the Explorer. There’s plenty to see around you if you know where to look. And if you’re travelling, do yourself (and your wallet) a favour and book transport early.
Even better? If you’re based in Lagos, try the Lagos–Ibadan train instead of navigating that expressway traffic with fuel that now costs the price of small chops at a wedding.
You’ll save money, avoid stress, and maybe even enjoy the ride.
- Visit Family – They said they miss you, remember?
You see all those “Just checking on you” phone calls from your mum, aunties, uncles… Now is the perfect time to visit.
The best part? Free homemade food. No need to worry about cooking or buying. If you’re lucky (or skilled in packaging), you’ll even go back with takeaway for the week.
- Settle Your Bills Early
Public holidays or not, NEPA doesn’t sleep. Neither does your internet provider or cabletv. Pay your bills before the long weekend to avoid unexpected blackouts or no internet during that Easter movie night.
You sef deserve enjoyment!
- We are Out Inside!
Who says fun has to be expensive? Organize a Bring Your Own Bottle (BYOB) party with friends. Add board games, karaoke, fun and laughter and the rest is history.
- Get a Quick Loan before the weekend hits
Running low on cash before salary week? Don’t borrow from “Aunty Promise” with 25% interest. With UCEE, you can get an instant loan of up to ₦2 million without collateral and flexible repayment plan. So, whether you need to shop for easter, to foot travel expenses to spend time with family and friends, etc. UCEE is here for you.
- Top Up Your Savings and Investments
Yes, it’s a holiday, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make your money work for you. With UCEE, you can earn up to 20% interest per annum on your savings. Even a small top-up now moves you closer to your goals.
Bonus Tip: Declare a “No-Spend” Day This Weekend
Challenge yourself to 24 hours of spending nothing. No impulse buying, no deliveries, no “I just want to check something at the mall.”
Pay bills early, borrow responsibly, top up your savings and enjoy the holiday!
Happy Easter from UCEE!
