This is a very convenient nearby supermarket to the Studio. The bakery is especially nice and offers fresh bread in the morning (local style bread, vs. Eric Kayser down the road which is a French bakery).

The Nigerian food here is nice (3-5k dishes) and offers takeaway. I recommend the "Village arena" in the back of the hotel after 6pm for a lounge environment, drink/food or to catch a soccer/football game. Knock on the big black gate to enter (enter of Samuel Bishop near the entrance of 1004).
