THE ABUJA VIP CLUBBING EXPERIENCE

Am one of the few who opines that Clubbing need not be in the VIP, rather, you enjoy the fun more when in the open bar/club.

This notion has been imprinted in my mind in most of my adult years up until the 14th of March, 2015.

The whole perception changed and i feel so aloof as to what i might have missed all the while.

The Venue - Ecstasy Night Club, situate in a highbrow area of Wuse II, Abuja.

Little wonder, many men are ready to expend all they've got  and possibly go borrowing just to "belong" or "fit-in" to the upscale Abuja circle.

My experience......the night began with a cruise to the Caribbean, an equally upscale tempo night club. My vehicle isn't the commonly seen around kinda type, so there is a high propensity to turn and have a second look at it, whenever i drive by in your neighborhood. In essence, the bouncers and guards gave us a warm entry into the parking lot, and my friend and i were feeling so cool with ourselves.

Upon entry, we noticed a serene environment, every within and we walked right to the Bar. Curiously, i noticed that even at the open bar, there were wine bottles (henceforth would be referred to as Ororo!) on every table, even though it was the general bar. Out of curiosity, i asked the Bar tender ....why is this the case? He answered snobbishly stating in clear terms that ..... its Saturday, and on this day, you can only buy beer at the bar!

I exclaimed; wtf? So i told my parley to let us leave and hissed.....what the heck, though this was in my mind.

Our next stop was the aforementioned - Ecstasy Club. Same reception was accorded us at the entry, cause i was looking so fly.....just saying. Confidently, my friend says we should peep at the VIP, wherein i was so reluctant to do so . Reason being, to do VIP clubbing, you must purchase at least a bottle of Ororo - Billing - 25 grand. In my head, all i could see was 12 and a half bags of Dangote Cement to push forth my building!. Yeah, miserly, i know.

Upon having a peep into the VIP at Ecstasy - my friend saw someone he knew, and this person was so friendly and shook and hug both of us. They were 2 at their table. We were invited to sit and spend time with them. Alas, the alerted Bouncers were lax and became friendly with courteous smiles and salutes at us. Trust me, they didn't mean shit to me at the time, belated they were.

The VIP Clubbing experience began.

The ladies and men from general club arena were literally stretching their necks and winking at my humble-self. The experience was so mind-blowing. Less i forget, i am a stepper, but the scenery was so off the hook, that i didnt get to dance for 5 minutes.

As expected with the VIP, there were no rowdy sessions, and everyone was so at peace and friendly. The perception is - if you could expend 25 grand on a bottle of Ororo, then we are at par.

A man within the VIP kept walking to our table, and requesting to light his cigarette. This was astonishing because i kept imagining why on earth, cant this dude get to purchase a lighter. Right on his table were 3 bottles of Ororo - implication is he must have expended 75 grand within an hour on Ororo. On one of the walks for another light, he suddenly ordered for a bottle of Ororo to our own table. I had never seen this man in my life, he doesnt know me and tore up 25 grand - just like that. I could swear, if i met him on the street, outside the VIP and request for such for a project, he is gonna think am insane.

Just saying, the VIP experience could be worth it!
