The Last(?) Bob's Bar Bash
Last night Bob Ackerman, Bob of Bob's Bar, hosted the last outdoor music party at his venue. As I've mentioned before, the NAPEX compound has been purchased from the Nigerian Army/Federal Government and the new owner wishes all the current tenants to vacate. According to Bob last night, they now have until January 31st 2007, but he still said that this would be the last party. I've heard rumours elsewhere that some tenants have been given until the end of March.
Bob hinted that there's a plan to reopen in a new venue in the future, but did not make any commitments. Certainly Lagos night life for many expat's will be a different experience after it's gone.
As this was the last time, I took along my camera and took a few shots. It's night time so much of them are quite dark but you should be able to make them out. Click on the photo or the link above to see the set of photos.

How now Aaron? I dont know if you are still active on this site, however I find your stories and pictures very interesting. I am trying to work out if I would have come across you on my travels to Lagos, I knew Bob and his girls from Bob's bar in 2004 and I was also there I think in 2002. The first trip I went from Lagos to Warri. In 2004 I was just in lagos. But I went to Bobs and the Outside Inn most evenings. It would be great to chat and swap stories! I loved it there. Vicky
