That’s exactly how it felt when **the OLS Nigeria Team met up for the first time** this past Tuesday, December 17, 2024, at the vibrant Art Tech District in **Abuja**.

Here’s the scoop: the city has two Chelsea Hotels, and the whole time, we thought we were staying at the same one. Debs only realised the mix-up when the cab dropped her and Taj off, and Taj headed up to his room—while Debs discovered she was at the wrong place. Luckily, Jilaga swooped in to save the day and took Debs to the right hotel. Classic misadventure, right?
