NewsRoundUp at this time begins with Bobrisky, opening up about his experience of being deported from the United Arab Emirates due to their strict Islamic laws. He revealed that he has visited Dubai many times before, but was sent back to Nigeria during his last trip. Speaking on the TokeMoments audiovisual podcast hosted by Toke Makinwa, Bobrisky submitted that his deportation was due to his attire and the day he arrived. “The last time I went to Dubai, I was sent back to Nigeria. I have been there so many times. But that one was their prayer, I think one of their special days. It happened to be on Friday, they go to the mosque. They are holy so extra on that day. When I got there, the camera did not accept my face. You know me na, I was on makeup, I want to brag first class, I want to talk ‘oh! guys, I’ve been to Dubai. Your mummy is in first class’.” , he narrated and added further. “So, I got to the Immigration where you are going to do everything. They saw my passport, they looked at my face. They said ‘face camera’. And I faced the camera. It rejected my face several times. They [Immigration officers] said ‘Are you sure you’re the same person?’ And I said ‘yes’. The man looked at me, he said ‘Idris, you are a Muslim?’. I said ‘yes’. He looked at my passport. He was confused.” According to him while he was later taken to a private office where he was questioned about his gender identity, “So, we went to one of their private offices. And they said ‘Are you trans or..’ I said ‘Well, I used to be a guy’. And they said ‘Oh! on a normal day if it is not Friday’ they would have just allowed me in. But because it was Friday, jumʿah day, they said ‘no, they can’t allow me in’,” he recalled.

CATCH-UP | Longing
CATCH-UP at this time focuses on “LONGING”, a video game.
The Longing is a 2020 point-and-click adventure game created by independent developer Studio Seufz. Set in an underground kingdom, the player controls the Shade, a creature tasked with watching over a sleeping king for 400 days. The Shade performs recreational activities, including reading and exploring, as it waits out the 400 days in real time. The in-game timer continues regardless of the player's actions but moves faster if the Shade performs certain actions inside its home, such as decorating the walls with drawings.
Developer Anselm Pyta conceived of The Longing after hearing the Kyffhäuser legend while visiting the Barbarossa Cave. Pyta sought to explore emotional themes in a narrative-driven story and used time as a game mechanism. The developer was inspired by dungeon synth music, which helped him define the subterranean atmosphere and theme of loneliness. Pyta acted as the primary developer for most of the game's six-year production, having to rely upon personal intuition to design the pacing due to playtesting difficulties.

DATE-LINE BLUES: The First Idol
Submitted into Contest #188 Tom Bombadil writes about a character who’s attending a dinner thrown in their honor, but deeply embarrasses themself during their speech.... view prompt
“Stop daydreaming Mr. Delano.”
In a moment, Mrs. Frampton, subjecting the tender wallflower of my affection to the grotesque spotlight of her own indifference, made cease the contemplation of my life’s own end, the one theme of my existence: Andrea Taylor.
It’s the Spring of 2005; I am a 7th grader at Fort Sumter Middle School, home of the Trojans. Andrea sits enthroned one row ahead, three columns to my right. I have mixed feelings about this, for while it affords me an almost uninterrupted view of her during second and fifth period, it also places her immediately adjacent to Kyle Schwimmer: another seventh grader, possessed of summit-less bicep peaks, which forces me to a fixed conclusion that he’s been injecting steroids intravenously since infancy, and whose hair, defying no less than two laws of thermodynamics, I am sure, manages to appear wet and shiny hours after we all have a just expectation that it should be dry. I despise Kyle Schwimmer.
Andrea herself, ah! Andrea, crowned with brown tresses, and bangs; layered alternately and Kevlar-like in Abercrombie and Hollister tank tops; floating on a cloud of all-white Etnies; and tastefully adorned in torn and acid-washed denim: if Helen, Esther, Cleopatra, Meghan Fox herself stood before me, they could, collectively, aspire to light but a Yankee-candle of affection before the blast furnace that is my love for Andrea Taylor.

TANKO
This village will rise again. This village will once again taste good life, a life of comfort and plenty, so says the gods. (While Townspeople now begin to rejoice, Tanko zeroes in on Chinedu, and shrieks, everyone remains quiet). But then, on the condition that (pointing at chinedu) he is appointed to manage the farms, so says the gods. (there is jubilation in the air).
NARRATOR
Please, ask the gods, who should be king of this village since the
former has gone to join his ancestors. (he does so, once again casting his
strings of divination).
TANKO
(looks into the crowd, zeroes in on Jibola)
Chief Jibola! You are the chosen one.
Other chiefs come forward and invest Jibola in royal robes and crown
while Townspeople dance round him, paying homage.
ROYAL BARD
Kabiyesi, you’ll last long to rule us. Kolanut lasts long in the mouths of them who value it.
Heavy bata drumming materialises and ROYAL BARD dance off to
the rhythm. Suddenly, lighting (the gods) strikes Tanko dead, everyone watches
motionlessly, gapping, stunned.
Narrator turns to look at the corpse, shakes his head slowly, starts
away.
BLACKOUT.

As someone out on the dating frontline with a wishlist for your future partner, owning a home may not be something you immediately think to add amongst tall, funny, loyal and caring. However, research by CIA Landlord Insurance has shown that owning your own property does in fact make you more attractive!
The study revealed that men who own property are 57% more likely to get a match on Tinder than men who were not on the property ladder. And while women on Tinder receive an average of 60% more likes than men, women who own property further increased this percentage. Female property owners also receive 7% more matches than women who don’t own their own house.
