WAO! Love Chronicles: Dating in Lagos
When it comes to love and relationships, history and nature seem to have it that there is no one with a perfection of what is mostly considered today by many as "a game" of love. However, check out this piece of love story courtesy, Ynaija.
Whether you’re meeting someone through a dating app, at a lively nightclub, at a friend of a friend’s party, or on your street, dating in this city is an experience that’s as exciting as it is complicated.
The Journey of Modern
Dating in Lagos
Gone are the days of awkwardly passing notes or meeting someone at a friend’s house party. These days, we use dating apps and social media DMs to meet the love of our lives. Technology has changed how we experience people, and whether it is the best method or not will be a conversation for another day. With a swipe or a DM, you can connect with someone across town or four streets away.
Sadly, connecting with people is not always as easy as it sounds. There are millions of people on social media and dating platforms, so finding “The One” might take a little longer and require a lot more effort than swiping left and right on profiles.

Holidays are usually a form of unity and oneness in the affairs of mankind. So today, 26 April 2025, showcases its own instituted holidays to be observed by all concerned.
Holidays Calendar submits that "World Intellectual Property Day" is a holiday that’s observed every year on April 26th. It was first established in 2000 by the World Intellectual Property Organization to raise the public’s awareness of how trademarks, copyrights, and patents impact everyone’s daily lives.
They also created it to show the public the importance to artists and creators of ensuring their intellectual property remains safeguarded. Since intellectual property is important for innovation and creativity, this is a day that everyone should consider celebrating when it rolls around in April.
The History of World
Intellectual Property Day
In September of 1998, this holiday was first proposed by the Director-General of the National Algerian Institute for Industrial Property. The following April, the institutionalization of the idea was proposed to the U.N. General Assembly.
In August of 1999, the Chinese delegation to the World Intellectual Property Organization also recommended the adoption of a World Intellectual Property Day. In October of that same year, WIPO’s General Assembly approved the adoption of this day, and in April of 2000, it was observed for the very first time.

So, What Happens After The Pope Dies?
Incase you wondering on what NEXT after the passing of the Pope, well wonder no more because Vanguard reports that the death of Pope Francis on Monday sets in motion centuries-old traditions which will culminate in the election by cardinals of a new pontiff — but with a few changes.
According to the report here is how the process unfolds:
– Sede Vacante –
The Catholic Church enters a period known as “Sede Vacante” (Vacant See) during which a senior cardinal takes over day-to-day affairs until a new pope is elected.
The cardinal, referred to as the “camerlengo” (“chamberlain”), in this case will be Irish-American Kevin Farrell, appointed to the role by Francis in February 2019.
He is the only top official in the Church hierarchy to remain in post, with all others required to resign following the death of the pope.

TikTok Sale | Trump says US talking to four different groups
President Donald Trump said on Sunday that his administration was in touch with some groups about the sale of Chinese-owned social media platform TikTok, and that all options were good.
Aboard Air Force ONE, U.S. President Donald Trump said that his administration was in touch with four different groups.
TikTok's fate has been up in the air since a law requiring its owner ByteDance to either sell it on national security grounds or face a ban took effect on January 19.
Reportedly, the law banning TikTok materialized amid concerns that the Chinese government could exploit the app for surveillance or covertly influence US public opinion. As the deadline approached, TikTok temporarily shut down its services in the United States and disappeared from app stores, sparking outrage among its millions of American users. However, after beginning his second term in January, Trump suspended the implementation of the ban for two-and-a-half months in an effort to negotiate a resolution with Beijing. This allowed TikTok to restore service and return to Apple and Google app stores in February.

PRESS RELEASE | NATIONAL RESCUE MOVEMENT (NRM)
January 25, 2025
PRESS RELEASE
NRM EXPOSES POLITICAL JOBBERS
The attention of the National Rescue Movement (NRM) has
been drawn to a publication by one Iliyasu Adamu, masquerading as leading the
northern caucus of the party pledging support for Edozie Njoku’s fake
leadership.
Ordinarily we would not have dignified the said Iliyasu
Adamu who obviously is a political jobber that must have been sponsored by the
embattled Edozie Njoku, who is desperately seeking relevance to the illegality
perpetrated in connivance with Isaac Udeh, the former National Chairman of
National Rescue Movement; but to avoid the situation where unsuspecting and
ignorant members of the party will be misled by this political propaganda, we
have decided to clarify issue as follows:
1. That the Iliyasu Adamu has ceased to be a member of our great party, having been expelled from the party since 2022, when a validly constituted National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, chaired by Mr. Isaac Udeh who was then the National Chairman of the party. Funny enough it is the same Udeh that has turned the same Adamu to a mere tool of propaganda.
