Mai Atafo, the most prominent fashion designer, added a new achievement to his resume when he was recently honored for his contributions to the fashion business in Nigeria and elsewhere at the inaugural The African Prints Party (TAPP2022).

The awarding of Mai Atafo by Blackdrum 360 CEO Emmanuel Odole was the highlight of the evening. After accepting the honor, the multi-award-winning Atafo expressed his gratitude for the thoughtfulness.

This has been a very humbling experience for me, he remarked. This prize from The African Prints Party organizers is a fantastic honor for me. In addition to continuing to inspire and support upcoming African designers, I will continue to contribute to the industry's expansion.

For his part, Dr. Emmanuel Odole, the event's organizer, referred to Atafo as an icon who has influenced countless designers all over the world.

"His output speaks for itself. There is no denying Mai Atafo's status as an icon. He has elevated the fashion sector in Nigeria through hard effort and innovation, which is why the #TAPP2022 team chose to honor him with this prestigious award.

Real life dragon’ found in Mongolia: Origins revealed - see video

A video purporting to be footage of a “real life dragon,” allegedly “caught” in the wild, has been doing the rounds on Twitter – and not for the first time. The present iteration of the viral video has picked up more than 160K likes on Twitter. Daily Loud shared it and encouraged their followers to “decide” if the supposed “dragon” is real or fake. On Reddit, people have already started joking that it’s the body of Arrax, Lucerys Velaryon’s late dragon from House Of The Dragon. Are ‘real life Mongolian dragons’…real No. Dragons – at least, dragons with long necks and long tails and wings – don’t exist in real life. But even with its unreality established, a question remains. It might not be a “real dragon,” but it is a real animal? Strange animals have washed up on beaches before, prompting confusion.

In order to serve as a warning to others in the industry, the Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) claimed it conducted a raid in Enugu and seized unlawful digital cable networks worth N250 million. The Real Summit Television studios, located in Nsukka, Enugu State, were sealed by the Commission on September 21. According to information acquired, the television channel reportedly stole the programming from other digital satellite transmitting stations like DSTV and Startimes.

In order to prevent the broadcast station from engaging in radio piracy, the Commission also turned off the transmitter and other devices. The Enugu State Director of N...

Nigerian pharmacists are leaving, says the chairman of the PSN - Feed9ja

The Osun state chapter of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) raised concern over the recent wave of pharmacists leaving the nation as they celebrated World Pharmacists Day with their counterparts around the world. Responding to inquiries from journalists in Osogbo, the capital of Osun state, on Sunday, Professor Moses Akanmu, the state's PSN chairman, said that pharmacists from various professions today prefer to look for greener pastures abroad rather than practice in Nigeria. While bemoaning the recent surge in the production of phony pharmaceuticals, he revealed that the association would deworm 2,000 youngsters throughout the state's municipalities in honor of its 30th anniversary, which coincidentally happened to fall on the same day as Pharmacist Day internationally. "Many pharmacists are emigrating from the nation," he said. People are departing, including academic pharmacists, industrial pharmacists, hospital and administrative pharmacists, and commun...
