The weekend is here, and it feels as though the days are moving by so quickly. There always seems to be so much to be done, from work to family and personal life, which can leave you stressed out and overwhelmed. Well, it’s not too late to start considering various ways to find an escape route out of the hustle and bustle for the remaining days of the year.

Here are four ways to upgrade your social life this weekend.

Join a club

No, not the kind with velvet ropes and dress codes. We’re talking about hobby clubs, interest groups, and sports teams. From book clubs to football leagues, there are plenty of ways to meet new people while doing something you enjoy. Not only will you get to connect with others who share your interests, but you’ll also have a regular activity to look forward to each week.

Attend a live event

There’s nothing quite like the energy of a live event, whether it’s a concert, sporting event, or theatre performance. Check out what’s happening in your area and gather some friends for a night out. You’ll make memories that will last a lifetime.

Try a new restaurant

Food is the universal language, and trying new restaurants is a great way to explore different cultures and cuisines. Choose a new spot that you and your friends have been wanting to try and make a reservation. You’ll get to bond over delicious food and new experiences. One good way to identify nice restaurants is to check restaurant review blogs/platforms to find a good one worth your money.

Host a binge-watching party

Nothing brings people together quite like a good TV show. Interestingly, the DStv Step Up reward offer provides you access to a wide array of shows and movies. Pick a good series and invite everyone over for a binge-watching party. A good recommendation is the new Africa Magic indigenous series – Nwanyi Ike, Dala Dala and Irora Iya. Set up a popcorn station and make some snacks, and you’ve got yourself a night of fun and bonding.

So there you have it, folks. Whether you choose to join a club, try out a new restaurant, host a binge-watching party or attend a live event, make a commitment to being more social this year. Who knows, you may just find your new best friend or discover a new passion along the way. Cheers to a social year ahead!

If you are a new or existing DStv subscriber, don’t miss out on the Step Up offer where you can upgrade your subscription and get boosted to the next higher plan to gain access to even more intriguing content. The new Africa Magic indigenous shows – Nwanyi Ike, Dala Dala and Irora Iya – airs every weekday on Africa Magic Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba at 7 pm, 8 pm, and 6:30 pm, respectively.

He also called for equal treatment regarding sound quality for all artistes.

“Hold on, there are too many sound issues. it is messing up my whole performance I am seriously not feeling this sh*t at all,” he said

“It is too messed up. I am representing Africa, this is too messed up. If the sound cannot be perfect for every artiste that gets on this stage… Africa is in the house and you are messing sh*t up? I will walk out this stage bruh, fix it!”

Controversy trails Flavour’s performance at RCCG pastor Siju’s party

Siju, a pastor and wife of the Idowu Iluyomade, a senior pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), City of David, Lagos, has set tongues wagging on social media for inviting secular singer Flavour to perform at her birthday party.

Siju, who is also a lawyer, speaker and activist, turned 60 last week.

She then celebrated the occasion at the Eko Hotels in Victoria Island in a grand style on Sunday.

The colourful and glamorous birthday party was graced by some notable figures, monarchs and the crème de la crème of the entertainment industry.

The attendees included Tony Elumelu, Toke Makinwa, Ali Baba, and Kenny Saint Brown, as well as Rasaq and Shade Okoya, among others.

In viral videos, Flavour, who was one of the performing artistes, was seen entertaining the guests with hit songs from his music catalogue.

In one of the videos, the singer also serenaded the celebrant on stage while she danced along to his performance.

The footage, however, attracted heated controversy on social media. Several Nigerians on X questioned why a secular artiste like Flavour should be performing at the birthday party of a pastor.

“When you see 60th birthday celebration of PASTOR Siju Illuyomade, then you will know why some people are STILL running away from church!” a user wrote.

Another user added in a lengthy post: “RCCG Pastor Siju Iluyomade, the wife of the senior Pastor of one of the biggest RCCG Parish held her 60th birthday party this weekend and Flavour was the lead artist but no gospel musician”.

Here is what some users had to say:
