New York, April 4, 2023
The world’s leading international advocacy organization Global Citizen today announced details of the second annual Global Citizen NOW summit, setting a global agenda for action on the most urgent issues facing humanity and the planet. Taking place in New York City on April 27 and 28, Global Citizen NOW will convene government leaders, private sector executives, grassroots activists, cultural innovators, philanthropic experts, and leading journalists for a dynamic two-day event.
Every Global Citizen NOW session will feature definitive next steps for participants, attendees, and global citizens to take immediate action on urgent issues including climate change, the global food crisis, gender inequality, protecting activists, and more. The program will feature major announcements on policy initiatives, intimate conversations with renowned artists, as well as corporate and world leaders. Various sessions will be livestreamed on Instagram and LinkedIn.
For the first time this year, global citizens around the world can contribute perspectives and questions for potential inclusion in Global Citizen NOW programming by downloading the Global Citizen app, visiting globalcitizen.org/message, or texting via WhatsApp on +27 63 534 5148.

Global Citizen NOW is an important opportunity to advance the debate and will help pave the way to a New Global Financing Pact to be agreed in Paris in June,” said Emmanuel Macron, President of France.
“To fight climate change, end hunger and empower girls and women, the world needs our leadership; we all have the duty to act NOW,” said Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission.

Is Your Partner a Die-Hard Football Fan? Gift Them These 8 Things
Another die-hard football partner
If you’re sure you don’t want the stress of them having to choose between you and football all the time, get them another partner who’s a die-hard football fan so they can stop stressing you out, and everybody wins. But if you can’t deal with your boo having another boo, keep on reading.
Original football jersey
Original football jerseys are so hard to find, so getting them one would really blow their mind and make them see that you’ll do anything for them to be happy.
A plot of land
Since they love football so much, buy them a plot of land to use a football field, so they can start their own local football club. Who knows, maybe they’ll build the next Man Utd
Ticket to watch a live game
If all the support they’ve shown for their favourite team has only been over the TV, why not buy them actual tickets to a live game so they can watch their faves in action?
A shoutout from their favourite footballer
If Odumodu could do it with Declan Rice, you can do it too. All you have to do is get into a studio somewhere and record a song titled Lionel Messi, then sit back and watch everything unfold.
PS5
Yes, you’ve heard it too many times on the internet but we’ll say it again. Buy your partner a PS5 and the latest FIFA edition along with it. If they don’t shed tears of affection for you, come and fight us.
A trip to watch the premier league
Watching a live game is cute, but have you tried flying your partner all the way out to watch the entire premier league? Just try it and see how they break down in appreciation. It’s the little things that matter.
DStv subscription
Or better yet, you can pay for their DStv subscription so that when the Premier League comes back, they’ll be ready to watch it. And it won’t even cost you much because when you pay for a particular package, DStv upgrades you to the next highest package, as part of their DStv Step Up offer. Don’t say we didn’t do anything for you.

Crocs Launch New Colourways for LiteRide™ 360 Collection in 2023
Crocs™, the global leader in innovative casual footwear, has announced the release of new unique colourways for its Literide™ 360 collection for 2023. The new assortment features a fresh take on modern lines, new technology, and revolutionary comfort rooted in Crocs’ DNA.
“I love the new LiteRide 360 because of its comfortability,” says Nigerian influencer, Barrvicks. “It’s unique in its way and is my best footwear at the moment”.
The LiteRide 360 collection is designed for those with an on-the-go lifestyle, offering athletically-inspired clogs that provide a new level of comfort and ease. The clogs are propelled by comfort innovation, including 360 degrees of LiteRide foam in the footbed for even more sink-in softness. The new moulded Matlite™ Motion uppers with perforation patterns mimic the flexibility of a knit fabric, resulting in even more breathability and flexibility, and the rubber outsoles provide increased traction.
Crocs Nigerian Brand Ambassador, Eni Adeoluwa, thinks that what makes the LiteRide 360 collection unique compared to other Crocs styles is that it is softer and lighter. “They are lighter than the other Crocs styles, and you can almost feel like there’s nothing on your leg and you’re just moving,” says Eni. “I love that it’s created with an athletic mind, the sink-in softness, the rubber outsoles that will mean my shoes will last, and I don’t have to purchase other ones in the next month. So then, I’m also being economically savvy”.
With four Jibbitz™ charm holes, each pair of clogs allows for personalisation, and two Jibbitz charms are included with every purchase that says “Lite” and “Ride” on each shoe. The LiteRide 360 clogs offer a plush foam footbed that delivers support and cushioning where your feet need it most.
Barrvicks will be styling this shoe with a casual outfit that speaks fashion, while Eni is going sporty. “I’m wearing my loungewear with them. I’m going to be wearing my joggers with them. I’m going to be wearing my shorts with them. You know it’s going to look athleisure. You look like you’re on the move, and you need to get somewhere. You can’t tell if this person is active or not! That’s the way I’m going, but honestly, I would wear Crocs with anything and everything,” says Eni.
“If you’re considering purchasing the LiteRide 360 collection, don’t get one, get two. Because you’re going to overwear one, and you don’t want people saying you always wear the same shoes daily, ” Eni laughs. “You can’t deny the comfortability, and you won’t want to wear anything else”.
Step into the world-class comfort and styling of these new LiteRide 360 clogs and feel sensational and stylish wherever life takes you.
ABOUT CROCS:
Crocs, Inc. (Nasdaq: CROX) is a world leader in innovative casual footwear, combining comfort and style with a value consumers know and love. The vast majority of shoes within Crocs’ collection contain Croslite™ material, a proprietary, moulded footwear technology delivering extraordinary comfort with each step.

The Best Times to Break up With Your Partner
Break-ups are hard, so if you must end your relationship, make sure you do it one of these 11 times.
End of the year
Everyone knows December is the best time to cut people off. Make sure you do it early enough, so they can use Christmas jekuje to get over you.
January
If you couldn’t break up with your partner in December, try January. They’ll be too busy trying to survive the month to hate you, and they’ll not expect any Valentine package from you.
Valentine’s Day
Imagine being dumped on lover’s day? They’ll see the humour in it in the future. And whenever someone asks them what they got on that year’s Valentine, they can say breakfast.
RELATED: 7 Sure Ways To Surprise Your Partner This Valentine’s Day
Your birthday
Because no one said you couldn’t break up with them on your own birthday. Make sure you collect your gift before you tell them you’re not doing again sha.
Relationship anniversary
Wait till your anniversary and break up. This way, they won’t associate the break up date with bad memories alone.
House party
We all know Nigerians must play truth or dare at parties. Choose “truth” when it’s your turn, and tell them you’re not doing again.
RELATED: Think Out of the Box With These Date Night “Truth or Dare” Questions
Independence day
Because how can you be celebrating independence while you’re living in bondage?
On a Monday
They already don’t like Mondays, so what’s a little heartbreak to go with it? We advise you pick one close to month end, so they’d have money to get comfort food.
April fool’s day
So if they ask you to return all the gifts they’ve given, you can say it was a prank.
On a Sunday
Tell them you saw it in a revelation, simple. They won’t even try to argue with you because what good partner asks you to disobey God?
At a wedding
That way, they can easily find your replacement there.
