Lagos Girls Play Forward Moves to 30 October, With Free Entry and ₦200,000 Prize Pool

Updated 27 October 2026: Girls Play Forward takes place on Friday, 30 October at 10am WAT at Carven Gaming Arena, Landmark Event Center, Lagos. FIGN’s event page now reflects the revised date and identifies a ₦200,000 prize pool for EAFC, with Phoenix Sports (PSM NG) supporting the programme. Carven and Females in Gaming Network are bringing girls and women together for racing, dance and competitive gaming. The programme connects participants with a Nigerian community of players and creators, offering a local entry point into an industry that extends beyond playing professionally. The previously linked registration form advertised free entry and said selected participants would receive invitations. Applying should not be treated as a guaranteed competition place. FIGN says slots are limited: confirm current admission and competition terms with the organiser before travelling. A current closing deadline and detailed prize distribution have not been verified. The event was rescheduled from 9 October to 30 October. ## Sources - [FIGN’s current event page](https://www.fign.org/events/girls-play-forward-2026) - [FIGN’s date-change announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DeG9PJriDye/) - [Registration form previously linked by the organisers](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf60bb6NpKdjbfIrGFksF_t0mMwmbiZkA9Ix6_0hRZjsIgX_w/viewform) Image: Carven x FIGN official date-change poster.

PS5 controllers is a scam

I love PlayStation 5, but I think it is time gamers speak honestly about the PS5 DualSense controller problem. As someone who runs a game center I have bought over 40 PS5 controllers, and the issues are too common to ignore: stick drift, weak buttons, R2 problems, X button issues, and general durability concerns. This is not about hate. It is accountability. Sony created an amazing console, but gamers deserve controllers that last longer, repair options that make sense, and stronger hardware for real-world usage. Drop your experience in the comments: how many PS5 controllers have you bought?
