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

Girls Play Forward 2026 has moved from 9 October to Friday, 30 October, giving girls and women in Lagos a new date for Carven and Females in Gaming Network’s gaming programme. FIGN announced the change on 5 October. The event starts at 10am WAT at Carven Gaming Arena, Landmark Event Center, Lagos, with racing, dance and competitive gaming activities. The linked registration form lists free entry and a current ₦200,000 prize pool. It says selected participants will receive invitations; applying does not guarantee a competition place. The organisers have not published a game-by-game prize split or a closing deadline. Beyond competition, the programme introduces participants to gaming careers and connects women with a Nigerian community of players and creators. It is a practical local entry point into an industry whose opportunities extend beyond playing professionally. Use the updated announcement and registration form before making plans: FIGN’s event webpage still displays the former 9 October date. For anyone considering a gaming career, playing is only one route. Tournament operations, broadcasting, community management, design and content production all support the scene. Before registering, check which activities you want to join and watch for the invitation instructions. The published call does not identify individual game titles or competition formats. ## Sources - [FIGN’s 5 October date-change announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DeG9PJriDye/) - [Official Carven x FIGN registration form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf60bb6NpKdjbfIrGFksF_t0mMwmbiZkA9Ix6_0hRZjsIgX_w/viewform) Image: Carven x FIGN official date-change poster; cropped for responsive display.

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?
