When I get feedback from loyal Pulse Picks subscribers about the lovely time they had over the weekend, I'm always so excited.
Marvellous from Abuja attended the Even in the Day party. He shared, "Everywhere I turned, there were Gen Z baddies, but I maintained composure because I have a beautiful girlfriend. It's been ages since I've enjoyed dancing to cool jams.”
Another Pulse Picks subscriber, Olowo from Lagos said, “I went to Indie Night Live and sat close to the stage. The beautiful lady who was performing came around to serenade me. The photographers even took my picture and posted it on Instagram. I felt so important in that moment.”
