African Fashion and Arts Exhibition, is set to put together the biggest
creativity show in the city of Lagos tagged Lagos Expo with the theme: home of
creativity.

and creativity globally by focusing of four areas which include: FASHION, ARTS,
FOOD AND DRINKS.

to storm the two days expo, that is billed to be one of the largest gathering
of people from the creative industry across Africa like Ghana, Senegal, Togo
and Cameroon.

Expo2019 will give opportunity for brands and businesses to showcase their
products and work to a ready audience.
Adeniyi also says the expo will provide direct customer
feedback, develop product knowledge and the chance to network with key industry
players, brand influencers and guests all at a spot giving everyone the chance
to buy, sell and network to build net worth.
He admitted that one of the hardest things in business is
customer reach and selling, hence the Lagos Expo is an opportunity to provide a
platform to reach distributors and sell to customers all at a spot while using
the chance to build customer data.
It was also noted that exhibitors have a chance to vie for
any of the four awards within the period of the Lagos Expo, which include the
best fashion designer award, best artist award, best food company award and
best drink company award.
Guests at the venue will choose the winners during the
second day of the exhibition through a transparently designed selection and
winning process, he added.
Exhibitors, who are the focus business owners, have an
option of choosing the premium stand, the standard or the start up brand arena
exhibition stand. Each exhibition category is carefully planned to meet the
need of the exhibition package or offering.
The Afrik Diary team also stated that they are working on
brand ambassadors, stating that these will be communicated to the public
through their Lagos Expo social media platforms: facebook and Instagram mainly
and urged the general public to connect through the Lagos Expo handles.
David Abioye Launches New Church, Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly, Amid Jubilant Crowd
Former Vice President and retired pastor of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Abioye, has officially inaugurated his new ministry, Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly, marking a new chapter in his over four-decade-long spiritual journey.
The launch took place today, Sunday, May 4, 2025, during the ministry’s first Sunday service, which saw a massive turnout of enthusiastic worshippers. The atmosphere was charged with excitement as congregants gathered to witness what Abioye described as the “manifestation of God’s eternal purpose.”
In a passionate address during the inaugural service, Abioye emphasized that the establishment of the new church was not the result of public opinion or personal ambition, but a divine assignment birthed from deep spiritual conviction.
“May I make it very clear that the inauguration of this assembly is not in response to demands of people to start a church,” Abioye declared. “But by the emergence of God’s eternal purpose, ordained from the foundation of the word, which is just coming to light at His own time.”
The renowned cleric explained that the Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly is founded on divine direction and is dedicated to the spiritual development, edification, and victory of believers worldwide.
Clarifying his role in the new ministry, Abioye stated that he does not view himself as someone attempting to fulfill the entire Great Commission alone, but rather as a messenger raised for a specific divine assignment within God’s broader agenda.
“In the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, for the spiritual development, edification, and triumph of the saints globally… this assembly is hereby inaugurated,” he declared, drawing a resounding “Amen” from the congregation.
The launch follows Abioye’s retirement from Living Faith Church in October 2024, alongside Pastor Thomas Aremu, after the church implemented a policy setting a mandatory retirement age for senior leaders. Abioye bowed out of active service at the age of 63, concluding a distinguished ministry career under the leadership of Bishop David Oyedepo.
As the curtain lifts on this new ministry, many see it not as a departure from Abioye’s legacy, but as a continuation of his divine calling—this time under a new banner with a global vision.
