Friends, family, celebrities, and associates in the entertainment and hospitality sector gathered in the nation’s capital, Abuja to celebrate one of their own, Segun Adewumi Gabriels known, by most as Api Lifestyle, as he turned a year older.
A Nigerian-born social entrepreneur, who has written his name in gold in the entertainment industry in Africa through his company, Apitainment a brand that has provided ‘great times’ through events, businesses, and social gatherings. From Drip City Pool Party to Nights Like This Abuja, Fluxx Urban Luxury Party, The Garage Party, and now the soon-to-be-opened Tokyo NightLife Abuja.
Api Lifestyle had an elaborate lined-up event from dinner to an after-party at the club in Abuja and still took it further by throwing it down with a private beach house party in Lagos.
“To say it was a colorful event would be an understatement. With satisfying memories to last a lifetime, from the glitz and glamour on the black carpet, to good music, dance, good food, and wine.” – Apitainment Brand.

However, almost all that growth came from immigration — not births.</p><p>In fact, Quebec's fertility rate hit a historic low last year, falling to 1.33 children per woman. That's the lowest the province has ever recorded, even lower than the previous record of 1.36 back in 1987. Only 77,400 babies were born in 2024. Meanwhile, an estimated 78,800 people died in 2024, meaning deaths officially outnumbered births.</p><p>So where did the growth come from? Migration. Quebec welcomed over 158,000 newcomers, including 103,700 non-permanent residents. That number consists mostly of temporary foreign workers, asylum seekers, and international students.</p><p>As of the start of 2025, there are 617,000 non-permanent residents living in Quebec. Temporary foreign workers make up the biggest group, but the province also has the highest number of asylum seekers in the country, accounting for about 40% of Canada's total.</p><p>Quebec also saw fewer people moving to other provinces in 2024. The difference between those who left and those who moved in was just 1,900 people, one of the smallest gaps in years.</p><span></span><p>One number that went unchanged in Quebec was average life expectancy, which now sits at 82.7 years. </p><p>So even with fewer babies being born and deaths on the rise, Quebec's population is still growing (for now), thanks mostly to immigration.</p><p>You can check out the full demographic report at <a href="https://www.statistique.quebec.ca" target="_blank">statistique.quebec.ca</a>.</p><p><em>Love this?
