Atheists, agnostics, religiously indifferent, secularists, rationalists, skeptics and others who identify as religious unbelievers gathered to commemorate the birth of their atheist society. They convened to mark the one-year anniversary of the Atheist Society of Nigeria (ASN). So it was the first time that an officially known atheist society in Nigeria was registered with the government. They eventually chose to have the party on April 1, which was curiously the April Fools Day. The organisers of the event are planning to make the anniversary celebration an annual event and a part of the celebration of the April Fools Day in Nigeria.
