World Calendar Day
Apr Fool's Day
The day of pranks is celebrated in Liberia with the same enthusiasm as everywhere else, and the pranks range from the harmless to the elaborate. The Liberian English phrase for the day is "April Fool day," and the tradition is to play tricks on friends and family before noon. The radio stations broadcast fake news, the newspapers publish fake stories, and the social media is a minefield of misinformation. The Liberian sense of humor is sharp, and the pranks are creative. The most common prank is telling someone their car has been towed or their phone is ringing when it is not.
