Summary
Nigerians and Friends of Nigeria!
Join us for an enriching experience as we come together to celebrate the vibrant tapestry of Nigerian culture through food, music, and collaboration.
This year, as we commemorate Nigeria's Independence Day, we honor the everyday Nigerian—the unsung heroes whose strength and resilience keep the nation thriving. From the markets to the streets, in offices, and across cities and villages, it is the ordinary people who drive Nigeria forward.
As we reflect on both our achievements and challenges, we celebrate the spirit of hard work, innovation, and perseverance that defines the Nigerian people. Whether farmers, traders, teachers, or artisans, their efforts sustain us, reminding us that true power lies in the hands of the people. Today, we not only celebrate our independence but also the extraordinary contributions of ordinary Nigerians, who continue to build a future for all.
Dress Code: Come as yourself! Native attire is encouraged.
Come join us to celebrate our Independence!! Food and signature cocktails will be provided
