Yo, Ndị Anambra GenZ, whether you are out there hustling away from your homeland, scrolling through online trends in Lagos or Abuja on holiday, or just vibing in the heart of Awka, Onitsha, or Nnewi, the call is real and loud. Ọnwa Dezemba is dropping like the hottest mixtape, and it is launching with a total takeover designed just for you: the City Block party on December 18 at 6pm sharp, right at Awka City Stadium by Solution Fun City!
This is beyond your average chill session. It is a full-on explosion of fun, with music blasting from every corner, killer performances that hit differently, dance battles that will have you gyrating like never before, and entertainment that has got that next-level energy to keep the whole night popping. Think amapiano grooves mixing with afrobeats bangers, highlife remixes that nod to your roots, and hip-hop flows that keep it fresh, all under flashing lights and a crowd that’s pure squad goals.
Yes, this is all courtesy of your youth-friendly Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, handing over the keys to your own slice of Detty December, while making Anambra a secure, safe, and straight-up unmissable fun hangout this season. No stress, security is on lock so you can flex without a worry, turning up with your crew in the freshest outfits, phones ready to capture those viral reels and stories that are share-worthy.
It is about owning the moment, connecting with that unbreakable GenZ spirit, and kicking off the festive season in a way that screams you are the future of Ndị Anambra. Slide through, make memories, and let us turn this into the event that everyone talks about. After all, why settle for scrolling when you can be in the thick of the action?
But this Onwa Dezemba is more than the hype. City Block is your chance to blend that global festive swag with homegrown flavour, reminding you why Anambra has always been the plug for innovation and culture. The Solution Fun City vibe will raise it all up, turning the stadium into a playground where creativity flows free. Whether you are into snapping aesthetic pics, joining impromptu digs, or just soaking in the collective energy, this is where the real connections happen: offline, unfiltered, and unforgettable.
As the sun will begin to set and the night takes over on D-day, expect surprises that will keep the adrenaline pumping: maybe guest DJs dropping exclusive sets, pop-up challenges with prizes that hit, or even collabs with local talents who have been grinding on the low. It is all part of building that community buzz, where every laugh, every dance move, every shared glance strengthens the ties that make us Ndị Anambra strong.
And with the rest of Ọnwa Dezemba lined up after this, from carols to masquerades and comedy nights, starting with GenZ means you are locked in for the full ride. So, charge up, rally the squad, and get ready to make history. Yo, this is your time to shine and be fine. Remember, Ọnwa Dezemba will be loud. Show up on December 18 and let’s turn Awka into the epicentre of festive fire!
