Wadokya is a multi-cultural
organization that engages in the service of promoting/projecting the rich
cultural heritage of the Africa people, (Nigeria).
The organization has positioned to
discover, develop historical sites in the country, through organising, promoting
cultural tourism, concept development, TV
documentaries, music and movie productions.
The organization also engages in artiste
management, publication of magazines
Exhibition and cultural dance
troupe appearances, along with event management
and entertainment.
Wadokya simply means "peace,
pride and beauty" coined from the three main languages in Nigeria (Hausa,
Yoruba, Igbo). It is the foundation on which the initiative was birthed.
Why Wadokya? “The Nigerian/African Culture has
been relegated to the back seat. We are convinced, that now is the time to
revive and preserve our common heritage. Wadokya African Cultural Campaign is
an endless movement across the whole of Nigeria and Africa. It is a year in,
year out event to resuscitate and restore our rich cultural heritage, which is
our identity; through a line-up of cultural activities and events in and out of
the African continent. Wadokya seeks to celebrate being African by amplifying
and showcasing our rich cultural legacies worthy of note, emulation and of
course export.”
Wadokya also oganises African
Cultural festival, one out of many other events of Wadokya Global Concept Ltd,
projected as a three days cultural festival showcasing and celebrating our
diverse and assorted African food, dance, music, fashion, arts and craft, and
so on.
“The
festival is designed to be an annual event that will make its maiden edition in
Nigeria and spread across Africa overtime. The festival has an advisory council
which consists of notable Nigerians with a strong pedigree in promoting our
rich cultural heritage. The maiden festival edition is scheduled to take place;
Thursday November 24th to Saturday 26th 2016, in Lagos. At present, we have 13
dance troupes from the six (6) geopolitical zones consisting of over 15 dancers
each, we also have indigenous music/traditional music performances by African
music icons. Our African food/fashion exhibitions, showcases and reinstates
that it is a thing of beauty and honour to eat, dress and express our innate
African virtues. We strongly believe that our event will encourage the upcoming
generation to emulate, accept and project our uniqueness as Africans.”
It is pertinent to state that this
is the first of its kind “Nigerian
Individually”
organized cultural festival that seems to gather all ethnic groups on one
platform to celebrate our culture.
