In the vibrant heart of Enugu, Ike-Okafor Chisimdi Cecil and her dynamic team are creating more than just moments—they’re building a youth-driven movement that promotes tourism, unity, and peace through their wildly popular nostalgia-themed event, Kidish.
Held on April 6th, the third edition of Kidish brought together over 10,000 young attendees from across Nigeria, including university students from various Eastern institutions. Dressed in childhood-inspired outfits—ranging from school uniforms to cartoon-themed costumes—participants relived the joy of simpler times in an atmosphere full of laughter, dance, and color.
The Kidish experience featured a variety of fun, interactive activities, including bouncy castles, water gun games, classic toys, and an unforgettable musical lineup. Some of Nigeria’s finest DJs and hype men—including Slymshady, Naki, DJ Slim V, BigSwagz, Big Ajibo, DJ Yougest, DJ Loopy, and many others—kept the energy high with electrifying sets.
What makes Kidish even more remarkable is that it has become the largest youth event in Enuguwithout featuring a major A-list artist—proof of the organic growth and community power behind the brand.
With plans already underway, the Kidish team is gearing up for a bigger fourth edition, projecting attendance between 20,000 to 50,000 youths, and further cementing its role as a major catalyst for youth engagement and tourism in Enugu.
Kidish is not just an event—it’s a movement. And this is only the beginning.
