What do you think of when you think of love? What puts a smile on your face? What motivates you to get up and conquer the day? For me, that’s people. By people, I mean you. Yes, you reading this article. You are what I think of when I hear the word love. You are what puts a smile on my face. You are the reason I try to conquer my day. Because you are my family. You are my brother. You are my sister. You are one with me. You are African.
So, fellow Africans, we wholeheartedly invite you to join us in celebrating the vibrant continent of Africa at the Festival of Nigeria (FON), taking place on the 14 October 2023 at Marks Park Sports Club in Emmarentia, Randburg, Johannesburg, South Africa. The Festival of Nigeria is the brainchild of a true African visionary – Stephanie Chiamaka Micheal, a daughter of the soil.

This groundbreaking event, presented by BON CHI, a pan-African creative firm and proudly endorsed by the High Commission of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and is sponsored by the international money transfer company Mama Money.
