POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Another @nzapiapparel feather

Yesterday, during the opening ceremony for the 2026 @things_fall_apart_festival Things Fall Apart Festival holding at the @centreformemories in Enugu, NZAPI launched its first ever AFFILIATE STORE.

And the Deputy Governor of Enugu State, H.E. Barr Ifeanyi Osaai oversaw the opening of the store; which has been developed in collaboration with the Centre For Memories.

A proud and surreal moment.

More details coming in a bit..

Supreme thanks to ABBA, my Heavenly Father, for inspiring and providing in every way for this. Daalu, Chukwu m!🙌🏽🙇🏽

Thanks to the entire board of the CFM, led by Mr. Patrick O. Okigbo III EKENWEOFIA, you’re a leader of men! Thank you for all you do, Onye Isi. There aren’t many men who support the way you do.🙏🏽

Also, I reserve special thanks for the Executive Director of the Centre, Maazi Iheanyichukwu Stephen Igboko @coolfinesse - for his unflinching support and belief. We probably wouldn’t have pushed through with this without your endorsement. Daalu, Dike!🫡🙌🏽

To Chukwuedo Chioma Alex the one who supervised the design and construction process- thank you for being a solid pillar of support, faith and kindness. May you know great outcomes in your life, Amen.

Ladies and Gentlemen, NZAPI just elevated more. As always, we are only just getting started.

🙏🏽🙌🏽😊

I just saw this. It was about last season before we won the cup.

Listen. Do you like it???

One last thing. Please pray for my mind.

From Aba to Tulsa to Abuja, the conversation continues.

On Saturday in Abuja, we gathered for the final pre-festival event of the 2026 Things Fall Apart Festival, under the theme Nke Anyị Amaka.

It is a simple truth that is easy to forget. Our names, our languages, our stories, and our ways of seeing the world carry a beauty that needs no outside approval.

In Abuja, we asked the questions Chinua Achebe’s world still asks of us: Who names us? Who tells our stories? And what do we choose to remember?

Thanks to Nzapi Apparels and The Preview Experience for helping bring this evening to life, and to everyone who came, listened, and spoke honestly.

Now, the journey comes home to Enugu.

Join us at the Things Fall Apart Festival 2026, 18 to 24 October, at the Centre for Memories.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Happy Independence Day Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

Here are some of our fave things we love about being Nigerian. Thou shalt think of that which is good...

One time for the culture; being Asaba women, one time for @asah_bara and everything #madeinnigeria, one time for the greats like Onyeka Onwenu and Chief Osadebe vinyl records, one time for the Hausa musicians that serenade you at Millinenium Park iykyk, one time for Abacha and Palmwine.... God bless us! 🥹💚🤍💚

Please continue to pray for our motherland. May we see better days and may we be the change we want to see.

We had the honour of receiving the Director of @centreformemories Mazi Iheanyi Igboko @coolfinesse. Giving his goodwill message, he resounded his support to Studio Omeni. We can't wait for the collaboration that lies with TLC, Studio Omeni and Centre for Memories.

Swipe! 💫

Mr. Iheanyi Igboko @coolfinesse , happy birthday! 🤍

For years, you’ve been feeding the world’s community through @centreformemories — one wholesome step at a time, and holding artists and creatives close to your heart.

What you’ve built isn’t just a centre. It’s family. A home for stories, culture, history and care.

May your strength keep multiplying, and may joy keep finding you.

Had to make sure I celebrate you through ☎️ @goodys_surprisecall today too ✨

Today, I celebrate my brother in all seasons — the kind of brotherhood that time cannot weaken, distance cannot diminish, and life can never replace.

Iheanyi, Nwannem, you are an embodiment of greatness, character, competence, kindness, empathy, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment. You carry a rare combination of strength and tenderness — a builder who doesn't just create things, but builds people, relationships, dreams, and family.

Thank you for always showing up — for me, for our family, and for everyone fortunate enough to be connected to us through you. Thank you for your generosity of heart, your loyalty, your counsel, your care, and for being that dependable brother who stands firm whether the season is good or difficult.

Some people are brothers by blood; you are a brother by blood, by choice, by sacrifice, and by every definition that truly matters.

I am grateful for you, proud of the man you are, and even more excited about the man you are becoming.

May life continually reward your heart, enlarge your influence, strengthen your hands, and give you reasons to smile as deeply as you make others smile.

Happy birthday, my brother. My Nwannem. My guy. My brother in all seasons.

Greater heights, greater grace, greater impact. Always. ❤️

I wanted a quiet birthday. 😄
But apparently, my friends and loved ones had other plans!

The messages, calls, prayers and beautiful wishes have filled my heart and reminded me just how blessed I am to have people who remember me, celebrate me, and insist that I pause, laugh, reminisce and look back at the goodness of God in my life.

Adding another year is no small blessing. It is another 365 days of grace, lessons, growth, memories, opportunities and the privilege of simply being here. And for that, I am deeply grateful. ❤️

So, here’s to another 365-day cycle — may it be filled with purpose, joy, beautiful surprises, meaningful impact and even more reasons to thank God. 🥂✨

And yes… I’m grateful for every single message. ❤️
