Prince Eniola Adeyemi, popularly known as “Wake-Up,” has once again made a significant impact in his community by hosting the 4th edition of the Wake Up Children’s Party in Ikorodu. The two-day event, which took place on 5 and 6th of January, 2025, was attended by over 1,000 children, who were treated to a fun-filled experience, complete with free clothing and gifts.

Residents and guests were treated to a thrilling surprise when the Afrobeat superstar, Patoranking, made an unexpected visit to their neighbourhood. The singer’s presence sent the crowd into a frenzy, with fans of all ages excitedly gathering to catch a glimpse of the music sensation.

Prince Eniola Adeyemi expressed his delight in celebrating the joy of giving and sharing with children and widows. He noted that it is a privilege to put smiles on their faces and make a difference in their lives.

This tradition is guided by a simple yet profound agenda: “No family should be hungry during the festive season.” This initiative not only brings happiness to the beneficiaries but also fosters a sense of community and social responsibility.

The event also featured the distribution of bags of rice and chicken to widows and their families, a gesture that was deeply appreciated by the beneficiaries. The party was attended by several prominent personalities, including Alhaji Seifudeen Oloworibi, the Chief Imam of Ikorodu Central Mosque; Chief Abolaji Omoshola-Allison, the Alapinni of Ikorodu; and Dr. Efosa Iyamu, Special Adviser to Senator Adams Oshiomhole.
