NICKFEST
made its debut in Nigeria over the weekend courtesy of Nickelodeon, popular
family entertainment TV network owned by Viacom International Media Networks
Africa (VIMN Africa) in partnership with Maltina.
The
two-day fun-filled festival which is by far Nigeria’s largest family-centric
festival was all shades of fun as kids splashed around in thousands of litres
of gloriously gooey slime at the legendary Slime Zone. The venue was
transformed into a massive kiddies’ wonderland with amazing toys, fun games and
activities, and plenty color, notably the Nickelodeon and Maltina traditional
bright orange which helped achieved a vibrantly playful ambience.
The
organizers were also able to bring in popular celebrities like Yemi Alade, Mr.
P (Paul of P-Square), Simi, Chioma Akpotha, Ill Blizz, Mr. Eazi, Samantha Walsh
and Ehiz who got slimed several times over to raise awareness and funds for The
North East Children’s Trust. Parents and guardians also had a wonderful time
channeling their inner child as they joined the slime dunk at the Slime Zone.
The music stars entertained the attendees with their family-friendly songs
setting the whole venue into a fun-filled sing-along stage.
The
festival also featured the popular Nickelodeon show characters, Shimmer &
Shine, SpongeBob SquarePants, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles- Leo, Donnie,
Raph and Mikey & Paw Patrol’s- Ryder, Chase, Marshall, Rubble and Sky-, who
dazzled both kids and parents with amazing performances.
Alex
Okosi, Executive Vice President and Managing Director VIMN Africa, said:
