From the Voices of the Leaders
Omobosola Karimat Alaka, CEO & Co-Founder of Hafrikplay, shared:
“At Hafrikplay, we believe creativity thrives when culture and community meet. Partnering with Creative Bloc Carnival is more than sponsorship — it’s about building spaces where African artists, designers, gamers, and storytellers can shine together. We’re not just soundtracking the carnival; we’re amplifying the voices of a generation.”
JP Idama, Convener of Creative Bloc Carnival, added:
“Creative Bloc has always been about breaking boundaries and giving every creative discipline a stage. Teaming up with Hafrikplay takes this vision further — bridging media, music, and culture to ensure that the talent we showcase doesn’t just perform, but is seen, heard, and remembered long after the carnival.”
