Ndị Anambra, happy new year! Time has shifted. A new dawn breaks on us. Life has taken on a whole new glow. And the Onwa Dezemba fiesta is now overflowing!
As the calendar has flipped to 2026, the Christmas feasts have settled, Flavour’s epic homecoming still echoes in our heads, and the next Ọnwa Dezemba event is right here. Today, Saturday, January 3, the extravaganza delivers a perfect double-header to launch the new year right: a refreshing Walk for Life at 7am sharp at Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka, followed by the side-splitting LOL (Laugh Out Loud) Anambra comedy night at 5pm back at Solution Fun City.
Come out and start your morning the right way with the Walk for Life, a vibrant, government-powered, community-oriented fitness walk that is all about shaking off the holiday excess, breathing in that fresh new year air, and stepping into 2026 feeling strong, energised, and ready to conquer. Thousands of Ndị Anambra, including families, friends, the young and the young-at-heart, are expected to be moving together through the iconic square, chatting, laughing, and sweating out the old year while welcoming the new one with great hopes and aspiration.
It is not a race; it is a celebration of wellness, unity, and that vibrant Anambra spirit of starting fresh and staying healthy. Whether you are a fitness enthusiast, someone looking to get back on track, or just want to join the collective good energy with fun, this dawn walk on today, Saturday, is the ultimate reset button.
Then, as the sun sets, the mood flips to pure hilarity at LOL Anambra, the comedy show guaranteed to have you holding your sides and wiping tears of laughter. Top comedians from across the land will take the stage for a night of razor-sharp stand-up, relatable jokes, cultural jabs, and that classic Anambra wit we all love.
Expect belly laughs that will echo through Solution Fun City, moments where the whole crowd roars in agreement, and the kind of comedy that leaves you lighter, happier, and quoting lines for days. After the high-octane highs of December, the masquerades, the music, the football, this is the perfect comedown: healthy body in the morning, healed soul through laughter in the evening.
Our own refreshed, ever energetic Mr Governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, has maintained the top-tier security of the state into this January, so you can come as you are, tracksuit for the walk in the morning, casual vibes for the comedy in the evening, and just soak it all in. Bring your family, rally your friends, and make January 3 the day you set the tone for an amazing 2026.
Yes, Ọnwa Dezemba is not over yet. It is evolving, keeping us moving, laughing, and connected. Ndị Anambra, this is your moment to start the year strong and smiling wide on January 3, both at Alex Ekwueme Square and at Solution Fun City. You don’t want to miss the double-decker fun!
