In a world first, husband and wife Shedrach and Ozioma have just concluded 30 consecutive days of banquets to celebrate the birth of their twins, Naku and Ziza. Running from March 31 to April 29, 2025, this unprecedented “30 Days of Thanksgiving” has transformed a personal miracle into the launch of a new cultural tradition—one rooted in gratitude, unity, and a vision of peace and prosperity for Africa.
“We didn’t give birth to ordinary children,” reflects Shedrach. “This is a new dawn for our family—and for the world. We’ve planted the roots of a culture of thanksgiving that will last through our generation.”
Each evening, friends, family and neighbors and associates gathered to share meals that honored Nigeria’s rich heritage alongside dishes inspired by global flavors. What began as an intimate expression of gratitude grew into a vibrant outpouring of community spirit, with loved ones traveling from near and far to bear witness to a living testament of hope fulfilled.
After ten years of prayerful waiting, the twins arrived on March 21, 2025—coinciding with Ozioma’s 39th birthday—capturing hearts across social media and faith communities. By extending their celebration across an entire month, Shedrach and Ozioma have redefined how new life is honored, proving that true thanksgiving knows no time limit.
The grand finale on April 29 featured a curated highlight reel of the month’s events, reflections from community champions, and a collective moment of thanksgiving as the sun set over Lagos—sealing a celebration that will be remembered for generations.
