The Royal Divas Foundation celebrated its third anniversary on December 5th, 2021, with a grand event. Initially, the foundation was formed by a few friends to support one another and gradually became a social group in February 2018. It was officially registered in October 2018 and has been making a positive impact on society ever since, thanks to the support of well-meaning individuals. The third-anniversary celebration was a time for the group to celebrate life, friendship, charity and induct new members into the organization.
The festive occasion was full of excitement, laughter, dance performances, refreshments, and a significant turnout. The Royal Divas made a remarkable impression and demonstrated that they are models of excellence.
In line with Rick Goings’ observation that “Some things just cannot wait. Men must stand up now for women’s equality,” many distinguished men showed up at the event to demonstrate their support for the Royal Divas through their donations and sponsorships.
Mrs. Chinyere Okpalagu, the congenial President of the foundation, gave a speech during the event, where she thanked all the guests who attended on behalf of the group. She reserved special recognition for the group’s patrons, Chief Kingsley Okey Nwachukwu and Chief Ernest Uzuagu.
