Yuletide: Foundation To Mark Christmas With 100 Orphans, Vulnerable Children

Social entrepreneur and education advocate Zion Oshiobugie, through the Clever Minds Educational Foundation, is set to host a Royal Party 2025, a landmark Christmas celebration designed to restore dignity, confidence, and a sense of royal worth to 100 orphaned and vulnerable children from the most underserved rural communities in Warri.

The landmark party slated to hold on Thursday, 25 December 2025, at the Brownhill Event Center, Ogunu, Warri, will offer a carefully curated royal experience where selected children will be dressed in custom-made outfits, styled professionally, seated at a banquet, crowned in a ceremonial presentation, photographed, and celebrated in an atmosphere of excellence and belonging.
Speaking ahead of the event, Oshiobugie explained that The Royal Party was intentionally designed to move beyond conventional charity models.

“This is not about handouts or sympathy,” he said. “It is about restoring dignity. For one day, these children will not feel forgotten or marginalised they will feel honoured, celebrated, and seen as royalty.”

The Royal Party 2025 will also serve as the official launch of the Clever Minds Educational Scholarship Fund, an initiative aimed at supporting the long-term educational development of children from disadvantaged backgrounds beyond the Christmas celebration.

Attendance at the event is strictly by invitation, with a carefully selected group of 25 distinguished guests expected to be present. During the ceremony, Royal Patron of Dignity Awards will be presented to individuals who have demonstrated outstanding humanitarian leadership and commitment to the wellbeing and future of children.

The event’s theme, “A Christmas of Royal Worth — Where the Forgotten Feel Like Kings and Queens,” reflects its core philosophy: that every child, regardless of background, deserves to experience dignity, beauty, and belonging.

The Royal Party 2025 is supported by private sponsors, community partners, fashion contributors, and volunteers who share a commitment to excellence, social impact, and child development.
