Indomie, Nigeria’s leading instant noodle brand, has praised the impact of its child-focused Indomie Fan Club (IFC), which recently celebrated 20 years of engaging and nurturing Nigerian children. The celebration was held at the National Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos, with a colourful and fun-filled event themed “A Journey of Love: Friendship Through the Years Built on Love.”
The event showcased hundreds of children wearing bright blue, orange, and yellow T-shirts, representing the popular Indomitable superhero characters that have become a key part of the club’s identity. The day was packed with activities, music, and performances by the mascot characters Big Boy, Stretchy, Swifty, Tweeny, and Vision, who danced and played with the children.
Coordinator of the Indomie Fan Club, Faith Joshua, unveiled the official anniversary logo and launched the club’s new theme song. Speaking at the event, Joshua described the milestone as monumental. “The 20th anniversary is a big moment for us,” she said. “The new theme song is our anthem. It represents the values of love, friendship, and togetherness that define this club. With more than 150,000 members across the country, we are just getting started.”
General Manager of Corporate Communications and Events at Dufil Prima Foods, Temitope Ashiwaju, highlighted the club’s consistent growth and influence over the years. “This is not an ordinary achievement. It’s the result of 20 years of dedication, love, and trust from children, parents, and educators,” he said.
One of the guests, veteran teacher and parent Oji Joy, praised the club’s inclusive culture. “As both a teacher and a parent, being part of the Indomie Fan Club family has been amazing. When the club honoured teachers last year with the title of ‘Educator’, it made us feel recognised and respected,” she said.
Joy also noted the club’s annual graduation celebration as a tradition that keeps the children excited and looking forward to learning. “No other platform celebrates children like this,” she added.
Emerald Adejuwon, a 12-year-old and winner of the fourth edition of Team Yourself Up, expressed her excitement at being recognised. “Thank you, Indomie Fan Club, for giving us a chance to play, grow, and be celebrated,” she said.
The children wrapped up the event by imprinting colourful handprints on a commemorative ‘fun palm wall’, symbolising the unity and vibrancy of the Indomie Fan Club.
Established in 2005 by Dufil Prima Foods, the Indomie Fan Club targets children between the ages of four and twelve. It offers a wide range of activities, including educational trips, cultural lessons, storytelling, music, art, and factory tours. The goal is to develop confident, intelligent, and creative Nigerian children in a fun and safe environment.
Indomie says the club’s long-term mission is to help raise well-rounded children by encouraging values such as friendship, creativity, and self-confidence. As the platform enters its third decade, stakeholders believe the journey of love is far from over.
