First Japanese Karaoke Competition in Nigeria 2023 at UNIABUJA

Do you know what 'karaoke' is? It is not well known, but karaoke was actually invented by the Japanese. And even today, karaoke is enjoyed on a daily basis by men and women of all ages in Japan.

That's why on 2 and 3 November, during the Japan Culture Day with Japanese guests from Japan, we would like to organize, for the first time in Nigeria, a 'Japanese Language Karaoke Competition'.

There will be small prizes for the first three places, so please come and join us. The conditions and application procedure are as follows.
