The event, which made vibrant stops in Ibadan, Port Harcourt, Owerri, Abuja, and Lagos, attracted thousands of fun-seekers for unforgettable nights of music, dance, traditional games, and giveaways — reaffirming Orijin’s commitment to blending deep-rooted culture with contemporary experiences.

Each city showcased unique displays of Nigerian tradition — from drumming and cultural dancers to herb-infused Orijin cocktails and nostalgic games like Ayo, Ludo, and Draft. Local artistes, DJs, and MCs kept the crowd energised, creating an electric atmosphere of unity and joy.

A standout moment was the raffle draw segment, where loyal fans went home with prizes such as smart televisions, standing fans, and other home essentials.

In Owerri, first-time Orijin drinker Blessing was overwhelmed after winning a 50-inch TV, saying, “I never imagined I’d be going home with something this big. Thank you, Orijin, for making this night unforgettable.”

In Lagos, another winner, Olanrewaju Oladeji, who also received a smart TV, described his win as “a memorable part of the Orijinal experience.”

Speaking on the success of the tour, Dorcas Mashingil, Senior Brand Manager, Orijin, called the event “a cultural movement,” adding, “With every stop across Nigeria, we showed how Orijin connects people to their roots while giving them unforgettable modern experiences.”

Uchechukwu Onwudiwe, Head of Marketing, Mainstream Spirits and RTS, Guinness Nigeria, said the initiative celebrated authenticity and unity.

“Through Orijinal Nite, we created a platform that not only entertains but also reinforces pride in our heritage. The response from consumers has been incredible,” he said.

As the festive season draws near, Orijin revealed plans to extend the experience with new culturally rooted festivals and collaborations from October to December, promising even more vibrant celebrations that connect Nigerians to their heritage and community spirit.

Hundreds of tourists gathered at Egypt’s Abu Simbel temple to witness the twice-yearly sunrise ceremony illuminating Pharaoh Ramses II’s statue

Hundreds of tourists gathered at Egypt’s Abu Simbel temple on Thursday to witness a spectacular sunrise phenomenon in which sunlight illuminated the face of the statue of Pharaoh Ramses II, an event that occurs only twice a year.

The ancient astronomical ceremony drew visitors from different parts of the world to the archaeological site in southern Egypt on October 22, one of two dates associated with the phenomenon.

The second occurrence takes place on February 22, when the rising sun illuminates the temple’s interior.

Egyptian tour guide Yasser Fouad described the occasion as extraordinary, saying some visitors had stayed overnight to secure the opportunity to witness the event.

“Today is an extraordinary day, everyone is keen, there are people who stayed over the night, foreigners who actually spent the night in Abu Simbel to see this phenomenon,” Fouad said.

The Great Temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel dates back to the 13th century BC and is among Egypt’s most prominent archaeological attractions.

Built during the reign of Ramses II, one of ancient Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs, the temple is renowned for its monumental statues and sophisticated architectural design.

The twice-yearly sunrise phenomenon is a major attraction, drawing visitors eager to witness the interaction between sunlight and the temple’s ancient structure.

The dates have traditionally been associated with significant moments in Ramses II’s life.

October 22 is commonly linked to his birthday, while February 22 is associated with his accession to the throne.

However, the precise historical reasons behind the dates remain debated.

Some archaeologists have proposed alternative explanations, including that they may have marked the pharaoh’s coronation and birthday.

Abu Simbel underwent a major international rescue operation in the 1960s, when archaeologists and engineers relocated the temples to protect them from flooding caused by the construction of the Aswan High Dam.

The monumental structures were cut into large blocks and reassembled at a higher location, preserving the site for future generations.

The relocation was one of the most significant archaeological preservation projects of the 20th century.

Despite the move, the temple continues to attract visitors for its ancient Egyptian art, monumental architecture and remarkable alignment with the rising sun.
