Adeolu Khafre is a Lagos-based brand known for its focus on indigenous games, apparel, and martial arts inspired products.[1] Recognized for its Ankara Ayo Mancala, a contemporary version of the traditional Ayo game, the brand emphasizes African heritage through modern design, establishing a presence in cultural craftsmanship.[2]
History
Founded in 2021 through a collaboration between The Avenue Creative Limited and modern polymath Ade Olufeko, the brand reflects a commitment to heritage and innovation. Its name is inspired by Olufeko's explorations of ancient monuments, particularly the Giza complex in Egypt, where he discovered creative potential in the enduring architecture. In 2023, the brand secured its trademark from the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment.[3]
Alignment with SDGs
Adeolu Khafre, an ongoing lifestyle project, aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals SDG 9, SDG 11 and SDG 12.[4]
In a noteworthy contribution to the Nigerian economy, extensively documented by various sources, which frequently relies on imports of foreign items, Adeolu Khafre's brand actively championed its 100% made-in-Nigeria mancala. This commitment to local production is substantiated by verifiable records, underscoring the brand's dedication to indigenous craftsmanship. Moreover, this initiative has been acknowledged for its measurable impact on fostering economic growth within the city of Lagos.[5]
