Naija Diamonds

At Inspire Africa, we are towing a different line by putting the spotlight on the true Nigerian celebrants – everyday people who have done something to change and challenge positively, their situations; men and women who in their little circles continue to be a source of inspiration, and by doing so have contributed to the growth of Nigeria. These people are our Naija Diamonds.

Selected from hundreds of Nigerians across the country, Naija Diamonds will feature thirty six amazing people to be representative of the true Nigerian spirit.
Naija Diamonds will put the spotlight on the “Diamonds” stories, struggles, and can-do spirit over a six week period.

SELECTION CRITERIA

Undiscovered Nigerians who by their own tenacity and determination have accomplished something, overcome something or been a catalyst for something that makes them worthy of celebration.

* No age limits

* No gender boundaries
