60 Nigerians In 60 Years Making Nigerian Lives Matter

60 Nigerians In 60 Years Making Nigerian Lives Matter. Magazine Description:

SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE PUBLISHER:

As a Nigerian, I am so proud to present this special edition of Guardian Life Magazine, specially created to celebrate Nigeria at 60 years of Independence. With all that's going on the world, it is easy to forget some of the more positive stories. We are also less connected in person and not present at the events that would usually be taking place at this time, so I welcome you to connect with some Nigerians of impact by reading about them here. You will be familiar with some, others less so. In 2010, I produced a similar publication - Nigeria @50 - which was a joint venture between Time Out Nigeria and The Financial Times. That publication featured the country's leading business leaders, compared to this decade's edition, where we have searched wider, and selected Nigerians who, in addition to racking up lists of personal accolades have made a social impact on others - both home and abroad. Those who have inspired other Nigerians by excelling in their chosen fields, by breaking records, or by acting as change-makers in the following areas: The Arts & Creativity; Entrepreneurship; Finance; Healthcare & Medicine; Law & Politics; The Media; Power & Energy; Social Impact; Technology; and Innovations & Inventions. Age knows no barrier either, as the range covered is between ages 12 and 101. We also have a chapter dedicated to honour eight special people posthumously: Guardian Angels who will forever inspire us. If physical events are impossible, then at least we can “celebrate” Nigeria@60 in print and digitally. Furthermore, “Black Lives Matter”, and to honour this ongoing movement, it is our duty to communicate that “Nigerian Lives Matter”. Nigeria, we must set an example to our Black and African brothers and sisters worldwide, so let us bring out more of the positives. Onto greener pastures Nigeria!
