Firstnigerian is a website dedicated to showcase those individuals who against all odds strive to make a difference by being the first among the most populous black African nation in the world to achieve what in some cases are personal, national as well as international feats.
These individuals are the essence of the Nigerian pride. They make history, and in some cases break down barriers to make way for the next generation of outstanding Nigerians.
Firstnigerian also provides a forum for discussion and contribution by those who wish to add to the list of these Nigerian gems.
A spotlight profile is regularly updated to celebrate a 'First Nigerian' accomplishment while the 'Black-Sheep spotlight' is an editorial on a 'First Nigerian' to muddle the Nigerian pride through an act that shames the nation.
This is a celebration of Nigeria. This is a celebration of the the Nigerian.
The Objective of the firstnigerian is to identify any Nigerian who makes its nation proud. Nigerians are unfortunately known for disreputable things, however, the firstnigerian aims to highlight those Nigerians that are making a positive difference, not only to their community, but to the world in general.
It is hoped that by identifying these individuals, some of whom have been forgotten in the doldrums of history, their achievements can be celebrated and hopefully give hope to aspiring Nigerians, that no obstacle is insurmountable and each and everyone has it in them to make a positive difference and contribution to their community and the world at large.
