Who is a real Nigerian?
Is a nigerian defined by geography, language, or background or by the values we carry wherever we go? This video asks a simple but powerful question, inviting us to reflect on identity beyond borders and stereotypes.
Nigeria is not just a place on the map; it is a feeling we carry wherever we go. A real Nigerian is seen in our resilience, creativity, and the way we represent our country with pride whether at home or across different parts of the world. From everyday interactions to global spaces, Nigerians continue to connect, inspire, and leave lasting impressions.
As you watch, may this video remind us that being Nigerian is not limited by location but strengthened by shared values and lived experiences.
Who do you think a real Nigerian is?
As part of its efforts to entrench Nigerian values and promote a true Nigerian identity, the federal government, through the National Orientation Agency has instituted a Nationalisation of Cartoon Content Policy. Under this policy, within the next three years, at least 70 per cent of cartoon content in the country must be Nigerian and promote Nigerian values.
To promote this policy, the NOA, led by Mallam Lanre-Issa Onilu, recently joined animators and cartoon content producers at the Lagos International Festival of Animation (LIFANIMA), to encourage Nigerian animators to tell stories that reflect the true Nigerian spirit and promote Nigerian values.
This week, the NOA is using its pidgin English platform CHLEEAN TALK-TALK to ensure that the message of value re-orientation through cartoon content reaches every corner of Nigeria.
Calling all Nigerian Animators! 🎬
The National Orientation Agency, in partnership with the Lagos International Festival of Animation, invites you to create your animated take on what makes a REAL NIGERIAN!
Entries must be a maximum of three (3) minutes in 2D, 3D, or Stop motion animation style, along with the creator’s profile, to win from the NOA ANIMATION AWARD featuring a 22.5 Million Naira Total Prize!
That’s ₦10 million for 1st place, ₦7.5 million for 2nd, and ₦ 5 million for 3rd! Plus, all winning entries will air on National Television for 3 months!
The NOA Animation Award 2026 is open exclusively to Nigerian animators, both individuals and studios. Participants are invited to create short animated films on the theme “Who Is a Real Nigerian?”, with each entry lasting no more than 3 minutes.
The award links the NOA’s effort to nationalise cartoon content with the Nigerian Values Charter (NVC – Citizen Codes) under the National Identity Project. It promotes the use of animation to express the seven national promises and seven citizen codes that define Nigerian values and collective responsibility.
Entries must be submitted via FilmFreeway (https://t.co/Aa2gEmruJu) following the standard LIFANIMA process, with the deadline set for June 2026.
This initiative reinforces the synergy between governance and creativity, empowering local talent to tell stories that reflect Nigeria’s identity, culture, and values.

Two new landmarks Tax Reform Acts of the Tinubu administration go into effect. Many Nigerians are apprehensive of what to expect. Since the new tax laws were first proposed, lies like “Nigerians will pay higher income taxes” and “funds in individual bank accounts will be automatically taxed by the federal government” have dominated the public space. Prompted by these falsehoods and misinformation about the new Tax Acts, many have been gripped by fear about what they will bode.
But what really is the truth about the new tax regime? This week, we are "Separating Facts from Fiction" to unpack the finer details of the Tax Acts, especially as they affect the average Nigerian, and believe me, the truth will ease off your fear.
We also present reports on other key policies of the Tinubu-led administration.
