Overview
MyGreen GENE
Is a project that celebrates the Nigerian heritage and achievements by showcasing the stories, talents, and contributions of Nigerians across the world. The project aims to inspire pride and unity among Nigerians, as well as to challenge the negative stereotypes and perceptions that often surround Nigeria and its people.
GENE
A metaphor for the Nigerian identity, culture, and excellence that is passed down from generation to generation. Just as genes are the carriers of genetic information that determine the traits and characteristics of an individual, the Nigerian gene is the essence of what makes a Nigerian unique, resilient, and brilliant. The project uses the colour green to represent the Nigerian gene, as it is the dominant colour of the Nigerian flag and symbolizes the natural beauty and diversity of the country.
Adewumi Adisa
Is the founder and visionary of the MyGreen GENE project, who started it in 2015 with a mission to protect and promote Nigeria’s true essence. Adewumi is a passionate young Nigerian who believes in the potential and greatness of his country and its people. He initiated the project to document and share the stories of Nigerians who have made remarkable impacts in various fields and sectors, both locally and globally.
