The spirit of Nigeria was alive and vibrant on October 1st, 2023, as the Nigerian Canadian community came together to celebrate the 63rd Independence Day of their beloved homeland. This year's celebration was nothing short of spectacular, featuring a grand flag-raising ceremony at Toronto City Hall-West, located at 100 Queen Street West. The event was a testament to the enduring bonds between Nigeria and its diaspora in Canada.

A Symbolic Start

The day began with speeches from the leadership of the Nigeria Canadians Association, multi talented Nigerian born kid star, Iyanuoluwa Adeshina led the opening with her instrumental rendition of the National anthems, the ceremonial hoisting of the Nigerian flag in front of Toronto City Hall by the NCA executives. The flag adorned with its green and white stripes, gently ascended, a symbol of Nigeria's unity and resilience. It was a proud moment for Nigerians and Nigerian Canadians alike, as they stood together, celebrating their heritage and the progress their nation has made over the past 63 years.

Press Release

Power of Inclusion: What is the Fuss About!

 

Council of Nigerian Professionals Inc. (CNP)

Presents: The Maiden Edition of Power of Inclusion: What is the fuss about!

A Three (3) day event, starting on Thursday - Saturday, December 2nd-4th, 2021

 

‘Inclusion is not a matter of political correctness. It is the key to growth.”- Jesse Jackson

 

There has been a lot of discussion around inclusion, yet here we are.

After the August 28,1963 speech of Martin Luther King Jr. during the match in Washington for jobs and freedom… I have a dream...who would have thought that we’ll still be here?

 

It took double tragic incidents in 2020 to bring the need for inclusivity to the forefront again. Covid-19 gave the world a reset button, and the death of George Floyd on May 25th, 2020, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, may his soul Rest in Peace, brought inclusion back to the forefront.

 

This is a discussion that affects the world and humanity. It is a call for you, for me, for everyone, that knows that Systemic Anti-Black Racism, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, homophobia and more destroys; and wants to see a new dawn of change.

 

Outstanding and Distinguished Keynote Speaker panelists will be available to share their view on each day
