In this first quarter of 2021, six Nigerians have received global recognition for their professional achievements: Faith Odunsi, Davido, Burna Boy, Wizkid, Kelechi Iheanacho and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. Their ages range from 15 to 66 years old. What makes it even more remarkable is that these six individuals all spent their formative years in Nigeria. They all grew up here; they ate rice and stew, ate eba and sweated in the Nigerian heat. They don’t have two heads. Some of them came from poverty, some from the middle-class and some from wealth. I want to examine each of their Q1 2021 achievements and mention what it means to Nigerians.
