Generational Voices, also referred to as GenVoices, is a growing non partisan pan-Nigerian movement of persons aged 18 to 40. It was conceived as a means to convert online engagement into practical and sustainable change.

A key lesson from Occupy Nigeria was that social media chatter and street protests were not sustainable solutions to Nigeria’s problems. It became clear that without political participation and active engagement in government, our generation will continue to be denied the chance to make widespread and definitive impact.


GenVoices is working to birth political, economic, social and technological solutions to national challenges by encouraging more members of our generation to participate in politics and make a difference in government and governance.

Through our Under 40 Dialogues initiative, GenVoices creates opportunities across Nigeria and the Diaspora for individuals to come together to share their desires, dreams, concerns and solutions for Nigeria.

100KVoices, our flagship project for 2014 is a landmark event which aims to demonstrate the strength of the numbers in our generation. On January 18, 2014, at least 100,000 young people will convene at Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos from across Nigeria to discuss our future and proffer solutions.
