In a country known as the corruption and poverty capital of the world it is hard to find role models for the youths. The G-boys and fantastically and unapologetically corrupt politicians are worshipped for their wealth and power that makes them above the laws of the land. There are many Nigerian who have unflinching integrity and have cemented their names in the history books. Nigeria would have been one of the economic powerhouses in the world, if from independence in 1960, we had this kind of outstanding Nigerians to take over the mantle of leadership. Dora Akunliyi As director general of Nigeria's National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Dora Nkem Akunyili has amassed a record as one of the most committed and successful government administrators on the African continent. Under her leadership, counterfeit drug sales in Nigeria have dropped by an estimated 80 percent. Akunyili's story is more than one of efficiency, however—it is a profile in courage, for she has survived attempts on her life, by arson and by gunfire, from Nigerian counterfeit drug traffickers. She had, in the words of New Scientist magazine, "the most dangerous job in Nigeria." But she remained undaunted in the face of threats Basil Omiyi Graduated with a B.Sc. in Chemistry and obtained a post-graduate diploma in Petroleum Technology, both from the University of Ibadan. Basil Omiyi became the first Nigeria to serve as the Managing Director and subsequently Country Chairman of Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited.

Some of its programmes are broadcast live on Linda Ikeji TV.[9] Ikeji also opened a music platform known as LindaIkejiMusic which was launched on 21 November 2016, but it became dormant three months after the Launch.[12] She launched a social networking platform named Linda Ikeji Social on the domain name . Ikeji runs a non-profit project themed "I'd rather be self-made; No thanks". In her interview with HipTV, she revealed that through the project, she assists young girls aged 16–25 who have great business ideas and are willing to venture into entrepreneurship.
