To connect, network, preserve and promote Nigerian Cultures, Heritage, our pride and identity. Celebrating the diversity that makes Nigeria shine to the world. Sharing our stories, tradition, resilience and endless possibilities.
Women of Vision ( WofV ) and Nigerian Descent Network Organization ( NDNWO ) were founded by Grace Obuseh in 2021, after she shared her dream and vision with some women of Nigerian descent who are pioneers of the group.
Her dream and vision are to form a networking organization for young Nigerians in Diaspora. An organization that gives them the opportunity to network, connect, meet, engage, learn as well as promote Nigerian languages, cultures, traditions and heritage.
The Cofounders, Catherine Cadmus, Chiege Kalu Okwara and Lisa Sido went the extra mile in all ways to see that the Vision is realized. As of today, we are 101 women/families strong and counting working together to achieve the Vision.
This organization will not be successful as it is without the contribution of the following women.
Folashade Jose, Patricia Adelekun, Loretta Evivie, Patricia Chukwueke, Ifunanya Okocha, Virginia Okonkwo, Folashade Bada, Anne Ighade, Chinyere Agor, Bumi Ifabiyi, Ngozi Oriaku, Iyore James, Victoria Obichere, Barbara Aligwekwe, Sarah Onwu, Anne Onafowokan, Cherish Nosike to mention a few.
The following young men and women were among the early contributors and continue to support the organization in various ways:
Seyi Cadmus, Amma Okwara, Ovie Sido, Ngozi Obuseh, Jite Sido, Amaka Okonkwo, Jason Osemeka, Ijay Akhimien, Deji Cadmus, Charlie Obuseh, Rachael Sanyaolu, Ebube Nduka, Obiajulu Oriaku.

Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa with over 200 million people. The official language of Nigeria is English, but there are over 500 indigenous languages spoken in the country. The cultures are remarkably rich and deep, characterized by its diversity and complexity across over 250 ethnic groups.
Unfortunately, some of the cultures, traditions and heritage are endangered, we are making concerted efforts to keep them alive.
