In the wake of Afreximbank’s recent equity stake in his C.R.E.A.M Platform, global entertainer and tech innovator D’banj has unveiled a powerful new national movement aimed at spotlighting positivity across Nigeria.
The initiative, Nigerian Youth Positively Driven (NYPD), was officially launched at the UN@80 celebration in Abuja, where the Creative Alliance for Peace was also introduced.
NYPD is designed as a nationwide call to action, encouraging Nigerians to document uplifting stories, acts of kindness, innovation, and community impact happening around them. The goal is simple: amplify the good, reward impact, and inspire a culture of positivity.
Through the NYPD portal, both contributors and featured change-makers stand a chance to be rewarded. Individuals whose stories are spotlighted earn a ₦1,000,000 grant, while uploaders receive a ₦250,000 grant, with winners announced every week.
It is already being regarded as one of the most active and rewarding positive-impact platforms in the country.
Once winners emerge from the C.R.E.A.M Platform’s NYPD selection, their entries are sent to the Creative Alliance for Peace, where they receive further development, amplification, and long-term support.
A major focus of the alliance is championing renewable energy solutions and sustainability-driven projects that can transform communities nationwide.
D’banj says the initiative is a deliberate effort to shift national attention towards stories that reflect Nigeria’s true spirit and the potential of its people.
Speaking on the inspiration behind the movement, he shared:
“When you talk about the creative industry, we all know that today, content is the biggest export that we have as a nation. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough strong alliances or platforms where the youth can effectively access support.
“Africa is the biggest when it comes to creativity, and we have not even scratched 20%. I think it is so important to come together to have that voice. We’re moving, and the movement is called Nigerian Youths Positively Driven (NYPD). With it, we have created the alliance, and we now need the youths who are positively driven to jump on it.”
With NYPD now live and nationwide participation growing by the day, D’banj’s call is clear: Nigeria’s next big movement is rooted in positivity, collaboration, and the power of young people to shape the future.
