DEAF NIGERIANS (UK)
CELEBRATING HERITAGE, EMPOWERING FUTURES, AND BUILDING CONNECTIONS

About Us
Deaf Nigerians in the UK (DNUK) was established in February 2015 to unite Deaf people of Nigerian origin living in the UK—particularly those based in London and the South East. Our mission is to build a strong, inclusive, and supportive community where members can socialise, network, and celebrate Nigerian heritage, especially through our annual Nigerian Independence Day celebrations.
We believe that heritage and identity are essential—not only to preserve our history but to inspire and empower future generations. DNUK is dedicated to showcasing the achievements of Deaf Nigerians in the UK, promoting cultural traditions, and fostering unity among Deaf and hearing individuals in both the UK and Nigeria.
We are equally committed to supporting initiatives in Nigeria that aim to improve the quality of life for Deaf individuals, building meaningful connections across continents.
Our Vision and Mission
DNUK was founded with the vision of preserving and celebrating the cultural heritage of Deaf Nigerians living in the UK. Our journey began with the Nigerian Independence Day celebration, and over time has expanded to include lectures, workshops, networking events, and community engagement programmes.
Our ongoing mission is to:
Deaf Nigerian Achievements in the Diaspora
here is a growing and vibrant Deaf Nigerian diaspora, particularly in the UK, USA, and Europe, with individuals excelling in a wide range of fields. DNUK is proud to celebrate these success stories and promote positive encouragement for current and future generations of Deaf people of Nigerian heritage.

Facts About Nigeria
Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country, often referred to as the “Giant of Africa” due to its large population and economic influence. As of 2024, the population is approximately 225 million, projected to grow to 380 million by 2050. Located in West Africa, Nigeria features a diverse geography—from coastal plains to the Sahel—and a rich cultural tapestry that blends traditional and modern influences.
Nigeria National Anthem
Nigeria we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribe and tongue may differ,
In brotherhood, we stand,
Nigerians all, and proud to serve our sovereign Motherland.
Our flag shall be a symbol
That truth and justice reign,
In peace or battle honoured,
And this we count as gain,
To hand on to our children
A banner without stain.
O God of all creation,
Grant this our one request,
Help us to build a nation
Where no man is oppressed
And so with peace and plenty
Nigeria may be blessed.
