You are Welcome!!
This is the homepage of the Nigerian Humanist Students Society, the umbrella body for the organised student humanism in Nigeria and recognised as such by Nigerian Humanist Movement. Nigerian humanist students became formally organized on June 21st 2002. This is in fact the turning point in the history of humanism in Africa. The idea of a body of such was muted on the 10th of October 2001 (the last day of the first African Humanist Conference held between 8th-10th, October 2001 at the conference Center of University of Ibadan) by a participant. Gradually, this noble idea snowballed into something worthwhile.Since inception, Nigerian Humanist Student Society NHSS, via Nigerian Humanist Movement NHM assistance has been trying to do it right on Nigerian Campuses. Humanism awareness is growing among Nigerians. |

NHSS STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES
NHSS AFIRMS:
*The DIGNITY of each human being;as end not as a means to an end.
*That we attempt to transcend divisive parochial loyalties based on race,religion, gender,nationality, creed, class, and ethnicity.And strive to work together for the common good of humanity.
*The belief in an open and pluralistic society like our dear country,Nigeria and that Democracy is the best form of government to free the commoners from the domineering forces of the authoritarian elites.
*The belief in enjoying life to the fullest Here and Now and in developing our creative talent to the fullest.
*That we belief strongly in the cultivation of moral excellence.
*Dialogue and Negotiations as the best means of resolving differences in opinion.
*That we so much believe in supporting the Disadvantaged and the Handicapped in society so that they will be able to assist themselves.
*That we declare our unalloyed commitment to Education as a means for the FULL DEVELOPMENT of the HUMAN PERSONALITY.
Finally as humanists, atheists, agnostics and freethinkers, we derive the goals of life from human need and interest rather than from theological or ideological abstractions, and asserts that humanity must take responsilbility for its own Destiny.
