About us

With over 200 million people, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and among the top 10 most populous in the world. Having an estimated 40% alone of its population being under the age of 15 years, it goes without saying that the country possesses a huge population of young people, many of whom are engaged in one aspect or another of physical culture. Unfortunately, the majority of these young people are plagued by limitations in access to proper training facilities and nutrition, an insufficient understanding of the unique distinctness of the fitness & bodybuilding industry as well as the lack of a sustainable organized framework for the development & promotion of talent. Though this narrative has slowly started to change for the better over the last decade, it is clear that a lot more needs to and can be done to exploit the huge potential that Nigeria has to become a pre-eminent force in the sport for years to come. The Naija Bodybuilding Directory is an attempt at indirectly addressing some of these challenges, serving as a database of athletes (grassroots, amateur & pro) as well as facilities/arenas around the country, with a view to promoting them for exposure and support. We therefore seek prospective partners and sponsors for as many of the athletes and gyms featured on this platform as possible. Many Nigerian bodybuilders are hugely passionate and talented but lack the means to exploit their inherent potential. Sponsorship will therefore be greatly anticipated, welcomed and appreciated! Should you wish to and find yourself in a position to sponsor/support an athlete(s) or a gym you have seen on this website, please do not hesitate to reach out to us today!
