HISTORY OF THE NIGERIAN YOUTH MOVEMENT (NYM)



The Nigerian Youth Movement (NYM) was Nigeria's first genuine nationalist organization, founded in Lagos in 1933 with Professor Eyo Ita as the founding father and many others including Samuel Akisanya.Ernest Ikoli, the first editor of the Daily Times of Nigeria, which was launched in June 1926, was another founding member. 

Immediate concerns of the Nigerian Youths Movement included the supposedly inferior status of Yaba College, appointments of Africans to senior positions in the civil service and discrimination against African truck drivers.
However, the Lagos-based organization at first had generally moderate views and pledged to support and cooperate with the governor.
The president was Dr Kofo Abayomi. Ernest Ikoli was vice president and H.O. Davies was the secretary.
