In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.

[@AbujaYummyMummy]

[@pearlr.6907]

DSG of the United Nations, she’s very much respected and admired, when I saw her the first time at COP15 as minister of environment of Nigeria I could already sens that she was destined to be a world leader👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@iamZido]

I'll never get tired of watching this. What a woman! What a speech!

[@nafisaawwal7985]

A remarkable woman she is. Such women are needed, may we become good role models too.

[@cinziaadannaebonine222]

The kind of women young Nigerian ladies should look up to

[@sylvietapos9232]

[@graceoyenubi5879]

Great speaker, wish there are many more of her in Nigeria who are PEOPLE CENTERED!

[@tenta20]

Great talk. Amina Mohammed has done some great things for the people and country of Nigeria. Now she is in line for one of Pres. Muhammdu Buhari's ministerial cabinet positions. Hopefully, she can continue to effect positive change from there.

[@smadetokunbo1977]

Just watching 2020 just like yesterday ,very educative speech,thank you

[@wowso4]

Such a inspirational woman I feel so inspired listening to her speech, we the youth need to do our part to help our people through education, awareness and getting involved in issues that will affect us now and in the future. So that we can live a life we can one day look back and be proud of, there’s nothing more rewarding in knowing you are doing your part in helping the government in power to assist people out of poverty. There’s no use in just falling back and when things go wrong putting all the blame in government, we all need to do our part and see how we can get involve and help.
