ABOUT THE NEW NIGERIAN(TNN)

The Nexus Network is a youth-driven, culture-powered advocacy platform on a mission to make legal literacy and civic participation cool, loud, and impossible to ignore.

We’re here to disrupt traditional advocacy by meeting people where they already are — on their feeds, in their slang, through stories that feel like theirs.

No more boring PDFs and passive campaigns. We're building a movement powered by:

• Street-smart, rights-rich content
• Culturally immersive storytelling
• Bold visuals and motion that feel like protest art and pop culture had a baby
• Gen-Z energy, Nigerian grit, and global relevance

If ignorance is out, legal confidence is in — and we’re the ones ushering in the new wave.

We're Hiring: Motion Designer (Volunteer Role) - Join The Disruption

The New Nigerian (TNN) isn’t just another awareness page. It’s a movement.

We’re reinventing what legal literacy, civic participation, and human rights advocacy look like — and we’re doing it with the kind of cultural energy that hits just as hard as music drops, protest chants, and meme culture.

We’re launching soon. And we need you — a Motion Designer who’s bold, culturally fluent, and ready to shape how justice moves.

What You'll Do:

As our Motion Designer, you’ll help bring our unapologetic brand to life. We’re talking:

• Design short-form videos (Reels, TikToks, and Stories) that are both informative and high-energy
• Create animated taglines and kinetic text using our bold slogans (e.g. “Ignorance is out. Advocacy is in.”)
• Support campaign launches with teaser animations, motion-driven visuals, and protest-style art
• Bring stories to life through animations.
• Turn legal knowledge into motion graphics that make complex topics engaging and clear.
Collaborate with our founder and content team to align every visual with our branding tone (think: glitchy, raw, cultural, and bold)

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience with After Effects, Premiere Pro, or similar motion tools.
• Strong eye for cultural and aesthetic relevance (Gen Z + Nigerian digital culture).
• Ability to translate abstract ideas into visual, digestible formats.
• Understanding of typography, timing, and audio-syncing for social media.
• Passion for social impact and storytelling.
• Interest in activism, justice, or Nigerian sociopolitical context is a plus, but not required. We're happy to guide you through the vision if you're passionate about meaningful design.
Consistent, great work ethic, reliable communication and creative initiative.

Time Commitment:

We’re flexible. Ideally, 4–7 hours per week, with higher involvement during major campaigns or launches.

This isn’t just design. It’s visual rebellion.

You'll Fit If:

• You have motion design skills — tools like After Effects, CapCut, Premiere Pro, Canva Pro animation (or whatever magic you work with).
• You’re obsessed with making content that moves people (literally and emotionally).
• You love youth culture, Gen Z storytelling, and bold activism.
You believe advocacy doesn’t have to be beige — it can be beautiful, badass, and biting.

Why Join Us:

✨ Be part of building something real from the ground up

✨See your work make impact in legal literacy, fashion, and youth advocacy

✨ Collaborate closely with the founder + early team

✨ Flexible remote schedule | recommendations included

✨ Grow with a platform that’s bold, disruptive, and unapologetically purpose-driven
