At a time when Nigeria is battling not just corruption or insecurity but an identity crisis and generational disconnection, renowned coach and Human Capital Engineer Victor Prince Dickson is leading a civic renaissance with a board game.

National Cake, the One-oasis board experience is not just a game. It is a movement, a metaphor made real. A classroom without walls and a mirror of our national soul. Set to launch officially on September 25, 2025, National Cake dares to do what no civic education textbook or policy reform has done: reconnect Nigerians to Nigeria, one story, one spin, one revelation at a time with about 200 events and policies that shaped Nigerians.

This is not about play, it is about healing,” Dickson says.“We have criticized Nigeria long enough. National Cake is the tool to rekindle belonging, confront our shared pain, and reimagine our collective promise. The truth is that if we do not teach ourselves who we are, the world will tell us who we are not. If we do not guide the children through the crossroads, they may lose the road entirely.”

Built on a foundation of neuroscience, storytelling, and patriotism, National Cake takes players on a journey through Nigerian history, 1914 to 2025, and even goes further to 2075. Blending memory, strategy and emotion.

The game uncovers hidden truths, provokes personal reflection and invites every player, young or old, to ask: What role will I play in rebuilding this nation?

It is civic education reborn. Culture reformed. Patriotism gamified.

In a country where youth often feel excluded and leaders are vilified, National Cake offers a rare and refreshing handshake across generations, a chance for elders to share wisdom, and for youth to reclaim identity and voice.

Victor’s larger mission is clear: to shift the national cake metaphor of “eating the cake” from unending consumption to unending responsibility, using history, culture, experiences, Emotions, and play craft as tools for civic rebirth.

In his own words, ‘If you know your History, the Future will not be a mystery…”With the National Cake launch, Dickson is not selling a product; he is offering a tool of reconciliation, a mechanism of remembrance and a playable prophecy of Nigeria’s possible future.

Victor invites you to join the movement. One box. One player. One nation reborn.Victor Prince Dickson to Launch National Cake: Nigeria’s Civic Board Game designed to Heal the Nation
