If you’re a Nigerian public figure, entrepreneur, creative, or brand builder trying to gain online credibility, one thing you’ve probably heard is:

“You’re not notable until you’re on Wikipedia.”

And for good reason.

Wikipedia isn’t just a free encyclopedia — it’s a global credibility engine. It’s one of the most visited websites in the world, and its entries consistently rank #1 on Google.

For Nigerians, especially those growing a personal brand, getting a Wikipedia page can:

- Boost your Google searchvisibilityy

- Help you qualify for Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter/X verification

- Act as a reference for press, investors, and potential partners

- Serve as a neutral third-party record of your public achievements

But here’s the reality…

You can’t just create a Wikipedia page for yourself or your brand and expect it to stay up.

Wikipedia has strict guidelines — and if you don’t meet them, your page will be deleted within hours or days.

That’s why in this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to get a legitimate, verified Wikipedia page as a Nigerian, whether you're a:

Musician
Startup founder
Author
Influencer
NGO or business brand

Let’s start with the one thing most people get wrong…

The Logo ❤️ 😍

A few weeks ago, a girl from Jos DM’d me.

She said:

“Sir, I’m a self-taught animator. I’ve been creating videos from my phone since 2022 but no one takes me seriously.
I want to apply… but I’m scared I’m not good enough.”

I told her:
“You don’t need a million followers. You just need courage to show up.”

That’s why we created the IbiFoundry Talent Hunt —
To give real Nigerians a shot at being seen, supported, and scaled.
Not because of who they know — but because of what they can do.

🟩 So here’s how to join:

STEP 1: Go to ibifoundry.com.ng/
STEP 2: Fill the short form (name, what you do, upload sample or idea)
STEP 3: Submit before the deadline
STEP 4: Wait for our shortlist email + be ready to show us your magic

No fees.
No agents.
Just you, your idea, and a chance to be discovered.

If you’ve got a skill, talent, or bold idea — now is your time.
And if you know someone like that? Tag them below.

Let’s change the story for Nigerian youth — one talent at a time.

When we launched the IbiFoundry Talent Hunt, it wasn’t just to “spot talent.”

It was to wake up the hidden geniuses across Nigeria.

The ones designing in silence.

Building in their bedrooms.

Hustling without connections.

Creating fire, but nobody’s watching.

We said:
“Enough.”

So we created a hunt — not just for skills, but for boldness.
For raw potential.
For people who just need 1 shot to change their life.

No application fees.
No fancy CVs.
Just your skill. Your idea. Your dream.

And guess what?

🔥 We’re spotlighting real Nigerians
🔥 Connecting them to real opportunities
🔥 And giving them tools to grow faster than ever.

When I sat down to design the IbiFoundry logo… it wasn’t just about graphics.

It was about a story — our story. 🇳🇬🔥🌊🎙

I remember asking myself:
“How can a single logo tell the story of Nigeria, Taraba, and every silent talent waiting to be heard?”

So I started piecing together symbols that matter:

💚 The Green & White? That’s the Nigerian flag. We’re proudly built from the soil of Naija.

🎙️ The Mic? Because we’re here to give global voice to the unheard — every skilled youth, every brilliant idea.

🌊 The River-like Curve? That’s the Ibi River in Taraba — the hometown flow that shaped this dream.

🔥 The Flame? That’s our undying passion to fuel innovation, creativity, and real change.

This logo is more than design.

It’s a movement.
It’s a vow.
It’s IbiFoundry.

Tag someone who needs to see this.
📣 And if you're ready to rise, grow, and create impact with us — now's the time.

Howfarr, IbiFounders!!!! Happy weekend, Happy Sallah!!!

Simon Zaku here...

You see, I still remember the first time I heard about Adobe Express.

Decades ago, I was just starting out as a blogger online in digital marketing.

I’d see YouTube videos and blog posts where “big tech guys” used Adobe tools. It always felt like something far from me — like it belonged to another world.

"Oboi Adobe Express???"

Fast forward to now...

I opened my email and saw this:

“We’d love to collaborate with you.”

From who?

ADOBE EXPRESS!!!! 😳

This is the same brand I grew up hearing about.

The same brand I looked up to - without ever imagininga time like this.

And now in my inbox?

Thank You to God, Thank You For Grace!!

But MOST IMPORTANTLY...

This NOT a flex!

It’s a message to anyone out there who’s starting out and thinking,

“Who will even notice me?”

Here’s the truth:

Your brand as a freelancer is your loudest CV.

Not the grammar.
Not the plenty certificates - Yes they do help!

Just the way you show up online — your content, your positioning, and the kind of energy you bring into your space.

I don’t live in Silicon Valley. I don't have the best tech tools!

I didn’t go to some fancy business school.

I’m just a Nigerian freelancer FROM TARABA STATE NIGERIA, who decided to position himself in a way the world couldn’t ignore.

And that’s exactly what I want to teach you.

So I’m launching a 7-Day WhatsApp class called:

🟢 7-Day 1 On 1 WhatsAppCoaching Training for Beginner & Newbie Freelancers in Nigeria.

This is not just theory.

This is exactly what I’ve done to get offers from global companies like Adobe Express. And dozens more I've worked with.

If I can do it from my little room here in Jalingo, Taraba State in Nigeria, with just my laptop, data, and strategy — YOU CAN DO IT TOO.

But one more thing...

Only 15 limited spots available.

We start soon (more details on modules, and start date in next posts!)

Let’s build your freelance brand like it was meant to be global.

Like I always say "YOU ARE JUST ONE (1) CLIENT AWAY FROM CHANGING YOUR LIFE"

Stay tuned, IbiFounders!!!

Cheers,
