Introducing the IBIFoundry Talent Hunt - 'Taraba's Got Talent' (Submit Your Talent & Get Featured)

Writer: Simon ZakuSimon Zaku

You know, Nigeria is just one kind amazing place. We have so many people with raw, crazy, mind-blowing talents that the rest of the world would never believe. Let me give you one example.


The other day, I was watching a video on YouTube—Jimmy Kimmel Live. He had one celebrity guest, and she did something that made everybody in the studio start clapping and shouting.


You know what she did? She opened a bottle of Coke with her teeth.


Yes, just like that. And everyone there was acting like she just discovered electricity.


I couldn’t help but laugh. Do you know why?


Because here in Nigeria, even a 10-year-old pikin can do that on a random Tuesday afternoon. In fact, if you go to any roadside suya spot in Jalingo, the guys there are opening Coke bottles with their teeth like it’s nothing. No big deal.


That’s when it hit me—there’s so much talent in this country, especially in places like Taraba, but most of it is hidden.


Nobody sees it. Nobody celebrates it. Meanwhile, things that we consider normal here would blow people’s minds elsewhere.


Introducing the IBIFoundry Talent Hunt


So, here’s the plan. I’m launching the IBI Foundry Talent Hunt to showcase all the hidden talents we have in Taraba, in Nigeria, and beyond.


I don’t care if you’re a singer, a dancer, a poet, an artist, a tech genius, or someone who can balance a basket of oranges on your head while riding a bicycle. Whatever it is that makes you stand out, IBI Foundry wants to shine a spotlight on you.


This is your chance to let the world know what you can do. No talent is too big or too small. We just want to celebrate YOU.


Why You Should Sign Up


Let’s be honest. Talent doesn’t just grow wings and fly on its own. You need a platform, you need people to see what you’re doing, and sometimes you just need someone to say, “You dey try!”/


Here’s what IBI Foundry is offering:


  • We’ll feature you on our blog and social media where thousands of people can see your talent.

  • You’ll get recognition—from friends, family, and even potential opportunities.

  • You’ll join a community of extraordinary people who are doing great things.


We’re here to celebrate you and help you take your talent to the next level.


How to Join


All you have to do is fill out the form below. It’s quick and easy. We just need some details from you:


  • Your Name, Email, and Phone Number

  • Where you’re from

  • What’s your talent?

  • A little more info about your talent (don’t be shy, brag small!)

  • If you have social media links, add them too.


After you fill the form, my team will review your entry, and if you’re selected, we’ll reach out to feature you. Simple as that.


This Is Your Time


Let me tell you something. You can’t keep waiting for someone to discover you—you have to take that step yourself. That’s why I’m creating this platform, so you can have a chance to showcase your gift.


Nigeria has too much talent to remain hidden. IBI Foundry is here to change that. So, don’t dull yourself. Fill the form below and let’s get started.


Your story deserves to be told. Your talent deserves to be seen.


Let’s make it happen.
