Backstory[edit]

The year 2021 saw a great turn out of numerous committed volunteers with active participation in different Wikimedia projects/challenges ranging from Wikipedia article translations, Wikidata/lexemes, wiki commons and Wiktionary etc. Oby Ezeilo thought about creating a platform that would be a viable root for these very committed volunteers which she achieved towards the end of the year 2021. This platform created by Oby has become a place where the progress minded individuals receive mentor-ship from her in collaboration with the Igbo_Wikimedians_User_Group.

Oby Ezeilo achieved this wonderful level of association and mentor-ship circle through follow-ups and proper guidance through a Whatsapp group [| Join the Whatsapp group]] that has now grown to a Telegram group
