Growing up in Jalingo, Taraba State, my life was shaped by the realities of living in a place rich in potential but often overlooked. Life wasn’t easy for my family, but it was during these early years that I learned the values of hard work, resilience, and innovation. My parents, Dr. Mrs. Christie S. Zaku and Mr. Fred Taki Zaku, always encouraged me to strive for more, to think beyond our immediate circumstances.

​

As a teenager, I was introduced to the world of blogging and digital marketing by a friend who had just earned $60 through Google AdSense. That small moment was a turning point for me. I didn’t even have my own phone or computer at the time, but I was determined to learn. Using my mother’s phone, I created my first blog, Zakxloaded, and began writing about topics that interested me. Little did I know, that simple blog would open doors to a world I hadn’t even imagined.

​

Through years of dedication, learning, and experimenting, I’ve been able to build a successful career in digital marketing and SEO. I’ve worked with companies, agencies, and entrepreneurs across the globe, helping them grow their online presence and achieve their business goals. I’ve also built and scaled my own businesses, using the very strategies I teach today.

​

Today, I want to share that journey with the world. I want to tell the real story of Nigeria—not the one often told in the media, but the story of a country filled with resilience, talent, and innovation.

 

My story is just one of millions, and I believe it’s time for the world to see the true potential of Nigeria and Africa.
