I just imagine a world in which every single person can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. I find it very interesting when I freely share some of my unique contents which led to my discovering of Creative Common and Wikipedia. Many thanks to the Wikimedia Foundation, Jimmy Wales, and the community members. I’m here to contribute my knowledge and skill to help facilitate the Wikimedia movement.

About me

[edit]

My name is Oguntimehin A. Ariyo, a Photo-Journalist and a Painter. I obtained a Higher National Diploma certificate in Painting from Auchi Polytechnic , Edo State south-western Nigeria. I later received a Postgraduate diploma in education in 2006 before I received a certificate in Photo journalism from the prestigious Nigeria Institute of journalism in 2010. I’m a recipient of numerous awards in photography and I’ve facilitated various Art and Photography workshops as well as Photography competitions in Nigeria. In addition to these, I have participated in almost all the major festivals in Nigeria and other West African countries. My works have also been exhibited in several museums and galleries in Nigeria. I was a jury in The Art for Peace Project organized by Ufuk Dialogue Foundation in Turkey. I currently work as an Artist, Documentary Photography, Instructor and a freelance photo-journalist in major Nigerian Newspapers and magazine.
