In the quest to redefine media representation, Forsige.com emerges as a formidable contender to reclaim Forbes.com’s esteemed position, aiming to acknowledge every stratum of society.
In 2019, a 21-year-old Nigerian student, Nasiru Abdulrasheed, woke up to a realization: something seemed amiss within the media landscape. The seed of an idea sprouted—a notion that would soon gain traction beyond borders.
Now, let’s rewind and delve into the narrative.
Why does such a stark imbalance persist in media portrayal? Where did the world veer off course?
Vital endeavours often go unnoticed, especially across Africa, where groundbreaking advancements in innovation and technology remain overshadowed by a media spotlight fixated solely on affluence and rubbish.
The media’s tendency to exalt the wealthy neglects the transformative contributions of other societal strata, perpetuating a skewed narrative.
Enter Forbes, a catalyst in this dynamic.
While tales of affluent individuals conquering Mount Everest may occasionally grace our screens, the plight of a starving child on an Asian street or the daily atrocities fueled by social instability in Africa too often escape our attention—unless they fit a preconceived narrative.
But Forsige seeks to rewrite this narrative, meticulously examining every facet of society, leaving no stone unturned in its pursuit of truth. As it sets its sights on becoming the next Forbes, Forsige unveils a rebranding strategy spanning Forsige Africa, Forsige Asia, Forsige Europe, Forsige America, and beyond, poised to deliver breaking news with unparalleled depth.
More than a mere news outlet, Forsige embodies a beacon of empowerment—a platform where every individual finds resonance. “Forsige isn’t just about headlines; it’s about empowerment,” declares Nasiru Abdulrasheed, the visionary founder. “We believe that recognition is a powerful force. When we celebrate achievements, we inspire others to reach for greatness.”

It has also claimed its main general ethics as an influencer magazine, a meaning so spelt below the elbow that every kind of person can fit in.
Forsige emerged from a burning desire to create a continental media platform—one that transcends borders and celebrates achievements regardless of background or location. Nasiru’s vision was clear: Forsige would be more than just a news outlet; it would be a catalyst for positive change, shedding light on critical issues and fostering informed discussions.
Forsige’s influence extends beyond Nigeria. Its influence extends far beyond Africa’s shores, resonating globally as a unifying voice, connecting diverse communities and celebrating their shared humanity.
Forsige’s commitment aligns with Forbes Africa’s annual “30 Under 30” list, which features multi-hyphenate entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders shaping Africa’s future. Forsige’s impact echoes the spirit of these young titans, who lead on their own terms.
Armed with this insight, Nasiru Eneji Abdulrasheed founded Forsige, an ambitious platform that aims to reclaim the position held by Forbes.com in Africa.
