I Am Himaz Challenge 2.0

What is this, really?

I Am Himaz Challenge is a talent hunt, not an agency pitch. You create one original ad for Himaz Properties — a video that makes a stranger feel something and follow our page. Your post carries your personal participant code, and everyone you bring must do two simple things: follow our page, then comment your code on our pinned post. That comment is how the system counts them for you.

How Season 1 went

The first I Am Himaz Challenge pulled in 80–90 participants — no agencies, no big budgets, just real people telling a real story about land they could actually believe in. The prizes were real too, and everyone who showed up walked away with something:

• 1st runner-up — a plot of land plus ₦200,000 cash.
• 2nd runner-up — ₦100,000 cash.
• 3rd place — 10 winners, ₦50,000 each.
• Everyone else who entered — 50 participants, ₦20,000 each, just for showing up.

What Season 2 is all about

Same spirit, bigger stage. When the window closes, we add it all up from two sides: the engagement on your own post (comments, shares, reactions — read straight off your public post) and the people you brought to our page (each one who follows us and comments your code on our pinned post counts double). The top 4 go to a public vote. The winner takes home a verified plot of land and ₦500,000 in cash.

We are searching for a prodigy at making ads. If that's you, this is your stage.

Why we're doing this

Here's the honest truth about our business: in Yola, people don't buy land because of a billboard. They buy because someone they trust vouched for it. Word of mouth built Himaz — and word of mouth is exactly what an ad genius creates on purpose.

We could pay a stranger in Lagos to make our ads. Instead, we'd rather find talent right here, reward it publicly, and put it to work on a brand that actually deserves the hype.

Why people actually trust Himaz (your ad's ammo)

You'll be advertising the easiest thing in Nigerian real estate to defend. Use these facts — they're all true, all checkable:

• Every plot is verified before it's listed — title traced, government-acquisition status checked on the state's own ADGIS portal, boundaries confirmed on the ground.
• We publish real prices. Most developers hide prices until you call — we tell you exactly what a plot costs, estate by estate, before you ever have to ask.
• Payments go to a company account, with documented receipts. Never a personal account.
• See it before you buy it — physical site visits, or a live video walkthrough if you're buying from anywhere in the world.
• Flexible payment plans — 3 months on most estates, 40% to start.

Know your ammo: the estates

Real facts you can drop straight into your ad — check anything specific against the document pack before you say a number on camera.

Himaz Trade Center — commercial

The first private Trade Center in the Northeast. Location: After NNPC Depot, before AD Bashar Car Wash, Numan Road, Yola South, Adamawa.

• Warehouses, shops and trailer parks
• Perimeter fencing, 24/7 CCTV and security
• Light, water and every basic amenity already on site

Himaz Town — residential

Behind the NNPC Depot, about 3 minutes off the main road. Over 700 plots.

• Planned road network and drainage throughout
• Land set aside for a market, a school and a recreation ground — a real town, not just plots
• Perimeter security and room to grow

Himaz Arewa Estate — residential

One of our best-located residential sites. Over 400 plots, with more than 300 already sold — the kind of scarcity you can say on camera and mean it.

How to actually win it — tips from the inside

• Post between 6–8 PM WAT — that's when Yola is on Facebook. Timing is free reach.
• Push it everywhere for 48 hours: WhatsApp status, your story, family groups. The first two days decide how far Facebook carries it.
• Tell every person who follows exactly what to do next — "follow the page, then drop my code HMZ-2026-014 in the comments of the pinned post." One clear instruction doubles how many actually do it.
• Reply to every single comment. The algorithm rewards conversation; people reward warmth.
• Tell your people: one comment each. A follow counts once per person — commenting your code five times from the same account adds nothing, and it muddies your numbers. Clean support reads better and scores the same.
• Hook in the first 3 seconds. Start with the sentence you'd use to stop a friend mid-laugh.
• End with a reason to follow the page — not just "follow us," but "follow so you catch the prices before plots finish."
