Verdict: The claim is false. DUBAWA’s verification found no credible evidence that Establish Goba met Tiwa Savage and Simi as alleged in the viral post.

A Facebook page named “Foday Daboh” shared a post (Archived here) congratulating Sierra Leonean influencer Establish Goba for allegedly meeting Nigerian celebrities Tiwa Savage and Simi.
The post, which has over 100 comments, included a photograph showing three women standing outdoors, with social media users identifying them as Establish Goba, Tiwa Savage, and Simi. The claim attracted significant online engagement, with many users believing the meeting actually occurred.
Because of the influence and popularity of the personalities involved, DUBAWA decided to verify the authenticity of the image and accompanying claim.
Verification
DUBAWA reviewed the official social media accounts of each of the celebrities involved in the claim and found no such post or image on any of their pages. See here for Establish, here and here for Tiwa Savage, then here and here for Simi.
A review of Establish’s page regarding the photo led DUBAWA to a Facebook post in September 2025, when the image was originally published as a solo picture (without Tiwa Savage and Simi). Another post also showed the same image uploaded with the caption “welcome to Makeni,” depicting a visit to the Northern Capital.
DUBAWA also subjected the viral image of Establish standing between Tiwa Savage and Simi to an AI image detection analysis. The result showed a 93% likelihood that the image was AI-generated, with a “high confidence” classification indicating the image was likely fabricated.

AI Analysis of the viral image
Further visual examination of the image also revealed inconsistencies commonly associated with AI-generated content, including unnatural facial details, lighting irregularities, and background blending distortions.
No reputable entertainment blog, verified celebrity page, or mainstream media outlet reported the alleged interaction despite the high-profile nature of the personalities involved.
These findings are validated by another AI tool, aiornot.com, which gives a score of 99 per cent likelihood of digital manipulation.

Conclusion
The viral claim that Sierra Leonean influencer Establish Goba met Nigerian music stars Tiwa Savage and Simi is false. DUBAWA’s verification found that the picture was originally taken as a solo image in September 2025, and there is no credible evidence to support the claim that she took the picture with Tiwa Savage and Simi. Additionally, AI analysis indicated that the attached image was likely artificially generated. In summary, the post is a digitally manipulated piece of misinformation shared on social media.
