@ijebest & her newbies at the promotion ground.

Hello everyone 👏👏
I'm very excited for being here in this contest again, it's a beautiful thing that this steemit challenge engagement is already at the 4th week, just the other day it started, we are moving forward and all of us expect to win, by the grace of God we will keep steeming high and higher and keep winning.

WHAT IS STEEMIT PLATFORM
Steemit platform is a beautiful platform that is known world over engaging in up to three magnificent activities which includes:
** Blockchain digital technology
** Social Media interactions
** Cryptocurrency.
Steemit platform also is formed in communities where users are permitted to create original contents that will be curated and rewarded in 3 main currencies, steem power, steem dollars (SBD)and Tron. This is a platform that is based on the creation of original contents that are rewarded to the users and the content creators and curators too. Steemit has separated and honoured itself from many other social medias by being able to give rewards to it's users. Steemit is a decentralized platform that has not allowed the executives to be in control of affairs, Power is in the hands of the users in this platform. Amazing!!!!!, Steemit rewards it's members with Steem, cryptocurrency for their posting, commenting and up voting of contents in their different communities. This platform has numerous members and numerous communities all around the globe and we still need more people to sign up and become steemians. Come on and join us today!!!!.

HOW WELL IS STEEMIT KNOWN IN YOUR COUNTRY, NIGERIA ? DO YOU THINK IT'S POPULAR ENOUGH OR THERE IS A NEED FOR PUBLICITY?

In my country Nigeria, steemit has not been well known for so many reasons. The citizens here know and are using other social medias like Facebook, Instagram, Scoop, Twitter, TikTok and so many of them even new ones that are just coming up. Reasons include that the

Nigerian government frowns at cryptocurrency, government of the day has refused to legalize the currency

Some times ago the Central Bank Of Nigeria governor by name Godwin Emefiele announced the freezing of the accounts of any cryptocurrency users reason being that it's not legal according to them. Even the Senate decided on a law against cryptocurrency. Lots of young people that are into the business are hiding themselves not to be arrested. During the end SARS protest in the country, some cryptocurrency accounts of many youths were frozen like the popular musicians, the twin brothers peter and Paul okoye, "the psq" after a very long interrogations their accounts were released. Some were detained in cells, a lady by name Dj Switch, she is really a Dj because of the government order, she ran out of this country and is now living in Canada because the government were after her. So it has not really gained ground in my country, Nigeria. As of now because of the government disturbances to the citizens, about cryptocurrency, people are afraid to boldly join, but we with our love to this platform and special wisdom, we have been moving forward convincing people to join.
Yet, steemit platform is promoted by us and it's known by very few, you know Nigeria is a populous country of about 200, million people as at census conducted at 2016. With many ethnicity and diverse languages and tribes and dialects. When steemit will gain full ground in my country, it will be a total harvest of members/ steemians, Nigerians love using Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, the sky will just be our starting point in leaps and bounds in steemit, if Nigerians fully embrace it, wow!!.

**Another reason it's not too known is because of the low exchange rate, it's now an excuse for some people not to join, when you tell them about cryptocurrency, digital money, they will make you know that they know that the exchange rate is very low now and it's discouraging to us. we still know it's a general thing to all the digital transactions, but it's very discouraging to those yet to sign up to the platform. The low rate is discouraging really.

**Another factor is fear, people are very afraid that steemit may one day fold up like all the ponzy schemes all around tormenting people, after they may have invested huge amount of money, these unrealistic companies will fold up suddenly,so many people assume that steemit is one of those. I have kept explaining to newbies that you can't spend a dime signing up rather they will reward you for publishing original contents. Many though have believed me and signed up some are still the "doubting Thomas" Which is lack of knowledge and it's not helping them at all.

**Some have the expectations that they will be rewarded with traveling abroad, car awards, all expenses paid tour trip to the steemitblog head quarters abroad. When you now tell them just writing original contents can pay you, many will decline by thinking it's a waste of time. They will become very lazy to just write and earn in dollars which is the real truth in steemit platform. I'm not discouraged because steemit has come to stay and to become a house hold name on the lips of every Nigerian that's my faith, after all steemit platform was just introduced into Nigeria for the first time in the year 2020 by our one and only founder, @focusnow but see how the fire is ravaging the whole country, many of us heard on the radio and joined, some were signed up during our regular roadshows, don't worry, steemit platform will take over Nigeria soonest.

There are needs for publicity about steemit platform, and this brings in our numerous efforts we have made to see steemit become known as a house hold name in this country Nigeria.

WHAT ARE THE WAYS YOU THINK THE PROMOTION OF STEEMIT CAN BE MORE EFFECTIVE IN YOUR COUNTRY? THIS CAN INCLUDE SPECIAL PROJECTS YOU HAVE IN MIND

*** I think the steemitblog can go all ahead to have a television station of their own by name 'STEEMIT SOCIAL MEDIA BLOCKCHAIN/ CRYPTOCURRENCY TELEVISION STATION CHINA'
With the head quarters in China, but can be trancemiting the news and connecting to people from all around the globe like CNN television we are viewing all around the globe today. In different languages & dialects for people to know and understand more about steemit. In these stations the only thing that will be presented on 24 hours bases will be talks, trainings & teachings about steemit platform and all that we represent and some steemians will be signing people online right there as the program goes on.

** Better still our steemit platform team I mean the steemitblog team can grant interviews in CNN television stations to talk about, training and teaching the masses about steemit platform and the huge benefits of signing up to become steemians and rewards that we will give to people.
** Remember signing up in steemit platform is a huge relief to many unemployed youths, it's a complete employment to many, many lives have changed. Many poor youths in Africa will embrace it whole heartdly that will change their lives for the best.

** Steemitblog platform can increase their work of charity in so many hunger, poverty and war ravaged countries of the world through trainings and presentations in CNN, BBC, STARTIMES, Gotv television stations, better still through E station in any of the television stations, reaching larger audience to know and sign many up to become permanent steemians by giving food items as we are already doing in @steemalive community in Nigeria. It's possible, please.

** We can create our own a Facebook platform by name 'STEEMIT FACEBOOK' that will only be showcasing the beauties in steemit platform. Steemians can as well be coming there to share testimonies of the benefits we have been getting since we joined steemit platform. From these suggestions of mine and a great more, steemit platform can become a huge success and a house hold name all around the globe.

DO YOU THINK STEEMIT WOULD BE ADOPTED MORE IN YOUR COUNTRY, NIGERIA IF THE POINTS YOU LISTED ABOVE ARE IMPLEMENTED?

Yes, yes, reasons being that Nigerians love watching programs, like all those football leagues and matches they can even bet money Who will win in advance before watching those, the also love watching boxing, listening to news from the radios & televisions. Many Nigerian families pay regularly monthly subscriptions to Gotv, BBC, Aljezira, Startimes, and so many others just not to miss any event of their Choices which are also their favorites. The same way they will cling to 'STEEMIT SOCIAL MEDIA BLOCKCHAIN DIGITAL/ CRYPTOCURRENCY TELEVISION STATION CHINA'. If opened.😂😂.

** I have been able to sign up many people including two people living in different cities from where I reside. All these and more

@Ijebest talking to Abia Polytechnic students in their premises to sign up with steemit platform during one of our roadshows 2021.

through out last year 2021, I joined up in steemit platform, we have been going out on roadshow activities every Tuesdays and Fridays by 9:00am and close up by 2:00pm, that is twice in one week without fail. We gather together @steemalive center by 9: 00 am collect our fliers and our scroll banners and go out to a particular location telling people about steemit and signing them up. Most times we go to Abia Polytechnic in Aba, through this, many students have become steady steemians till today. As time went on we have to be divided into teams. We had team winners and team pacesetters. Led by @kingrichy and @peterabagi. Our team members were having healthy competitions which team will sign up more newbies. We had a steemalive Whatsapp group where we showcase our activities on daily basis and another Whatsapp group where we train our newbies on certain days.
** The materials we use are our fliers, our face caps, our T-shirts, our scrolling banners and the words of our mouth.

Our team winners, talking to youth corpers members in their camp to sign up with steemit platform.many signed up before passing out from the Thier camps.

scrolling banners and everyone of us wearing his or her branded steemit T shirt and face caps. We look very attractive, some people can even come and sign up on their own accord after looking at us from a distance. It's fun.

**Another of my efforts to promote steemit is our food for thought program initiated by our leader @focudnow this last April 2022.

@focusnow, @ijebest, @marajah and a newbie at the Steemit center Aba, strategizing on how to go to markets in Aba, to sign up business owners and their businesses into our sell more with Steem project on google for greater viewers and buyers.
Conclusion, with these points of mine and many more not mentioned, steemit platform and it's activities will be on 🔥🔥 fire, on every lips and it will be fully engaged like Facebook Instagram Scoop, Twitter and TikTok and Whatsapp in my country, Nigeria. I'm sure of this, Nigerians love good opportunities, and steemit platform is it.
