Dear @steemitblog

I hereby express interest in becoming a country representative for my country Nigeria. this is in response to the update you made Here

It is my delight work in this capacity as a country representative of my country. see the reason why i would make a good country representative for Nigeria. But before then, I will like to give a brief history of my steemit journey.

A Brief Summary Of My History On Steemit Platform

My username in steemit is @ngoenyi. I only got to be known by this name because I took a decision to join steemit and that was in July, 2020. since then, I have been active in this noble ecosystem without let up. I have completed my achievement posts in the newcomers community and have also been verified since last year.

I have a reputation of 70, I have made over 4000 posts and comments put together, and I have more than 7000 steem power to show how active I am.

I have participated in the #spud4steem where I won 4th place which helped to boost my steem power as I continued posting.

Details of any communities I am involved in, and any contests or other activities I organized

I am currently a MOD in @steemalive community, and also a city cordinator of Uyo city and all other cities where Steemalive does not have city cordinator. these have helped me to reach users in my area and interact with them.

I make a weekly report of the cities I am cordinating and this gives me the opportunity to assist those who need help.
I lecture in the steemalive mentorship program which we hold on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays where we help users both old and new to learn and understand the platform and also to know how they can talk to fellow Nigerians out there to join us.

Apart from steemalive community, I am also a an African steemifoods community Representative where I also help users in my region -African Continent to make an acceptable post in the steemifoods community and to join in the steemifoods contests.

I help them to follow all the rules in the community. In march, I was instrumental in the contest that was organizeed by the steemifoods community specifically for African region which was sponsored by @gbenga. It was a milestone so to speak and the like of it has never been help before then and after then.

The users in my country long for that type of contest even now. To help reach these users, I created a whatsapp group page for them for our interactions as and for me to help put them through in any new and latest development in the community. I also take their complaints to the founder of the community @alikoc03 who then give a listening ear to us.

To foster engagements, I also created a whatsapp group where we all drop our post links so that other users can comment, This method has been very effective. Below are the screenshots from the whatsapp group page I created for the African steemifoods community

In addition to the two communities mentioned above, I am also a steemwomens club african (MOD) Representative, Where I am saddled with the responsibility to assis the African women to make an acceptable post in the community.

I train them on how to understand contests and follow the rules, I guide them on how they can enjoy their experience in the community and steemit at large. I also have a whatsapp group page which I created for an effective management. See a screenshot of the whatsapp group page I created for the African women community

from time to time, i have a lot of steemians in who i help out when they have problems understanding anything in steemit. i try my best to offer solutions to the best of my abilities or reffer them to the appropriate channel is need be.

why i think i would make a good Country Representative

from the above, you can see that i am already doing the work of a representative in my country and even beyound. looking at the duties of a country representative, which includes the following:

The main role of a Country Representative is to support and guide Steemians in their country.

i do this already with the 3 communities i am working with, i support and guide the steemians in my country and regeon by commenting on their posts and making corrections where necessary

They should particularly seek out and greet new Steemians, and guide them to the Newcomers Community and their Country Community if they have one.

I have a lot of recruits already who I help join the newcomers community and guide them make their achievement posts. just on 15th April Alone, i recruited 7 new users. check the post I made here

Here and I have helped them all to join the newcomers community. I am currently guiding them to make their introduction post if which some of them have already posted. Guiding new ones is my hubby. I do so regularly in my private massages with them of which most of them can testify to. I make delegations to them too if they run into deficit of resource credit

If the Country Reps are in a country with a Country Community they will likely be involved in the running of that community moderating and possibly organizing contests for example.

I assist the founder of @steemalive community, @focusnow in running the community especially in the area of mentoring newbies and helping them enjoy their experience.

Nigeria is a fertile ground for steemit as it has over 200,000,000 million population and the users in steemit is just a fraction of that number and it is insignificant. Day by day, we have influx of users who need to be guided and supported. Although we currently have 3 country representatives in Nigeria, but we still need more hand to help reach out to this crowd and assist them to join steemit, help retain them through supports and engagements and i am well suited for this position.

brief summary of how you would go about encouraging more people to join Steem in your country.
i plan on having an online seminars where i will help inactive users to become active.

i will take part in greeting the newbies that join from country and assist them find their footings here.

i will rent a physical location in my locality where i will hold direct those i talk to about steemit to help see that steemit is real not just online. people in my licality believe in what they can see. having a well furnished office here will attract more investors and users.

Radio broadcast will be a regular feature, that way, i can have a wider coverage and reach more people.

i will host contests that are very easy and simple where all participants can earn liquid tron or steem no matter how little. this will surely encourage those who feel they can not meet up with some other contests that are difficult for them especially for the newbies. level of understanding differs and trying to understand and tailor my contests to suid the needs of this less knowledgeable individuals will help them remain active.

In conclusion, i will be very happy if my application is considered. thank you so much @steemitblog for this amazing opportunity.
