NAME, AGE, NATIONALITY, BIRTH PLACE AND RESIDENCE COUNTRY

Hello and Good day my fellow Steemers. I am very happy and pleased to be part of this great platform.
My name is Khaalid as an individual, and my official name is Qaasim Khaalid Ishola as we know surname comes first in official writings which means that my surname (father’s name) is Qaasim.
My birth name was actually Khaalid Qaasim Badmaasi in my birth certificate and my Arabic credentials. The Badmaasi at the end of this name is my grandfather’s name but I later changed it to Ishola as the last name when I wanted to do my Junior secondary school three (JSS3) exam which I am now using till date.
I was born in Saudi-Arabia in year 1991 in the capital city of Riyadh at a time my father was a student at King Imam Saud university though I am a Nigerian by nationality because my father and mother are both of Nigerian origin. I am currently 30 years old. I was born into extended family and lived a happy life.
I started my basic education at the age of six years in an elementary Arabic school in Riyadh where I studied for two and half years before I travelled finally back to Nigeria in 1999 with my family due to the fact that my father had completed his post graduate studies in the university as at that time where he attained a first class honours in PHD in Arabic syntax and morphology. So, we moved with him back to Nigeria because he had completed his studies.
Studying and being born in Saudi-Arabia actually gave me a very strong background and knowledge in Arabic language and literature which I am very pleased with.
I am currently studying Oral and Dental medicine in International university of Africa (IUA) in Khartoum Sudan which is my current country of residence.

FAMILY

I was born into a polygamous family, my father has three wives, I happened to be the sixth child of my father and mother and we practiced Islam as our religion.
I have twenty-one siblings and my mother was the first wife of my father and the queen of the family, my siblings are as follows: ten from my mother’s side, seven siblings from the second wife and three siblings from the third wife.
From my mother’s side I have 10 siblings which comprise 5 girls and 5 boys with me inclusive we are eleven.
Moreover, from the second wife (step mother) 7 siblings which comprises 5 boys and 2 girls and lastly from the third wife just 3 girls making a total of twenty-one children.
My father was a hardworking businessman, a great Arabic and Islamic scholar and university lecturer who understood the importance of taking care of the family both the children and the wives.
Contrary, to the popular beliefs that polygamous family are poor people, ours was not like that as our parents fed us with balanced diet on a daily basis of at least three-square meals and we were enrolled in the best schools in the community which are privately owned as public schools were not properly managed by the government in most cases.
We as the children have always had it in mind to payback the good treatment and the privileges made available to us by our parent in their old age and make them happy. Some of my elder brothers and sisters who had already been employed both married and unmarried among them have started helping our parent in terms of finance and support, I hope to be able to do that as well in years to come.
My father is now a professor of Arabic syntax and morphology in Hikmah university, Adewole estate, Ilorin, Kwara state, Nigeria while my mother is a fashion designer and a successful trader who trades in stationery materials such as books, pens, eraser, pencils and the rest. She also sells snacks, drinks, clothing materials and women wears.
I am happy to be born into a successful and academic oriented family because as large as we were in number no one is unlearned and illiterate among us all. My father’s and mother’s desires and ambitions for academic excellence might have took part in this incredible feat and achievement to God be the glory.
Our parent had always trained us to be God-fearing, kind-hearted and be good to fellow human beings and everything that has life in general.
I have good relationships with my siblings both from maternal and paternal side and we lived happily together till I travelled out to study.
My parent are a little bit old though they are still strong and agile carry out their normal daily routine domestic activities perfectly and as usual. I hope and pray for them longevity, peacefulness and prosperous life ahead in many years to come.

EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY

As an old word would say, “everyone has a story to tell”
As regards my educational career, I happened to have been to different places of learning due to series of migration that I undertook with my parents right from my childhood to my adolescent age.
Like I said earlier, I started my first conventional learning in ‘’Ali Bin Abu Talib’’ primary school in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) at the age of six yeas where I studied for two and half years from 1997 to second half of 1999 before migrating with my family back to Nigeria. To the best of my knowledge, I did not attend any nursery school throughout my educational journey.
On reaching Nigeria, I went to one school named Al-ameen international nursery and primary in Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria before migrating with my parent again to Ilorin, Kwara state, Nigeria when he secured a lecturing job at College of higher of Arabic and Islamic studies which has now been upgraded to a university called Al-hikmah university situated in Adewole estate, Ilorin Kwara state, Nigeria.
On reaching Ilorin, I started learning at a school called ‘’Darul Kitab wa Sunnah’’ nursery and primary school where I started from primary two till I reached primary six spending almost five years.
After graduating with a second position out of the students in class I proceeded to one school called ‘’Government day secondary school’’, Adewole Ilorin, Kwara state, Nigeria.
I only studied in this school for one year because it was a mismanaged government owned school where we were not taught well and most often we sit down with no classes to take. Owing to this factor and my father’s passion for Arabic and western education and moreover there is no enabling environment and opportunity for me to combine between this two academic units in Ilorin as at that material time, I moved back to Ibadan there seems to be an opportunity to achieve that ambition than staying in Ilorin all in Nigeria.
On reaching Ibadan, I did an entrance exam into a secondary school called ‘’Ummul-Qura high school, Amuloko, Ibadan and at the same time I enrolled in ‘’Islamic preaching school’’ at Olorunsogo Ibadan thereby combining both western and Arabic education at the same time.
I graduated after studying for six years in the secondary but I was left with five years to complete my Arabic education, so my father told me to come back to Ilorin so I can complete my Arabic education there which I did.
I completed my Arabic education in Darul-Kitab college of Arabic and Islamic studies in year 2015 with a distinction.
In 2016, I re-took my senior secondary school certificate examination (SSCE) because I was willing to study outside Nigeria and it was required of me in order to gain admission to use a SSCE certificate of not less than four years to get scholarship outside the country as at that time.
The result came and I cleared all my papers, with my result I proceeded and studied at university of Ilorin, Ilorin Kwara state for a year studying agriculture and I worked as an Arabic teacher at my father’s primary school for a year and half before gaining admission to university of Africa, Khartoum Sudan towards the last quarter of 2018 to study Oral and Dental medicine which I am studying till now and I am now in third year. The course in my school has a duration of five years.
I happened to be Quranic memorizer (HAFIZ), a teacher, and a scholar of Arabic language and as well as that of holy books.
So that is all, regarding my educational career atleast for now.

WHY I CHOSE @alendoreeij TO BE MY PROFILE IDENTITY (ID)

I chose this username because I have been always called ‘’ALENDO’’ as a nickname by my siblings and close friends right from my childhood age and I grew up liking the name and as for the other part ‘’REEIJ’’ , it is actually the name of a girl who is my course mate in the university who is very close to me and we used to talk and as time goes people start to say sort of things like she is your crush, your fiancée, your partner and so on which is very amusing and lovely.
So in a nutshell, I just decided to add it to my nickname ‘’Alendo’’ to make it ‘’alendoreeij’’
Amusing and laughable isn’t it?

HOW I GOT TO KNOW ABOUT CRYPTOCURRENCY AND MY INTERACTIONS WITH IT

I got to know about cryptocurrency in 2017 through a social media, facebook to be precise, the coin that I came about at that time was bitcoin and it was around 1000 dollars in value for one bitcoin as that time though it fluctuates higher or lower at that time too as bitcoin is not a stable coin.
I made further research about it until I met a friend of mine who is a blogger (Aurthur Presh) who advised me to use luno’s wallet if I want to buy bitcoin because it is reliable and trusted.
Of course, I bought a little fraction of bitcoin from a merchant and I stored it in my wallet which I later sold off when it appreciated in value.
Right from 2017, I followed up and make deep research about crypto until the year 2018 when the bear market sets in and mostly all the coins depreciated in value and it was the same year I travelled out when I gained admission so owing to this followed it up much like before.
I later sold some the coins in my portfolio in year 2020 January to be precise and I saved the profit gained.
I am a crypto lover and researcher. Also, I lecture people about crypto and maintenance of security of accounts and wallets so as not to be duped by online scammers and the rest.
I also used a lot of wallets such as safepal, trustwallet, binance and so on.
Moreover, I trade and save coins as portfolios while I also claimed some from faucets and I claim through airdrops (free coins).
Nowadays, newbies need to be carful as regards airdrops because it is now used as an opportunity to steal through the forming of malicious links, phishing, scam coins and the rest. So it is advisable to use separate wallet for in order not tp fall prey to scammers.
In conclusion, I am a crypto lover, trader and a mentor as regards cryptocurrency and its space.

HOW I HEARD ABOUT STEEMIT

Actually, I heard about Steemit dated back to five years ago precisely 2016 when a guy in our crypto Whatsapp group introduce it to us saying it is a posting platform where you post your write-ups and earn cryptocurrency. As at that time, a lot of people doubt this with me inclusive saying how can someone be paying people just for postings, something which people do almost everyday on social media outlets and due to my busy schedule at that time, I did not bother myself to make research on it till I later forgot.
Now, around August this year (2021), I heard @eberechi10 saying in a crypto community that there is a platform where you can earn without investing and it also equip you on how to be a good content writer where you do not need to be afraid of the bear season in the crypto space before you earn. I got curious about this and I asked him, he took his time to explain to me and gave me some weblinks to help me understand better.
Later, he gave me @vectorshore Whatsapp’s number to chat him up for guidelines and the guy really proved to be kind-hearted and ready to assist. The guy also gave me some weblinks and explained a lot of things to me including the ‘’do’s and don’t’s’’ of steemit.
I made some research on my own as well and I came to realize that Steemit platform is really for my type and with time I could soar higher and improve myself by being part of this great platform in many areas of disciplines such as education, trading, cryptocurrency, health, enlightening others and so on.

MY REASONS FOR USING STEEMIT

Well, my reasons to be here is quite clear and simple. It is to learn how to be a good content creator and a prolific writer who produces a plagiarism-free and a error-free write-ups.
Furthermore, to contribute my quota in making this platform more popular and greater through teaching and rendering assistance to everyone that needs guidelines as regards Steemit.
Lastly, to socialize myself with new buddies and fellas from every nooks and crannies of the world both locally and abroad.

WHAT MY STEEMIT POSTS WILL BE ALL ABOUT?

Regarding this, I will be posting on articles, health sciences, Arabic language, holy books, and other valuable stuffs.
As for article writings and Arabic language this are the major skills I studied and acquired and they have been part of for a very long time which I can easily impact on others who are interested with no hesitation while on the other hands regarding medicine and dentistry, I am still learning about it in school and have deep passion for it especially the restorative aspect of dentistry.
I hope to meet others who are into the same area of the aforementioned careers and skills on how we can exchange ideas and also to carry along and inspire others who are into the same field of study.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read through the introduction post.
Thank you and God bless you all.
To the attention of @cryptokannon, @focusnow, @whitestallion, @starrchris, @bright-obias and my fellow steemers in general.
