Hello, Steemit. Elias Chijioke is my name but I prefer eliasjay coz I think it sounds household (common). Yesterday was my first time on Steemit but first of all—with all due respect—introduction before it’s late.

My Life
Like I said, Elias Chijioke is my name but I prefer eliasjay; It appears simple and memorable. I’m the last boy in a family of five boys—a little black Nigerian boy with a thick dark brown eye. By His grace, I studied English at Covenant University, and I just came out last year. Nigeria is my country; I’m proud of it, its diversity in culture, tradition, belief system, etc. and its multi-ethnic and multi-lingual features. What a fun to be here in Nigeria! Anambra is my state…was raised there too. Ehe, before I forget, I have a bean-like head, an oval face. The thickness of my leg could be compared to that of an elephant tusk. That notwithstanding, however, I have a dull eye, also a large flat nose which could inhale much air at once. Abeg, I’m done here oo…don’t get it twisted.

My Likes and Dislikes
Huh, I cherish smart work; I abhor hard word. I hope you understand. We work smart and not hard. I just hate it when people say they are working hard coz it gives me this feeling of it-is-not-easy-at-all or that you must suffer to the point of death before you arrive at success. Truthfully, I do not work hard; I work smart. Also on the list, I play Keyboard at my leisure time. I love reading; I write a lot, especially prose and poetry. The both, I think, are the possible ways to express one’s emotions, thoughts, ideas, religion, criticisms, stupidity, lol, and foolishness. I don’t know how that might sound but…

Okay, I like football ( playing and watching) and I love children, I mean kids. I do my damndest to make them happy coz they are the future…I can say that again, more than again. The last, but not least, Meehn, I love Steemit.

How I met Steemit or should I say…..How Steemit met me…either

First and foremost, my family is a Steemit family…that’s where I laid hold of Steemit. With the help of my siblings—parents—I could sign up. And now, I’m going to enjoy it or about to…

Observations so far
Steemit is a great community with great people who understand the fact of working smart. I’m inspired seeing some folks working smart and I try to do the same. This time around, no knowledge is a waste. I learn things—I write more—type more—read more—laugh more; I even meet new friends. I learn from them, they learn from me. Is it not good?

My contribution to Steemit
I have a dream. And the dream is to contribute to Steemit. It’s just that simple. For now, I keep portraying to Steemians historical concepts—ideas on poetry—prose—facts about religion—life—kids facts about parenting, etc. I really can do this with your support.

Conclusion
I thank everybody on steemit, all steemians, thanks for your smart minds, for lightening up that passion to write in me, I really appreciate it. I expect and hope that you all will love what I have for you. Again, I appreciate for your compassionate disposition and kind gesture. Special thanks @tony-duke for bringing me to this great platform and I promise to work smart and add more value to this platform.
