Welcome Omolola. I can totally relate with your narrative as I too was told about Steemit last year but totally ignored all of the information. Then some really bad stuff happened in Nov/Dec last year that led to the loss of all of my funds and then voila! I discovered Steemit!

Welcome aboard. You've got a great friend in Akintunde, do pay very close attention to his advice and let him mentor you on the way forward. Looking forward to reading from you.

Cheers!
