I have decided to help improve steem value by joining others to promote steemit in Nigeria
Hi everyone, today I will be talking about the new decision I have made for the improvement of Steem value.
I recently celebrated my 500+ steemit milestone and my entry into the second half on this awesome platform.
Though I made a lot of mistakes on my first 10 posts and also violated rules that steem eco-system frowns at, I was still fortunate enough to get support from Nigeria curators who guided me on how this platform really works.
But I am so happy that i took corrections and also supported other minnows who where going astray(wrong path) now I am happy we are all progressing.
The more time I spend on steemit reading people's write-up, relating with creative minds, I get inspired and motivated by the things I see here, My perception about life in general changed.
Why I decided to promote steem
To whom is much given, much is being expected.
I am not a whale, neither am I a dolphin. My financial state of living has improved, I have freely received more than I have given and also think that others out there need to benefit from this platform too. I strongly feel is high time to spread this goodness.
I really do appreciate other Nigerian steemians like @ehiboss, @gbenga @fisteganos @destinysaid @ejemai @tojukaka @steem-lagos and others promoting steem.
I may not have gotten to the stage and attained recognition like them but I am grateful with my little achievement and with all joy I will join them on this great selfless service to humanity.
@africaunchained I love this name.
My Starting point.
With full support of @ejemai 's project tagged #project20millionnaija, I will love to organize a Steem Meetup for Northern Nigerians. I'll be leaving Kaduna very soon but before then, there will be a meetup in two locations.
- Steem meetup for students - Cooperative College
- Steem meetup for Nysc Corpers - Kaduna htq
After passing out from Nysc, my next target will be Abuja (University of Abuja) before I go back to Delta state where my family resides.
Publicity tool
I stumbled upon a media shop while making enquiries for the meetup venues...
I saw a sound box which has inbuilt battery and wireless mic. It can also be used to play songs.
I believe that having this gadget will save me a lot expenses trying to provide light and sound system for my meetup venue. It's also very mobile to carry. What do you think about it? If it's cool, I'll raise funds via post rewards.
It's been fun telling people about steem platform during this period and hope they will all come to the venue
More details and updates will be posted on my blog
But After bringing more people to steemit, What next?

Challenges on steem platform
My first month on steemit, I wondered why most people didn't really know about steemit because it has been in existence for more than a year now. But with time, I got to understand that steemit is "comprehensively broad" to understand. Yes I am using those words because I need to express the way I feel about this platform.
There is never a day I don't learn on steemit,my reading habits has greatly improved, communication skill is being worked upon and I never knew anything about crypto trading or mining.
I was just an entertainer getting ready for my next event.
This is a great community and It should be the best social media platform on earth.
But why does the value of Steem drop? , why do 80% of newbies stop steeming after two week?
The answer is so simple and the truth should be said.
Steemit and other interface is a platform to mine steem by engaging in social activities.
So the value of Steem price will reduce if users find the system complicated or takes them time to understand
Only a few steemian take out time to teach others via different community groups on Telegram, whatsapp and discord
Note: you can't effectively take out time teaching others while other whales concentrate on ripping steem reward pool. That aside. Lolz
What's the solution? 😨
- Publicity
I think we should focus more on publicity
Yes, spreading the good new of what steemit has to offer, not just the financial rewards but a platform where we all benefit from in all ramifications of life.
Publicity is the key..
Even Coca cola, Facebook and other popular brands does publicity till date
This will attract more users, investors, traders and the demand on steem will increase which will positively increase the price of steem
2.Curation
What then happens when new users on steem platform do not get value for their creative contents? They simply give up.
I think there should be more curation projects like @curie @minnowsupport and @ocd because they can't certainly reach everyone everyday, and when they don't reach these new users, they give up.
Can top Witnesses have their own curation projects?
If yes, testimonies on steemit will go along way in helping steem publicity.
Sharing the love is what we all need to improve steem value
At this early stage, Promoting steem should be our primary aim.
So what are you all waiting for? It's time to spread the gospel
Support the movement today.

I enjoyed reading this and it’s a worthy “first post of the day” for me. You spoke some truths I can really relate with especially on the improvements you’ve noticed in your life and how you learn new stuff daily.
I’m also excited you’ve decided to go on promoting Steem; it’s usually the next step after taking time to understand it 😊 so you’ve come of age? Lol.
I wish you success bro!
Lolz. Yes boss. I have come of age. I am happy you understand my plight. Thanks for stopping bye.
Absolutely bloody fantastic @michaelcj - what you are doing is truly admirable!!!! Super Awesome indeed! We need more people doing things like this worldwide!!!!
Thank you @jaynie. It's a selfless service we all should engage in doing to help this platform grow. Thanks for stopping by.
Nice work brorher.. resteemed this post more to promote😍
Amazing work you are doing @michaelcj. Am really impressed with your passion towards bringing more persons in and sustaining the platform. Over here in uyo, all steemians are on deck working towards the expansion of the active membership of steemit especially in sync with @stach and the vision of #20million nigeria initiative into this platform.

More power to your elbow sir. You definitely would have all needed support for the logistics and more for your meetup in kaduna.
You are really doing a lot to make this community better bro.
I saw well done again.
Thank Bro. We all need to make this platform a better place
This is a good initiative and we are riding with you on this one. Weldone!
Thank you for your endorsement.
Nice work bro. I am planning a steemit meetup in Abuja, we can link up anytime you are around Abuja.
Oooh perfect. Kindly send a Dm on steemit.chat or discord with my username. Thanks and hope to chat with you soon
Yah i agree with you spreading the love will help steem value.
That's true. Thanks for understanding
That was an intelligent observation from you, steemit needs more publicity and more curating teams. Curie and the others are trying but there is just not enough curating groups yet. We need more to encourage newbies. The publicity that spreads the true ideology of steemit is needed too, many join thinking they'd be scooping money off the blockchain which is a misconception. I like every steemit growth project, keep the hope alive. Keep steeming.
I am happy you fully understand my plight about the challenges we face on steem eco-system. I know all hands are not equal, but we really need to share the love. thanks for stopping by
It is a scenario that plays out everyday, you only need to be around for a week to see that. Keep steeming.
Hey michaelcj, you did justice with this article. We really have to take the future of Steemit and Steem into our own hands. Reasons include that;
Your initiative of giving a promo talk @ kaduna, Abuja etcz is a welcome development. Welldone boss.
Cheers!
