I looked, I saw, and I cried- a revolution through blockchain technology - a letter to the world, change or be changed!

hello everyone!

Its simply amazing, seeing how steemit is connecting, changing and restructuring both lives, and economic structures, long put in place by the governments of our time.

For the first time in history, a way presents itself for us to be more, do more, achieve more, help out more.

Blockchain is indeed a blessing and anyone who says otherwise is an anti-change agent.

The world must evolve, the world must seek new ways to move forward.

Technological advancement and innovation has always been one sure way of moving forward, and today we see it all around us.

I have experienced and continue to experience the change. I have seen it all in my country, and I cry, not tears of sadness, but of joy.

Disruptiveness!

In actuality, what we are currently witnessing is a revolution! A movement, something that you all have to be a part of!

I understand that to those coming in now, this may seem like a cash cow scheme, take your money and go, but I say to you, we do not need your type.

A change in mentality is in order and it starts from us.

The way I see things, steemit.inc itself needs to be moved to Nigeria, yeah, moved to Nigeria because this is where they will make the most out of their technology.

A disruptive technology is once which has a lasting impact on the location and indeed the world over.

The creation of the wheel, the creation of automobiles, the invention of computer chips, the creation of the mobile phone, the creation of the internet, and now, blockchain technology and steemit.

Every last one of those technology, barring of cause, the last two, has been a technology that has disrupted the world over. Many people tried to fight them, there were people against the creation of cars, people against the creation of the internet, but today, they are a part of out everyday lives!

In the future, 5 years from now, 10 years from now, people will look back and ask, "how the hell did yall survive without blockchain"?

Building and creating

Just like any other technological revolution, there will be those who utilise it for their good, and those who utilized it for other purposes.

The biggest internet companies today all came into limelight with the creation of the mobile phone, computer and internet.

Name it, google, apple, microsoft, IBM, samsung, htc, etc etc

It is left for you, to create and leave your mark on this new land that has formed.

The difference between now and then is that of orientation!

While these companies raked in major cash for themselves while growing rapidly, the new era is one of decentralization, where the cash flows freely, and there is no bottom or up, only oneness.

I have written, and will continue to write, the government structures we have in place now have been turned into a business organisation sort of buhala!

Rather than rule the people, governments have essentially become a way to sign deals and further grow personal businesses, all while throwing crumbs to the masses.

The painful aspect is that we the masses take the crumbs and feel its ok!

Just like that one scene in madmax fury road, where the villian opens the water tank for a minute or two, closes it and tells the people that too much water is bad and addictive.

Power these days have been corrupted worldwide.

there is no more democracy in the world!

The movement in nigeria and africa

To those who may not know, there are multiple movements in nigeria, blockchain movements, movements of change!

Believe it or not, Africa is heading to become the biggest blockchain continent in the next 10 years, and its not just a pipe dream.

From the SIN crew to the project-atlas movement, there is a chance for change in all direction.

I run multiple projects along side other partners on steemit.

This year along, i have traveled to 5 states, seeing the change that needs to be implimented and making plans for that.

The steemit campus invasion is set to be the biggest most interesting running event on steemit within nigeria, spanning the whole of the year!

The collaboration with @debrecords @africaunchained @leadent360 @stach for a new nationwide record label is one of my biggest projects

The @africaunchained account is an account that helps africans grow, adapt to the change we are currently preaching, and there we support ourselves by growing our very own whale account.

The @leadent360 crew and the SIN(steemit in nigeria) crew is responsible for one of the biggest event of 2017 on steemit, the steemit in nigeria conference and afterparty, which trended all through the steemit community.
We are preparing for another event, a bigger better one, as well as a road event thats going to be unlike anything ever seen before on steemit.

@stach is poised to become even bigger with the creation of the stach uyo hub, of which I will be present.

Finally, i leave with this;

let the change begin

Let the world reverbate and quake at our ingenuity.

africa arise.

Thanks!

@destinysaid that was well said. Blockchain has changed technology in a very positive way. Its commendable the way steemit is growing in Nigeria and the whole of Africa and I know steemit will soon be known like facebook

I really agree with you, lets us join hands to bring as many Youths as possible to steemit to reduce the rate of crime in Nigeria, Africa and indeed the whole world. Well done @destinysaid. God will help us to get there.

Kudos to you boss @destinysaid, the rate at which we nigerians embrace technology is overwhelming, however, blockchain as stated above is quite composite, i suggest along with the movements, blockchain awakening or tutorials and seminars should be organized so that steemit and any othe blockchain inspored program is not seen as a cashcow program as you called it.

This is such an amazing post! It was nice meeting you yesterday and wouldn't dispute less that you are an introvert. Your looks gave you away.

Well, about this post, a revolution would help us more. Change is continuous but it should begin with a revolution. The blockchain technology is worth the hustle.

@destinysaid, the post is quite informative blockchain have improve in many aspect and i like your contribution you let me know that change is not a miracle, but the gradual process.

I must commend your passion to make life better through steemit @destinysaid. I believe in you and I believe in your reach through steemit. I will be readily available for steemit Uniben.

I salute your work sir

Amazing bro,keep up the good work.

This post is a nice start to the morning, it gave me the pump I needed.
It's unfortunate that our government is terrible at their job, however, it is fortunate that the blockchain and steemit have come.
People don't have to eat the crumbs anymore, you can get your own full loaf here on steemit and then some.
Can't wait for the campus invasion! Let's do this!

@Destinysaid how can I get to meet you guys in uyo

I totally agree with you "its not a take the money and run" platform, this is serious business
