RE: THE URGENT NEED TO ESTABLISH A STEEMIT HEADQUATERS IN EACH COUNTRY :A RALLYING POINT FOR THE COMMON MAN :I AM PROSPECTING ON THE NEXT BIG EVOLUTION FOR STEEMIT SOCIAL MEDIA

in #promo-steem7 years ago (edited)

Nigeria is no different from Mexico, Venezula or India where it works (except for the corruption) where snakes supposedly eat money and corruption is at its highest. I see this request as such. Next you would need funds for rent, workers (workers that wont be paid for months but are hopeful).

There is a tendency to specialize is meaningless projects just to get the initial payments and live a flamboyant lifestyle. If you are unable to generate an income like others do by creating content that pays for your lifestyle. How do you expect to pay for this? or who would pay for this? Poorer nations than Nigeria (Nigeria is not poor) are making it work with less resources. You do not need a building to be constructive. I met people living of #Steemit just by their hard work, some from Nations more oppressive and for some having to learn English for the sake of reaching more people. Nigerians do not have this challenge. There is no shortcut to riches on the blockchain.
If you are bent on forcing old familiar ways of doing the new rather than embracing the new then your results would be the same as the old - failure.
Nigeria clearly has a failed/ sick government with processes that do not work. It has a reputation of not allowing freedom of people if they come too close to upsetting powers that be. Remember Dele Giwa? Wole Soyinka, Ogaga Ifowodo, Tai Solarin, Gani even Fela - imagine how different things would have been if they had a non localize platform to operate from. There would be no office raided, to shrine to raid and their messages would be well documented.

Ask yourself why should Nigeria be different? Why should the failure to take advantage of an opportunity be rewarded? the the concept has been proved to work every where else (including Nigeria). You may want to connect with Steemians in Nigeria and see how they have excelled without the building.

Hey @olusegun no wahala. I am just passionate about empowering people and not cooperations or governments. Steemit is making it possible. Let's not pass our "freedom" back to the others let take ownership.
