OFFICIAL OPENING OF "STEEM ACCELERATOR HUB ~UYO"
It all started from a single phone call from @ejemai months ,as i mentioned yesterday here. I started steemit uyo community all alone. I got too lonely and thought maybe I should reach out to other people and get them onboard.
I started my reach out campaign and was able to get steemians from different parts of Nigeria and started a group with a friend called charles whose younger brother is @ewuosu . @ewuoso now runs the group @ewuosu with @amec and @sussan , the group is now known as steembess .
The group gave birth to a lot of steemians who are now heading several communities today , the most successful of them are @tojukaka and @misterakpan
After seeing how successful and matured steembess got, I had to start creating communities with steemians I could see and physically relate to. That led me to start creating a community now known as @steemit-uyo
The community started with just one person (me) and now we are over 300 with 254 active participants with over 100+ newbies being trained on the core values of steemit.
i think steemit uyo is the fastest growing and most active steemit community in nigeria as a whole.

Purpose of the Hub
The government has decided to forget their people who gave them power, people in uyo hardly get up to 6 hours of electricity in a whole week (really really sad), @stach is not only solving a problem, stach is doing what the government cannot do for her people. (vote stach for president....lol)
Not only will @stach provide free wifi and electricity, there will be spaces for steemains to run their businesses in the hub , so they can get other sources of income.
i want to say thank you to @destinysaid ,@gbenga @tojukaka @ewuosu @sussan @fisteganos @japfive for coming around to honor us with their presence.
and
Big thanks to @ejemai and @donkeypong (Technical adviser to @stach) and to @stellabelle, @surpassingoogle @donkeypong @infovore @gbenga @tojukaka @stephenkendal @jerrybanfield for supporting my community.
This shot was taken in church today.
When the Government forgets to provide us with light, this is what you get.
This is what steem is putting an end to.
yes, steem is giving us value
This is absolutely beautiful and lovely......
