It is with great joy in my heart that I want to share with the amazing members of this wonderful steemit community that I AM A MILLIONAIRE! Someone  might say, did I just hear her say millionaire? Yes millionaiare by my country's standard. I checked my steemit account balance this evening. What did I see? $10,184. 

Now $10,184 * 360 NGN =3,666,240  going by the current exchange rate Yes, 3.6 cool million naira. 

I could easily have kept my mouth shut and not reveal it to anyone, although nothing is a secret on the blockchain. However, the main reason for writing this post is  for the sake of  others who are still in doubt of the fact that STEEMIT IS CHANGING LIVES FOR THE BETTER. 

A PART OF MY STORY

Everyone has a story, I have mine. I am a Nigerian woman, who graduated from college /university in 1999. About a year after graduation, in the year 2000, I was mobilized and recruited into the compulsory one year national youth service corps (NYSC) program.  

At the NYSC orientation camp in Kubwa-Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in July 2000

With fellow National Association of Catholic Corp (NACC) members (3rd to the left in my corp member attire), Abuja chapter at St. John Paul II  Papal ground, Abuja.

After serving my country for one year and 'passing out' of the NYSC program in July 2001, the search for job began. This search lasted for years. I'm glad now that I faced that challenge then, because it made me look inwards in order to understand my strengths better and look for other opportunities to serve humanity, which I did and I'm still doing. Visit my website for a summary of my profile and the organisation which I'm building.

In 2001, I got a private job with a company, ALFMATIN VENTURES, Abuja that use to sell Nigerian telecommunications limited (NITEL) scratch cards. Alfmatin put  a little over 1,000,000 NGN into that business. We use to buy 1 million naira scratch cards daily from NITEL, with a discount of 200,000 naira. The market was very good then as we sold all scratch cards with a profit of 100,000 naira, making a total of 300,000 naira daily. I was ALFMATIN's secretary, cleaner, messenger as his only employee and earned 15,000 naira for all the job. Please bear with me for the long story. I counted 1 million naira cash every day, money that was not mine. I started asking myself and my creator, WHEN WILL I COUNT MY OWN MILLIONS? 

Two months before I left Nigeria in 2010, after completing my master of science (M.Sc) degree in Medical Biochemistry, from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), I got my very first regular job as a Biology tutor in Shallom Academy, Nsukka, Enugu State of Nigeria. I earned 15,000 naira/month, because it's a private institution. Tutors in state and federal  high schools earn 3-4 times more. 

Fast forward to 2012. I got an 'enviable job' with the Embassy of Nigeria, Belgrade-Serbia in October, 2012, where I earned  8,400 euros/year. I was barely able to save 100 euros/month, had very little time for my studies, which is the primary reason why I'm in Serbia. When I had had enough of all the threats and harassment from both management staff and one fellow local staff, an agent of  the Charge D'Affaires a.i., I threw in the towel and honorably resigned in September, 2016. 

 

Thank goodness for family support. My family members have been very supportive since I resigned and I am grateful to them for that. I am the kind of woman who always want to be financially independent. My mum raised me like that & my husband can attest to that fact. Meanwhile, I started managing 2 facebook fan pages ;one dedicated to health matters (in my field of public health practice), the other dedicated to crptocurrency matters. I also manage a facebook group, similar to my facebook health page.Then came one blessed day on the 17th of March, 2017 (6 months after my resignation from the Embassy), while I was surfing the internet, I stumbled unto STEEMIT website. After reading what is written on the landing page of the website, I decided to sign up immediately. My first steemit post  was submitted on the 18th of March, 2017. Today, 2.5 months later, my steemit account is worth $10,000.

OPEN SECRET ABOUT THIS SUM OF MONEY

Steem power (SP) is the open secret to how come about this kind of amount in my account. I have been powering up/accumulating steem power since I began my journey in steemit. Little by little power up every now and then. Thanks to one of my siblings. When he sends me money, I use it to quickly power up instead of spending it on things that are not of so much value. So I encourage you to always leave steem power in your account. The more steem power you have, the greater your rewards. Watch my video tutorial on how to power up steemit account using fiat. The process is the same when you want to power up using cryptocurrency. The only difference is that you skip the step of withdrawing money from your bank account. Use bitcoin, ether or bitshares to buy steem power  for your steemit account. Other ways to get steem power (SP) are first to earn steem and steem backed dollars (SBD) by writing  very good posts, curating , voting after which you can power up the steem.
