About the Bigwaves Curation Team

Bigwaves is a project aimed at discovering and rewarding original content creators from Nigeria. The awesome steemit leaders behind this project are, @donkeypong and @hanshotfirst. Read more about the Bigwaves project here.

@ehiboss, @fisteganos, @gbenga, @destinysaid and @ogoowinner are the Nigerian curating team working for the growth of this community. So far, this team have been doing a marvelous work. ( I have been working in my own capacity despite being sick for a while. Fully recovered now). 

Since the inception of this project, over 500 contents from Nigerian authors have been rewarded. With the fast growth of steemit users from this region, we now have a lot of issues to handle. 

The Bigwaves project stands strong against every practice that is against the ethics of the steemit community. We fight against spam, scam, plagiarism, image theft, and other forms of cyber crimes. 

If you like what we are doing, and would like to support in anyway, please contact @donkeypong on steemit.chat

An Apology The Steemit Community 

Recently, I've been seeing posts from other steemit users complaining about some Nigerian spammers, those who plagiarize other people's contents and those involved in identity theft. 

I don't want to pretend like we don't know that Nigeria already has a bad name from internet scam. However, I want to use this opportunity to apologize to the entire steemit community on behalf of the good Nigerians here. I'm fully aware of the fact that it's not only Nigerians that are involved in such awful practices here, but I'm doing this because I see a lot of people are already mentioning Nigeria, and I'll like to save the good ones among us from this bad image. 

I plead with the Steemit community to realize that, we are Nigerians, we not are scammers, Nigerians are not spammers. A few bad eggs among us are rubbishing our entire image here. Please don't generalize their actions on the entire community. We'll fish out this bad eggs among us, and deal with them appropriately.

We have a lot of Nigerians who are working tirelessly to contribute to the growth of this network too. In my own capacity, I have ran a project that distributed Steem to minnows. @ehiboss and I have a project currently running for the growth of steemit. @maryfavour, @gbenga, @fisteganos, @eurogee, @ejemai, @destinysaid and a lot of others are Nigerians promoting this network. I'm working on a marketing project that will be unveiled this week. A few bad eggs should not give us a bad name or wrong image here.

Warning to all of you spoiling the Nigerian image here.

I'm a Nigerian. I'm not a spammer. I see my activities here as an investment that I have to protect. I'll not allow anybody destroy what I've achieved here through consistent hardwork. 

I really want to commend @ehiboss for being the one who started correcting you from associating yourselves with inappropriate activities  here. After speaking with him today, I have made up my mind to plead with you people to stop involving yourselves with anything that will not make all of us proud.

I have placed a warning on some of your accounts. If you are involved in any of those negative activities, please stop it for your own good. I invite all Nigerians to join us in cleansing our dear community.

Please if you find any Nigerian involved in scam, plagiarism or spamming, don't hesitate to report that person to @ehiboss, @gbenga, @destinysaid, @fisteganos or @ogoowinner.

Together we shall make steemit great.
