CONTEST WINNER + LAGOS STEEM MEETUP UPDATE
So I wrote some weeks back about a delegation contest and a possible Steem meetup in Lagos. My primary aim is to empower steemians within the African communities. I have experienced the power of delegations and how it is helping to building a better steem ecosystem. I take my cue from people like @adetorrent, @theycallmedan, and @nathanmars who in my view are the most important steemians on the steem ecosystem as they are strengthening communities and rewarding passionate individual. So I want to do the same thing. And in the month of March, I'm delegating a total of 740 steem to 2 individuals.
My contest winners
@peachyladiva (240 steem power delegation) and @paramimd (500 steem power delegation).
So @paramimd is my contest winner. He will have 500 steem power to use for one month. I choose him because he has been consistent on the steem blockchain.
I also have this new initiative where I make one minnow each month within the African communities with my steem power. This is part of my goal as I strive to become a dolphin. So for the next month, I will be delegating some steem to an individual with less than 500sp to make them minnows indefinitely. The only catch here is that they stay active and they can have my delegation for as long as a year. Once they are able to accumulate 500sp for themselves I will withdraw my delegations and find new steemians to help. So @peachyladiva you're the first beneficiary of this initiative. I see you're trying to get back into the game and I want to reward your passion and dedication. I hope once you become a minnow yourself you will do the same for other redfishes.
LAGOS STEEM MEETUP
This is scheduled for the 20th of March, 2019 in Surulere-Lagos. A small physical gathering of 10-15 steemians within my region. The aim is to build stronger communities on a micro level. Also, I will be having 3-2 nonsteemians partake as well with the aim of onboarding them.
Sponsors
@surfyogi from the wafrica community has promised to cover our lunch expenses on that day.
@newageinv has promised to support participants of this meetup with SBIs
I'm currently looking at getting branded steem t-shirts for the participates. I asked the guys at fundition and it's possible that I get funding for this small project, @hauptmann has also promised to help me out with that. I'm looking at 200-300 steem fund to achieve this. If I do not succeed then I will be powering down to fund this meetup and that might entail withdrawing my delegations for a week or two. So I'm making an open request to everyone, I need all the help I can get to make this possible.
List of possible attendees:
@josedisccus
@agbona
@peachyladiva
@mediahouseent
@Malifezswit (from twitter. I will be onboarding her this week)
@emybrown_ (from twitter as well)

Is it okay if I make a post to promote this? I want to say we contact @theycallmedan and @nathanmars @adetorrent and tell them about this, so that we can basically seek their thoughts we can seek @fundition too as well as @Oracle-d, what do you think?
It's not a bad idea. I'm kind of shy asking for help, especially given the scale of this project. It's not that big. But give it a shot though.

Well you're right, I'll just about do a little post promo and share on twitter and we will see how it goes.
Yeah. If this turns out to be a success then maybe we can do something bigger.
