The problem
Steemit's population is still below 500,000 with less than 3% of the total population from Nigeria.
Nigeria with a large market of over 182.2 million people as at 2015 according to this, out of which about 15% are unemployed.
The percentage pegs about 14 million people or more as unemployed.

Currently there is a fluctuation in the price of steem and SBD. With the fluctuating price of steem and SBD, an influx of people who actively trade and invest in steem could help boost the price of steem, according to a chat I had with @pfunk on steemit.chat
The solution
With the following highlighted problems, the following solutions become necessary.
An annual Steemit In Nigeria conference becomes necessary to hijack and possibly monopolize the influence of steemit and steem in the country ranked as the 7th globally in terms of internet usage

Source.The event will be hosted for free for participants with the support of steemit and the organizers.
Mass awareness campaigns will be done about steem and steemit to bring in more users and traders who might be unable to attend the event.
Creation of employment through blogging activities on steemit, which in turn generates traffic.
Proper steps will be taken for the mass adoption of steem and steemit in Nigeria.
New members will be given a lecture on the basics of steemit to make integration into the system easier.
How will you prove the project was a success?
Initial registration of about 500-2,000 participants from Nigeria, within the first two weeks will be considered a success.
Subsequent registration of about 2,000-10,000 within the next three months of the event, will be considered a success.
Further mass adoption of steemit to a population volume of 10,000-100,000 in seven months will be considered a success.
If these are fulfilled, then the project will be considered a success.
Corrections, advice and suggestions are warmly welcomed.
Lots of love from @ehiboss
thoughts they say flies around..had similar idea for our youths here...feel free to let me know in any way i can be a part of this..resteemed,voted and followed.

Thanks for helping out your fellow brother. I personally have introduced over 40 people to this platform in less than two months and I don't see the need to say it out. The community will feel the impact over time. I also roll with kus-knee, fisteganos and a host of other veteran Nigerian, African and lots of top steemians, I see them as amazing people. Perhaps you could stay tuned to my blog this sunday and read my interview with good-karma (the creator of the e steem app most steemians use), and redhens, a friend of mine on steemit....Also try not to miss out on other top notch steemians I have lined up for interviews. I would be delighted to have you over at y blog. Thank you

So I checked out your blog , turns out in the last 14 days, you have only resteemed about 4 people and only one of the names you mentioned above was listed just once, please clarify how that happened?

hello, you're the first person i'll see on here with a kinda arrogant feel to helping people out. You make it sound like you were singularly responsible for the success of the post in question. Yeah cool you resteemed it but you definitely weren't the only one to do that. And you story of not giving up on him... well it sounds so much like fiction.
Going through your page, I'll like to point out that there's no "hunger" that we need help ending over here so please be done with your stereotypes. If you want to assist people as they navigate the steemit waters, do so quietly like hundreds of others who make far greater impacts than you have.
Also, @kus-knee is not African and does not stay in "Africa". And I stay in NIGERIA and not Africa.
Thanks

I believe it's a dream come true, all it needed is action, even steemers in different states can also form a publicity forum to grow steemit in their states.
Thanks a lot @ehiboss

Interesting, this is the second Nigerian post I'm seeing today , I think first things first is to harmonize the community within steemit first, we need to know ourselves more and form like a support mechanism for eachother. There is a Whatsapp group put together by @maryfavour I hope that takes us a long way.
Steemit has huge potentials in Nigeria. We can make this work guys !!
