Y'ello dear kids and parents of steemit, congratulations for being part of the steemit engagement challenge, we are all ll doing well so I think we really deserve the offer. I welcome you guys today to read my post and also comment on it. I thank @udyliciouz for hosting this contest in this community, is been long she hosted a contest like this. I will quickly talk about my view on census at you guys convenience.

How would you define census.

Census inmy own understanding, can be defined as the overall counting of people in a particular nation or society, to acquire the basic details in managing the nation successfully. Getting this data is very important Incase of international businesses or affairs because it will really give the nation more room to have the knowledge of the present number of people that are alive in their nation.

Have you ever been counted? When? Explain your experience if any.

Yes I have, I remembered the day I was outside with playing with my siblings and some few people came to my house and my father was also outside at the moment, they asked him few questions and also the number of people in our compound, he told them that they are only 8 people living in the compound and these people were;

My parents (2)
My siblings (3)
Our tenant and his wife (2)
Myself (1)
2+3+2+1 = 8

What do you think are the importance of carrying out census? State at list 5.

I was able to know the importance of census through what my teacher taught me in school 1 year ago and they are;

• It provides a specific data for the nation.

• It helps in making things (goods) available to the general public.

• It helps the government to know the number of schools and hospitals the nation needs.

• It helps the government to know the number of people they are accommodating in the nation as a whole.

• It helps to know the number of voices that's expected from the masses.

Is there any problems associated with census? Briefly explain if any.

Yes I think there's a problem associated with census because am very sure that no census has been perfect before since we are all humans and nobody is perfect. The people counting the number of individuals in a compound are very prone to mistakes as they might count one person twice in different locations and this will give the government a very wrong data because lots of people will definitely be counted twice.

Do you think census can be carried out in steemit?

Yes I do think so because each community knows the number of active steemians they have and I think it should be done by community admins and they will give reports to the steemit team. It might be difficult in that of the newcomers community because people are joining steemit everyday.

If it possible to carry out census in steemit, how would you do it?

Just like I said, each community admins will just count only the number of active steemians in their community and they will give the report to the steemit team, at the end of the day the steemit team will then openly announce the result of the process. It should be done online because we can't carrying it out offline. These admins will make an announcement that each steemian should stick to a community for 3 days while the census will be carried out do that they won't be counted in two communities.

Do you suggest census be carried out in steemit platform?

Yes I do suggest this because it will help the steemit team to know the number of the overall active steemians in the platform so that they can be able to know how they can support steemians in the platform. Most steemians are crying that they aren't noticed in the platform and this might be happening because of the hashtags they use on their post. If I must confess, hashtags will be the easiest ways to carryout census in the steemit platform. Thanks for reading and i invite @visionaer3003, @cub1 and @nahela to participate in this contest.
