Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 4 - Application for Steem4Nigeria Community

---

Steem4Nigeria's Purpose

Steemit is ever-growing and changing lives giving the privilege to learn, earn and increase their stake on-chain to become more independent with various initiatives set up by the team. New users also troop into Steemit to contribute to the growth of the platform, at the time our community was created, there were only individual communities created by Nigerians, the community was birthed by the idea of having a community that portrays the image of an official home for Nigerians on Steemit.

We created Steem4Nigeria to serve as the official home for Nigerians, that connects and supports people from this part of the world. As such, we can have these ones gather together under one roof and not continue being dispersed, they now have a place of their own. The community serves as the official community for Steemians from Nigeria to connect with each other, also, we accommodate our foreign friends too.

The History of our Community

At the moment of putting down this piece, the community is around half a year (6.2 Months) old, created on the 12th day of February 2022. We made the first community introduction post on 15th of February 2022. From the inception of the creation, the activities of the community have been controlled by the founding members, also acting as the moderators.

_{Our Introduction Post}

When the community was about two months old, we deem it fit to launch recruitment for moderators that would be in charge of commenting and vetting, and in essence, performing curation on articles made in the community and on the 11th of April 2022, an announcement of two new moderators in the community was made. At the moment, we have 4 moderators already, the Admins also are always available to join them for the moderator role in the community.

We intended to bring in moderators from another part of the world into our team, unfortunately, no application was received from any yet. In the nearest future, we would be looking forward to recruiting more moderators (including our friends of different nationalities). Interaction with articles made in the community is being done by moderators and admins also assist in the process, as such we have full capacity to handle moderation in the community.

Community's Curation Account

The creation of our community was accompanied by the creation of an official account, @steem4nigeria. @steem4nigeria has since its inception been our main curation account with delegations from the founding members. The account has a total of 19,725 SP at the time of writing this article.

The account has been used to support articles published in the community, in this way, we show our users that we appreciate their works and thereby encourage them to do more.

The founding members have been able to delegate a total of 9,000 SP to the community's official account so far.

Newbies tend to break certain rules especially if their recruiters have not been able to properly guide them, we have created a group for the newbies where they are properly guided from time to time to ensure they produce quality content on the platform.

We have appreciable number of users actively posting in our community.


The entire team members have been dedicated to the growth of the community, as such quality content is shared in the community which would definitely trigger engagements in the upcoming contest.
