Broke the recruitment jinx😁

This is a picture that succeed my thinking, since the past years that I have been on the platform, promotion want an issue but recruitment wasn't successful, I tried several ways but only a few came back and those few, even refuse to sign up because of the truth I speak about the platform, most of them want an easy way of making money but me I don't promote Steemit with all its glories, I promote steem in a comprehensive way such that I tell them the workload to achieve your vision or mission on the platform.

But this user was a different case, it was surprising when he still stood firm after introducing him to the platform and we even went far by signing up and also writing his acheivemnt post.

It was a thing of joy for me because in my environment I am the only steemian and I had tried my best to recruit both young and adults but all wasn't a success. But this particular user was different and I felt a wholesome of joy fill up in me, It is one achievement/accomplishment I had wished to achieve for a very long time and it came to reality with this user, that is why this picture means a lot to me.

Eid festival

On previous days before May 2, I had fasted for 30 days, it was the month of Ramadan, a month of holiness, as custom to Islamic practices, in every month of Ramadan, it is compulsory to fast as it is one of the pillars of Islam, in the same way, it is compulsory to observe the daily solat, such importance is of Ramadan.

A month were all Muslims in the world observe fast in the belief as it is written in the Holy Quran that all of our sins will be washed away, it is a month of forgiveness, a month of holiness, a month of prayer, a month of sacrifice, a month of charity, all the good deed in this world are done in the special month, as such I did a few charity by giving the less privilege what I can afford, I had shared drink, fruits and did zakat to our cleric on the day of eid, the picture represents a day which I have been cleansed, a day which I had to turn a new leaf, a new beginning with no sin, a day that begins a new journey/chapter of my life, a day I believe all of my needs and want has been gratified by God, as I had done what he had requested of me, this picture was taken on the day of the festival.

charity through farm work

The reason why I included this picture was that I have a hand in the achievement of farming which was owned by someone, it began last year December when I was an intermediate between the buyer and seller, the deal was a success and the buyer acquired 3 acres of land with the purpose of farming, I was available for this man from the genesis to the revelation of this farm.

We started with bush clearing, making ridges, planting yam, maize, and lastly cassava, I was available throughout these activities with no expectation of payment of services or supervising, so 2 months ago, I visited the farm and I was happy to see how good the crops have yield which made me happy because I was of great help to him and the workers at the farm and till now the man is still grateful as he compensates me with some of the maizes when harvested. It meant a lot to me to help someone achieve a goal he set for himself, in a year, the cassava will be ready for harvest as the corn has been harvested.

Greetings and blessings
