When I was much younger, my dad once told me that “engaging in a heated argument will lead to nothing good…!” I have experienced that on many occasions, and trust me, It didn't end well with me that day.
All my life, I have always been so careful not to be in such a situation, it’s not good for my mental health, and sometimes it doesn’t worth the time, besides, I have some roles here that require much of my time and thinking ability…I won’t go into details on that.
I am sure by now you understand why I don’t respond to comments that might initiate arguments…., I simply ignore them, life is more than that.
I didn’t intend to write this post or respond because it was a conversation between @steem4Nigeria and the steemit team, so instead, I was only following, reading, and observing the conversation.
In case you missed the conversation I am talking about here is a link to it…….👉convo
So I have decided to respond to the comment made by the steem4Nigeria team.
This might be a very long Post, I am sorry folks. And this is not to tarnish anybody’s image, It is just to remind users in the blog about certain things.

So, I will respond bit by bit to some of the points raised, I might skip some that are not relevant. let's get into business now...:
One of the names mentioned above #ubongudofot did not apply thus indicating no interest in handling that responsibility. However, we felt this will help him to even concentrate more on his project in @smilenigeria which he runs. - Steem4Nigeria Response.
I did not apply because I didn't see the need for a CR to apply for such a role again in their Country's Community Which they are questionable to, it's one of their duties to engage in the progress of their country. I bet you didn't know this can affect booming support in a country community, if not you wouldn't have thought of doing this.
I am not sure I have seen any country where CR apply for a role in their Indigenous country's Community before, maybe I have missed that, correct me if I'm wrong.
past efforts toward the development of the community remain requisite and adequate caution is taken to avoid bringing any rug-pulled project facilitator(s) closer to the healthy community. There is more to what the Steemit team has paid attention to.
A more explanation or more details on this might be very much appreciated by me even by the steemit team itself, so go ahead and tell the steemit team that thing they haven't paid attention to, I am sure they will appreciate...😁
@ubongudofot is one of the CRs in Nigeria but has not been helpful in any capacity in our dear community. From the day of onboarding till the time he was removed as the mod. We can not continue to have inactive mods because of steemit status while the community suffers.
Awesome!
In Nigeria, I have tried my best to help other steemians and I am still doing that, I don't like making noise about it, maybe you don't know..., But I guided most of them to come up with creative content that can be useful to others even outside the blog, do me a favor and check how their blog looks like now. Also, ask them if I have ever told them to suggest any user to whom I can actually extend my assistance...
I gave them those niches, I encouraged them to do it weekly. And I am glad that I have been able to make that little contribution :
@adylinah - who post a Series of Unique and Amazing Recipes Collections and today she is in her 19th edition...
@eliany who post Fetus development stages ( health), and she did it till today she is on her 21st edition..now she has started a new series called Healthy living series #1|Know about baby colic and how to manage it
@goodybest who post The African kitchen show..... and contest called "DIY"...
@lhorgic who post Graphic Design made Simple...
@kay-owobia who posts The teens team..
@ruthjoe who just started a new series of "Movie Highlight"...
And I am still Watching to help more users, and may I ask you, where do all these users post these series?
I support some interesting content according to my power through upvotes, at least I still remember that portion of my SP was delegated for such purposes.
One more thing...., I think I still have a delegation there..., It's small, but It's important.
Secondly, his continued promotion of smilenigeria in the community with flagrant abuse of the community rules of engagement is unnecessary. The management and alleged illicit handling of that project are what we won't want to be extended to the steem4nigeria community and hence do not find him fit to join the crew for now.
I can tell you, this speech is out of jealousy 😂, a strong one for that matter nothing else. But maybe just to clarify, I will take you down a memory lane of what you refer to as alleged illicit handling of that project has actually been accomplished since creation.(Over one year now)
First of all, I was appointed by the @worldsmile team a year ago due to my diligent activities in supporting some charities that were going on in Indonesia, Philipines, and Venezuela...., they didn't force me to, I supported it myself through my publications because I know what it means to be in need.
The world smile created a charity account called @smilenigeria which was approved by the steemit team and I was appointed to take care of the account. you can read that 👉here and here.
And Just for your Information, I am not the only person that has access to the @smilenigeria account, two other people have access to It....., I only make updates and public transactions when necessary.

Check the address, you are free to go to that school to confirm if those kids actually receive those educational materials... and check very well if you know some of those users on that post..., maybe It's fake...😂
Second Project [April 1st, 2022]
 | Post: The Second Donation Of Educational Activities is 100% Done in Nigeria |

Just before I post the third Project, I will like to remind you of a little story that you have forgotten so soon...
The third project which was solar was actually a gift to me from the Steemit team, It was installed where I live in my house, Of course, It was a gift from SC01 to me but I change the scope so that other people in my neighborhood can also benefit and they are still benefiting till this moment, come and charge your phone If you want. It wasn't hidden Information, I wrote about it.
Check the conversation thread between me and the steemit team on this post 👉Here
Third Project [3rd July, 2022]
 | Post: Steem Solar PV Is Finally A reality In Nigeria, Thank you For The Supports |
|---|
After some time of usage, the capacity was no longer enough to accommodate more devices because It was a rainy season, back then I was using just one battery....., when I wrote feedback on how the solar has been running for the past months after installation, the steemit team also supported so that I can go for an upgrade and what I got then was One battery and two solar panes. You can read about it here 👉Steem Solar PV upgrade Installed, Next Solar PV Project in a bit!!
Fourth Project [Introduced four months ago, still in donation stage]
 | Post: Is it time for another solar Project in Nigeria? |
|---|
In case you are wondering where It will be Installed, I mentioned it here in this post below:👇👇
 | Post: Inspection / Meeting with School authority at the Steem Solar location |
|---|
At least most of you know that school in Uyo, It's not hidden, maybe you could walk down to that school to find out if I actually visited there and what I told them..., once you get there, please help me tell them that we are still on fundraising state and because you don't believe on this project, that is why It is still delaying..😁
And one more thing, I have purchased some solar components as is clearly stated here 👇👇
 | Post: First Part of solar PV component just arrived...!!! |
|---|
So far, that's what the rug-pulled projects according to you have achieved😊. Smilenigeria projects are not for one place for Nigeria, it is actually supposed to go around the states only when there is a need! But how will that be accomplished when there are not enough funds?
By the way, I do updates on the progress every week, feel free to check my blog and the @smilenigeria account for transparency.

Gosh, dear Ub, I don't know whether to cry or laugh out loud right now!
Am I glad that we do not have to deal with such crap in our (admittedly very small) community! From the beginning it was clear to us that we prefer to do without all "comforts" like booming support or similar, than to argue about received or not received rewards, to badmouth others out of envy, to track down and denounce corrupt and cheating users or to become corrupt ourselves and to suck up to some "curators", self-appointed administrators or supposedly better placed "representatives" (who are often busy hiding a lot).
Honestly, it is difficult for an outsider to understand what is going on "with you". I probably understood at most half of it, but that alone is enough to ask: How ridiculous does one or the other Steemian (who supposedly only acts for the good of the platform - I'm laughing my ass off) actually want to make himself?
A little bit I know you personally. And so I come to the shot that YOU really don't need to justify yourself here (too bad about all the time and energy you put into this long text...)!
At the risk of perhaps seeming unfair to others, YOU are the most loyal and integrity Nigerian I "know"!

Thank you very much for your response. It is sad that situations like this comes up. I felt it would be nice to mention some of those achievements, unfortunately some among them have been brainwashed and they will know about this for the first time through this post.
I don't like doing this though....but for reference sake.., it's good to.

Nice update 👍, I really appreciate the fact that you are listened to your dad and live by his advice, it helps you stay out of trouble and concentrate in your life.
Proverbs 14:30 says "A calm heart gives life to the body, But jealousy is rottenness to the bones. 31 The one who defrauds the lowly one" Therefore Jealousy is never a good thing (the root of all hatred) and as such it is a practice that should be avoided, I hate it too.
If every Nigerians want to be sincere by giving reply to this response done by steem4nigeria it will be a total mess, I know how many Nigerians that are in my inbox since yesterday, I know the calls I've received too.
Personally I was shocked to see it too as one of the old MOD that didn't reapply reasons based known to me I'm shocked to see the envisaged lapses they mentioned that was done by the old MODs hmmm... which causes the reapplication but they didn't reach out to any of us to make some needed correction or adjustment but came to say it in the public, it's shameful to see it, I felt it deep so much in my heart especially when remembering those behind the scene of the response. I and many other Nigerians were waiting for their reply on goodybest first response but didn't see it. 🤷🤷
Well, that aside it's never an issue this is steemit a social media platform, so many actions need wisdom.
You have really been a source of encouragement to many on the blog for example your interviews and other regular activities you introduce to the blog, which has been useful to some users I learned a lot from your post, accept some corrections you made on my post, and I was motivated by your encouragement.
I do support Smilenigeria project being hopeful that it will definitely make Nigerians smile as we await the raising of funds to speed up the project. I will say keep up your good work, keep going with your activities.
Remember, A calm heart gives life to the body
Stay calm
Stay focus
Wishing you Jah's continues blessings
Love you💕💕
❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰

Friend - I am astonished... That you should justify yourself. And you do! About the fact that your compatriots, who are currently facing very serious, life-deciding offline problems, are creating even more of them here. These structures and the sense of entitlement to the ultimate directive competence do not fit in with my impression of the African way of life and esprit. I wonder a little more... ;-)) Hugs from Germany!
Freund - ich staune... Darüber, daß Du Dich rechtfertigen sollst. Und es tust! Darüber, daß Deine Landsleute, die gerade vor ganz erheblichen, lebensentscheidenden offline-Problemen stehen, sich hier noch mehr davon basteln. Diese Strukturen und das Anspruchsdenken auf die ultimative Richtlinienkompetenz passen nicht zu meinem Eindruck von afrikanischer Lebensart und Esprit. Ich staune noch ein bißchen weiter... ;-)) Umarmung aus Deutschland!

It is a good idea to explained everything in such post, to get a small summary and highlight the main points. I did not know that you are also a part of Steem4nigeria team and it was a pity to find that despite of coming from one country people still distance because of such little issues.
Your activity is the projects are very well known and you present them openly in your posts, in my opinion you are the best Representative of Nigerian community.

Hola Hola
No soy quien para meterme en disputas ajenas, tampoco sé qué tanto sucedió detrás del telón entre ustedes. Ustedes saben la verdad de lo que sucede y está bien
Lo que si está a la vista es que para acusar a alguien debe haber pruebas y por lo que yo pude ver esa persona que de por sí tiene lo que en mi país le dicen "rabo de paja", no tiene pruebas de abusos realizados por ti. En cambio tú si nos muestras un reporte de todo lo que has hecho
A esto se le suma que el trabajo de CR no es simplemente estar encerrado en una comunidad, hay que hacer promoción a la plataforma y tú lo haz hecho. Haz realizado Live en Instagram, también haz realizado entrevistas a usuarios destacados de la plataforma, algunos nisiquiera hablan tu idioma materno y todo eso es aplaudible.
Si tú no haz cometido abusos ten la paz de que no tienes la conciencia sucia.
De resto solo te puedo decir "uno no dónde no lo quieren simplemente no prosperan"
Te deseo mucho éxito

Jesus nos aconseja buscar primero el reino y la justicia de Dios y él resto de las cosas vendrán luego, y también nos asegura que debemos tener cuidado con el amor al dinero ya que este puede ser la raíz de muchas cosas malas por obtenerlo, y aquí no se ve mas que una vil envidia sobre el progreso de alguien trabajador.
Y vendrán cosas peores dice la biblia .......
Amigo ubo en todo lo que he podido observar de ti he sabido de tus esfuerzos y dedicación, espero que Jehová te siga bendiciendo y protegiendo de los lobos disfrazados de oveja (o lobas) el que hace lo correcto a los ojos de Jehová tendrá su bendición mientras que el que solo anda tras una máscara cometiendo infracciones tendrá que rendir cuenta y solo puedo decir (que JEHOVÁ tenga misericordia de esa persona).
Esperamos seguir disfrutando de tus proyectos amigo mío 😊

Ubongudofot the simple truth is that you were wrongly accused!

But all I know is This too will passed, so let's be calm, we are honest users and the truth must, yes must always prevail!

Thank you goodybest😊. Well, I wasn't bothered because I knew it was out of Jealousy unfortunately.
Normally I don't reply to context like that, I've had such experiences many times....but I just ignored because it doesn't worth my time.
And the problems we are already facing in Nigeria offline due to cash scarcity is enough to distract me from replying to such comment from steem4nigeria's team.
I only write this because of those ones that they have succeeded in brainwashing....
And they never see me coming..
Sure, you are an honest user ! Your little effort is highly appreciated, keep it going, stay focus.

My blog has been exceptional since then. I have gained a good reputation through those guidelines. I must say it is because of those guidelines that is why I am where I am today.
I have been able to grow my STEEM POWER from around 200 to 1,200 as it stands now and still growing with a reputation growing from 64 to 68. I must say your guidelines have been the power behind my success on the blockchain.
I will forever be grateful for the advice.

Your dad had given you one of the best advices a good father would.
Baseless arguments are of no use.
Steemit is an open platform where your activities and progress are plainly seen by everyone.
Yours is no different, your stellar contributions, dedication and commitments to assigned projects are not hidden.
It sounds very awkward to speak of negligence on your part when your goal has been geared towards helping your communities and others grow of which I and other steemians are living testimonies.
In my view, I suggest that your blog be subject to review to erase this misconception and maintain your reputation in the blog.

A lot have really been said here...I really don't know what to say, but my utmost wish and prayer has been that all of these is resolved very soon.
Without sentiment am going to respond to this post....of course I was mentioned.
Of a truth my notable encounter with @ubongudofot was in @steem4nigeria, I remember he was attracted to one particular contest entry I made back then which has to do with we talking about the idea behind our usernames.
He seems to have eyes for quality blog and content. I believe it's the reason he asked me what I was good at during one of our little talk....I responded Graphic Design and then he asked me to give it a shot as it's good to have a niche as a content creator.
I ventured into it since it was my hobby and it also something I've attempted before on the platform...Hearing it from him was the needed push to go for it and am grateful for the idea and advice.
I also reciprocated the kind gesture by supporting the smilenigeria charity project.

As long as there is money/profit to be made, there will always be someone who gets jealous of others.
It is enough that only one person starts spreading rumors and makes others believe it. I know what this means because I have been attacked more than once on this platform and even by witnesses in the top 20 and here it also started with a witness who brought several of the other witnesses with them and they shut me out of the witness channel without warning.
I'm still a top 20 witness, but I'm still banned.
So I totally understand what you are going through and how you feel now.
But we know what you stand for and the good work you do on the platform.
You have my full support, don't let others influence you

Thank you very much sir for your contribution and support, I really appreciate it.
You are right. And It's quite unfortunate that jealousy plays a major role in this very topic. A Jealous person or Jealous group can easily find people of their type to form a Jealous Crew...they think alike, and act alike, and will suffer the same consequences. I have a lot of tasks here as you know..., unfortunately, I do not have time for them.
I am so sorry that you also went through this type of situation. It's actually a bad situation to face.
Thank you s much!
