Hey @mark52. I love your #introduceyourself post. You touched on alot of things that drive you as a person. Just looking at the length alone tells me that you have stuff to contribute here on this platform. I'm glad you are also in contact with someone like @michaelcj. He's a great guy so stay close to the @steemnaira community for more continued guidance.
Tha fact that you are a blogger naturally gives you an edge here. However, you have to put in the necessary work needed. Follow great people. Comment with valuable stuff. Connect and make friends. Curate amazing contents. Blog about original stuff no plagiarism. Be deep. Be fun. Smile and be happy.
As a newbie, try to worry less about SBD. Rather focus on creating value and making connections. I believe all other factors shall sort themselves out in due time.
If you have any problems at any time, feel free to message me. I'll help as much as I can. I have followed you because I think you may have something to say in this community. Pls don't disappoint us all. Remember we are Nigerians first and Africans 2nd. We must maintain our good name here and beyond.
Cheers bro!
