STEEMIT UYO COMMUNITY AND IT’S ACTIVITIES SO FAR: A community heading to the moon!

in stach •  7 years ago 

Steemit is what I like to call a game-changer as it has created an avenue for interaction among individuals from different races, tribes and groups. It has given room for Inter-relationship among its users thereby connecting them together in unity, also effecting changes in the lives of its users, as well as aiding a stable economic structure for communities.

Steemit seems to have penetrated the vast populace of Africa and of course Nigeria isn’t left out on this. With the help of some communities like @debrecords @africaunchained @leadent360 in collaboration with SIN (Steemit in Nigeria), @stach etc, as well as the launching of the #Project20millionnaija campaign by @stach, reports have it steemit has been registered on the minds of a vast number of young Africans with due reference to Nigerians especially.

It’s the steemit virus and we are happy carriers

However, this post would be giving a report on the activities in the Uyo community, Nigeria. Uyo community, especially with the help of @Stach has registered about 200 users and some others who were made to join their own community. To this respect, the uyo community has organised a total of four meetups which would be subsequently outlined. The aim of these meetups was basically to unite the people of the community, to give some tips on what steemit is and what steemit has to offer as well as how to succeed on steemit. The meetups also didn’t fail to promote the #Project20millionnaija campaign, as the person with the highest invitee was given a reward. Thus, aiming to aid the achievement of the campaign.

Find below the details of the meetups that has been held in this community overtime.

MEET-UP 1

This meet up was the first meetup held in the community and was
scheduled to hold on Friday 18th August,2017 in fast-food joint located in this location. The meet-up registered an attendance of just two persons; @ifioklee and @Samstickkz. Initially, the meetup was planned by @samstickkz @darkerhorse and @evelyniroh, but was attended by @samstickkz and then newbie @ifioklee. Reports from this meetup states that these two had an hour to themselves discussing the following;

what steem blockchain is?
steemit: social network built on steem blockchain.
the core values of steemit.
where steemit gets its money from to pay users.

At the end of this meetup, both parties departed with @ifioklee keying to the dreams of the community and volunteered to get involved in every activity, thus helping the growth of the community.

The university currently has over 10,000 students and Steemit Uyo team plans to get 2000+ students to Steemit and make at least 500 of them frequent Steemit users.

However, both newbies and old members of the community attended this meet-up and made contributions in different ways. Through the course of the meet-up, Steemit-related topics were discussed, and the following were discussed:

From this meetup
• Of course, knowledge was shared and everyone who attended gained.
• Plans for the STACH hub was outlined and we tried to get a place immediately after the meet-up

MEET-UP 4:

This meetup was held on the 16th of December 2017. The Uyo Steemit community is said to be the fastest growing in Nigeria. The four meetups were themed the Xmas meetup.
This was to make Steemians of this community get in the groove of the season and to share the steemit love in the community they are domiciled.

RESULTS.

The meetup was success with an attendance of about 60 people. And these were the result
• About 10 new users registered same day.
• Hub location found
• Free giveaways for most active users, thereby encouraging hard work.

MINI-MEETUPS: Steemians for this community have actively participated the #project20millionnaija campaign as they have made sure the incorporate other young Nigerians into the Steemit community.

They have sought to encourage financial in societies even though they let the new converts understand that steemit doesn’t reward laziness, thus making these newbies understand that hard work pays and steemit frowns at laziness.

Consequently, there have been other individual meetups as would be shown with pictures below:
This is @xpressng’s group on WhatsApp where she put some enthusiastic youngsters who indicated interest in joining the community and she, with the assistance of @ifioklee groomed them and subsequently helped them create and account and of cos there’s are some very nice testimonies already. @ifioklee his way to make sure every youngster around him doesn’t lay at the mercy of the government to provide a job for them and even at the end of the day get paid with peanuts (very little amount money).
@ifioklee has be very diligent in his service to these people as they are the ones now getting people in and ding more better than some who hand been on the platform form quite some time. @vheobong @annieben @scarlett and others.

STEEM ACCELERATOR HUB (STACH) UYO:

Launch.jpg The idea of @stach is mastered minded by an individual @ejemai with a vision to help steemians, especially nigerians, grow on steemit.com. Given that the Steemit Uyo community is, allegedly, the fasting growing community, STACH and its crew decided to make payment for an Accelerator Hub that will provide Blockchain education, free WiFi and Electricity. As such, the steemit-uyo community has gotten its fair share of this goodness. The Steem Accelerator hub was launched in Uyo on the 20th January, 2017.
With an attendance of guest speakers from Lagos, Ibadan, Enugu, Ogun State etc. The speakers were @tojukaka @ewuoso @fisteganos @gbenga @nairadaddy @ destinysaid @eurogee @onos etc.
The hub launch was successful and has commenced activities immediately.

Stay tuned for subsequent updates from the community. Cheers! For more informations about these meet ups and Steem Accelerator Hub launch;
