Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 65: What if I didn't know Steemit?

Life will not be easy at all because life without Steemit is something like life without family.

✅Before you met Steemit, what digital or physical work did you base your income on?

Before Steemit came into my life, my physical work is that I was doing my computer business work, typing and designing calendars, and doing wedding cards for people who wanted to do weddings.

I was even doing work for school and also for senior officers in my barracks, I was working with officers in my barracks by cooking food and also taking good care of their houses and also washing their clothes, and more just to enable my work to grow and enable me to buy fuel for my work.

✅Have you been the victim of online scams? Is Steemit a breakthrough?

Yes, I have been a victim of online scams many times. I even used my feeding month for one month, and it went to where it didn't come back again.

I remember when I was in school in the first semester, my friend in Abuja was advertising an online work that, you can send us 20k, and you will receive 40k immediately. He also sent screenshots of fake people lying that they have benefited from this online work.

I was very depressed about this kind of big money because back then, I had big dreams, dreams that, if I was not careful, would lead me to different things.

So I entered into this online business with my feeding money for that month, and I sent the money to the link and account number sent for me; after the transactions, I called them to ask whether they had seen the money, and they said yes, and I tell them I am expecting the 40k.

I waited and waited and waited, but nothing came; for that month, I suffered like a job in the bible until I powered up and removed something from Steemit, and it served as my breakthrough for that month.

Would you rather write on Steemit for a month at your house than work under pressure for someone?

Yes because you will have peace of mind and also nothing will be boring you because you are the owner of yourself.

Working under someone for a month with all the pressure and also insults, then he will remove 15k as salary for you; if you are very serious about Steemit, you can work more than 15k a month with peace of mind.

In anything, I do things that can't give me peace of mind. I normally don't do that kind of work because peace of mind is my number one priority, and I don't joke with it at all.

✅Has Steemit helped you be a little more financially independent than you were? If so or not, how and why? Explain the reasons

Steemit is a lifesaver platform. I normally say it each time I tell my friends about this great platform Steemit.

Steemit has really been my saver in many things, and it also has made me stop begging people for money or even asking anyone for money;; this platform has really made me feel like I am a government worker because, at the end of the month, I normally do my power up.

This platform has really covered my head because last month, my mom started using Lens because she has an eye problem; through my earnings on Steemit, I was able to use it for her.

This platform has really helped me when I was in school. Sometimes, my house will be empty without foodstuffs, but I will struggle to remove something from this platform and help out myself.

This platform, Steemit, has really been my saver because I hardly do something because I see everything as scams, and I never believed I would be where I am now when I started, I was not serious at all until this platform gave me food when I was in school.

✅Imagine your life without Steemit and tell us in 3 sentences as the final part of your post.

Life without the Steemit platform is boring at all, I feel I am one of the chosen ones who knows about this platform Steemit.
God bless the Steemit team.

Finally, I wish to invite my friends @Paholags @solaymann, and @josepha @kuzboy to also join this contest.
