The Cameroon Steemit Njangi: a steem program to retain/reward steemians and power up @steem-cameroon to 100k SP

What is Njangi?

“Njangi” is a Cameroonian term for an institutional practice whereby individuals decide to come together usually to form a group that meets on a regular basis for the purpose of saving and/or raising money for the mutual benefit of all participants. It is an old African practice of money management that strives to economically empower her members. In French-speaking Cameroon, it’s known as “tontine”.

How Njangis work?

Njangis are mostly created based on trust and mutual support, with the principal objective being to economically empower each other.
Njangis could be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly and the regularity of such meetings is usually pre-determined at the beginning of the njangi
During the Njangi meetings, members make financial contributions which are then handed over to one member of the njangi group every meeting.
The amount of the financial contribution from members is pre-determined at the beginning of the njangi, and the beneficiary of the njangi may be pre-determined at the beginning of the njangi or determined during each njangi meeting. Njangi beneficiaries may be determined by ballot, requests or through an assessment of the problems at hand of the Njangi members.
At the end of a njangi session, all members do benefit from the njangi, and the amount benefited will be equal to the amount contributed by each member, without any excess or interest.
Summarily, a njangi could be viewed as a thrift practice that serves to informally provide financial benefits to its participants without the constraints or burden of the formal financial system. Njangi is not a financial institution like a bank and does not receive financial deposits from members of the public. Njangi is a practice that encourages economic and financial empowerment of her members and unlike a bank, there is no financial interest charges or profit making from Njangis.

Njangis in Cameroon

‘Njangi’ is an important binding force of the Cameroonian people, encouraging economic and social empowerment.
As long as anyone can remember, communities in Cameroon have had a history of networks or solidarity groups that facilitates the pooling together of financial resources that enable individual members of such groups to utilize such financial resources to fulfill their dreams. The traditional framework of these solidarity groups have existed within cultural associations. The practice of njangi has however evolved over the years and can now be seen among non-cultural groups, including other social organizations, Alumni, neighbors, etc.

Steemit Njangi

The idea of Steemit Njangi is inspired by the success of the Cameroonian njangi system. The way the Njangi is intended to function is not yet fully defined but for now, the concept is aimed at recruiting, retaining and empowering steemians to grow on the steem blockchain.
Besides creating high quality content and social networking, lots of Steemians are on the blockchain for the money and if we must keep them to be active on the blockchain, then we must derive diverse strategies for them to make money.

The raison d’être for starting the Cameroon Steemit Njangi

For some time now the Country Representatives and some Cameroonian Steem Pioneers have been working on some structural and strategic reforms for the Steem Cameroon Community. One of the tools as agreed by the team to be used to commit and power up the @steem-cameroon community account is the Cameroon Steemit Njangi. The raison d’être for starting the njangi are;

1. To power up the @steem-cameroon community account to 100k SP in less than 02 years. Each beneficiary of the Cameroon Steemit Njangi, will give 50% of their Njangi revenue to @steem-cameroon as part of their share capital for the 100k SP Power Up Project
2. To retain and reward Cameroonian steemians to Steemit by committing them to this 12 - 24 months initiative
3. To economically empower Cameroonian steemians
4. To support Cameroonian steemians and give them absolute exposure on the Steem blockchain via upvotes, comments and resteems i.e. to trend Cameroonian steemians' blogs.
5. To reach out to Cameroonian steemians with juicy upvotes
6. To build solidarity and a strong support system among Njangi steemians across the globe.

How the Cameroon Steemit Njangi is going to work

In a bid to realize her goals it was agreed that all @steem-cameroon members should follow the curation trail, delegate to @steem-cameroon and contribute 100Steem each for the powering up of @steem-cameroon to 100k SP in within a maximum duration of two years. The following simple steps have been put in place for the smooth functioning of the Cameroon Steemit Njangi/100k Power Up Program:

1. @steem-cameroon is giving out 100 shares of 1000 Steem each to Cameroonian steemians who are willing to invest in the @steem-cameroon community account. Shares are open to any Cameroonian Steemian willing to participate in the 100K SP Power Up Program
2. Shares can be claimed via the Cameroon Steemit Njangi or via direct purchase using local currency (CFAF) and paid to @steem-cameroon.
3. Cameroonian steemians can claim 1 or more shares depending on their ability to pay in the shares.

4. Cameroonian steemians who decide to claim shares via the Cameroon Steemit Njangi will;

• Contribute 1SBD every week on Sunday and give to one person who is referred to as the "Njangi Beneficiary". Njangi members shall forward their 1SBD to @steem-cameroon and then @steem-cameroon will forward 50% of the njangi funds to the Njangi Beneficiary and use the remaining 50% of the funds as the Njangi Beneficiary's share contribution for the 100k SP Power Up Program.
• The njangi beneficiary will then use the 50% of the Njangi funds received from @steem-cameroon for his/her personal use as detailed in the "Njangi Beneficiary Post"
• This implies, prior to benefiting the from the njangi, the Njangi Beneficiary must write a Njangi Beneficiary Post in which he/she will detail what he or she will do with the Njangi funds.
• The Njangi Beneficiary Post will receive comments, upvotes and resteems from all Njangi members to give the Njangi beneficiary absolute exposure. This means, if there are 40 Njangi members, the 40 members will leave 40 comments, 40 upovtes and 40 resteems on the Njangi Beneficiary Post(s) of the week so that it can trend.
• The Njangi beneficiary post will receive 100% upvotes from the country representatives @mr-greens, @saxopedia, @fombae and @njiatanga as well as a 100% upvote from @steem-cameroon. The post shall further be upvoted by @steemcurator04 and/or @booming. The post may also be lucky to get an upvote from @steemcurator01.
• Njangi members further agree to make monthly Steem Deposits so that by the end of the 12 months program, all Njangi members must have paid in at least 500 Steem to @steem-cameroon for the 100k SP Power Up Program.
• Njangi members will leave a minium of 3SBD caution to @steem-cameroon so that in case they are unable to raise 1SBD during the week, they can take 1 SBD from their caution and play the Njangi for the week.
