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

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.
