I am sure that the Nigerians that you have met through Steemit will succeed in growing their population, there are so many young Nigerians with a lot of talent and skill, who struggle to make a living online because they are often banned from other online opportunities because of a lot of scams coming from Nigeria. Seems to be a rule of just blacklisting everybody even the innocent. So hopefully they succeed.
I also agree with your views are decentralisation, if everything was controlled by steem then it would no longer be decentralised.
They are definitely a strong and tight knit community! I do see a bit of prejudice against Nigerians because of the bad example that scammers have set. It will take a lot of effort to get past that hurdle. But I agree that they will succeed in growing their population on here! Thanks for your input!
