People illustrations by StorysetBefore I go into the details of this post, I will ask for a favour: kindly tag as many Nigerians on Hive as possible in the comment section of this post. I want to reach as many people as possible.
Also if you don’t enjoy reading as much as you enjoy posting, kindly view this post on peaked and listen to the audio version. This information is important, especially for the new Nigerians on the Hive blockchain.
Who should read this post?
If you are a Nigerian on Hive this post concerns you. If you're a Nigerian creator on Hive that is getting little to no exposure or upvote, you have to read this post. If you an OG in the space and you want to help your community in any capacity you should read this post as well.
So for those of you who do not know I am, my name is Nonso. I am a content creator on Hive. I have been on this blockchain since 2018. There are very few Nigerians on this platform who have been here this long, so there is probably something I am doing right (I guess)
Kindly vote for the hivenaija author of the week here
I know Nigerians love a good success story so I would share mine. In 2020, I made my first million (naira) on Hive. In 2021 I bought my first car courtesy Hive. Even in a bearish market like the one we are currently having, I have made a million naira. I am not trying to brag because these accomplishments are so insignificant when compared to the successes of other Nigerians in this space. I am telling you this, so you know it is very possible to achieve your financial goal by creating content about the things you care about and also supporting the hive ecosystem.
There are quite a number of Nigerians on Hive. We are probably the 3rd-4th largest community on Hive. Behind most successful communities on Hive are active Nigerian members. However, there isnt much to show for it. Most Nigerian creators are struggling, they probably do not have the right orientation about Hive and this is the problem I hope to solve, hence my journey as a community leader.
I do hate the term ‘leader’ because puts me on a pedestal. Rather than being called a leader I consider myself a community guide. I am here to provide you with relevant information and tips on how to go about your hive journey. So many Nigerians have benefited from my knowledge and have gone on to achieve amazing things on the chain even surpassing me in stake. So there is an 80% chance that if you listen to me you would end up a millionaire (in naira) by the next bull market. So here is what I have to tell you: Hivenaija is the community for you.
The thing about the Nigerian community is that we do not have structure, hence there are many individual successes and no collective successes. The issue with this is that we cannot propagate wealth or even our knowledge in our community and that makes whatever success we achieve individually unsustainable and limit our influence on the chain. It also makes our individual journey as we struggle to find support in other communities.
The reality is most Nigerians would rather support thriving communities than theirs because, at the end of the day, it is all about personal interest (to them). This is how many of us were raised, we cannot see the world past our purview, hence the sorry state of our nation which indirectly or directly impacts our lives. So individualism is a cancer in the long-run.
For instance, last week I was competing for 100,000 Hivepower delegations for the hivenaija community and it was just unfortunate that some Nigerians were trying to sabotage that by cheating and spying on my group. This is the delegation that would benefit more than 10 persons, including the persons cheating and not even me because I dont upvote my post with community stake. I can casually earn 2-3 dollars doing that but I don’t because I believe I can make that elsewhere. So these are the issues I want to address.
I understand it is tough out there and many people are just in survival mode. However, we can have a different approach to things that is sustainable and can propagate even after we leave this space. This is the legacy I want to leave on Hive and I want to invite everyone who this message resonates with to join the Hivenaija community.
There is so much the Hivenaija community has in the pipeline for Nigerians, but we need the numbers; we need people to participate in the building process. The reality is that this community is going to grow. I am working on a few partnerships. @deraaa (our current community leader) is doing amazingly well in trying to organise our community and also sourcing for new opportunities. So please do not miss out because in the long or short run, it is far more profitable to be active in this community than posting randomly and hoping for upvotes or visibility.
New entrants are coming into this space, so it is important that you take position and leverage the opportunities that already exist. In the next 6 months, the narrative would change and I won’t be the one asking you to join or participate so why not do that now? Engage in our weekly prompts. I plan to bring back the live sessions again by July. If we play our cards right we can be one of the strongest communities on Hive.
If this message resonates with you kindly reblog and tag other Nigerians in this space. Thank you.
If you have questions or suggestions, kindly leave them in the comment section.

And all I can say is... Well done @nonsowrites. You have always inspired me from day one of my joining this community.
Thanks for the tag @deraaa and Welldone, keeping the fort.
Thank you Guide @nonsowrites.
I appreciate your mission most of the Nigerians I know were tagged already. But I didn't sawa @peterale.
!hiqvote
Thank you so much for the mention and notification. I really appreciate.
Well Done, Quekery. Tell the team to leave a spot for Hive Naija on the next HIQ Magazine's publication 😋
Well Done, Bro.
I know how things work when you are involved and I'm looking forward to how this adventure will unfold. I believe there will be more follow-up updates to this.
I will be on the lookout for that.
As far as our words and action align, everything will go well.
Thank you bro. I want to give this community thing another shot again. We were doing fine but the bear market kinda ruined things and most of our best hands have left. But there is still potential in this space.
I see the potentials too because I've tasted best of both (bull & bear) experience.
Thanks for taking up this Community project, again.

You no tag me ba
Hey Nonso, I never knew you are one of the HiveNaija community leader, so good that I read this today. Almost all the issues you mentioned in your post resonate with me. Though I am new to Hive, I have experience in leading in the capacity that you operating now. The Nigerian problem of individualism is like Cancer that has eaten deeper into the fiber of the root of the heart.
While on read.cash blogging site, I tried to do something to help Nigerian writers on the platform by creating a WhatsApp group where we can collaborate, share links and support each other. I didn't do that for myself because I was already a top writer on the platform making something really good. But, the Nigerian individualism problem would not allow the group to function as planned, hence I stopped pushing my ideas to the people and allowed them do as they want. The rest is history.
I have never posted into the HiveNaija community once though I joined the community on my first day on Hive. I think I made an enquiry post in the community but not even a single person responded to me. Since then I never take a second look into the community.
I am so much inspired by your success story here, and as a goal chaser myself, I hope to have a great success story for my Hive journey in the near future. I will start posting into the community from now on, and I hope the leaders would not be wearing of my presence.
Thank you for calling out on your fellow country-men, God bless you richly.
I have been actually waiting for your post ever since I saw you comment on Jose’s post some time ago, you said you will be dropping something relating to us soon and boom I found this on your blog, I am happy I found this post first I guess, my first encounter with you is something I will never forget, you actually made me understand something on my first day on leothreads and thanks to that piece of advice, I was able to do a bit better, thanks…
Actually I have been a long term member of the hive naija community and always participating in weekly prompts, won several rewards and followed the curation trail because I believe hive naija is actually doing its best to keep the community and its members growing and I truly commend that effort but i literally went off for a while and completely neglected the community but now I am back fully and to be honest I really concur to everything you said in this post and I am willing to be amongst those who will help the community grow and now the prodigal son is back once again, with my very best effort I will do my best to keep the community growing…
Thanks for this enlightening post, it was really helpful…
Thanks man I'm glad you shared this on the tag's.
🔥❤️❤️
Thank you very much for supporting in your own way. Even I fell off at some point. The bear market is taking a toll on many people however, I still believe there is a lot we can do to support each other in our little way. So thank you once more.
I am happy you woke many of us from slumber, this is something great bro, thanks too
Interesting. This is a very nice piece of information to we, Nigerians here. Anyway since I joined this community I have only written one content. I am back now( because our own is our own). We can't neglect our community to build others. You're right@nonsowrites this is a call for all Nigerians to join in the building process of OUR COMMUNITY. Iam calling all my friends; @focusnow @Ijelady @luchyl @marajah @Sammyhive @emeajek it's time to build our community together..
...
Lol you guys should take over son I can rest small 🥲
Nevertheless. Dera need all the help she can get. Let's make the community active again.
Thanks for this information, i really appreciate your drive towards ensuring the betterment of all Nigerians. You are doing a great job and i consider myself a newbie and i will be looking to learn all i can from you along the way.
Thank you. You are not doing badly yourself. Let's support the each other. We have the numbers. There is so much we can achieve here if we really put in the work.
I agree bro. weldone
You got me Boss, you have the leadership spirit... I learnt and realized that while we were on threads.
I believe we can do it and even better if we just have a few who are bent on moving this community forward.
I'd recommend a rebrand for the old ways of growing the community and a place we all connect as Nigerians to move things forward.
Maybe I'll come to your dm for an idea or two that I may have 🙂
Sure. I am open to ideas and suggestions. Anything to move things forward.
Thank you for stopping by

Thank you for the mention
Welcome back from Jupiter. Your not late at all.
you're most welcome.
The way you reply fast...
Let me buckle my shoe and try again this week...I was doing that till I fell last week😄
Daalu ooo, Nonso. I will join in again if the community wants to move and I hope it won't be another abandoned project.
As long as I am here I will keep pushing. Na Una support I need. If we grow it benefits everyone. I really do want to see more Nigerians do better in this space
This is cool stuff Nonso, I have been admiring the Venezuelan and Indian communities for what that going on for them on Hive, I think Nigeria can do the same and even better without sounding like it is a completion.
The world out there has caused us to act in ways as our leaders do, sabotage, dubious with conniving ways, it will do our best interest to act transparently, after all, we are on a transparent blockchain, so there are rewards directly or indirectly for genuine actions.
As some know, I am a Nigerian but not residing in Nigerisn so am up for supporting the #hivenaija community.
I know and I see what you are doing. The things is if we have structure we can grow our influence on the chain which is the most important thing. I just hope more people key into this
And thank you for stopping by. We appreciate your support directly or indirectly
@cool08, @tozill, @debbyrose, @fexonice, @treasuree
you need to see this.
seen thanks for the tag
Oga Nonso. Well done sir.
It's a pity that this sis coming at such a time even though it is not totally bad.
Some of the things I wish that can be addressed first is that when everyone in the community are treated equally, then you will likely have received the support needed elsewhere. I feel that you came up with this idea because you felt some fellows who ought to be your kinsmen and support you did not do so.
I have been in the #hivenaija community for quite a while and have received little or no support whatsoever. The slogan ought to be have been Brother Helping Brother but the reverse has been the case
However, with this new uprising, I wish the status quo would change so that the support needed to thrive would come alive.
I wish that all Nigerians would come together and form the synergy that is needed to forge ahead.
I understand where you are coming from and you are right. We ought to support each other. I do so in my little way. There are many things I do in the background that most people don't know and I don't sing my praise.
However, I will also like to come from the angle not of not just thinking about what they community can do for you but what you can do for the community. For instance, I earn nothing from doing this. Absolutely nothing. After working here, I still have to support other projects I belong to. It is not an easy feat. However, I believe if we can grow the community to the point where it is support everyone who contributes meaningfully then we should. We should play the long game.
I see the vision and I hope I am selling it to everyone who has read this post. There is so much we can do. But we need to grow first
I am already in from the moment I read your post. It's just that some of us still feel that those Nigerians who have made it real big here are not supportive enough.
I have seen Pakistanis and other nations, like the Americans, help each other grow very fast and earn enough to make them want to belong to that community.
No body want to be in a place where they are not making any profitable progress.
Well, if that's what Nigerians are looking for then I don't think I can help them. My upvote would barely get anyone dollar. And I don't think there is any Nigerian on hive who can give you 1 dollar if he or she upvotes you. So this narrative about Nigerians not helping other Nigerians is false. There are very few people here that can say they've not benefited from my influence directly or indirectly.
Also lets think more about what we can do individually and collectively to help and not worry about what other people are not doing. If i was thinking that way i probably would not be here trying to rally people together. I benefit little to nothing from doing this but i do it anyways because i want to help in my little way.

@airhawk-project @kayceefresh @topworlds @botefarm @airhawk-exchange
Honestly, this is great..
The fact is I'm also to be blame because I haven't participated much in the hivenaija and that ends today. I want to be part of the success story and make things work. Though I don't know much naija people here probably that why I haven't been carried along that much.. But na here we dey and we go make sure say we rule this place.. Thanks for the post and encouragement.. You aren't just a community guide.. You are a leader too

If only Nigerians can come together and make this community grow but some prefer to struggle somewhere else.
Because behind every successful community on hive Nigerians are the most active users there but they just choose to ignore their own people
Let's be the change we want to see. If we all were individually looking out for each other irrespective of our stake size we all would be in a better position.
You are absolutely right
nice work you are doing, thank you so much for this selfless act
Don't mention...just doing my best to help. e no easy this point and many people need help (including myself)

Together we build the blockchain and ourselves
You're welcome
This is beautiful. I believe that together we can grow our communities and help other Hive members do better with their blog.
I'm sorry about the HP issue. I'm only just hearing of it. Hopefully, this post will help other Nigerians see the need for a collective effort.
Thanks for the tag @johnuko
Read through the 80 straight comments, I think my mind has been said, no need to add.
There's a truth and there's a fact and all has been addressed.
I do hope this work out well.
Great initiative.
I think we should all just start making delegations...@nonsowrites which account are we to make delegations to?
👉🏿👉🏿 @hive-naija
that's the account to delegate to...
