You get more out of Hive if you help build things. I do these lists and have organised some meetups. @livinguktaiwan has worked on projects like @pinmapple. Just posting to earn for yourself is not enough. You should talk to other Nigerians to see what you can do to make Hive more successful.
I used to run a Nigerian community (stemng, a sub community of stemsocial) in the days of steemit. We did meetups and we had long-term plans. However, the economic situation of the country has made many to venture into something else that takes up a bulk of their time.
None of the members of the community is currently active. It is easier to build things when your worries are beyond looking for where your next meal will come from. I sometimes become frustrated and angry with myself when powering down my stake is the only option I have left to sort out real-life expenses. But hey, at least, I've got something to resort to.
Nigeria has a really big crypto community and bitcoin whales. I had plans to take hive to them at some point after I had toured many universities around here. I can go on and on actually.
It sounds like you have done more than most. I do know what it is like to try and keep people active here. Hundreds of Brits are inactive. I do okay on Hive, but it's also fun for me and that matters.
I get that people will have more pressing things to worry about. Hive just offers opportunities that we can take if we want.
I am frustrated by the corporate platforms and it amazes me that more crypto fans don't come here.
The fact that we are still means there's still hope. I'm not giving up. All it could take could be just for one person to discover this platform. I'm optimistic.
I think what is driving that is the ongoing Vibes web3 music competition. I see a couple of Nigerians who are into music keying in. I hope they stick around after when the competition is over.
I think some of them do, but there's always ways to improve.
Perhaps you can be more clear about "contribution"?

The fact that people are signing up in Nigeria is positive. I don't know what is driving that, but it could be worth someone investigating.

We can leverage our userbase to bring Hive's attention to the movers and shakers in the Nigerian cryptosphere.
Very correct. I attended one at Ibadan then. Things will still take shape
