It was great to be a part of the crew that stormed Government Secondary School, Mararaba at Nasarawa state.
@trendyevents giving a highly educative and captivating talk
It's the first steemit meet-up ever organized in this state and it was done along with a humanitarian project aimed at assisting the less privileged.
The crew was led by @eugenecr7. @sunny4glow, @trendyevents and @farida were there making 4 steemians present at the event and it was awesome. The warm welcome given us by the school authorities was alarming and the joy that filled the hearts of the less privileged is better felt or seen than explained.
A large number of students to whom educational materials were distributed
The zeal and eagerness in the teachers to be a part of steemit was much more than expected.

Here are the highlights of what I spoke on;
The steemblog chain and how to interact on it. Steam as a more valuable investment than bitcoin, etherium and others.
I made them understand that
Steemit is a blockchain-based social media platform where anyone can earn rewards by posting relevant content, curating quality content by upvoting and by holding Steem based currencies in a vest fund, which generates interest.
There are three main currencies in Steemit: Steem, Steem Power (SP) and Steem Backed Dollars (SBD).
How To Build Your Audience and interact on the steemit blockchain
The idea here is
- To gain more followers.
- To get more eyeballs on your content.
Because that's how you reap more rewards. The more your followers, the more your rewards.
To get followers, you need to be original, creative and consistent.
To interact, make sure you invite and make reasonable comments on other people's content. You also need to reply every comment made on your post.
Do not beg for followers, let your work speak for you and followers who are interested in you because of your value, will come naturally. The 'follow me - I follow you method of some other social media shouldn't apply on steemit.
I let them know that plagiarism isn't allowed on steemit as cheetah will not hesitate to deal ruthlessly with defaulters. Spamming is a 'no, no' on this platform because it is a disgausting act that will make you loose more than you can imagine.
After the talk was a light refreshment while those interested wrote down their details

Wow, this is inspiring, I wish more of this will keep happening in Nigeria. We need people who will help us build the future of our children. Thumps up👍
That's it Victoria. These children are the leaders of tomorrow. We must do all we can to ensure that child education is encouraged in Nigeria and the world at large.
@demotruk truly deserves our vote as a steemit witness. He is very consistent in helping minnows and humanitarian project. God bless you. I have voted him as a witness.
Thank you very much our dear vibrant team leader.
