The time has come to start developing the African community. As we all know, when something new comes into Africa it has the ability to become huge.
We have many users from Africa, but no community till now. This project/community development will be focused on building the African community, not just networking everyone together, but teaching and helping all those along. Thus making a stronger helpful community and making steemit a better place for all.
Why are Communities Important?
It is quite simple: alone it is harder to learn and develop, but with the help of others. To illustrate this point: many new users join steemit, whether through a friend or some other means, they have not yet experienced how steemit works. They are told you can post whatever they want? So they do so, sadly they don't know any better and get flagged. Thus their steemit experience is negative and they leave.
Communities are there to help guild and support everyone in it, if this person above was in the community he/she would of easily been able to be lead right, had all their questions answered and would become an asset to the community and steemit.
Communities are a great thing as all those who are in them are different, they have different skills and information they can offer to others. A community that works together is strong and can do anything.
This Community
This community is strictly for any and all steemians that come from Africa. As this is just the start we will need to get all those involved to help find, grow and contribute to this community. I, with some others, will be providing some valuable information and tips for all those new to steemit in the community.
We will be leading and developing this community to make each users experience better. The object is to get as many active users on steemit to better steemit as well as strengthen and support all those who are in the community.
This community will be based on steemit chat (https://steemit.chat) where we will be answering any questions and helping all those inside it with the support they need. We ask you to tell all your friends and anyone you know that is from Africa to join this community and help each other out.

By just writing "@moneniko", you summoned the blockchain info bot:
64.326% of steemers have lower reputation than moneniko.
84.096% of steemers signed up later than moneniko (2016.07.29 at 10:00:03).
34.393 was the exact reputation of moneniko 4 days ago (update Fridays).
1 steemers are followed by both of you.
13 steemers are following both of you.
Hope that info helps, evesick. You can ask @qed for more details. Take care!
good job
What is this? But thanks anyway. I never ask for his info/reputation.
I would love to see an african community form on steemit. It can be a big help for people there and it would be interesting to see what kind of content they can create!
great post, i hope you can build a community that benefits the people. God bless you
This is a great idea and even though I am not from Africa, I am in full support of this initiative. I think its a great way to prepare for the community feature that will be released to Steemit eventually.

Thanks, @dragonslayer109 - I'm totally mystified why I never saw this.
Hello Brother,
I believe in your cause but I also know that there can never truly be a United Africa without the aid and input of the entire African diaspora, at home and abroad. I am what is known as African-American, I would call myself an Aboriginal of this land. Therefore, let us unite in the established ideal of Pan-Africanism.
So, I would like to extend my appreciation for your cause with a cause of my own that may help save our world from food deserts using the block chain: https://steemit.com/smartcash/@khuziyad/help-save-the-world-with-smartcash Please help me gain momentum on this. Please visit my page and up vote this idea up. Thank you! :) Ashe
