I have been rewarded handsomely, and many times poorly. I have seen many projects started since i have joined steemit, i started one too with my brother after my half a year on steemit which is
.
But i wanted to do something extra-ordinary. I am not a Programmer nor a developer but i believe in my curiousity which had gotten me in troubles and has blessed me.
Twice i have been challenged by Steemians to try bring an investor in Nigeria on steemit. Today i had an appointment with someone but i am hurting as i update you all.
My Failed Attempt
If you are looking for pictures and vidoes for proof of life to ascertain, sorry but i am going to disappoint you because this is not a victory post. I am sore sad as i write this to seek more solace and more technical approach/advice from you all.
and
which i am fond of and i find great pleasure in communicating with had challenged my inner being. I naturally a very shy man but when it comes to business i always find the extra inner strenght.
I have been told to think of doing more for steemit and then steemit will take care of me on the longer run. And recently, just yesterday to be precise; our darling asked me if there was any major investor from Nigeria and i was ashamed because not many Nigerian Steem Veterans are here and we were;
Too engrossed in publicity than bringing in Investors from our country!
Meeting Mallam Zaidiq the 1300 BTC owner:
So today; after much time on call with an old banker friend yesterday evening, we met at lunch time Nigerian time with some "Big Gun Beaureu De Change".
A Beaureu De Change is a mega Business of trading all foriegn currencies: buying and selling both internationally and or locally.
Believe me this man has a whooping 1300 Bitcoins in his wallet, i saw it with my very own eyes!
Mallam Zaidiq by name was a very friendly and glamorous Rich man and i was thrilled this man gave me audience. I guess my banker friend must have earned his trust in their past transactions.
My friend who is also a Crypto-Novice as a i once was kneq about Bitcoins a bit and no more than that.
So when i started ranting about another cousin of Bitcoin- Steem to him couple of months ago, he was somehow interested but never signed up on Steemit till date due to the Murderous Nature of Banking Jobs in my country.
Today's disappointment was simply beacuse our dear mallam wants a speedy returns in like months which i could not guarantee, and because he was busy comparing Steem price to Bitcoin when i showed him the CoinMarket price for today.
Then he had to hurry back to the domestic airport to get back to the FCT Abuja capitol of Nigeria. He asked if my friend and i could come over there which i couldn't ascertain because i can not handle another "NO" for an answer soon.
My short and first Steemit disappointment, forgive me all but i tried and i will keep trying and keep looking for more opportunities to spread the Steem Gospel in my Country Nigeria!
One love beautiful Steemians!
