In every community, there are people who render selfless service and contribute immensely to ensure that success is recorded in any community they find themselves without asking for anything in return.
We have such people in Steemians Arena who devote their time to contribute to our project, which is building a community that supports minnow and help them grow.
In order to encourage our members and boost their morale, we decided to come up with a weekly program where we pick one member who has been helpful in our community and talk about him or her.
Today, we are going to meet one of our members who is worthy of recognition due to his selfless service in

Sometime in January this year I was doing some research on cryptocurrency faucets and came across steemit again, this time as a thread on nairaland written by doyinisaac, I also found another authored by . These threads made me understand what steemit was and gave me the push needed to register an account.

8. If you were to change something about steemit, what would that be?
Answer: The flagging system. I don't think it's totally fair for people to flag others without giving reasons why. Adding such a feature to steemit would prevent the flag abuse that we see from some users on steemit.

11. What advice do you have for those who come to steemit with ill-convinced mentality that they want to come and pack money?
Answer: Steemit is not a get rich quick scheme, if you think it is you're going to get frustrated and quit. Steemit requires patience and consistency. I've found out that being part of a community helps. I don't think I would have come this far without the support of and other communities I've joined.
Don't be discouraged when your post payout isn't cooperating. Keep making quality posts, keep making quality comments, keep making quality contributions to the communities you've joined. Do these things consistently and you'll build enough momentum to reach the point where you can make money on steemit while you sleep.
