Dante is Here No fear
I won't bore you with anything unnecessary I'll shoot to the point.
How I met 
On the 28th of July, 2017 we met on steemit chat on the Nigerian Channel. We had a little chat in direct messaging telling me about a small community of newbie steemian trying to develop themselves to be something meaningful on steemit and also helping others and training them. He then asked if I was on whatsapp and gave me his number . Prior to this conversation I was never in any WhatsApp group and even if I was it would have been muted. So the next morning I gave it a shot
... story continues
As a young steemian not barely up to a month on the platform he was eager to contribute to steemit by powering up. What a drive and energy. It may look small however as at that time for people who can relate with NYSC in Nigeria especailly far away from home. Purchasing 10 steem is a big some of money for someone that earns less that $55 from the Federal government for serving his nation.
Inception of the Dream
My hommie CJ buzzed me. He said fam you know I am into entertainment and all. I want to bring into steemit. He had a dream. He needed a drive and some positivity and advice. I became Chuck Auckle to him as Teddy Daniels(shutter island 2010). The voice telling him everything will be okay

First we established the community name Steemnaira FAQ which is now on steemit
Then the idea of a steemit pageant
comic relief
A man with big dreams can only come up with a writing about Big dreams. This contest was not just a contest. It was a hidden message we all digested without knowing it as at then. It was laying the foundation of the dreams he had on the steem blockchain.
Dude was always focused on the goal. We talk about the steemit offline program. Planning strategies. Amateurs not with positive energy. This can be done. That was the only thing our time says.
And so the Journey Begins
Dreams birth dreams like an Onion.
@steemithelpinghands is an independent charity community on the steemblockchain. The community was founded by members of Steemnaira. It shows how CJ's dreams rubbed on his team members. Here is a video introduction of the community.
Meet the team
,
,
and
. Heroes without capes.
There's so much done to start putting out his milestones.
He did not fail to give out awards to the participants.
if i fail to mention that CJ had to power down almost all of his accumulated steempower which he had been powering up to more than 1000sp for the steemcamp event. Many empty promises of support. CJ had to borrow which he had to repay his debt. I'm not here to mention names however I am here to clear the disgusting notion and movement on steemit that
is a scam and a fraud. How dare you? Do you have no shame? It is sad to see that there is no love amongst us. CJ has been mocked and talked out into proceeding with the event. That there was no way he could pull it off. Yet he did.
The breakthrough
Have you seen a man diligent in his business. He will stand before kings...
This prinicple never fails. CJ applied this principle on steemit. Support, upvotes and steem donation from
and many others
Funny, CJ had the idea of seeking for supports. My silent way of telling him to just focus on the goal helped alot. Help came around without being spammer or beggar.
It may seem all easy but believe me the journey was mad. Cj has had to travel in terrible conditions going all over the country to promote steem and most especially change lives.
The Nightmare
A contestant of steemcamp sent me a message this morning. He asked if I had heard from CJ recently. I must admit I was scared and thought the worst had happend to him. I was depressed a little for a moment . Then he told me what happened. I was disgusted. Not because of the fight or misunderstanding but because of the fact that some people found it has an opportunity to discredit . I visited the whatapp group only to find out money was what cause the misunderstanding . What a shame?
CJ I will blame you and not blame you for proper management of the situation. I won't blame you because this is the first of this event. I know there will be a post mortem and lessons learnt.
Back to what I was saying... the misunderstanding was because of steem / SBD call it what you want. It is still money.
Apparently, every participant is to get something from the event winners and no losers. The steemblockchain way.
Hey guys, the show ended last night. Do you think will run away with the funds. I also blame the mode of communication about the funds to be given to all. The fight must have broken out because some party believed CJ is holding the funds for himself.(proper communication would have given the participants a definitedate or time when the funds will be allocated. In summary, there was a fight, some persons recorded it and sent the video to a sponsor of the event to claim CJ is a scam.
You should note that the accusers claims they are fighting for their rights. I'm sad.
There is no love amongst us. Love won't make you want to see someones downfall.
If for any reason you want to slay him at least let there be proof beyond reasonable doubt and not a spontaneous reaction.
Some of us do love but I believed the steemit will help spread love espcially among Nigerians.
The persons saying CJ is a fraud were proudly screaming aloud and making propagandas to destroy is reputation on steemit and to destroy his legacy such that all of these will be forgottten.
CJ had nothing but came up with something.
Do you guys know that the Miss Steemcamp winner was given a Car.... A freaking car.
Michealcj doesnt have one,yet he still jumps buses, trucks and back of trailers to spread steemit and change lives.
the screenshots were meant to be used to celebrate a year(July 27) of friendship of knowing but I just had to set the facts straight
Steemit is a decentralized platform. Is up to you guys to say if he is a scam and fraud. Who deserves to be punished,his reputation destroyed and the steemcamp legacy burnt.
For whatever it is. Steemcamp was dream, a reality and a success
A minnow can dream so can you
