It is no news that steemit is the next big thing. And for this reason, we don't want anyone to be left out. Just a single person cannot reach out to the whole world about this great platform. But if each one of us starts with the closest people to us, in no time, we will be able to spread the good news abroad.
WHO ARE WE?
This is the official account of and our mission is to bring more people to steemit. We'll be focusing on the people of Kogi state of Nigeria. There are thousands of potential steemians in the state who are yet to know about this platform.
We will also train upcoming writers and to write great content and also help improve their writings. Steemit is sustained by the people in it and our job is to bring in the people who will add value to our system.
Statistics has proven that meetups have improved and increased the #nigeria population on Steemit. Nigeria has a population of About 185 Million people, that is a huge potential market for steemit. (

All thanks to the effort of great steemians from Nigeria who have contributed immensely to this growth. Contributions in form of seminars, meetups, campus invasion, community services, just to mention a few.
WHY KOGI STATE STEEMIT?
Several places I've been reached in this country, Nigeria. We've had several meet ups like steem-uyo, steem-Ogun, steem-portharcourt, steem-Ibadan, etc... also created
- a decentralized offline hub for steemians. Steemit is indeed a gospel that so many people are preaching on the street of Nigeria already.
But we notice that there is little awareness of steemit among the people of Kogi. This is the reason why we have decided to come together and reach the people to tell them about steemit. This account was created to monitor our progress and also record our success as we progress.
A LITTLE ABOUT KOGI STATE
Kogi, a state in the central region of Nigeria. It is popularly called the Confluence State because the confluence of River Niger and River Benue is at its capital, Lokoja, which is the first administrative capital of modern-day Nigeria.
Kogi state is the only state in Nigeria which shares a boundary with ten other states. That means that if you are going to any part of the country, you are likely going to pass through Kogi state. Kogi is blessed with several mineral resources and, also, they are into agriculture.
