{"language":"en","basics":{"language":"en","title":"SIN2: Another day, another push!","description":"

We are drawing close to the commencement of the steem(it) in\nNigeria 2 event happening in Abuja and as usual, we have been pushing for a\ngreater and better Nigeria through the power of the steem blockchain.

First\noff, some people might have noticed that in recent times that the spelling of\nthe event has taken the \"it\" into brackets. It does not affect the\nevent as we are trying to emphasize the connection between the programme, the\nsteem blockchain, the front end site (steemit) and most of all, all that the\nblockchain wants to grow to become in the next couple of months. This does not\nchange what we aim to achieve.

That\naside, today we are here for another push, not just for support to run the\nevent, but to push for a greater and steemy future with the magnanimous assistance\nof fundition .All that aside, who are we and what do we hope to achieve? We are\nthe voices of the present who want to make a mark on the future making a\ndifference in the future generations, creating a better understanding and\nacceptance of what cryptocurrency and the blockchain is all about.

There\nis a saying that \"if you want to go fast, go alone, but, if you want to go\nfar, go together.\" Nigeria is a multicultural diverse nation with people\nnot just of different languages and language etc, but also, a people of diverse\ntalent. A quick Google search will attest to the fact that Nigerians who have\nexcelled, have not just simply done that, they have done it exceedingly well.\nGone are the days of the \"African prince\" tag that was branded upon\nus, now we have been making the world gradually realize that we have so much\nmore positive things to offer.

Enter\nthe Steem(it) In Nigeria event! When this came into existence, some were\nskeptical, so many questions were asked, was it going to be a one-time thing? Was\nit just a fluke or another fraudulent money making ploy? Were we going to\ndeliver? At the end of the day, after the first event, we not only surpassed so\nmany people's expectations, we made history and this opened the door to so many\nactivities.

There is this feeling of accomplishment and/or fulfillment which\ncomes with being able to make a difference. That joy erases the pain of the\nstress that was passed through to make it happen.

What exactly did we do at SIN1?

- \nWe ushered in the future of steem related promotional activities\nin Nigeria.

- \nWe helped create a spark around blockchain knowledge in Nigeria\nthrough steem.

- \nWe ushered in a wave of talents into the blockchain and we sparked\nthe consciousness within them.

- \nWe were the spark for community formation, community building and\ninter community bonding.

There are so many other links, but for the sake of preventing a situation where this post actually gets littered, we will have to limit it to these ones. Below were the pictures and videos sent by steemians used for the first event.

Back to the SIN2 discussion, we estimated our budget to be around $9,000 for this year's event, right now we have raised about $4,000 for the event and more needs to be done.

What have we done so far?

According to an earlier post, our first step was to reach out to some communities and\naccept the reach-out by several other communities to us. We need to build\nstronger, bigger and better communities on the blockchain because we can get\nthere together not alone. So far, we have gotten across to these communities;
