Amidst the nuisance of the Steemit site for the past weeks ,I still find some interesting publications to read, I still find it important to make some contributions on planet earth, knowing very well that tough time don't last.
Most platforms do have some glitch sometimes, like what happened to Facebook and Instagram yesterday-6th March, 2024.
I have received a lot of messages on my Discord and Telegram from various users about these whole situation. I have been affected as well, but all I can say for now is that we need patience until everything is fix to normal on the Stemit.com site, just relax! Maybe, you can take advantage of the https://steemworld.org site by steemchiller
And now?
While listening to an investment program in one of our local radio station, here in Uyo - some days back, one of the presenter said that one thing to look out for before investing in a cryptocurrency investment is to consider their underlying project.Do they have any good sustainable project? Can that solve mankind basic problems?
If you can identify a cryptocurrency with an edge over others, such as providing a solution to a widespread challenges faced by mankind—it might be a good idea to invest in such crypto because it could last for a long time. Surprisingly, he mentioned Steem as one of the best investment that one can consider.
The young man was right, Steem have that potential because of what it has done for humanity over the years in terms of charities around the globe.
Of all the projects I've been involved with on Steem, the one I am most grateful for is the Steem solar. This charity project was based on the concept of few friends (people of Steem) donating a percentage of their post earnings regularly until each of this projects were achieved. One of the Steem witness pennsif sponsored the last one. It would be interesting if you could give a vote to his witness as I would advertise it at the end of this post.
Electricity is one of the biggest challenge in Africa and as one of my biggest dream to make a little change on planet earth I want to install as many solar power points as possible with any means within my reach.
This would be a good way to tell the world about Steem and to help solve few human problems perhaps, using a blockchain like Steem. I believe I can do little things that make big changes through Steem and I also believe that Steem can make the sun rise.
Most of us were privilege to use and understand the computer because we were thoughts in schools or maybe we later went for computer training. Unfortunately, many children or even adults in my locality don't have such opportunity, because of the environment they found themselves at. Most schools don't have a computer because of - no electricity.
With the head teacher
For instance, I visited one of such schools last week with the information below:
Location:
| Location | Ibesikpo- Akwa Ibom |
|---|---|
| School: | Galilee Kiddies Academy |
| Potential Beneficiaries | 600 and above |
| Plus Code : | https://plus.codes/6FQ92XQ6+JM |
| Map: | Google Map |
| What3word: | https://what3words.com/episodes.column.steamed |
They have nursery, primary and secondary sections and their age range is as follows:
Nursery = age 2 to 5
Primary = age 7 to 12
Secondary = age 12 to 16
All of them are in the same compound, but differentiated by their school uniform
It's not really a big school like the one Installed last year.
It would be very helpful to them if one unit is install for them in that school. I believe that while blogging, Steem can help me achieve this. I have also mention to them that through Steem many of humanity basic problems can be solved.
Now with the activities on the blockchain bubbling up, the STEEM price showing signs of stirring and SBDs back in rewards and reaching some good figures in dollar, I am feeling that now would be the time to get life basic challenges like this settled.
The students of that school are creative, they developed a lot of artwork that got me intrigued, but they lack some basic computer knowledge due to no electricity.
That's a problem in this 21st century. If I could use Steem to help them settle this electricity problem by installing a solar in the school, I would get at least 2 computer and 3 solar fan from my resources to support them as well and maybe, I would name that computer lap - "Steem computer lap-2024". That sounds like a good buzz about Steem.
This would mean posting many times to get this done.
| Quantity | Item | Naira | Steem |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3.5KVA, 12V Inverter | 350,000 | 743 |
| 2 | Tubular battery | 500,000 | 1062 |
| 1 | 60A MPPT Charge Controller | 95,000 | 202 |
| 4 | 200Watt Canadian Solar Panel | 500,000 | 1062 |
| . | Cable/Rack/Accessories | 150,000 | 319 |
| . | Transportation | 70,000 | 149 |
| . | Labour | Steem electricals | |
| Total | 1,665,000 | 3537 |
That is one million,six hundred and sixty five thousand Naira (₦1,665,000 ) which is equivalent to 3537 Steem, £812 and $1042 using today's Steem rate at $0.29 (6th March, 2024).
I would start with getting the panels and there after I get other components. Maybe few reviews/reports on the progress weekly. I also think it might be a good idea to couch the few members of staff that were interested to join Steem. I am planning to enter there again by next week.
I think while earning and allowing Steem to help achieve a better life, I can do good and promote Steem by lighting some parts of Africa.
The aim of this would be to install more solar in communities around my zone, other parts of Nigeria and Africa. Maybe something like "Steem lighting Africa". Perhaps, visit other nearby African countries in the future.
To raise awareness of the power for good of the Steem blockchain. That's what Steem for better life is about.
To attract and recruit more people to join and contribute to the Steem ecosystem.
Unfortunately, this last aim has turn out to be a little challenging as most times we don't have a good turn up from people as per joining the blockchain. However, there is no harm in trying and maintaining the good intention.
