Taking some of my words from my previous post starting as far back as May in a post I made, the realization for the need for mass adoption of steem/it, made it imperative to share this miracle with everyone.
A lot of people asked why S.I.N. was chosen when it implies negativity. I am a person who turns a rainy day into a warm sunshine, the idea was to bring something good out of something bad.
Imagine a scenario where if you think about the word "sin" it won't be the bad deeds that comes to mind, steemit comes to mind. It is a way where we can change a negative situation into a life changing situation.
Our MaV (Mission and Vision)
Preparing and colonizing Nigeria for a decentralized future. The future we reference here, is one in which there will be mass adoption of Steem/it just as in the case of bitcoin, which also gives it relative trading value a major boost.
A future where Nigerians will be the driving factor for a price boost and the relative usage of Steem will be 1 in 3 people.
Creating a future where the blockchain technology becomes the driving tool for employment around the world using Nigeria as a point of reference and reducing crime and unemployment related deaths.
The vision goes on to push for monopoly like situation for steem and also creating a conducive environment for investors and investments in the platform.
Progress report
Over the past couple of months, starting from the inception post by @ehiboss, we have been on a forward march, always gaining momentum.
From securing the location to hotel booking inquiries, we have always been giving updates, this post covers the publicity/marketing aspect.
The handbills are ready

An official Steemit In Nigeria twitter account was set up on the 16-09-2017 to provide publicity on twitter, you can give us a follow.
An official Steemit In Nigeria facebook account was set up.
A visit to NTA Ile-Ife to try and secure coverage
Shirts and the roll up and flex banners are underway.
We have acquired our guest speakers for the event and they are pumped. We are also trying to get guests from steemit that will do a live session with us.
This is not a waste of money and here is why
I will refer us back to this post the points listed were:
The event aims at creating blogging employment for millions of Nigerians through steemit and allowing the exponential growth of the community.
An internet usage in a country like Nigeria will definitely help put steemit.com in the top 100 sites in the shortest possible time.
A good and active user base could be a major boost on the direction of $3-4 to 1 steem before this year runs out.
A facebook and youtube like community which pays you for your words becomes possible numerically with this event
The event also aims at fostering healthy interaction among people, and a chance to show creativity in various walks of life.
How we will show it is a success
In this post,The desired outcome is for Nigeria and the Nigerian market to be a key player in the development of steem and steemit. To have at least 400-500 new registrations in the first few hours of the event and 1,000-2,000 in one week of the programme. By the end of January, to boast of 100,000-250,000 new Nigerians as a result of the Steemit In Nigeria conferance and party. The target is 1 million new registrations before the end of 2018.
Also there will be the presence of heavy security, proper marketing, preparatory sessions, mock events by the team to prepare for the event and new recruits will be properly groomed on the basics of the dos and don't before being registered, booths for sign up for new members will be provided etc
Like I said, a steemy future for all
Cost of the event
An amazing programme like this requires fund to become a success, the total budget needed is around $3,500 and donations should go to the @leadent360 account on steemit which is the official account used in the monetary collection.
We have gotten slightly over $1,000 which was used to take care of somethings, however, nothing is too small to donate towards the success of the event and your full upvotes and resteems are also welcome on this post and subsequent posts towards the generation of funds.
