Topic: Help end this phase for Nigerians @Theymos - page 3. (Read 1034 times)

Suggested by other reputed Nigerians on this forum, so that it will not be like we are in haste to get a local board and to avoid spam. So if it is on request that I locked it, it would also be on request when I will unlock it. All were and would be discussed on our local thread for transparency.

Nice one, @smartvirus. Sorry I lack merit to splash on this thread of yours for jolting Nigerians on the forum back to the reality of their pursuit of a local board. As the most populous Africa country, Nigeria parades an enviable number of crypto lovers and traders in the world regardless of the obnoxious attitude of our political leaders to discourage crypto activities in the country. A local board for Nigeria will, inarguably, be a plus for this forum. We are an active lot. There's no gainsaying that as our activities here have proved it.

Charles-Tim, I don't know why your thread "Request for Nigeria Local Board" was locked. Perhaps, it was done by you or a mod? I had tried a few times I remembered to bump it but it was still locked.

Never mind this, just a correction. The other languages/locations board is moderated by Cyrus, which means Nigerians local thread which is a thread on the board is moderated by Cyrus. When the thread was pinned, mprep and some other moderators like Mr. Big started been actively moderating the local thread, especially mprep which actively is available if a user is constantly make consecutive posts. I understood that CryptopreneurBrainboss created the thread, which was self-moderated. This only means that the thread belongs to Brainboss and can do whatever he likes to the thread, but he is not like that, we vote and follow principles, but I wonder what would happen if Brainboss's account is compromised (which I wish not to happen) and the self-moderated thread is deleted. That would be all to all efforts we have on the local thread. This is just my opinion about this.

Above all, it would be nice if theymos gives Nigerians what we have been seeking for. I know so far we can achieve the local thread being pinned, we can also one day achieve having a local board. What is discouraging about posting on a single thread created for a local community is the discussion of 1, 2 or more topics together in just a post which makes it not to be well specific to different threads which is frustrating at times.

It’s high time we revisit this application. SmartVirus comments highlight the views of all Nigerians on the forum. We get a lot of activity on our local threads even though it is kind of hidden and difficult to find. Discussions are scattered because one person may be talking politics and another brings a discussion about latest development of bitcoin in Africa, it’s a mess and a lot of hard work to make it not look like a mess. I had hoped the community awards would help remind the forum we are still here.

Good job mate, am not fully acquitted with the requirements for local board creation, but I think we the Nigerian community are most deserving of a local board this is evidenced in the level of Bitcoin adoption by the 9ja youths and the 2021 statistics has shown Nigeria to be the highest in cryptocurrency transactions and adoption in Africa and globally this is made possible by Nigerians between the age of 20 to 40 years who are the youths.
9ja the Giant of Africa
Checking through population statistics Nigeria happens to be the highest in terms of population in Africa and also the highest in cryptocurrency adoption, Nigerian have played a significant positive role in the development and adoption of Bitcoin/cryptocurrency and this has been shown in the level of crypto adoption by Nigeria youths. One of the significant events that show youth adoption of Bitcoin was the End sars protest where Bitcoin was adopted by the protesters for donations globally, this has shown a high level of confidence in Bitcoin's decentralized nature from Nigerian youths who are limited by government autocratic approach to the economic faith of it citizens the youths have taken it upon themselves to make the change happen and Bitcoin/cryptocurrency is the way out.  @Theymos this is a plead for 9ja local board please act according to the discretion of your office to see that j9a youths are given a voice on this forum by creating a local board for Nigerians on this forum so that our voice can be hard and recognized.

That is the major problem of having to discuss in a local thread rather than a local board, in the former, discussions are more or less in a somewhat haphazard manner as there are one too many discussions going on at exactly the same time or with little time difference between them, this makes the thread kind of messy and not really encouraging to communicate in, but in the latter, with active moderation all discussions would fall into their respective child boards and that creates a sort of 'harmony' while discussing Bitcoin and other issues that will be up for discussion.

This very issue is likewise affecting the Nigerian local thread, and since there is good activity on the thread, with good users making good posts, the time is prolly right for a Nigerian local board; it is still up to Theymos to make the final decision though, thus in the meantime all we can do is wait, and give him reasons to affirm to it.

I bring you greetings from Nigeria!

I write in response to the recent development in the forum, Nigerians and Africans alike. Nigeria stands the giant of Africa although, we have our flaws but, in the scale of things, we stand to represent most of the African nations in the forum and have been increasingly active on the forum. Cryptocurrency is growing at a fast pace in Africa with Nigeria as one of the largest economy on the continent, producing some significant results in the field. Africa as a continent comprises of 54 member nations of which, most of them came off the British colonies and as such, have adopted some form of English derived language known as PIGHIN (Nigerian Pighin) as a common tongue that varies per nation though relative. It becomes sad that, no African nation has a local board on the forum admist requirements met. It becomes a win situation for the forum to award a local board to the most populous and crypto involved nation of Africa forum-wise and the world, on the forum. As, it would accommodate not just Nigerians but could as well adopt other African nations that speaks and understands the Pighin language.

There have been a request for the Nigerian Local Board on the forum here on meta Request for Nigeria Local Board (By Charles-Tim and was temporarily locked by OP to give room for ther discussions and its only right to bring it up periodically. The Nigerian community has been one of the most active on the forum with its members gaining awareness and growing in numbers as well as profiling in the ranks too. That you could observe on the stats on this thread [CHARTS] Monthly Overview Of The Unofficial Nigeria Local Board📈 (Created and Update periodically by Igehhh [Begging your pardon, the stats didn't consider Newbie Users]) and you can accord some of these activeness to have come off the win that came off the success of this thread Request for pinned Nigeria Local thread which resulted in the pinning of the Nigerian hangout Nigeria (Naija) (Thread created and moderated by Cryptoprenuerbrainboss) in the other languages board. As a result, it got more popularity and activities on the forum too. I can assure you, we could get even more with the accreditation of a Nigerian Local Board as, there are more Nigerians yet to find there way to the hangout as we have it now.

In the just complete award winning and recognition exercise in the forum [Results 2021] Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆 organised by icopress, revered in the forum for which users actively participated in the exercise. Our plight a Local Board came off the category, Fail of the year. A category for which the Nigerian Local Board creation came 5th in a roughly 1:5 voting ratio to the first place in that category. A deduction from the stats as collated by GazetaBitcoin found here Voting Results, Full List. Its not very impressive at all for it to have come up at all and could be kicked off that list on the part of the forum.

I could go on and on but, its sure to make a boring read sooner than later but, this is my plea, our plea as Nigerians and Africans alike on the forum to Theymos and whom ever vested with the power to make this happen, to see reasons with our request. One of the challenges we have now is he grouping of our topics/subjects for effective/exhaustive discussion as sometimes, that gets flushed rather too quickly.

Help Nigerians and Africans to find home on the forum, to discuss home and the growing field in our new world order.
