My name is ELDAH REGINA CHIOMA. My parents are from Nigeria, so permit me to say I am a Nigerian. I am a Christian by religion. I am an ebony lady and of average height as you can see in the picture of me below. I am a graduate of MICROBIOLOGY from the prestigious University of Benin, Nigeria. I would refer to myself as a smart young lady, aspiring and adventurous too even though a lot of my friends think otherwise because of how simply I try to live my life. I don’t see or think low of anyone I come across and I take everyone as family because one way or the other we are all connected and getting to know about this platform (steemit) has helped me socialize more as I now have the privilege of communicating better, not just with the people of my country but with individuals from other countries of the world.
How I got to know and learn about steemit has been one that I would call most exciting. This platform has opened my eyes to a lot of things I never thought I would ever have known. Currently, I’m a work-from-home lady, so permit me to take you through everything, coz I like telling stories. Lol.
How did I get to know about this amazing platform?
I first heard about steemit from a friend (Hive account@tolustx) late last year, but I took it in from one ear and gave it out with the second ear as I thought it was one of those online schemes that would yield little or nothing. Then about a week later, my friend Hive account@areurdayle got into a contest organized by Hive account@adsactly and he won a huge amount of sbd which gave him a large pay-out. He told me about it and then I knew it was time for me to pick my stuff and join the train. He became my boss and a senior colleague, and trust me when I say “I’m blessed to have someone like him”.
How has steemit helped me thus far?
I have come to meet a lot of great minds on this platform, people who impacted my life and gave me a new view about life. I will start by acknowledging Hive account@runicar, the great brain behind some great contest I have participated in. It’s been quite short time I’ve known her but the few times I have interacted with her through comments on her posts, I have been able to recognize that she is a great person with a large heart. One more person I would love to recognize here is Hive account@surpassinggoogle, a man who loves minnows and has devoted his time and effort to making sure minnows thrive on steemit like any other person. He is the brain behind the #untalented-adjustmentscontest which many participated in recently and has been able to earn great amounts from that contest. If I fail to mention Hive account@vcelier, the organizer of #steemshort contest through Hive account@adsactly which has helped me and my friends on steemit earn decent amounts of SBDs, posterity will not forgive me. And we are very grateful for that opportunity to participate. If I keep writing about the great people I have met on steemit and how they have impacted my life individually, I might get to write a whole textbook so I will just list them out to show my appreciation through this medium.
