The month of January has always been a rocky path economically since I came to know Nigeria as a country.It is a month where people who travelled to their villages for christmas,on wanting to return to their respective cities are rocked with a vigorous rise in the price of transportation,maybe because of negative shift in the price of gasoline or the transportation companies,on knowing the high demands of passengers that period,would make these prices toll high.
This makes most city residents who come to their respective home towns to celebrate christmas to get stuck to their own discomfort,waiting for transport prices to depreciate hopefully even until the third week of January.Most of them uncharacteristically incure debts while borrowing money to get them back to their city. Come to think of a family of 5kids with the two parents who travelled from Lagos to the East at cost of 7000naira per head,a total cost of 49,000naira,but by January the price back to Lagos sits at 12,000naira per head,that is a mouth-watering 84,000 naira that the family has to scoop out for their travel,it is an unforseen event which would actually unbalance families at January,making this month naturally a daunting task financially for most Nigerians.
But Alas!the story has been different for me and fellow steemians! Just because we steem we can take care of problems as such and despite the unsteady price and temporary depreciation of the STEEM DOLLAR. January has been an easy month for me in contrast to how January could have been and how it used to be in the past years.I can actually beat my hands on my chest and say I AM PROUD TO BE A STEEMIAN.
With this in mind,we steemians can only return this favour STEEMIT has done us by working harder on this platform and helping out people in the same communities as us while also socializing on the discord group,meeting new people to share experiences from and learn new things everyday on steemit.This platform should actually be our office!Yes it should.
We should also have in mind to bless people around us as have some people on the platform who are worth emulation,people who have impacted alot positively such as 
Finally,Happy New Month Steemians!!Febuary has a lot to give to us if we put in effort.It is actually a month of love so the Love steemit would give people like me this Febuary is undoubtedly going to be big!
Happy New Month all...And Happy Valentine in advance to you all.
