New to steemit, hello all.

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Hello steemit, you can call me Benny. I live and work in Dubai but I'm from Nigeria. I'm here to make money and share my opinions.

At home, my family needs more money, so I have a few stories tell. When I was still a kid growing up, I thought this world is very simple that everyone gets what he or she wants. When my father died, I learned how this world is wicked. My mother suffered a lot just to make my sisters and I happy.

I tried my best going to college polytechnic which I study accounting in school, and get my OND certificate, but there isn't much work in my country, so I decided to learn a business of electronic appliances, which I did, but life is still hard and Nigeria is becoming worse and we still have no money. I decided to come to Dubai to work and take better care for my life and that of my family..

I have to tell you about myself: I'm a very simple person, easy-going and always friendly. I'm a Christian and I believe that God has the power to do the impossible. When I was a kid I'd go to church every day to ask for the blessings of God. I always see my family through hard days.

Apart from being a religious person, when it comes to sports, I love football very much and I'm good at it. I also like to watch football on TV.

If you like my stories, please follow me. I will visit your blog too. Thank you.

Hello bencobenny! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
