FRIDAY!!!!!
Hey......Steemians it's Friday again. I wanna scream!!! and shout!!! and let it all out..... hahahahaha Happy weekend to us all. Today is a special day, the guest for the day is someone magnificent, a legend ,super dopey guy that everyone will like to have a word with. Meet............. @michaelcj😎

@jeaniepearl ~ hello Mike, welcome to my studio. let's meet you, tell us about yourself

@michaelcj ~ My name is Chijioke Michael. I hail from Delta State. A graduate of theatre arts delta state university.

@jeaniepearl ~ how did you get to know about Steemit

@michaelcj ~ I got to know about steemit through a ponzi group on whatsapp. We were told that we could earn 300 usd if 300people vote for us in a day. So we needed just 300 people to register on telegram group. I registered and got approved on the 8th of July. After then, the admin incharge got discourage and gave up on steemit. Only a few of us survived the storm

@jeaniepearl ~ what was the journey like in the beginning

@michaelcj ~ It was hectic. I actually thought I was part of the first Nigerian on steemit, I created and invited people to join steemit after watching some videos and blog tutorial. I came to realize I was not part of the first Nigerians after @ehiboss, @destinysaid and @onequality stumbled on my Whatsappp group. After so much correction,@destinysaid always answered my questions,i got results after Practicalizing them. That was how I started earning from Curie, ocd and blocktrades(twice) After the success of Steemup kaduna, was the birth of Steemcamp idea that same December

@jeaniepearl ~ What inspired steem camp

@michaelcj ~ We got inspired by the turnout of Steemup Kaduna by me and Steemup Delta by @tojukaka and @destinysaid. The price of steem dollars became 4,500 naira. That was the exact time I finished NySc. So we saw the need to promote steem to more people all over Nigeria via entertainment.

@jeaniepearl ~ Take us through the experience of hosting, brainstorming, being with pretty ladies, what was the general experience like

@michaelcj ~ Price of currency dropped massively, @stach drew back their promised support with the excuse of the fall of price of steem. Some team members asked me to back out(sebi u no get sense to back out steemcamp as price Don fall) via voice note. I had no other choice than to power down my Steem and that of steemnaira. Most times I was broke and had nothing on me, I even got flagged by @neoxian because of the Steem I borrowed from @bankofSteemit. General funding for the event was a huge challenge. Thank God for my supporters who came to rescue me. Some said to my face that it was my cross, I needed to carry it alone

@jeaniepearl ~ if you could turn back hands of time will you do anything different

@michaelcj ~ I would change nothing. God doesn't give you a challenge that he know you can not overcome. In every game, you have to face challenges to reach the next level

@jeaniepearl ~ what do you have to say about the drama that came up after the event

@michaelcj ~ I wasn't surprised I was called a scam. The success story was too true for people to believe that I would give my all for the event. Firstly the lady never came to camp, she was only talking for her boyfriend who was a contestant that did not perform better than the winners. Secondly, it's normal for losers to rebel against the event organizers(but she would have done it with a proof).

It's like big brother, we could bring and remove anyone we wanted to just to make event look tough and interesting, she should also know Steemcamp is a decentralised event and must not follow the rules of other popular event. The main aim was to on-board new users which we achieved, pick the best ambassadors to help improve our local communities via pet projects and work at Steemcamp hub. I still believe the drama helped steemcamp event to be more recognized. You know that what people like is rumors, it spreads faster than good news, may be my post would have been earning 10 Sbd without that drama. So thanks to her anyways

However, the event was fairly judged and we are glad to carefully select our new steemcamp ambassadors in Nigeria.

@jeaniepearl ~ your best momment on steemit

@michaelcj ~ When @steemcamp first post hit close to 500sbd upvote. I couldn't sleep that night. Also when I got support from people who I respect so much on the blockchain. My role model @roelandp of @steemfest donation made me share tears because we have never have a conversation, same with @donkeypong, while @dimimp was like an angel sent from heaven to rescue me. I thought that was ended until @surfyogi came to put an end to my suffering. @teamsteem @lukestokes kept showing upvote and encouragement on me . Seeing steemcamp trend on steemit was from the support of @hyperfundit.

@jeaniepearl ~ if you could change anything on Steemit what will that be

@michaelcj ~ stop Bid bots. Stop trending page on the landing page of steemit. Let me only see trending page on my feed and it will be based on number of upvote not amount of votes.

@jeaniepearl ~ what impact has steemit made to your life

@michaelcj ~ Steem brings my future closer to me. It increased my reading habit and improved my way of thinking. Without Steem, we all could imagine what we would have been doing with our lives

@jeaniepearl ~ name 5 Steemians that has impacted in you the most and 5 Steemians you look up to as role models

@michaelcj ~ Five Steemians who have impacted into my life @destinysaid @ogochukwu @eurogee @dante31 @ehiboss
