I brought out 3 people who has almost the same posting style and are old in this forum. I call them unsung heroes because they are my heroes even if many people may not notice them
Disclaimer: Everything written here is my personal opinion. I may be wrong or I may be right. So it should not be used for any official purpose.

These 3 people are:

• franky1
• DannyHamilton
• JayJuanGee

FRANKY1
Registration
Franky1 registered on this forum on 3rd September, 2012.
He does not wear signature of any company, still he contributes daily in the forum. If there is statistics, he should be one of the most active users. From 2012 till date, almost 10 years and he is not tired. I can call him a genuine lover of bitcointalk. I wonder where he draws his motivation.
Trust
As old as he is in the forum, he is not trusted by a single DT member, -3. But he has been tagged for spreading FUD and trolling by Achow101 (2019). He was also tagged by gmaxwell(2018) for dishonesty and anti-bitcoin shilling, could be the reason why he is banned from the technical board. This year BlackHatCoiner tagged him for spreading FUD about Lightening network and he eventually called for Franky1's ban https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5380036.msg58910999#msg58910999
His Strength

• He is logical, uses real life examples to express his believes or opinions. He is known also for typing a very long wall of text when he wants to prove a point. Franky1 can decide not to be wrong even if he is wrong because he has so many ways to make his opinions stand out, see for long text https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5386453.msg59331440#msg59331440
• He has the ability to perform even under pressure.  He can stand alone even when the whole world is at the other end https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5380215.msg58919861#msg58919861
• He is an economist and also a mathematician,  he combines both skills as his unconquered armour

Meriting style
I don't know if he is a merit source. But he recieves merits frequently for his quality works. He does not issue merits always, but when he does, he will definitely change your merit history by issuing 50merits.
My personal opinion about Franky1
He is very intelligent. A verse thinker. I enjoy sleeping in his profile to learn but he is not aware of this. I wish he can reply and tell us his driving principles.

DANNYHAMILTON
Registration
Danny registered three months earlier than Franky1, on 25th June 2012. 10 years down he is not tired of providing solutions in the technical board. He also does not wear signature yet he is active in the forum.
Trust
He is well trusted +10 by DTs.  He has done a 7btc transaction in this forum (2014). Many trust him for his knowledge, smartest and also for his professional escrow services.
His Strength

• He is logical, uses real life examples to express his believes or opinions. He is known also for typing a very long wall of text when he wants to prove a point. Danny can be correct and will like to be more correct so that it will be very clear to everyone that he is correct
• I was thrilled when he used himself, myself and Pooya87 to write a play in order to explain how a pool operator can coordinate with scammer to manipulate a transaction in the blockchain https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5373857.msg58868794#msg58868794
• He is an analyst and a strategicthinker,  I wish he can sometimes visit Beginners and Help board to help new people with his knowledge

Meriting style
I don't know if he is a merit source. But he recieves merits for his quality works. Just like Franky1 he does not issue out merits frequently but when he does expect them in tens.
My personal opinion about DannyHamilton
He is just like Franky1 but not Franky1. He is so intelligent that he will stop at nothing to convince you about a particular matter. No wonder he agrees and disagrees with Franky1 most cases. I wish he can reply and tell us his driving principles.

JAYJUANGEE(WinYoungGhee)
Registration
Jay came two years after Danny and Franky1. He registered on 17th February, 2014.
8 years down he is not tired. He also does not wear signature of any company, yet he contributes much in the forum.
Trust
He is trusted +4 by DTs.  Vod (2019) said he fights against forum corruption. He is also trusted for the time he spends in the forum giving advice and explanations in a detailed way - Poker player (2021).

His Strength

• He is a great spectator. No wonder his favourite board is speculation and his favourite thread is Wall Observer
• Just like Danny and Franky1,  he can type from Ukraine to Russia in order to explain or express himself completely https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg59368244#msg59368244
• Very intelligent and I also believe he is financially intelligent.  Who knows if he works with a finance company in his country

Meriting style
It seems Jay is a merit source because he sends out merit daily. Unlike Franky1 and Danny, he sends just 1 merit to everyone. Unless you are lucky, on his birthday he can issue 3 merits at once 😅. He believes in spreading the merit across everyone.
My personal opinion about JayJuanGee
He is intelligent and has enough knowledge to dish out. But he is also a good listener. He most times listens to what people say and use it to compare to what he has and then give out the best.

I respect three of you, who knows I may make similar review for other deserving members of this forum in the future.

Sorry for a long read.

I am happy at the progress that Nigerian unofficial local board made this January. I had to visit previous updates and noticed that there is more activeness now compared to December last year.
The board recorded 131 posts December, 2021 and 149 posts January, 2021. The difference is about 18 posts and I made a total of 14 posts to be the 3rd most active January, 2022. Maybe I am the difference.

The number of merits issued in Nigerian Local Board is not matching with the quality of posts there. If Theymos can grant the merit application of Upgrade00 and Charles-Tim, it will help circulate merit in the board. Other merit sources can also come to the board, who knows you can like our pigin english and issue merit to deserving posts. Hopefully we can have our locale board one day.

Even though your message do not seem straight forward, I think I understand what you are arriving at.
First, you said we are lagging behind in the forum, can you point out the issues that are dragging us behind so that we can know how to tackle them.
Meanwhile, I don't think any problem of such is existing, this is because here is a forum of bitcoiners and it is not the bitcoin itself and neither is it the only place developers assemble.

I protested the introduction of Kepa.
Kepa once or twice has been good in catching pk, but pk is more of a thing of luck. Meanwhile, Mendy during the just concluded AFCON saved Pk and he should have been given some benefits of doubt.
I really knew that Kepa will be disastrous. It is disappointing that Kepa could not catch 1 out of 11 pk taken and to crown it all, he send his own pk to the fans.
Congratulations Liverpool, you deserve the cup.

Black lives matter to em fellow blacks?
Wetin dey happen for Ukraine dey happen everyday for Africa and even for Naija we country. We fit talk say Ukraine dey give their real citizens preferential treatment because dem value their own. E no dey vex me, because I believe this na eye opener to our people.

For Iwofe Port Harcourt, navy people don stand me and others for hold up for over 30mins based on sey dem dey clear road for oyibo people to pass.

For airport for Lagos wey I go pick my brother, na so dem dey queue and all oyibo people clear finish dey go house.

The same thing dey happen for bank everyday. If we no learn our lessons from here, our own worse pass.

Bitcoin I different things to different people. Even when you see the whitepaper, the whitpaper don't even have somethings Bitcoin has developed to and will develop to in the future.
Satoshi himself underestimated the potentials of bitcoin. No one thought it will be like this. So bitcoin is dynamics.
I will appreciate if you can view my avatar text and see if it's same with your definition.

This is exactly my thought. In my peer it is only me that has the mind of leaving my bitcoin no many the nature of the market. But my friends pressure me alot, the other time they pressured me to the extent that I sold at lost and the next few days bitcoin is high again.

For the fact that bitcoin will not double my $500 to $1000 overnight also means that it will not crash my $500 to $0 overnight. But I don't actually know why the fear. If it is altcoins no problem, but this is bitcoin the king.

This na good observation. E never do to introduce person for this place make you no tell the person the rules and regulations wey dey guide here. The way dem dey create topic, e be like dem think say na social media like facebook, wey you go wake up and share wetin dey for your mind for your wall.
The mata no be say dem too create topic, but the main mata be say some of the topics no worth am. E dey drag eyes enter dem account and enter we country.

History has a way to repeat itself, no matter how you try to avoid it, it will still happen. In this one, I am strongly looking upto Biden to be more hard on Russia to seize fire. I listened to him imposing some financial related restrictions on Russia, but I think it is not enough to stop Putin and his men.
Putin does not have much regard to Biden, but he should understand that Biden is different from America. While Biden is an individual, America is a nation state.

Your story is true, I was a victim of this. What they do is to create a telegram group and all the scammers will be very active, showing false testimonies and prove of transactions. Even if you go pm, you will likely meet them there. The best thing is to avoid them totally.
They fake it to be so real that you will believe that they are real. Though I think that scam tactics is outdated. If you want to trade, trade with only people you know and trust, otherwise use reputable exchanges.

I greet una my poeple. As I enter our local board I discover something. Many new accounts just dey pop up they create plenty topics and dem go ban dem because of plagiarism.

Igehh don already advice them not to dey open plenty and careless topics wey dem never get better experience use tall for here.

Me I go drop proverb for our newcomers here and I go try explain the proverb join.

Proverb: Animal wey Okpoko kill, the animal deaf.
Meaning: Okpoko na animal wey dey kill other small animals. But this animal dey make loud noise if em dey come. So, any animal wey Okpoko kill na deaf animal.

For sometimes I never show face here due to some personal issues. Sorry for the Edith1994 dem ban. I no even know say the account from our community. When I enter Beginners and Help board, I saw many topics the Edith1994 open. Those topics sef no too get quality.

Even for the post wey make dem ban am, wetin em go copy for internet no even relate bitcoin or any technical something. Na pity say dem ban person for off topic matter.

Neymar has been good for a long time, I was personally expecting him to be the next reign after Ronaldo and Messi. I don't known if I will say that he came at the wrong time. He came when Ronaldo and Messi was at their peak for decade plus. But currently many young players are out, you did not include Salah in the list because he is to me now like a world best. He is really good at it.

This is a very critical time for Real sociedad to make some critical decisions. They team is not very consistent. They need to weigh their strength in the current europa league and see if they can chase it. If not they should put more attention to the league.
According to the present form, I am sure Bilbao is going to overtake them because they are more inform and consistent. Sociedad is just one point ahead Bilbao and Bilbao has higher goal. Though Sociedad has a catch up match.

This is a very interesting statistics you just observed. My eyes have never been down to discover this. The goodnews for the three clubs is that if one joins the champions league, the remaining two will still play in Europe. As for the club that will join the champions league, I think Leipzig will do because when you check the overall form of the league, after Dortmund, the next in form is Leipzig, ahead of Leverkusen and Munich. So if they maintain their current form, they will make it to champions league.

Challenges of Juventus started even when Ronaldo was in the club. Remember Juventus has been stable for many seasons, they won the Italian league for many times, that is to say that the reason why they bought Ronaldo was not to win the Italian league for them, rather it was to win the Champions League for them. But surprisingly it did not work out for them and Ronaldo left.
But after Ronaldo left, it look like he left with some parts of Juventus, they have really been struggling.

I didn't expect that spurs will go home with zero point last night. It was so disappointing. Every win comes with a high moral to do better in the next match but spurs own is different.
The rate of inconsistency is high in both the team and the players. Just few days ago we thought Harry Kane is back to scoring form, then meeting a lesser club he couldn't fine the net for 90+mins

Manchester united I actually leading in possessions and passes completed. But Athletico Madrid is leading in goal and also leading in attack both dangerous attack.
Manchester united has never find a way to proceed forward in the game. Athletico Madrid studied them well and is giving them very hard marking.
Ronaldo is already sad because he is being handled rough and he doesn't have chances. Pogba is not doing well in the middle and Maguire I can say is the cause of the goal felix scored because he left him unmarked.
Let us see how the second half will go.

I predicted well that Leeds cannot be a hindrance to Liverpool, I also expected the high score line I am seeing in the livesscore. I am watching Manchester united vs Atletico Madrid, so I don't really know what happened in Liverpool match for them to have two penalties in the first half.
Is it that Leeds were so brutal in the match or it was a mere mistake.

I assure you that Manchester United is in trouble tonight. That teenager early goal is surely a big problem to Manchester United. After the goal it is expected that Manchester United will put pressure on Atletico Madrid but instead Atletico Madrid is still presurring Manchester united.
Atletico Madrid is likely to get another goal and De gea is complaining about it seriously.
If the match ends Half time 1:0, Somione will tell his boys to lock the defence.
