Who be the first Nigerian that joined Bitcoin Talk

[Zanab247]

If you look at the thread very well, you will discovered that the first person that identify to be the first Nigeria person that joined Bitcointalk has achieved a title that made me to believe that he was the first Nigeria person that joined Bitcointalk with many evidence,which his name is BrainBoss, and he was the one that created this local board to impact BTC and crypto to Nigeria citizens, and he was the only Nigeria local board merit source. Like the way i understand it in our country to honour the first person that achieved a particular thing in a country, it will be the person that show up his or her face for other people to know that this person is from Nigeria. I think, BrainBoss, Igebotz, Charles-Tim and Mpamaegbu really deserve a standing renovation for making this platform a unique one and a good impact to our generation.

[Charles-Tim]

This makes me remember this my first post on this board (local thread at the time): Re: African bitcointalk community hangout.

The first Nigerian that I know was Coyster, and Posi. I have forgotten the person I first knew between them but I think it is Coyster. I joined this forum when I found about it online myself. So I had no friend at the time.

I definitely knew Coyster was a Nigerian from this 2020 post: The first BTC ATM in Nigeria which was less than 30 days after I joined.

I sent PM to Coyster and he referred me to our local thread.

CryptopreneurBrainboss was the third that I knew which was from the local thread and I was able to know like three other Nigerians from the thread, and where I finally knew Posi is definitely a Nigerian.

It is actually good to see the progress of the community especially we as Nigerian are really putting efforts to make sure we are all recognized irrespective of any challenges and barrier we might came encountered with, truly Nigerians are good hustlers and I must commend on ourselves for that. I know it wasn't that easily scaling through the forum without a mentor @Charles-Tim but thank God today you made your way in and also became renounced person not just that also reputable member that Nigerian can be proudly and boast of in terms of any technical discussion and to whatever that we may find challenges over here, and I also happy to see that those people op listed where the first people who are in the forum although even though there are more people we are yet to discovered.

I believe they made themselves not to be associated with the Board maybe that could be for a personal purposes or and a reason but we must not fail to appreciate you people especially Brainboss, Igebotz and Mpamaegbu  and rest for their efforts and uniqueness to make sure this forum, I mean the local board where achieved and possibly we are dreaming on operating on the subforum which I know that is something undoubtedly that we must achieved for sure, actually I know it might take little time but this doesn't mean we won't achieve it as I believe togetherness it MUST come true to pass.

Congratulations to you people for keeping the community alive till date and I believe a legacy has been created, even though you are guys do not longer pay attention this forum again but, I believe those names are already recorded as the pioneers of the board.

Let love lead, and we grow by assisting and correcting ourselves if we think your junior aren't making progress or haven't getting things in a proper way always show them and notify them to make correction by doing this, this shows how cooperated we are.

Then how did you do the registration with VPN? Because you have to be directed or guided by someone to do the registration because of the VPN.

[Odohu]

The day I realised that Brainboss was actually from Port Harcourt was one of the most exciting day of my life. It feels good seeing how much your fellow Nigerians have contributed to the development and sharing of Bitcoin knowledge.  Honestly, I feel at home here as I have learnt a lot from the senior guys here. I believe we are just getting started with crypto in Nigeria.

We will do our best to make here fun-filled home. True true, Nija no dey carry last.

[Charles-Tim]

Then how did you do the registration with VPN? Because you have to be directed or guided by someone to do the registration because of the VPN.

When I saw evil fee, I later tried with VPN and it worked. I knew the IP caused it. I have known things like this before I joined Bitcointalk.

This is how I knew about Bitcointalk:

9. Join the Bitcointalk forum
Set up directly by Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcointalk is one of the longest-running Bitcoin forums. It has millions of users, and if you’re interested in learning more about Bitcoin, make sure to join.

You can also get Bitcoin from the forum by consistently posting quality content. Once you gain enough authority, every post you make will have a sponsored signature. From there, you’ll get paid for everything you post on the form—just remember that it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to get to that point.

[rachael9385]

Them say anywhere way you go if you never see black man make you run ooo and nah true talk be that, as I come this forum wey I see my fellow blacks (Nigerians) I dey very very Happy because anywhere way we know dey things never dey xup for their, anyway Sha I dey congrats all our Nigerians way start this forum from the previous beginning because them try for us well well to make theymos give us our own room (Nigeria local board) them try, I just dey picture how this forum for dey hard for us way just dey come if to say we no get house for here, because plenty of this oyiles for no understand us well oo them for no dey get some of our points, e for hard Sha ooo, and e con be like say nah we Port Harcourt (pH) guys and babes nai plenty pass.
SHOUT-OUT TO OUR FIRST NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES ON BITCOIN

[Forever101]

Well, the only people we fit get the accurate answer no fit pass the founders who fit use information submitted  API information as at the time wey the forum start take find out who be first Nigerian for this forum. This forum good shaa, e dey open person eye see the best

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

So my "I wan know how e started" spirit come up with the question of who is the first person wey identify himself as our country person to join BitcoinTalk

People no know different between first person to register on the forum and the first to identify himself as a Nigerian. If na first to register we get plenty bounties hunters wey their account go wey back. I dey jam dem plenty for bounty campaign wey I dey overseas and me personally my first involvements with this forum na 2015 wey men dey hustle for bounties with bountyhives dem and other bounty platforms. Account wey we create that time dun go (no be say dem ban am oh) but because at a time man need to find other hustle and to do that you need to rebrand yourself.  Make statistics no deceive as many things dey happen underground wey be say na only mehn wey know, know how far so when speaking about Nigerian on the forum, no look date of account creation as it doesn't tell the full stories although e get where we supposed talk stop make we no spoil our brothers hustle.

The day I realised that Brainboss was actually from Port Harcourt was one of the most exciting day of my life.

Actually I identifed as an African first because I wanted the continent to be fully represented on the forum but when I couldn't put together our brothers from the continent I decided it's best Nigeria get something to motivate others and thankfully we achieved our goal. One of the first Nigeria I knew on the forum was a guy (living overseas) that saw my post about the Nigerian government and sent me 10 merits as a motivation then him dey Hero and me dey member rank and na so we begin dey relate. We get plenty Nigerians wey be say dem dun ban their accounts for some mistakes and na dem I been first know dat year followed by our Snr man mpamaegbu.

[Charles-Tim]

Actually I identifed as an African first because I wanted the continent to be fully represented on the forum but when I couldn't put together our brothers from the continent I decided it's best Nigeria get something to motivate others and thankfully we achieved our goal.

You believed that Africa can come together and have a board on this forum, which mean English is what we are going to use to be posting. Then why do you want to make Pidgin mandatory for Nigerians when English is our official language.

If African Board should be created generally for all the Africans in the forum, then there was no need for separate Nigerian board but the Nigerian Board would have created as a child board in the Africans board and that idea was also good. And that would have making us, the Africans come together and know ourselves in the continent the more. We would have known more of our ourselves. For now it is too late to create such board. For now let everyone country create their board but we can still work with them as well. Some Africans can use the Nigerian Pidgin English, so I am even suspecting dat we have such aliens in the local board.

[Mpamaegbu]

Well, the only people we fit get the accurate answer no fit pass the founders who fit use information submitted  API information as at the time wey the forum start take find out who be first Nigerian for this forum.

You forget sey some Nigerians wey dey dis forum fit dey abroad register and some wey even dey Naija fit use VPN register also?

Make statistics no deceive as many things dey happen underground wey be say na only mehn wey know, know how far so when speaking about Nigerian on the forum, no look date of account creation as it doesn't tell the full stories although e get where we supposed talk stop make we no spoil our brothers hustle.

Like sey some people reincarnated, ba?

Anyway, na true you talk chook there. Even till date sef some people still dey avoid gummy body with d rest of us unto make dem nor begin know dem as Naija peeps and those ones go don dey here tey tey.

~snipped~

Then why do you want to make Pidgin mandatory for Nigerians when English is our official language.

I thought this issue don dey settled long time ago? Why resurrect it? Yes, English na owa official language but we sabi how flowery, peculiar and sweet wey pidgin dey be for mouth and na wetin make some of us then supported pidgin. I follow people wey sey make we use pidgin only but as majority voted sey both King's English and pidgin should go together, we settled for that. That supposed be bygone by now na. Abi e get something wey I dey miss here?

[Charles-Tim]

I thought this issue don dey settled long time ago? Why resurrect it?

A member which is not even no more a newbie raised the topic here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5462426.msg62662293#msg62662293

First I thought a member that have known about some of us posting in English should not bring such topic. Although, it is a question which is not bad and I have answered it perfectly until I am perceiving something coming up again.

Although most Nigerians on the thread also still support both languages.

We have it already as the number one rule on the local board, which is what we supposed to be pointing to for newbies and not to bring what can escalate the matter again and also to avoid thoughts.

Omo.. At first, when I saw this your post I thought you were joking oh, but after checking your profile, I saw that true true your name really deserves to be on that list as your account was created on "May 29th 2017".. So wetin happened nah my Oga?? Abi did you lose faith in the forum when the "merit system" was implemented and decided to give it a break? Or you got a new job that was time-consuming, because I just noticed you stopped posting on the forum on July 25th 2019, and then you came back in February 21st 2020 to continue posting and stopped again on February 11th 2021, and then came back again on May 25th 2023 to continue posting til date. What happened???.. Because you be one of our pioneers we go always respect despite the rank Sir.

So once again, you are welcome back Sir

[Charles-Tim]

and another thing again as at then ehh many people chop BAN from bitcointalk.org because of IPs, if your ips back den was used for some illegal stuff you go chop ban straight.

It is worth to know that it is easy for some forum members to easily know ban evaders sometimes and this is still happening. This kind of thing do happen to spammers and people that are plagiarizing.
