Who be the first Nigerian that joined Bitcoin Talk

[Donneski]

As I entered this forum I see say here na better platform to learn about Bitcoin. As I enter I come see many people from different different countries of the world but plenty of the people I saw na Oyibo but luckily for me I come still see my country people with a thread that's exclusive to them alone and that one come sweet my belle well well.

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

The first Nigerian wey join bitcointalk dey different from the first Nigerian wey identity himself as a Nigerian for the forum.
I believe your question na the first Nigerian wey identity as a Nigerian in the forum.
Normally, here na privacy forum, e fit be say many Nigerians don join this forum far back when dem create am but dem no talk say dem be Nigerians.
Although, I never tey for the forum but when I join and the standing order that time be like say na CryptopreneurBrainboss be the first person wey officially identity as a Nigerian. I join this board when e be thread and na him be also create the thread.

Make I for hear other people's view. Op, you try shaa for your curiosity.

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

How do we know the specifics user that first join the forum when there's no record of the first naija community member to join the forum, just as you've been told by uchegod, we have many Nigerians here and it's only those who deemed fit to identify themselves here are the ones we recognized, but believe me there are many of them on the forum yet to come up to the naija local board than English discussion board only, knowing the first person to join the forum is not what matters like those standing together with the naija local board community.

i really cant tell, because i joined bitcointalk early this year. but i was able to find a list of some of the Nigerians who i think are the oldest starting from 2016 and are still active on the forum. i also found this leo, who i will say he is the oldest member from Nigeria since he registered in 2012

If eh possible eh for really better say we get comprehensive list of people way don join the forum for this our local board tey tey, me I believe say we plenty for background as 9ja no they too like carry last, make eh no surprise u say some 9ja people dey among people way 1st start to use the forum as eh early start, but eh go either be say dre account dem don they banned or dem just dy the background pretend like say dem no 4rm here, 4 dre own personal reason as I they see many people 4 d forum wen dem wan discribe where dem 4rm dem fit just say Africa. No body know who be who, so diz ur list go hard.
 

                   
 

• Leo                              January 23, 2012                                  
  

This user's account is banned, with a few red tags. Being banned makes the account inactive, which I think does not make it fit in for the list again. Since getting the entire list of Nigerians who are here in the forum will be difficult, let the little old members whom you have chosen be those who are still active on the forum[/list]

[Mpamaegbu]

i also found this leo, who i will say he is the oldest member from Nigeria since he registered in 2012

Menh! I doubted dat Leo until I checked and saw he even get post for local sef. I nor go surprise sey e get persin wey enta before him sef dat year wey forum open and still dey post here codedly.

I give it to Brainboss. D guy try to arrange dat owa hangout thread, I nor go lie una. I know how reluctant I was wen im approached me on dat issue. Maybe im go don forget how dat matta take be dat time now. I wanted to just do my stuff without any ish then. Even owa late brother Becky666 follow ginger for the thread then. May God rest his soul.

We nor go too blame those wey no identify with us because e get as here be dat time wen I enta. Una sabi dat kain prejudice thing once outsiders identify you as Naija persin na. Nor be everybodi go fit risk to face mob action like dat wen you dey minority. All man wan protect wetin dey put food for dem mouth, I understand dat part.

I still dey see members wey I know sey dem be Nigerians but dem neva show face for local board unto sey dem wan keep actin foreigner. Some na their usernames dey give dem out while some na their writing pattern. Una sabi sey e get as a typical Naija persin dey take coin words of write English ba, are you understanding me 😆

Those of una wey enta here afta we get hangout thread, una dey lucky honestly. I know d joy wey e give me d first time I discovered one Naija dude through im username. I think Olubams be d user. Na so I rush d dude inbox. We chatted very well, even off forum for sometime. Na dat merit thing wey forum introduced make d dude slack. He come stop posting as soon as im marry. I tried to encourage him to come back but e nor work.

Shoutout to a man like Brainboss!

[Agbe]

This is a nice thread, as Mpamaegbu said, Brainboss has done well for the development of the local board, when I came I saw threads in Meta Boards by Nigerians asking to create local board for them and I also join them to fire up the thread. My man Adbitco, I don't know that you a hold cago, I drop salama for you. I appreciate those who set the pace for us to come and enjoy forum. What happened in the forum (historically) is just.like what happened in Nigerian in the colonial period. Op you tried for bringing this topic, these are the things we need to discuss and not all those...

[Adbitco]

This forum large oo, me self doubt because e get plenty people wey no want showcase themselve as 9ja people because of how them they see say them carry we 9ja dey, so them wan hide themself from we board and work secretly make people no noticed them. but anyhow e be we still keep pushing without having to look at how far is the road rather we can only look how close we are to getting the right points.

Omo.. If there is one thread I don read for this entire month wey give me joy, I go say na this very thread wey just give us all flashback how the history of Naija local board all started. Because truly, reading all the post on this thread just dey give me inner joy & I no go lie, as eh just dey sweet me for body to know how our early founders did struggle just to have us recognized for here and till today, they never tire but still pushing up to carry everybody alone for here.  Omo, na una be the real heroes for here, and I salama my respect to una always @ Sir Brainboss and co.. Una too much

Nice thread op and welcome to the forum. Brainboss and odas wey fight for us to get our local board be like John de baptist for bible wey paved di way for di coming of Jesus Christ. Many things wey we dey enjoy for here we get dem to thank for. Di forum no be today and naija no dey carry last, so I wan believe say even 2009 & 2010 some of our brothers and sis go don create account for here. And just as some posters don yan, e get some persons wey no want identity themselves for di local board because of one reason or di oda. Also as Mpamaegbu talk e get some username wey you go come across or de way de person dey write u go just know say dis one na naija and I don come some of dem like dat.

Weldon brother for the comprehensive list.

Just as others have said, we can not know exactly who was the first Nija person to register in this forum, because so many people they wey be Nija people and decided to stay on a low for some reasons known to them alone, so any list wey we see na just based on prople wey show themselves sat them from Nija.

Apart from who first join e get people wey stand firm to make this board active and unite us for this end, na them try pass because na because of them we see board wey we fit even they discus one or two things.
Na only God fit reward them because them really try; I no need mention name because we all know them, I just wish all of us the best of luck.
 

[Agbamoni]

True me ah done they this platform i nor fit understand how things be, since no body to help me and guide. One  day i just see this local board. Ah omor e suprise i con be like so nigeria get platform inside here. Na so i go storm inside brainboss post, i check him profile omor the guy seniour man, immediiately ah just they motivated since then. I know say this bitcoin forum go change my life as long as say ah they follow the footstep of the people i take as my mentor even if them no know me directly but i wan let them know say nah them done inspire me and na them still they inspire if the new members wey fit join this forum. Man like brainboss, agbe, Nwada001 and others i respect una

[Sim_card]

Omo like play this thread be like history when I dey read am and I just dey enjoy every comment from all the people wey post above. I Neva ever thing of this kind thing but as OP bring up the discussion, I see say na something wey we new people wey just come need to know and respect our seniors them wey pave the way for us to come dey recognised. As una talk I believe say many old members still dey this forum wey we no fit know because them choose to dey on ghost mood.
I hail you Brainboss for every effort wey you don put in to make them to create this board. Also all the old skoolape I dobale.

[Donneski]

Thank you for your comprehensive compilation of the names beloved country man. Though there might be other countrymen wey join the Bitcoin Talk before them or within the time the above listed people joined but couldn't identify themselves as our country people.

That being said, the ones you listed above I think deserves to be celebrated, respected and should be given special treatments in the forum because even though Oyibo people doesn't encourage such things in the forum, we as country people knows where we come from and why it is one of our known moral values to give honour to whom honour is due. These people paid so much sacrifices in the forum by working hard to make the forum a good platform for us all to come and learn about Bitcoin which is world's most prestigious crypto currency.

Hopefully, more of our country people who are pioneers of this forum identifies with the Naija thread for us to know them.

[Donneski]

i also found this leo, who i will say he is the oldest member from Nigeria since he registered in 2012

Menh! I doubted dat Leo until I checked and saw he even get post for local sef. I nor go surprise sey e get persin wey enta before him sef dat year wey forum open and still dey post here codedly.

I give it to Brainboss. D guy try to arrange dat owa hangout thread, I nor go lie una. I know how reluctant I was wen im approached me on dat issue. Maybe im go don forget how dat matta take be dat time now. I wanted to just do my stuff without any ish then. Even owa late brother Becky666 follow ginger for the thread then. May God rest his soul.

We nor go too blame those wey no identify with us because e get as here be dat time wen I enta. Una sabi dat kain prejudice thing once outsiders identify you as Naija persin na. Nor be everybodi go fit risk to face mob action like dat wen you dey minority. All man wan protect wetin dey put food for dem mouth, I understand dat part.

I still dey see members wey I know sey dem be Nigerians but dem neva show face for local board unto sey dem wan keep actin foreigner. Some na their usernames dey give dem out while some na their writing pattern. Una sabi sey e get as a typical Naija persin dey take coin words of write English ba, are you understanding me 😆

Those of una wey enta here afta we get hangout thread, una dey lucky honestly. I know d joy wey e give me d first time I discovered one Naija dude through im username. I think Olubams be d user.

Shoutout to a man like Brainboss!

Special appreciation to our own Naija bBitcoin Chief for this BitcoinTalk Forum wey we all know by the name Brainboss. I don hear many many good things and sacrifices wey this our bossman don do to make things to dey easy for us wey go join the forum later.

Brainboss sir, Na only God go bless you and your likes in this forum for all the good things wey una put in place to make things dey easier for us in this forum. Even as anonymous as the forum take be, we shall one day have a platform to celebrate you and your likes for we Naija. Thank you sir and Sirs

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Thank you for your comprehensive compilation of the names beloved country man. Though there might be other countrymen wey join the Bitcoin Talk before them or within the time the above listed people joined but couldn't identify themselves as our country people.

Na true you talk, many Nigerians don dey this forum even before any body on the list joined the forum(except Leo of course), and maybe e get another Nigerian wey don dey here even before Leo, na that one i no con dey sure of.
One i dey very sure of be say, there is this guys called Delemat, na through him i learn about this forum, that time, that was in 2015, he was an admin on the MMM group i belonged to, when MMM con flop, he con dey teach all of us about bitcoin, me enter google to find out wetin be Bitcoin, that was how i discovered this forum, i used the forum for several months without registering, on the 30th of july 2016, i decided to register after i discover one project wey i pick interest to invest in at the time, na that time i discover say that Delemat guy don dey for this forum since 2013.

I don try search for that account but nothing dey come up, maybe Delemat was not the username exactly, but he later abandon that account, con create new account wey he call Dalecoin Dev, this na when he launch his own coin in 2017, e be like say the project no later succeed, so he kukuma abandon everything, both the project and the forum, i believe the nigga don make him money sha.

This whole story na just to prove you right say indeed, some Nigerians don dey this forum before those wey Hatchy mention joined the forum.

That being said, the ones you listed above I think deserves to be celebrated, respected and should be given special treatments in the forum

The boss and the person wey deserve special treatment here na CryptopreneurBrainboss, na him be the Nelson Mandela wey Nigerians, and Africans at large on this forum get, this no be to undermine the efforts of other users, but Brainboss na im start the process wey make Nigeria get name for this forum today, other users came along and rendered their support, because the battle no be the type wey one person dey win, so two other users wey really try well well na igebotz and mpamaegbu, special tribute to them, and make we no forget Becky666(may the Lord rest his soul.)

[Kelward]

Dis thread de very interesting and fun to read, as e try carry us to go far back to know our history and also salute our ogas dem wey start dis our naija board. Make I follow oda members say thank you to di boss himself, @Brainboss, for championing di cause for the creation of our local board. Abeg, permit me to go a little further from di topic to thank oda members wey I think say dem don contribute wella for di growth of our board with dem massive impact, @Charles-Tim, unarguably the most active poster for dis our board, and our future merit source, @Igebotz, for di  monthly overview chart, no be small work, @SatoPrincess, for di monthly money reward, wey I don benefit twice, I thank all of una. To di first Nigerians to join bitcointalk forum, evendo say we fit no know all of dem, I salute dem.

[CryptSafe]

I had to go through each and every comment here and to be frank I love what I am reading. It is nice we have come this far and we shall continue to move forward together. 
I know there are many people who were here before leo but that we do not know.

My joy is that Brainboss, Igebotz, Charles-Tim, Fivestar4evermvp, mpamaegbu and names too numerous to mention were able to coordinate things here and it paid. Here we are having fun on our own local board and hopefully,our childboards and more merit source request will be granted.

Congratulations to us all.
