# This is the first 100% contribution post towards the success of the Steemit In Nigeria event coming up in November

# Why the name S.I.N.?
___
___
##### We all know how the acronym of the event is pronounced, it sounds like sin which means to do something bad, and a lot of people wonder why such a name was chosen.
##### Sin is perceived as a bad but the name was chosen to prove that something good can still come out of something bad.
___
___
##### The historical date of Christmas further proves my point. It was a day originally set aside for the sun god worship, but was converted into a world wide phenomenon. 
##### The idea behind the S.I.N. initiative when I first thought of it was to convert something which is perceived as a bad thing and make it not just a global phenomenon, but also a good thing.

# The mission and vision of the Steemit In Nigeria conference and after party
___
___
##### [In my earlier posts](https://steemit.com/growth-proposals/@ehiboss/tailoring-nigeria-for-a-decentralized-future-the-steemit-in-nigeria-event-and-after-party), the clear cut vision and mission of this event were clearly stated as:
___
___
##### A decentralized Nigeria which speaks the steemit language using the steem tongue. A future where in population of over 100 million people, steemit/steem will be a 1 in 3 Nigerian thing before two years and a 1 in 2 Nigerian thing before three years.

##### A future where instead of @gavvet's analysis to say "one of the fastest growing regions, it will say the fastest growing region."

##### Eradicating, crime and poverty through the proceeds from their decent earning from steemit and possibly in the nearest future, a steem ATM card for Nigerians. Imagine not having the need to convert to bitcoin before you can spend, imagine a future where other cryptos have to be converted to steem before they can be useful, that is my vision.
___
___
##### I also further stated in [an earlier post](https://steemit.com/growth-proposals/@ehiboss/proposal-steemit-in-nigeria-s-i-n-conference-and-party-annually-in-response-to-the-message-on-steem-chat-from-andrarchy):
##### This project aims at increasing the steemit population tremendously, monopolizing the steem and steemit market in Nigeria, and Africa in the nearest future.

##### It also targets giving the steem market a major boost and at the same time, providing a means of sustainable living for thousand of Nigerians, who are either unemployed, or wish to live their dreams.

##### The final aim is to encourage investors and partnership with possible/prospective investors on the long run.
___

# Why this event is not a waste of the community's money and what to expect
___
___
##### The event aims at creating blogging employment for millions of Nigerians through steemit and allowing the exponential growth of the community.

##### An internet usage in a country like Nigeria will definitely put steemit.com in the top 100 sites in the shortest possible time.

##### A good and active user base could be a major boost on the direction of $4 to 1 steem before this year runs out.

##### A facebook and youtube like community which pays you for your words becomes possible numerically with this event
##### The event also aims at fostering healthy interaction among people, and a chance to show creativity in various walks of life.

# Why Osun state was chosen as the location for this year's event
___
___
##### ![osun-state-map.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPRUvP1ecUUUdNJaQk1C6nLN2tq3HB9rpXmJLzFYXNL7Q/osun-state-map.jpg)
With three federal senatorial districts and thirty local governments according to wikipedia stats, the state of Osun has so much to offer being ranked number 17 on the most populous state in Nigeria, having a population of over three million people.

##### Osun was chosen for so many reasons, due to its historical advantage, security and advanage of hving so many tertiary institutions in it's vicinity, which makes it suitable to execute such an event with the proper efficiency and without putting too much strain on members of the community.

##### [My previous post](https://steemit.com/growth-proposals/@ehiboss/tailoring-nigeria-for-a-decentralized-future-the-steemit-in-nigeria-event-and-after-party), goes into details about the tertiary institutions found within the environs of Osun state, totaling not less than seven of them.

# Desired outcome/ what to expect
___
___
##### I will refer us [to a former post](https://steemit.com/growth-proposals/@ehiboss/why-nigeria-needs-a-decentralized-future-the-importance-of-the-steemit-in-nigeria-event), although I will add some points and edit some previous as the warm reception of this programme so far has prompted us to set the bar even higher.
___
___
##### The desired outcome is for Nigeria and the Nigerian market to be a key player in the development of steem and steemit. To have at least 400-500 new registrations in the first few hours of the event and 1,000-2,000 in one week of the programme. By the end of January, to boast of 100,000-250,000 new Nigerians as a result of the Steemit In Nigeria conferance and party. The target is 1 million new registrations before the end of 2018.
___
___
##### Also there will be the presence of heavy security, proper marketing, preparatory sessions, mock events by the team to prepare for the event and new recruits will be properly groomed on the basics of the dos and don't before being registered, booths for sign up for new members will be provided etc
___
___
# Like I said, a steemy future for all
___
___
# Cost of the event appeal for donations
___
___
##### The total budget needed is around $3,500 and donations should go to the @leadent360 account on steemit which is the official account used in the monetary collection.

##### Nothing is too small to donate towards the success of the event and your full upvotes and resteems are also welcome on this post and subsequent posts towards the generation of funds.
