Hello Augustine.
It’s been more than a month you gave this space any feedback on what is going on with your project.
Can we please get some receipts to know how far the competition has gone?.
Don’t you think it’s taking too long?.
We don’t want a situation where by this forum is filled with proposals from Africans and the projects are not completed.

I appreciate your request for updates, but I don’t understand your request for “receipts”.
While I appreciate your request for updates, I must clarify that this project is not running under the auspices of any African organisation, coalition or guild. I am therefore not accountable to you in that regard.
Having said that, preparations are ongoing to bring the projects to a head soon - in spite of several setbacks.
I will deliver some reports tomorrow.

This is a mature response
With what we’ve seen (the fliers and the rest) we trust he’s doing something things. He’s going to give us report when it’s time.

Nobody is attacking you, I wonder why you’re being so defensive. You should know that eyes are on this project, and with lots of funds invested, the least you can do is to drop updates.
With time, other projects would be kept on hold, until pending projects are completed. I’m sure you won’t like that to happen…

You misunderstand me.
I am neither being defensive, nor do I perceive your comments as an attack.
My point was pretty clear, so I will not repeat it.
Like I said, I will show a report tomorrow.
PS:
What do you mean by receipts here?

REPORT
Hello everyone.
It’s been an exciting, topsy turvy journey, but we’re slowly getting to the matches 
We’ve done:
The fliers
The banners
Check our jerseys (50 pairs and 4 pieces)
I had a personal function to attend in another State, so I have had to retool my strategy so that the competitions can be held in this new location.
I’m now working now closely with local football coaches trying to overcome the biggest barrier I’ve encountered.
The Biggest Barrier
I’ve had to spend a lot time talking to prospective participants to assuage their doubts about cryptocurrency. Many of them want to deal in “cold hard cash”.
The Solution
After many talks with players, teams and coaches, this barrier is crashing. Educating people about the practical use cases of NEAR tokens has been a pleasure and the fruit of this labour will be reaped shortly as several teams have indicated interest.
Action Points
-
I have meetings with a few team captains to show them how to open Near wallets and fund them. Recall that each player (on every team) will have to register via their Near wallet. And a registration fee of up to 1.5Near will be paid to amateurleague1.near
-
My team will liaise with all the parties involved to work out the most feasible date for the the start of the league - which will them be announced here.
This concludes the report for now. Thanks for your patience and support.

Near Viewing Centre
The building is complete.
Unfortunately, I cannot share pictures at the moment because I’m currently away from home and I don’t have them on any of the devices with me at the moment. Please, bear with me.
For maximum effectiveness, I later situated the Near Viewing Centre just opposite the Federal University of Technology, Akure.
What’s left is to purchase:
TVs
Decoders and
Generator
I look forward to sharing a more comprehensive report on my return home.
Thanks for your understanding.

Nice one. Wasn’t trynna demean your work in anyway. I’m equally looking forward to the success of this projects.
If you could start up a YouTube Channel so that some clips can be uploaded during this events, that would be nice too.

It’ll be my pleasure to stream the matches in the Metaverse - somewhere on Nearhub or something.

@AugustKinge this is amazing and everything direct and the planning is outrightly structured. We want more of this and i am happy this will definitely put the NEAR PROTOCOL in the lips of the youths and future generation…
Hello everyone.
The project status remains “in progress”.
Unfortunately, in the past 4 months, I’ve had to deal with 2 major medical emergencies. The last having only ended recently, with convalescence in progress.
I apologize that the timeline has been stretched past what is stated in the proposal, but I promise you that it was completely unavoidable.
I am passionate about building a synergy of sports and Web 3, and have given too much to this project to botch it.
In a week or two, comprehensive reports will be turned in.

Thanks @IgbozeIsrael.
Your concern about my health is touching.
I have indeed had to deal with two major medical emergencies… Very serious trying time for me and my family.
I thank God that we pulled through.
Regarding my activities in CreativesDAO.
All my “activities” on CreativesDAO require little to no physical strain whatsoever. My phone and computer suffice to carry out these activities. This cannot be said concerning the demands of this project. I could very well manage, typing and tweeting during these medical emergencies.
UPDATE
I must reiterate my commitment to seeing the project through on a remarkable scale.
Many exhibition matches have been played and a good number of wallets have been opened.
We’re building gradually to the crescendo, piggybacking on the momentum and awareness from the exhibition matches.
It’s been a steep learning curve surmounting the nearly impervious barrier to entry, but great strides have been made.
I will share some details of the exhibition matches that have been played and wallets already opened.
The main competition is still ahead.
A quick preview of some exhibition matches
Some teams that participated in the exhibition/test matches
Most of the players in one shot.
All the wallets opened for the Exhibition/Test Matches:
These exhibition matches have:
-
Created awareness about the Near Amateur League. I must have spoken to over 500 youths in the course of ‘evangelising’ the project. It has become more than a singular event, it is now a movement. I have spread awareness in 2 States, Lagos and Ondo States.
-
Facilitated the opening of numerous wallets of which only 20+ can be accounted for.
-
Created massive awareness about Near Protocol.
-
Onboarded 20+ people to Near.
All these achieved before the main event.
Please stay tuned, be patient… I am building beyond the hype.
Thank you for your time.
