Good day Nearians,
This post is an introduction to a new DAO under the RC DAO specifically operating from Ibadan, Oyo State, the South West of Nigeria, hence the name, SouthWest Near Club of Nigeria.
The Southwest is home to one of the largest cities in Africa which is Ibadan and the Southwest of Nigeria is highly populated representing different ethnic groups but with very large representations from the three main ethnic groups representing the three geo-political zones of the country which are Hausa, Ibo and Yoruba, although the Southwest region is predominantly Yoruba.
The target of this DAO is to serve as an outreach within the region to spread Near education, increase awareness and organise events that encourage the utilization of Near dApps.
The Focus and Value:
The focus shall be on assembly of individuals that are in the fields of web/software development - to teach them about Near education and encourage them to start building on Near Protocol by creating web3 websites and apps that can be downloaded both on the Google play store, apple store and windows store.
Much emphasis shall be placed on education and the aim is to gather individuals who are already into teaching profession or similar fields, show them around the Near Ecosystem and impact them with the knowledge so that they can teach others too.
We aim to teach so they can re-teach. Teach one, one teaches all.
Another target is to initiate a campaign to bring in existing business running on web2 platforms to adopt web3 and especially Near Protocol which they can use for payments. Local businesses can receive payments services for goods in Near tokens and do a lot more with the Near Tokens. This would remove the problematic nature of the banking system that involves traffic, delays in payment and failed transactions.
Networking and Connections: Southwest Near Club Of Nigeria will facilitate networking opportunities for its community members to connect with like-minded individuals, developers, entrepreneurs, and industry experts within the Near Ecosystem community around the world.
Mode of Operation
Every organisation has modes of operations. In SWNCN, we will make use of the following
A. Student clubs
For students related activities, in other to get maximum participation, we would utilize the student governing body in charge of the caliber of students needed. For student developers, a club such as Association of Computer Engineering Students can be contacted for collaborations, which would guarantee the full participation of their members.
B. Community Based Events
All events would be to encourage participation of the immediate environment to get them to know more about the Near Ecosystem. This would encourage a policy of assimilation and not just association. When the community members are assimilation, they are acculturated into the Near Community where they are made useful based on their skills and areas of expertise.
To recap, our focus is:
A. Education
B. Conversion of web2 platforms to web3 platforms and specifically to adopt Near Protocol
C. Build a team of developers in the region focused on building dApps for Near Ecosystem
D. Train a group of teachers in each state using different languages so they can also teach others
E. Bring onboard business owners and encourage them to employ the Near Ecosystem platform for their web3 payment platform.
From the above, the immediate target is Education and the rest are long term goals.
