Experience

I’ve been in the Crypto Ecosystem since 2019 and I started my Crypto journey with Defi (lending, swapping, borrowing etc) and I was amazed to experience a new level of finance in a decentralized manner unlike our centralized local banking system.
I was so interested in Crypto I paid more attention to Fundamental & Technical Analysis of Assets, and I had to make Analysis on NEAR token which I found interest in and had to do intense research which brought me to be a contributor in the Eco.
Meta Pool Ambassador: I’m currently an Ambassador for the Meta Pool community representing Africa Lead to introduce Liquid staking to Africans through Educational Contents, IRL activities, Brand Awareness and other means of promoting Meta Pool and I’ve proven worthy by meeting up task and shown commitment by onboarding Africans through the little connections I’ve and partnerships too.

Goals?
My Involvement in any project in NEAR Ecosystem is always to focus on the main goal other chains would aim for, as it’s a norms that some of the basics of a living community or human is to grow, compete, adapt etc.
My Goal to be a council member is to make sure all ideas and initiatives align with the goals of the NEAR Ecosystem and to enforce transparency, accountability and traction.
With my experience I’m willing to support and share ideas with leaders from various regions to impact positive returns and to create awareness about NEAR Regionally.
Being the best leads to competition and growth and to build the ecosystem we need
- Onboarding and Development
- Interaction with ecosystem DApps and Infrastructures
- Increase the value of our L1 token and reputation
- Educational and Brand Awareness.
How are you involved with NEAR and the overall blockchain ecosystem?
I’ve been involved with the NEAR Ecosystem right from 2021 from Participating in OWS bounties, Championed the Freelancer DAO , Volunteered to support the NDC movement and shows good examples of what I preached.
Help the Community and newly onboarded to direct them and guide them on how best to find their bearing or move within the ecosystem.

I’m from Nigeria and willing to represent the Africa Community like I always do
Why are you a good candidate?
With my experience and ability to fulfill all tasks as a council member I know fully well I’m a good candidate for this position and willing to listen to the community. The community needs an active representative and a listener with good skills and ready to deliver and provide solutions to meeting KPIs and goals.
I’ve been active on forums most/many times assisting other Councils respond to community problems and proposals and bringing solutions or best methods to the community.
Having the quality of a good candidate is also a plus as I’ve learnt the mistakes and issues from other DAO’s and willing to bring effective solutions

I’ve never discriminated anyone as I believe we are one community and believe in the ability of everyone
Explain your strategy to develop regional communities.
- Evaluation: would apply professional and strategic skills to evaluate proposals from Regional communities through planning, implementing, executing and reporting
- Community Engagement: With my skills of community engagement I would encourage leaders to show full support and participation in NEAR related activities and willing to support and collaborate with other community to build more engagement.
- Onchain activities: Encouraging community to pay more attention on Onchain activities and this is a huge means of supporting the ecosystem and building traction and engagement onchain
- Availability: As most proposals work with time and community most times demand attention from Councils I would do all possible best to be supportive, quick response to community needs, Onchain participation etc
- KPIs and Educational resources: Find the possible and best way to break down KPIs and track success for communities and also provide Educative materials or ideas to create more awareness and intuitive learning.
Let us know any expectations regarding your time commitment and compensation.
NEAR Ecosystem is the only blockchain I am dedicated to and spend most of my time here and am always here for the long term development, however I’m willing to dedicate 4hrs/day for my council position and my compensation should be based on the Regional DAO budget for council.
Kindly disclose any potential conflicts of interest, and feel free to be creative!
Currently an Ambassador for Meta Pool and a Mod for NDC and have no conflict of interest as this position doesn’t restrict me from participating as a regional Council.
I’m also the lead Champion for the freelancer WG and this disqualifies me of being a council on the freelancer DAO.
