I was given the honor to serve as a country representative for Ghana in about a year ago and since then i have been working in all capacities available to me to ensure that Ghanaians on the blockchain get the best from my work. I am optimistic that through this application i would be able to continue to do more in support of the growth of not only the Ghanaian community but the entire steemit ecosystem



A Little Biography



My name is Ben-Nathaniel Fosu, a recent Doctor of Optometry graduate and currently a Teaching and Research assistant at the Department of Optometry and Visual Science, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. I am 25 years old and I love music, reading, writing, and watching movies.

I am a crypto enthusiast and an aspiring trader, I play the keyboard, the trumpet, the euphonium, and the cornet. I am a typical sanguine, easy-going, and team player. I am a Ghanaian and I love my country because we are some of the most hospital people you will ever meet on the planet earth.



Activities on the platform



I found the steemit blockchain in April 2018, thus about 4 years ago, and since that time I had always been active on the blockchain. My activeness won my country representative title in the year 2021 and steem promoter for Ghana. Due to my activeness, I was able to secure support to start a philanthropic health organization known as bettervision from the blockchain and this has impacted tens of thousands of individuals over the years.

I always do well trying and share something with the community every day even when I am not able to do that I always make sure to go around to visit the works of others so I can support them in any capacity available to me. I love the blockchain and love to share which is why over the years I have been keen on steem promotion in the university where I schooled which say the likes of @neilito, @cosai99, @earlito, and a few others take up the passion of steem promotion also.

I have been the pioneer of many great ideas that has seen some great success in the Ghanaian community including the discord talks shows which facilitated steem promotional activities in Ghana, the steemit promo shirts from ghana, and steem promo books, as well as the steemit ID cards. Some of these successes were emulated by other countries including Nigeria (@ngoenyi) etc. To help engage members and promote quality writing I came up with the top 3 posts selection in the Ghanaian community which is something we still do now.

I also do well-sharing tutorials with newbies and old members alike when the opportunity presents itself and I help guide members too through comments so that they could learn and better themselves as time goes by. I do well to support members through curation daily and I also happen to have a club 75 status currently working my way towards club 100.



Own Steem Power



My effective steem power is currently 18,230.55 SP, 15,011.450 is what I have been able to accumulate through powerups, the rest are as a result of a delegation from steemcurator01.

I am happy to have been able to finally reach the triple dolphin and my next target is the quadruple dolphin. I am optimistic that this would enable me to be able to do even more for my country folks.



Reputation, Residency and Languages



Through dedication and commitment as well as support from the steemit team and my comrades I have been able to achieve a reputation of 72.698.

I am a Ghanaian by birth and I currently reside permanently in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. I am a native of the Twi language which is the most widely spoken language across the country. I am also fluent in English which is more or less the second language of the country. I can also speak, read and write French and I have an A1 certification in German.



CSI, Voting Pattern and Other Activities



As the curator for the steem-ghana community, I take extra interest in curation. This is something I do daily with both my account and that of the steem-ghana account. Accordingly to steemworld.org as at the time of this writeup my voting CSI was 14.4 with 132 upvotes to 76 accounts within the last 7 days with no self upvotes.

The steem-ghana curation account which use every day alongside my account to support Ghanaians also has a voting CSI of 13. with 110 upvotes to 59 accounts within the last 7 days with no self upvotes. This is a habit I have come to develop which forms part of my daily routine and I am keen that this will continue as the days goes by.

Aside from curation activities such as contest organization are one of the things I also do for the Ghanaian community. This is rotated between myself and my colleague every week, in addition to regular updates and lessons from our telegram and WhatsApp channels and other tutorials to help newbies.



Why I Think I Make a Good Country Representative



I believe that my experience as a country representative enables me to navigate the blockchain to give maximum support and effort to Ghanaians on the blockchain. I also believe that my activeness and hard work are a good sign of my dedication to my role as a leader and that should I be allowed to continue more good would come from my support to the community.

Again, my designation in the university where I am currently doing my teaching assistantship puts me in a good position to continue to spread the word of the blockchain to help with steem promotion. My accumulated steem power also puts me in a good position to be able to do even more for our members moving forward. I believe that when allowed to continue my work as a representative I would be able to evolve and bring even more goodness to the Ghanaian community.



Conclusion



I am grateful for the opportunities granted me in the past for me to serve and I look forward to more future opportunities to continue to render my services to the best of my capacities for the good of the Ghanaian community on the blockchain as well as the entire steemit ecosystem.

Thank you for your time.
