Welcome to Steemit, Linda.

It can take some time to get traction on the platform. Make sure you participate as well as write posts: upvote on posts and comments and take the time to comment. You will find if you do so, you will gain steem much faster than if you just write.

That, said, I've followed you. I'd like to hear more about life in Nigeria from a Nigerian rather than filtered through our western POV.

Welcome, once more, from California in the USA.
