How Steem has impacted in my life to me is grace divine and more blessings that I have to bear testimony to the whole World today. I was thinking of how to get a platform to announce this great testimony to my fellow Steemians, lo and behold this intiative has come at the right time. Thanks to @theycallmedan, @ocd and @mindtrap for empowering this Steem promotions.


My journey with Steem has been wonderful as I always say and think about it. Indeed God knows how everybody is positioned at a place where he is at the right time and you never understand this. Because, I'm located at a sabburb away from Kumasi which is a large city in Ghana. It's at time very hard to catch network for browsing, let to here of such great blockchain opportunity being announce by somebody. Though as a young teacher receiving salary at every months, with my wife and two children, life was unbearable for me, since my wife was jobless. I was finding more avenues to move from my comfort zone. I was more aggressive and eager looking for second job that can support my teaching work. This drove me to pump my money into other network marketing like Earn Global, Herbal life, Tienshy and Max International which were by then introduced to me been the best to grow your income. At the end they all couldn't help me and my money was locked up there.


**What caused my doomed and shameful moment?**
This was what nearly brought my doom and great shame which might not be wiped away. With time, people started introducing online bisinesses tantamount to ponzi scheme, and a fresh innocent in the midst of tiggers, by all means I would be consumed. Since I was naive, myopic and knows nothing about online business or ponzi scheme, when these *Earnit, BitWorld and Givers* came my scanty money I've been accumulated I had to push everything into this business expecting higher returns. The worse part was for me that I did was to collect Bank loan to upgrage myself to a higher rank. Meanwhile, I did not claim most of my profit, but rather used them for upgrading waiting to earn more and more profit. Just after few days of pumping that huge money into the system, they just froze everything deceiving us that they were upgrading the system. That ended the life span of these businesses. And my money was just wasted.


Now, my shame which nearly led me to prison was to indulge myself in certain connection in order to get job for my wife. I was deceived for the second time, the connection wasn't genuine one. My money was locked up with the connection. I was caught in the police custody which I was been charged as an attempt of impersonation. I had to spend  a lot of money to escape that jail. But, God being so good, I must bear testimony to the fact that if not Steem Blockchain that I met way back May 2018, I couldn't have escape from all these shameful situations. Because my source of income(salary) was nothing to write home about; it has already been exhausted at my mother Bank before I get notification that they have paid into my account. I mean the salary was insufficient to solve my problems which were pending. Though Steem was by then not all that fetching us much in terms of prices, but at least those who were hardworking saw the real value of Steem.

I can't leave this post ago without introducing the one who helped me to see this light here in Steem; @bigssam. As I revealed earlier, Nsuta-Sekyere Central District is just a sabburb of Kumasi, a small community which I always boast of having blessed my life, since there are many people out there in cities that haven't heard of Steem. I' m fortunate to have this gentleman-@bigssam who is very passionate about I.T stuff and social media business. He kept me informed about how people have been making money in this crypto and blockchain business ealy 2018. By then he had been registered in the ealy 2017 and chopping money in steem.

I've never regretted in Steem Blockchain here since it has saved me from a lot of unbearable situations. I side rescueing me financially, I enjoy freedom and happiness than any other social media, and this one side that I want to comment over other social media and other decentralized application. Everybody is an entrepreneur of his or him self, since every steemian has his or her own accounts, many his own steem, he or she is a determiner of when he or she will produce content. Everybody has the equal opportunity to make money here in Steem, and that is the reason why Steem Blockchain is better than the other social media and an idea project one should invest for better future.
