First, I want to extol greatly, your deeds of benevolence on this hallowed platform - Steemit. Having followed you for a couple of months now, I would boldly say without any iota of doubt that you are indeed an asset to the Steemit community and a ton of value to many human lives who have crossed your path.
This bunch of accolades goes to no other than @dorbatim, the initiator, and facilitator of this life touching contest. Your positive impact on the life of Steemians is worth commendation, and I pray for nothing but an expansion of your coast.
By way of introduction, I'm Victor, a young Nigerian undergraduate hoping to graduate soon. Besides being a student, I am a creative writer, a teacher in the making and a blogger.
The reasons why I need a laptop are not far fetched. As a final year student of the University, I've got tons of research work to do so as to get contents for my written project. I have assignments to type and blogging jobs to do, but unfortunately, I can't boast of a reliable device to carry out these enormous tasks.
Ever since I joined Steemit, December last year, I have been struggling to make posts and contribute consistently to the development of the community. While having a chat in school with my friend, @kazimyrex, he expressed shock at my slow level of growth on the platform, not knowing that the fire he saw had a smoke inducing it.
A year before last, I lost my mobile device. Late last year, I faced a similar woe and had to make this post where I commented that I lost my mobile device, when interrogated by @mitneb.
Going through my blog, one would notice that I have not posted on Steemit for well, over two weeks. Though my semester's exam is a factor, but the major challenge is a laptop or smartphone to make the Steem and school work easier. The device I use is use is borrowed, and you one can imagine the embarrasment that comes with borrowed properties.
I would be super excited if I can get donations from here to make this possible. I am a follower of @dobartim, I have upvoted and would resteem this post to make my entry valid.
Thanks in anticipation - Victor.
