@wafrica is BLESSED with the most amazing team of people!
One of the very first people I talked to in Africa on Steem, was @jeaniepearl, soon after I first saw her TGIF. I was really blown away!
Such a cool charisma to her, she has style. OMG ;-)
The Style Queen in my book. If I need advice, I know who to talk to!
But of course, successful intelligent ladies, all the guys are after them, and they have no time. Always busy busy, too busy for love..
INTERVIEW WITH JEANIEPEARL
INTERVIEW WITH JEANIEPEARL
How did you learn about or find Steem and steemit.com?
A friend who is also one of my Crypto mentor Andrew STASH introduced me and many others to Steemit sometime in August. I had no clue what it was about just knew that it had to do with cryptocurrency which wasn't new to me. He is someone that has a versatile knowledge on opportunities online and whatever he shares is always onpoint. I joined without asking questions,later on they held a seminar and @amec was invited to the group to lecture us on what Steemit is about and how we can help eachother grow. We got talking and he assisted me on things and I needed to know and answered my questions, that was how the journey began.....
Had you ever used crypto-currency before STEEM and SBD?
Yes. The first cryptocurrency I ever used was Bitcoin during Zarfund days. I was the team leader of Zarfund Stars✨. The money I used to start up my account which was about 11 thousand naira is the only real cash I have ever put into cryptocurrency. We grew to an extent and I made some money. After Zarfund became too difficult, I quit cryptocurrency. One day another of my mentor boss Udeme sent me my first ever ETH with some encouraging words and I got motivated and interested in cryptocurrency again. I used the ETH to trade on bittrex did some ICO's and later got involved with airdrop. I was doing all that before I joined Steemit.
The name Zarfund Stars was created by me. Like I said, I was the team leader. We had a Facebook page, made fliers,banner and even T-shirt. We met once in a while and the team was doing great until Zarfund became difficult due to accounts expiring and increase in price of bitcoin.
Your weekly Friday TGIF Show has become a big success in my view; how did you get the idea for it?
Hahahahahaha.....am blushing thanks for the compliment. I was away from Steemit for a month because of my exams in school. During the break ideas kept flooding in,I even had a long list of topics I would write on,I just couldn't wait for the exam to be over. Before then my niche was just fictional stories,poem,life talks,motivation, and @steemit-virus contest. I had fans because I do socialise well and comment on others post and people always complimented my uniqueness in writing but I was scared that I was forgotten because of the one month break, so I needed something that will draw people's attention to me. Also I wanted to be known for something, wanted to have a brand. I picked up my pen and that's how the show and the programs involved came to birth. Infact it's supposed to be longer than this, @mimy was the only person I shared the idea with and she advised me to cut off somethings that it will be too lengthy that I can do them in a different show. I took her advice and gave out the other ideas to people.
Who are your role models in life, before you encountered the STEEM network?
Lol....I am one weird person. I don't even have an instagram account so I don't follow people. I believe everyone is unique so I shouldnt place anybody other than myself as a role model. I believe in mentorship tho....I learn from people, especially from people's mistake. I pick things from different people and grow. But my celebrity personality is Alex from Big Brother Naija. I know it's weird but she is the only one that can make me run to twitter to check what she is up to.
Tell us something of your life outside the Steem world?
Kikikikikikikiki. What do I say oo? OK.... Because of my activities online, people create a wrong impression of me.They expect to see one very fine outspoken lady, lol....all wrong!!! I am very shy,I can't speak in a crowd,even when I was the Vice President of my department in Yabatech, I never spoke. I live a simple life, there are lot of things 90% of people living on earth have done that I haven't. I tasted Coldstone ice-cream for the first time on the 15th of June, 2018. I have never had a birthday cake. I am a self dependent lady..... I am not good at writing about myself joor, I prefer hearing from people.
Please tell us what part of Africa your family is originally from?
Something about the local traditions?
We are Nigerians, from Uruagu Nnewi,Anambra State. My State people don't have weird cultures, I think we are the most admired state in Igbo land tongues awt. we are popularly known for ofe onugbu(bitter leaf soup),palm wine and ofe akwu (palm kernel soup).
What issues are important to you, as a Nigerian and African person?
I can't think of anything for now. I have never been in a situation where my origin stopped me from achieving anything. Our education system is scam but am not really bothered, by God's grace i will my kids the best.
Tell us about what you study now in university?
I am studying Agricultural and bio-environmental Engineering, shortly refered to as Agricultural Engineering. It is a combination of Civil,Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. A BSC holder in my course can choose to do his/her masters in any of the other field and can also get employed in any of the other field. But specifically, Agricultural and bio-environmental Engineering is the application of knowledge of Engineering in the Farm to improve production,efficiency of farming and make farm products available all year round. It has to do with mechanisation, use of tractors,machines, structurea etc. Agricultural Engineering is divided into five main groups
- Farm Structure and Environment
- Farm power and machinery
- Crop Processing and storage
- Farm Electrification
- Soil and water conservation
Is there anything else on your mind I have not asked you about you would like to comment on?
I want to appreciate you for finding me. You are one of if not my main backbone on Steemit. With how taskful my schooling is I probably must have disappeared from Steemit. Thank you so much for all you have done for me in the open and behind. Also thanks for your special love for Nigeria and wafrica, you might not know the weight of what you have done and are still doing in life of many, God bless you. I know I haven't been available of late and probably not doing up to your expectations but it's beyond my power and i will surely come back strong someday and cover for these days.
Thanks to everyone that has been supporting TGIF WITH @jeaniepearl by sending shoutouts, bottled messages and commenting on the show. You all are the reason I am still moving, thanks much,I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. I have not been the best follower, been really occupied but I will try my best to improve, thanks much, wish you all success in your endeavors.
This is amazing sir,she is a great inspiration,thank you so much sir for bringing us this wonderful interview.
This is amazing. @jeaniepearl is a star now. This is very beautiful and nice initiative coming from @surfyogi. When i interviewed @jeaniepearl in my Saturday dining with @adoore-eu, I concentrated on the food side of her. Thanks @surfyogi for letting us know the other side of her. Although her romantic life was not covered. Hahaha. Am @adoore-eu
I have been assured she is "daddy's girl", but maybe I can get her to dinner some time.
where do i begin Jeff??? how do i express my gratitude for this honour. First let me commend you for carrying out this awesome interview, not a bad first trial at all,you did great,keep it up please. You know you found me in a time when my mind was pondering......."does hardwork pay? is there a reward for putting in your best to things?" your prescence in my life gave an answer to all that, i cant thank you enough.
i want to use this opportunity to tell everyone never to give up on their dreams, be you,do you and yes put in your best in all that you do,the reward will surely come,there is always someone watching from a distant ......looking at the way i started steemit,i never saw myself being appreciated or interviewed by a whale,this means something to me.
Thanks to everyone that droped by with a touching comment for me, i read it all. i love you guys ,you are my inspiration.
I enjoyed every minute reading this!!!!! Superb!
Great madam.
You looking gorgious.
The beautiful Jeaniepearl.
One of the reasons I enjoy steemit more...
👍👍👍👍
Wafrica a home of peace love and happiness.
Steemit just the place to be
Ditto
I so much agree with everything you say!
That's the vibe for me..
Great interview from @jeaniepearl to learn a little more about his life and how his career has been up to here. Its beginning in Steemit I imagine that it was very promising since it had the necessary support to be able to grow in this community.
I would have liked to be able to read a little more about his personality or customs outside of Steemit, there is no doubt, you can tell that she is a fairly constant and fighter lady!
Go @jeaniepearl!!!
Smart pretty lady with so much ideas in there. Perfect definition of beauty and brains. We connected just right.
It was nice reading your interview. Thanks for bringing her on @Surfyogi.
A very beautiful testimony and interview. Wafrica really have the best team..thanks for this @surfyogi
yes man you have to to CHURCHES and talk about STEENM lkike it is a RELIGEON because honestluy it WIULL bring people out oif povertry, and anyone who buys or invests TIME into stee,m will be rewarded and it Might as well be a miracle from god so let us ue the power of the Churches to spread the word of STEEM imagine ministers all getting upvotes from their viewers OOOh theers fireeworks going off right now hahah just heard them! hahaha
Awwwww
@jeaniepearl you inspire me a lot.
I did Zarfund too lol and then btc investment.
You have come a long way, finish school oh so you can have our time. I want to learn at your feet.
Thanks for interviewing the interviewer @surfyogi
@surfyogi I am so grateful to Wafrica for getting me to meet someone awesome like you.
Lets I forget, I am also a part-time radio OAP. I have this crazy radio show idea I would love to start up, but i dont have what it takes to pull it off...
I will check up @jeaniepearl and lend her my support in any little way i can help. Until I get on my feet to run my own show or find somebody i can do it with
Yay!! I thought i'm the only one in love with Alex!!.
I enjoyed this interview, @jeanipearl, you have a lot to teach us, please have our time o, I'm with my pen and paper.😊
Such passion and drive to be successful is exactly what is needed to be successful
Whatever it is.. she got it.
Wooh she is intelligent @wafrica has brave people thanks for fishing them out @surfyogi
Very revealing. I never knew Jeanie is from Anambra and that she's shy to talk to crowd. I admired her from a distance before we came together on WAfrica.
Jeff, I've mentioned it several times. You got the skills of picking the right people for your team and I'm definitely proud to be working with Jeanie.
She's very talented and strong. Imagine combining our schooling work and Steemit. I am free to Steem all day but some days I just feel like taking a cab to the Atlantic and sleep on the beach for a month. But she's strong enough to handle Steemit with school. I'll give her some chocolate when I see her.
Really a very special article
It is beautiful when people remember the days of weakness and it is strong
It was really a difficult start and now it's easier
A very special article
Well done publishing
This is thoughtful of you @surfyogi to host @jeaniepearl the TGIF babe.
I love her courage and commitment to always coming up with new ideas.

@surfyogi weldone boss!
Really love to see our own from our soil doing fine....... though she's a shy type not known physically but according to her in the article, but I guess she isn't in her composure and write up, keep going @jeaniepearl one love from here.
@jeaniepearl is a great personality. She's a rare gem, I never knew she's an Igbo by tribe, I've always thought she's from the western part of Nigeria. Her being able to go this far on Steemit even with the academic demands has propelled me to dare to be more productive here too even with stressful and demanding academic pursuits.
Such a great word from @jeaniepearl I'm so motivated right now. Thanks to @surfyogi for this great interview. Looking forward to meeting you on wafro party show tomorrow sir.
