What's up, folks! I hope y'all had a lovely weekend and staying safe wherever you find yourself.
Once again I want to welcome y'all to a new month - July. Another beautiful week here. And we're just a few days into July and there seems to be a lot of challenges ahead, at least for my family and me. This is about my sibling's admission for his post-graduate study at Teesside University, Middlesbrough, England - a story for another day. I may come calling for help and I hope to receive your assistance.
My goal for the new month is to raise enough money to make the required payment and expenses so my brother can accept and secure his admission abroad. This will be a positive change for the family, the best thing to have happened since dad's death. We can't afford to lose this opportunity.
It's a new week and here at the Patronage, it begins with the announcement of the new beneficiaries. But before that, let me share this piece of poetry without you.
The day they'll cease to exist again
The day they’ll cease to exist again
Happiness in our mouths
Smile on our faces
For our desert shall grow grains again
Our story shall be rewritten
The day they’ll cease to exist again
The living ones shall be stoned
Their names shall turn anti-goodness
Silence for their pending generations
The day they’ll cease to exist again
The revolution shall make us champion
We shall call ourselves the winners
Our livelihood shall appear in good colour
Hurray! For we’ve finally conquer
Who are they?
The Triumphant of several trials
Yielded victory by the glaring liars
The floor was swept by broomers
Who came to spot flaws of umbrellas
What have they come to do?
They all came with some worthy words
Then locking our mouths with swords
Making Nigeria one of the odd wards
How? We’ve listened to the wrongs
What are their offerings?
The Democratically elected robbers
Maximizing the insecurity numbers
Magicians of serial joyless wonders
Showcasing major talents; the Looters!
All these looters, Shooters and,
The uprooters of our resources
The day they cease to exit again
Our land shall be endowed with love and unity.
Back to the Patronage
This is the 27th week of the Patronage initiative. And the beneficiaries of the previous week were @Bloghound and @Peter-Molnar. The week has been quite busy for me, so I couldn't visit each day but I was able to tip all the articles they published within the week with as much as I could afford to give at the time. I subscribed to the two users and offered sponsorship which is currently active.

My appreciation goes out to the users who made out time to nominate other users. Thank you, guys. You can rest for now until when I come again to announce the next nomination round and I am confident you will answer my call. Thanks once more.
As for me, my work continues. I have to follow the two beneficiaries through the week to subscribe, sponsor them, read and tip their posts with the little amount I could afford to give at the time.
Below are the benefits offered by the patronage initiative to the weekly beneficiaries. The nominators (users that nominated them) are not left out.
Subscriber(s): I will subscribe to the beneficiaries and hopefully, other users will also get to subscribe to them.
Sponsorship: I will send a sponsor offer to both users and it's up to them to accept or reject the offer. Note: You have to activate your sponsor block to be able to get sponsored.
Tips: lastly, I will read and tip up to 7 articles published by the beneficiaries within the week.
Nominators Bonus: The users who participated in the nomination rounds by nominating other users are not left out. Their nomination comment will be tipped by me. Also, those that nominated the users that became beneficiaries of the week will get an extra tip.
A few more things
To encourage users to participate in the nomination round, I will tip comments, especially nomination comments that give reasons for nominating the users.
I will only tip articles written in English. I can't tip what I can neither read nor understand.
The tip amount depends on the quality of your article. And I reserve the right not to tip your articles. As much as I want to support users to publish more, I also want to encourage them to stick to a level of quality which we will all appreciate.
Yes, you can vote for the same users as the user before you. As the more nominations, a user gets, the more his/her chances of topping.
I have to end this here for today. I will return soon, to seek your assistance again in nominating some users for the initiative.
Thank you all for the continuous support.
Stay safe everyone and have a lovely week!!
Love and Support.
