GM @arc Architects! What About Northern Nigeria? 🇳🇬 I want to bring two issues to the attention of the @arc team and the Nigeria Country Leads. First, around 10+ physical events have been held in Nigeria, but none of them has been held in Northern Nigeria. Nigeria has 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. Almost all the events have been held in the South, with only one in Abuja. There are many Architects in Northern Nigeria, and some of us have been contributing to Arc since the early days. Yet, there is still no discussion about holding an event in the North. Northern Nigeria has 19 states, while Southern Nigeria has 17. Ilorin is the only place in the North where an event has been held, and it is close to the southern part of the country. I believe Architects in the North deserve the same opportunity to participate in physical events. The second issue is the selection of local leaders and chapter contributors. I have seen people on X saying they have been contacted about these roles, but many of us who have been contributing to Arc since the early days have not received the same attention. I joined Arc on October 28, 2025, and started contributing towards the end of November 2025. I spent over 15 hours a day in the Discord server, helping new members and guiding them. Any early and active member in the Arc Discord knows me and the contributions I made. Back then, the community was much smaller, and I would stay active, waiting for people to ask questions so I could help them. The server also had a two-hour timer at the time. My contributions were one of the reasons I received Tier 2 on the first day of the Architect program. I was also active on X, and throughout these months, Arc has been the only project I have focused on contributing to. Now, I see people being contacted for local leader and chapter contributor roles, including some who joined after the Architect program started or after the funding announcement in May. Some have spent far less time contributing to Arc than those of us who started early. I believe my contributions and experience should also be considered for these opportunities. I am not asking the team to take any role away from anyone. I am simply asking the Arc team and the Nigeria Country Lead to look into these issues and give early contributors a fair chance. Early contributors should not be forgotten. @silencexlm @CarbzXBT
