Today I am talking about local guides program in Bangladesh and some of the Facebook groups - “Local guides Bangladesh” and “Local guides Bangla”. actually what they doing? well, local guides Bangla born because of the clash with some people of “local guide Bangladesh” Facebook group. As a result, some people parted from them and made another Facebook group named “local guides Bangla”. But both this group showing some common characteristics. both group admins express themselves in such a way that google assaing them in Bangladesh. but the important thing is that, they are moderator or admin in only Facebook group or page, not from Google local guide but they never tell it. they express themselves as a Moderator of Bangladesh. well, you may want to know, is there any local guide moderator from Bangladesh?

There are only two people from Bangladesh,SoniaK, and @SumaiyaZafrinC . Now ask yourself, did you find any name who are always introducing themselves as a local guide moderator from Bangladesh of those Facebook groups?
whole year they have very few activities but before connect live program they are very busy, That’s not a problem. problem rise in their meetup. now a days both of these groups arrange a series meetup, that’s also good but what’s going on in the name of the series meetup? In the name of Local Guides Connect some of the group admin smartly promote various kinds of marketing programs which are not related to the local guide program at all and the more interesting thing is they blaming each other that. one group is telling us to join this program and another group telling us it can be spam ! which one telling the truth ? Look at the picture :
To the general people of Local guides of Bangladesh, let me inform you that, both of these groups are not any official representative of Google local guides program. if you are interested in this voluntary local guides program than go to Local Guides Connect forum which is an authentic source of correct information. A lots of people joined their meet up but those group admins are never attending any meetup which is organized by them. why this is happening? because of the Local Guides Connect live program values those leaders who are arranges meet up. Very smartly they discourage you to arrange a meetup and encourage to join their meet up so that they become highlighted their profile on Local Guides Connect. They never told you to go to connect forum except writing about their meetup, they just told you to join their Facebook page for any problem. why this is? because, connect forum is their out of control but in the Facebook they can easily control you. these admins can write solutions in facebook but why not in connect forum ? or why not tell us to go to connect forum instead of Facebook? Is there any necessity of the Facebook group? because they want to be highlighted by their activities on Local Guides Connect. if any group admin post anything or any writing feature in the Local Guides Connect, they highlighted it on their Facebook page or group and request to all members write comments and provide kudos on it.
Both groups are build up their team and by little group of people, they control all Bangladeshi local guides. these so-called admins use you and me to highlight their activities and if anyone raises their voice they just ban him or her from their Facebook group. So dear local guides of Bangladesh who want to learn this voluntary program, go to connect forum, you don’t need to sir sir these bullshit admins. If you not ”sir sir” they may kick out from their Facebook group but trust me it doesn’t matter. Goggle even don’t know about these Facebook group. so, I requesting all the local guides in Bangladesh if you have any questions or problems ask on the connect forum than you will get the right answer. In the connect forum no one gives you the confusing answer because there are a lots of moderators who are check every single post. moreover, you can interact directly with that moderators. To be a good local guide you don’t need to maintain those Facebook groups anymore.
This is not the end. There have some business too. To attend those meetup, you have to pay 500 to 1000 BDT as registration fee. in return of this money you will get a t-shirt and some food Although, they told us there is a huge cost for the venue, but when you ask the venue authority they told, “there is no venue cost, if you buy food from them”. WHAT A BUSINESS!! well, let’s forget about the money. actually, what’s going on those so-called meetups? some of the senior local guides of those groups come in front you and encourage you to follow there local guide profile, like their connect forum post and told you what great thing they did, share their connect live experience that’s good but you can’t learn anything from those meetup.
after posting this post some of the people will comment, “this post is bullshit, providing wrong information … “ They will be the team members of those Facebook groups. Those people who knows little about Bangladeshi local guides program will understand it. At the end, let’s do an interesting thing, go to google.com and make a search with Google Local Guides Bangladesh Moderator. After reading this post you already know who is Google Local Guides Moderator from Bangladesh, except those 2 names you will find many names, these are the cheater. Be aware from them.
Thank you
But please tell about yourselfers.
