Hi @TaofeekOseni

I am very surprised about this post, this cannot be you, I think. I read very carefully your first post, your aim for helping others, so I want to share my thought with you.

What does it mean Local Guide?

Local, because we have a personal knowledge of our places

Guide, because we share our experience for other to benefit of it

Guiding others is an ethical experience, in which we are sharing our content, as well indicated in The 5 core values of Connect. We are original, and we produce by ourselves the contents that we share on the community. Only if strictly need (and this is not the case), we share in our post contents produced by other. In this case, we give full credit to the authors, that was taking time and using his own knowledge to produce it.

Like in this post. I am not providing the link to the food blog that is the original version of this post. I think this is something that you have to do, editing your post and giving full credit, in a clear way.

Thank you for your attention
