The forum is not as difficult as it seems, maybe when you build up your account and you begin to flash back at your naivety when your were a newbie you will just laugh it out. Be focussed, consistent, productive, informative and attentive. I can see you navigate more in the Nigerian Local board which is a good way to start with but you won't grow much if you just focus on your local board alone, engage in bitcoin discussions and other meaningful topics in the forum, with time you will earn merits and achieve your desired ranks. Do not be discouraged because most of us here also pass through the newbie stage so don't have inferiority complex, be bold when you want to learn something new and don't be afraid of being scolded when you make a mistake along the line.
