The Meet-up
The Steemit Ibadan Meet-up/workshop was a success! It was a humongous success. It was held on the 18th of November 2017 at the University of Ibadan Alumni Multipurpose Hall, University of Ibadan, Nigeria.
The purpose of the meet-up was to have an educative interaction on the Steem Blockchain and Steemit. The meet-up was highly interactive. About 25 people attended and they ranged from Cryptocurrency enthusiasts to people who didn't even know what Cryptocurrency is. We had to abandon the prepared programme for most part of the event and just discuss based on the needs of the people in attendance. So most of the program was Q & A. We tried as much as possible to meet the needs of the people in attendance.
@ejemai (the Steem Nomad) traveled 10 hours all the way from Port Harcourt to attend our meet-up in Ibadan. He is such an inspiration to me personally and he makes Steemit come alive. He was a crucial part of the meetup. I call him the 'Steem Nomad' because he has traveled to other parts of the country(Lagos and Uyo) to attend their meet-up. I wonder where he would go next. He gave a talk on the meaning of Steem and Steemit and he anchored part of the Q & A.
@gbenga and @honomaus also travelled from a far distance to grace the event.
Towards the end of the meet-up @thelovejunkie gave a powerpoint presentation on the topic: “the Etiquettes of Steemit”.
@surpassinggoogle was very supportive towards the meet-up. I requested that he do a video for the event and despite his busy schedule and the fact he was with his mother in the hospital, he squeezed out time to share some words with us.

THE IBADAN STEEMIT COMMUNITY
The meet-up was just a small part of a grander plan to establish a vibrant community of Steemians in Ibadan. There is still a lot to be done in growing the community. The Ibadan Steem community is set for rapid growth now and I am just going to point out some factors that will enhance the growth of the Steem community in Ibadan.
STACH
@stach means Steem Accelerator Hub. It is basically an offline hot-spot, hub and store for Steem and Steemit. It is more than that.
During the course of this meet-up I was able to understand the vision of STACH and from where I am standing, it is HUGE. The Steem Accelerator Hub in Ibadan has already been established. It is already in the works and in due time it will manifest.
I love what @stach is set to do because it is going to bring a lot of empowerment to the youths in Nigeria.
The University of Ibadan
The University of Ibadan is a key part of the plan to build a vibrant Steemit community in Ibadan. I would rather not unviel some of the plans we have to make Steemit trend and go viral in the University. There are a lot of bright minds in the University and Steemit needs those minds. STACH will have its offline hub outside the University but there is going to be some more campaign to publicise Steemit and help a lot of students get in on this blockchain media.
Appreciation
I must give special appreciation every steemian who came for the meetup and especially to those who put in a little more than the necessary amount of effort to make sure that the meet-up was a success.

Steemit all the way. The steemit community in Nigeria needs to expand. I love the passion and enthusiasm some of us put into it. I can't believe @ejemai travelled all the way from Ph to Ibadan for the steemit meet up, he came to Uyo for ours too. That guy inspires me, with people like him, @tojukaka, @samstickks and other dedicated Nigerians, the future of steemit community in Nigeria is bright. Maximum respect @ejemai, @stach all the way

It was a good thing that some of the attendees didn't have any idea about cryptocurrency. In this way, steemit have the chance to reach the general population. Great job.
