"Believe me Africa, Nigeria to be precise is really leading the way when it comes to steemit and adoption of steem”

IMG_20180305_185721_936.jpgIt was a great opportunity finding myself among the great African Steemians promoting steemit at the meet-up held at Ibadan, the first I ever witnessed. Steemians are great, no question about that. It's about a week now and ibadan meet-up is still making waves, what a great, awesome, glamorous, scintillating, stylish and biggest event in Nigeria only if those words are not an understatement to qualify the program. What an event to always remember.
Ibadan the capital and most populous city of Oyo state in South-west Nigeria. It was the next stop over for steemit meet-ups, and it took place on the 24th of February, 2018. The meet- up met up with my expectations, passed me and left me open mouthed. Prior to the day, so many awareness and announcement were made through various channels with blog posts on steemit, facebook and lots more. It will always be an unforgettable year for steemians in Africa, Nigeria to be precise as it gathered steemit from all walks of life under one roof.

TOPICS THAT WERE DISCUSED

There were a lot of topics discussed which are very interesting. It exposed me to both new and old things as no knowledge is a waste.

@nairadaddy also spoke on health and discussed some amazing opportunities that the #air-clinic discord channel has to offer. And how people that are already in it are enjoying the
Medical consultation with the push of a few buttons imagine that!

@nairadaddy presentation

@ejemai gave a speech about the best things about STEEMIT. He said steemit is about making memories such as memories of life, memories of friendships, memories of love, and even that of mistakes. I have to say, what an awesome speech sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@thelovejunkie talked about social etiquette on the STEEMIT community, she advised us to keep our conversations simple and very polite and make forming relations and friends more important than just getting upvotes.

@thelovejunkie

Steem abuse, flagging, plagiarism and tag abuse was treated by @gbenga . he said a lot of people abuse the flagging right nowadays and how some people plagiarize others’ work directly and indirectly, this should change ,as this is very bad.

He encouraged people to try as much as possible to create original posts as this will get them to greater heights and people should be mindful on how they flag others.
The beautiful part of the event is that, all the speakers gave good presentations and everyone looked so good at the event. Steemit brought us together from places all over the country and I'm very happy meeting new faces. Such as

@gbenga @thelovejunkie @ejamai @nairadaddy @tojukaka @honoumaus @lizbethk @ehiboss @michealcj @oluwatobiloba @gloglo @gee1 @ewuoso . and lots more of Nigeria’s great stemians a few of which I was opportuned to meet in person and some which I did not have opportunity to meet, I was left in awe with what steemians have achieved and the way they painstakingly took us through the whole event.

I so much love to capture my memories in pictures, so sit back and enjoy the little gallery I have put together of the event .
