Let me tell you a story...

So a few weeks ago, I got a call telling me about something related to Steem that was to happen in Ibadan, Nigeria. It was billed to be the best meetup yet. The voice on the other side sounded so sweet and it felt like it was all hyped and too good to be true. The promises were so high and seemed way too impossible to achieve but there was only one way to find out.

---

I had to be there to see for myself so I checked for the details and embarked on the journey down to Ibadan. On getting to this big city, where I knew nowhere, I had to rely on asking around for directions. Some Good Samaritan finally helped me find my way and I was at the venue.

---

I sat down like a boss. I must say the environment was awesome. The organisers get an A for venue. I was so lucky to have come early enough as people began to troop in in their numbers and before you could spell STEEM, the hall was filled to capacity. I was impressed and I had to show it!

---

After several hours and all the hype, food was nowhere to be found. Can you imagine that? I thought they said there'll be lots of food and drinks over here? The best meetup yet? Never! This must be the best scam yet. I was so pissed at this point but no one seemed to care. They just went on talking about all this Steemit bullcrap.

---

You think I'm lying, come see the chat on my phone. Guys see o, can't you see? They actually specifically mentioned that there'd be more than enough food. I had no idea where all that promised food had gone to hide. Or was it on that Israelite journey? 🤔

---

Moments later, I felt re-energized! I had seen something that looked like food coming through. I wasn't sure but my instinct is rarely wrong. The excitement couldn't be hidden. Oh my goodness!! Food is on its way!!!

---

Oh yeah the food came and my instincts were right yet again. There was pizza and small chops and drinks. At the time this picture was taken, my drink was the only surviving item available to feed your eyes with.

---

My people say something in the line of "Once food is taken away from a man's problem, his problems are over". I don't know if what I wrote is a legit saying but it was true in my life. As soon as food was settled, I could then show my real face. So I sat down and listened to the speakers talk. Looks like I learned something.

Did you attend the Steem Ibadan Meetup? If you did, do drop your comments on your thoughts as regards the event. How would you rate it/ how big of an impact did it have on your life. Is it the best organised meetup yet?
