Steemit In Nigeria: How it Went Down Plus A Failed Love Journey

in #promo-steem7 years ago (edited)

I have come to give you a little gist on the events that took place at Ile Ife where steemit In Nigeria was held.

I am a fan of good things so i just had to attend the SIN program, even though it was a far distance from where i live. I still had to go. Another reason was that i wanted to meet my fellow steemians that we have only been chatting on discord and whatsapp.

I finally embarked on the journey. I decided to take a selfie.

After which i remembered i was still in the daily selfie contest organised by @papa-pepper. I decide to go to my farm and take a selfie with my pig since the theme was "piggy nose"

I continued my journey. It was a very long one. I already had my friends waiting for me @sweetestglo-eu, @bob-elr, @honourmaus and they were constantly calling me. I got to the place late in the night and it much so much love. They were happy to see me as i was also happy to see them. We could easily recognise each other as we have been seeing each other's pictures.

The Movie

We went to see a movie later in the night. It was a lovely movie titled baby driver. I have been wanting to see the movie a long time but steemit has always tied me down. the movie was interesting and we were served pop corn a drinks during the movie. We left the cinema and headed to our hotel.

The fun i have been having made me forget that i had not eaten since i started the journey so i decided to order for food in the hotel. Mehn the food was freaking expensive. It costed #1250, something i could have gotten for #300 at another eatery but due to the fact that it was late and i had no choice. I decided to take it.

I did not remember to take a selfie b4 but that is an after dinner selfie. I had Cemo, egusi soup and goat meat.

I had little chats with my friends that were there. @royal-finest, @harbysco, @bollutech, @hounourmaus and @bob-elr, @sweetestglo-eu was alrewady sleeping and did not even follow us to the cinema.

after a while, i decided to head to my hotel and i took a selfie. It was a good night selfie.

We started the second day with a visit to a restaurant for breakfast. It was a lovely and nice restaurant.

After the breakfast we headed to the conference. It had great steemians like @destinysaid, @ehiboss, @fisteganos, @gbenga, @tojukaka my mentor who explained steemit to us in details.

Also the were videos from @lukestokes, @maryfavour and @papa-pepper who talked about what steemit meant to them.

It was my first time seeing most of these people especially @tojukaka who i have been dying to meet.

Quite a community you have there! Events like this are great for connecting with other steemians. Just curious, in your conference is there anything about outreach to non-steemians, or were there people introduced to steem for the first time? Again, very cool, thanks for sharing!

yeah it was mainly to get the message out to non-steemians. it took place in a university. a number of people came
