I had to tell you a little about imo sate, because that is actually my state of origin and I am proud of my origin. Coming down, imo has Owerri to be it's capital and surprisingly where this meet up will be taken place. Just like me, I know you would be asking or saying, "of all the places why Owerri ?
well the answer is not far fetched. One can not help but notice the richness and unique decor of Imo state. Apart from their beautiful women Owerri also have beautiful places, rich food and good environments.
I am excited because this will be more like a visit to my home land again and a way of making it's people benefit from what steemit is offering. I feel it's about time my people knew steemit. I feel real honored that I was contacted for this meetup to come speak. I will be speaking on witness and it's relevant to the block chain .
I look forward to seeing you all in my homeland, be rest assured that you will enjoy your stay. Some of the foods you might want to eat are, ofe-ugba , a kind of soup made with assorted meats, fishes, vegetables of your choice and ugba (oil bean).
We also have the popular ofe Owerri, very tasty and rich as well.
