Yesterday I attended one of the most organized and well planned meet up ever in Nigeria. starting from the calls I received from concerning my presentation, my accommodation booking call from
, a car to pick up to the venue (arranged by
), live travel support from
and
. I was basically receiving calls throughout the journey and I felt so loved.
was checking up on me via WhatsApp,
was constantly calling to check up on me and
was communicating with me via text messages.
I've held and attended several meetups, but I've not seen anyone that was well organized as this one was. sir, you did a great job.
My journey to Ibadan was approximately 4 hours (1-hour flight from uyo to Lagos, 3 hours by road to Ibadan from Lagos).
On arrival, picked me up and took me to the hotel. The first two persons I met there were

. We had a brief chat and I went upstairs and guess who I saw? I saw

The meet - up
The meet up far exceeded what I had in mind, I used to think uyo had the biggest and most organized community, nope, you need to see what these guys did mehn. Lol
Anyways I'm back to uyo and I willimplement the level of organization seen at the steem meetup in Ibadan.
The event had several speakers who spoke on several topics as seen below.
My presentation lasted for more than 20 minutes and within those approximately 25 minutes, I spoke on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency.
I gave a little history of Blockchain, the different Blockchains we have using steem, bitshares and EOS to the difference between coin and token.
Just in case you don't know the difference between coins and token,
coins are cryptocurrencies that have their own Blockchain, tokens are cryptocurrency that was built on another Blockchain. (there are more technical explanations to this, but let's just stick to this explanation for the newbies) .
Other speakers at the event

and the brain behind the success of

.
He started in Port Harcourt and extended it to Uyo and the next one will be in the Philippines and then Ibadan.
