I don't know if this sounds crazy but I think it's the right thing to do. 
Hive account@surfyogi had tried to pull some steemians from the African community especially from Nigeria, unfortunately for some reasons it didn't go through. Unfortunately too, we missed ourselves, I really wished I met him. But we didn't.
The steemit in Nigeria meet-up was a great one for the Nigerian community put together by 
Hive account@ehiboss. I for my part enjoyed meeting spot of great steemians.
Well let's talk about steemfest and Africa. Earlier today, 
Hive account@ned was asked a question on the live stream of bridge test, about steemfest coming to Africa, he gave a resounding "I don't know" answer that made it seem impossible.
He did say that we should ask 
Hive account@roelandp. It's also good to know that Hive account@ned had visited South Africa for strength Saturday.
Well, I love the whole narrations from steemfest3. There was so much support from all over such as 
Hive account@anomadsoul, 
Hive account@blocktrades 
Hive account@sndbox 
Hive account@goodkarma just to mention but a few. I also think that at 
Hive account@suesa put up one of the best compilation for steemfest3. Please read: https://busy.org/@suesa/my-steemfest-3-recap-and-a-long-long-list-of-people

I would love to see steemfest happen in Africa. Therefore I urge Hive account@roelandp to support us with all he can and request that he approves steemfest-Africa1.
Why Steemfest-Africa1?
The steemAfrica community is large, while South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana being the largest out of steam activities so far. I think it would be a great sight to see how various Africans communities can network and build bridges of coexistence to move steemit forward in Africa.
In this event we would also look forward to see some great steemians from around the world and Hive account@ned in attendance. This will strengthen African communities and build up dying steemian spirits across the continent.
This will also bring reassurance to steemians across board that together we can build a decentralized community of people willing to bring great ideas together for sustaining development and also support projects emanating from African roots.
I also hope this program and meet-up would hold around june/july to allow ample time for preparation of steemfest4.
I sincerely hope that Hive account@roelandp considers and approves this request as it will mean alot to us in Africa.
I might not be in a better position to host this, except I am considered worthy, hence I would recommend to work with the organizers of sin2 (Hive account@ehiboss) that is steemit in Nigeria. I would also be glad to offer my assistance in any way possible.
Yours truly loved,
Hive account@iconnelly.
