Imo state was created on February 3, 1976 out of the former East Central state. It is named after the Imo River which flows from the uplands of the state around Okigwe into the Atlantic ocean. Imo state is located in the southeast region of Nigeria and its capital is Owerri which is its largest city. It is located between Anambra State in the North, Rivers State in the South, Akwa Ibom State to the East and on the West by Delta State.
It is nicknamed “the eastern heartland"
Imo state is part of Igboland and the original inhabitants are lgbos, a culturally homogeneous group. lgbo is the language spoken throughout the state with different dialects spoken in different parts. The capital of imo is Owerri.

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.

Well I didn't mean to make you salivate😜
So on a serious note you have to be at the Owerri meet up, organized by our own dear @eurogee and his crew. Let's make things happen at Owerri. Let's make them feel that change is here and will stay. I am a proud Imo born. Let's shake grounds there on the 17th of March, 10am prompt. No African time at all. So be punctual.
Remember that you will also see amazing places to visit and make some shopping if you want 😋. That is the spirit of steem in manifestation, although the walls are red for now but we ain't shaking.
Come with your friends so that we can continue to build that community we have always wanted in love and peace. This is one of the place we can find satisfaction. Steemit all the way!
Well done and safe journey. You will live long to enjoy the fruit of your labour in steemit. You have really worked hard to ensure that steemit moves up, your effort will not be in vain, IJN. Amen. Missing you infectious smiles and love already.
