I will love to give a very big appreciation to God and to everybody who was present at the Abuja Mega Steem Workshop and Meetup. It was indeed a successful event.

Arrival of Guests

I and @xpency was at the hotel where we picked our guests, we had to stay up late expecting calls from all invited guests; most were visiting Abuja for the first time.

@xpency left the hotel back to his house around 11pm while I had to lodge at the hotel because our Event Mc ( @mediahousent) was to arrive Abuja around 4am.
This was because he just rounded up his final exams around 5pm and had to jump on the next bus coming to Abuja around 8pm.

Abuja is about 8 hours drive from Ife where he schools

It was his first time visiting Abuja, we couldn't afford to leave him unattended.

A Summary of What Went Down

It was a wonderful meetup, as everyone present left the venue charged by our Nigerian steemit bosses.

@ehiboss delivered a wonderful introduction to steemit as some people present were hearing about steemit for the very first time.
