RE: STEEMFEST TICKETS FOR SALE - Entry visas for @wafrica DENIED! Please purchase SteemFest3 Ticket from @surfyogi

in #steem6 years ago

We have work to do in Nigeria, and so the uphill task of making all relevant bodies acknowledge block chain technology and its product (steemit) is ON. @lordjames i saw you post and i believe that the rejection you guys experience is a shame and due to the ignorance of bodies like the embassy about what the steemit platform is and its backing technology. i suggest we find a way to procure adverts e.g billboards around Abuja and other cities to both promote SIN2 and let the entire public know about the disregard shown by the embassy towards an international movement (not slanderous, just stating the facts and our belief that this occurred due to their ignorance of our work and an invitation to the general public on our seminars at SIN2). i hope @surfyogi @roelandp and @lordjames thinks this idea is an okay one, i also think for the next SF it should be held in South Africa as Nigeria isn't ready for it (we still need to create the hype first) but SA already has a framework where the technology already functions and, would understand with applicants who wish to attend from all African, Asian, American and EU countries.
