Great Steemians. Salutes. Bit by bit, things are taking shape. We are making progress in our preparations. You must appreciate our terrain with respect to Owerri City and existing zero awareness about Steemit program among the population. Many factors influenced @euronation team's decision to hold this MEGA MEETUP in this state, in spite of being full aware of zero awareness about Steemit program in the state.

When you consider the fact that this is a state with highest literacy rate among the 36 states of the Nigeria Federation, located in the middle of the other 4 Southeastern states of Abia, Ebonyi, Anambra and Enugu, and home to more than 6 universities and polytechnics, you have got to give every attention to it. Because when you must have succeeded creating awareness about Steemit in such a state, then the Steemit gospel would easily diffuse to neighboring states like a raging inferno, onboarding more people and enhancing value of Steem cryptocurrency. You get the gist.

Beside, this is my birth place, my origin and cradle. And so must be awaken and steer around to become a burgeoning community of ardent Steemians! We are capable! And we will have it done!

Brainstorming session on keynote topics

The preparation has already begun. Today I traveled to Obigbo, a 2-hour drive from my base, Aba, to consult with a member of #Euronation community, @chrisdsteemsport, on the possible keynote topics to be covered during the event. As you know; two heads are always better than one. And we are poised to cover all topics that will be of immense benefits to attendees.

@chrisdsteemsport and I were very excited to meet for the first time after I got him signed up by means of internet some months back😂🕺

We debated on topics and after nearly two hours of spirited deliberations on possible topics that would appeal to the audience, @chrisdsteemsport suggested we involve members of #Euronation! You see why two heads are better than one?! I literally forgot about this... I logged into the group room and threw the question open. And in less than 1hour, we were able to make a list of keynote topics to be covered. And they include:

• Interconnection between steem cryptocurrency, steemit and blockchain technology.

• The emergence of SMT and the usage

• Account Security and avoiding phising baits

• Tags and their application to posts

• SP delegation: Definition and relevance in community growth

• Flagging and how to avoid being flagged

• Bandwidth issues: any solution to this quagmire?

• Smart commenting in relationship building

• Witness Education: who are witnesses; their roles and relevance in stability of steem blockchain & why witness voting is important?

• Brief explanations of different projects built on steem blockchain, with focus on Utopian-io, Dlive, Dtube, Air-clinic, Dmania, Zappl, Dsound, Busy.org, Steepshort, etcx

• Brief explanation on different avenues to register on Steemit. (This is intended to introduce prospective Steemians on different ways to get started on Steemit).

In the days ahead, each of these topics will be communicated to various speakers to enable them prepare well ahead of time to be able to deliver quality talks.

Update on organizing committee

I do not reside in Owerri. I have stated what motivated us in @euronation to do what we are currently doing for Owerri residents under the auspices of @euronation umbrella. And for this event to be a success, there is a need to set up an organizing committee.

As of yesterday, we were only 8, today the number has increased to 16 volunteers, which is very impressive.

• Are you in Owerri? This is the best opportunity to be counted; opportunity to get recognized for what you are doing for Steemit.

• I need 20 people, and now we're 16 remaining just 4. Will you be among this? Stand up and be counted!! Join our whatsaap room now through below link!

Call for support

This is a virgin state where none has been heard about Steemit. We are working to set up an active community here. So far, all preparations being made have been funded from the proceeds of @euronation community account, my own earnings here and 10 Steem donation from @adoore-eu.

210steem was budgeted for this event when the price was still 1 steem to $3.4. Now that the price has gone southwards, it would cost more to organize this program.

We seek your support in any way you deem fit. For breakdown of how the money is going to be used, kindly click here. All donations should be sent to @euronation community account. Thanks.

Yours truly,
@eurogee
