One Picture And One Story Week #64"

This picture happens to be one of my recent snapshots and I'm so loving it since it drives a luxury of memories in my head. This was taken on the 30th of November 2024 in a national steemit meetup, for Nigerian users. The first national gathering of its kind in the history of our existence on the platform. It can not be forgotten in a hurry or anytime soon. However, I would like to share with us some of the memories it goes with.

The journey started 90 days before the day of this capture, which happens to be our well-structured and organized national meetup. It all started from the usual city meetup before I pushed for a national integration. A dream that I saw through with my capable co-bosses in the planning. We handled this national assignment and delivered it as expected, to the amazement of all who attended.

It showed us that we can achieve anything we desire collectively. An anchor on the saying that there is stronger strength in teamwork. Since this was the first of its kind, there are many other things we felt would be best attached to it if hosted again. We cannot remove the far-reaching ideas since the end of this. But let's get to know what happened in the event.

All pre-arrival happened on the eve, and the next day at exactly 2 pm WAT, the gathering of all steemian for the event was activated. By 4 pm, we've already started streaming on the official discord group for those who couldn't make it and other nationals who believe and trust us in our activities. A brief identification and attendance by all steemians in the event were made, with a "master of ceremony" who was among us coordinating the event.

While doing this, we also called out the management of steem4nigeria, steemkids & parents, and steem reps to the decorated table. This was to bring ambiance and good sight views to the event. Immediately after this was done, we got started with the activities of the day which presented to our users the need for steemit, how to engage the platform, and also promote it for the collective interest of all. Since we believe in the platform that has given us so much, we needed to also reciprocate to showcase steemit to the world through meets and activities tailored for such purpose.

This snapshot happened when I stood to present on the need to promote steemit for wilder user participation. A good example of what we already have in Uyo city. I commend these active city users for their great work and also encouraged other city users to emulate this move for greater presence and participation in their locality. We strongly believe this would be our focal progress when we jointly drive this initiative.

It all ended with fun, dancing, exchange of pleasantries, contact sharing, and group pictures. It was.l indeed a memory to live on with. This shared image is. An embodiment of an entire event that happened on the said date, from planning to execution.

Thank you...

I wish to invite @sduttaskitchen, @dexsyluz, and @max-pro.
