INTRODUCTION

This is a Steemit powered event through @steem-lagos . But a community effort to expand user base in Nigeria.

Yesterday was the official opening of Steem Accelerator Hub @stach In Port-Harcourt Nigeria, We at Lagos feel sad not been present at the grand commissioning but we are extremely glad and proud. If you missed the commissioning update check the link below:

SIN event is in weeks time, and we sure have an obligation to get more youth in on this beautiful jolly Steem-ride.

Now, many Steemians in Lagos had mandated @steem-lagos to carry them along in other Steemit Activities in the City of Lagos Nigeria- here is your chance beautiful people!

Taking Steemit into the street of Lagos is a Major task we must confess, but an achievable one, then imagine to have a gathering of mixed Citizens i.e Steemians and non-Steemians in one sitting? Sounds like a familiar thing but with a strategy and a twist- Then how do we get new/potential Steemians together in one place at a time? Magic? Conjuring?

MISSION

The Global Mission for Steemians is to spread the Word all over the World to break the 1Million user milestone before the End of this year/Early 2018. And we have set a realistic target for ourselves-the @steem-lagos crew to take steemit into the corners of the Lagos busy City. Therefore, the workshop is targeted at getting 100-200 new users per episode.

THE VIRAL EFFECT STRATEGY

For the Steemians that resides in the City of Lagos and the Growth of the Community is very paramount to you, this is our chance to do something "BOOM" for Steemit- The More the Merrier!

How it will work: Let's say i have two people I've been talking to about Steemit, and i just manage to bring them along to this @steem-lagos workshop. Say 20 Steemians attends and each brings one or two potential Steemian to this workshop, let us all do the calculations together:

• 25 people-Steemains wants to attend

• Bringing 1 or 2 not yet on Steemit individuals along

• Multiply that by 2 = 50 approx

• That is additional 25 users in two hours coming on board

• What do you think if 50 or more Steemians show up with 1 or 2 extra friends?

• And this is the first roll-out, we planned to do it occasionally

PLAN B

So to supplement "The Viral Effect Strategy", we created a Social media add pages for a wider coverage in awareness, the target is more youths wasting time on Multiple social media, so we want to harness that and make it a work plan for the success of the Workshop.

Now this are the effects of the Viral effect, a more realist figure that is Steemians in the City of Lagos really wants to be carried along and each brings a friend or two. A 4 figure population would be some sort of Exaggerations and an intent to deceive the Community. But this is a much realistic strategy, there is a 65% positive result if other things being equal.

AIMS-OBJECTIVE

Community help and Grooming African/Nigerian newbies is our task plus our ultimate intention to enlarge Steemit user-base in the city is paramount, so we came up with a practical approach to bring more people in, we support all ongoing Nigerian Project and we hope they have the same view as us. @steem-lagos workshop 1.0 is the first of it's kind and a flagship series which will be running non-stop till Steemit Worldwide Surpasses the one million Users target.

As part of our community service, @steem-lagos announced couple of days ago to help newbies with their token conversion to Naira; only a few had shown interest- But it's a task as part of community building efforts. Please to visit the Terms and Conditions click below:
