On Saturday, 16th of December 2017, I made a Steem Presentation at Cryptohub Meet-up.
Cryptohub
Cryptohub is one of the fastest growing community of bitcoin traders and investors in Nigeria.
It is headed by Chris Ani. A bitcoin enthusiast who has shown exemplary character and leadership. He belongs to the tribe of Andrea Antonopolous.
My goal was to convince this auspicious company to use steemit and then invest in the Steem blockchain.
Chris Ani is also the co-founder of shopnow.ng. This is the first online marketplace that accepts only bitcoin as a means of payment in Africa.
I didn't embark on this adventure alone. I was duly supported by @ejemai the founder of STACH. This presentation is a contribution to the Steem blockchain and it is part of my way of supporting the vision to get 20million Nigerians to the Steem blockchain #project20millionnaija.
Online Promotion
This meet-up was promoted in various social media by cryptohub.club
I also promoted steem and this event on my facebook page. Below is the link to a facebook post I made about this event and steem. It generated about 100likes, and comments.

This is a screenshot from one of the interactions I had on facebook about Steemit.
The meet-up was held in Uyo and so I directed the new members to a notable community leader in Uyo. His name is @samstickkz.
Below is the link to the Whatsapp group where this new members receive guidance and camaraderie.

This is by no means an exhaustive list. There are many more who were unable to get in touch with me after the meet-up because I hurriedly left after my presentation to make another presentation on Steem in another event.
A Nigerian Investor Invests in the Steem Blockchain
As a result of this effort to create visibility for the Steem blockchain, a Nigerian investor has taken interest in investing in steem. The co-founder of shopnow.ng called me few days ago and told me that he would like to start accepting Steem and Steem Dollars as a payment option for his online shop. He is so excited! I am showing him how he can use the reward system in Steemit to incentives patronage in his site and customer loyalty. He is interested in buying a huge amount of Steem power for his account @shopnowng
I'm filled with ecstasy because this was my objective for making a presentation at Cryptohub meet-up. I'll share the details of this achievement in subsequent posts. I hope to get more investors, entrepreneurs, developers and social media influencers and celebrities from Nigeria into the Steem blockchain.
Thank you very much for reading.
