STEEM MEET-UP IN LAGOS [A POSSIBILITY]

It is an extreme sport writing anything at this. Asides having a million and one thoughts streaming through my mind each day, that I find extremely difficult penning down, I have spread myself so thin to the point that I cannot keep track of some projects I have interest in.

There is a lot going on steem. I remember when steem had the semblance of a blogging site, it was quite easy to keep track of things. Watching things change drastically over the last few months has been thrilling and overwhelming at the same time. Thrilling in the sense that I do not have to write to earn steem, which if you ask me has not been very profitable--writing I mean, especially when compared with other activities and projects on the steem ecosystem.

However, this whole development has diversified and decentralized the ecosystem further. So basically, it is hard to keep track of everything. If you are heavily invested in steemmonster, chances are you would have little time to read or watch dtube video; if you are keeping track of developments on the steem ecosystem, chances are you do not have time for the fun stuff happening in and outside the ecosystem, like the steem-twitter campaign.

Personally, I have tried to automate a few things. Also, giving that I am more of a vlogger than blogger and I want to remain consistent in terms of creating content, I have decided to make more videos during the weekends and spread them across the week(s). So rather than make a video each day, I can simply make 4-5 a day. And no.l, this won't have a negative effect on my creativity. If anything, time is something I have got at this point--and ideas (to the point I forget some of them because they are much).

I will still try to write more articles. I think I have one or two on my note pad. I have just been lazy about typing them. Making videos is fun and a new way of expressing myself, and right now all I want to do is master the art of video-making.

STEEM MEET-UP IN LAGOS-NIGERIA

Yes, this is one of the things I have been thinking about and I think it is about time really. Part of my goal this year is building a stronger Nigerian steem community, which in my opinion does exist at this point. And yes I might be limited in terms resources but I think I can compensate for that with my ideas. I believe Nigerians can actively contribute to the growth of steem and I want this to be a reality. Unfortunately, cryptocurrency/steem hasn't lured the best minds from this part of the world. It has just been a case of people trying to pillage a fragile system and migrate when things go south. But I want to change this. At this point, steem-Nigeria needs leaders. I do not consider myself as one but I can set a pioneer a course that will bring these said leaders into the platform.

So about the meet-up in Lagos. On the last Wednesday on March (or April) I want to host 5-10 steemians who reside in Lagos. This will be a very casual event, nothing formal. As regards location, I am thinking about Leisure mall Surulere as a possible venue. We can all converge there, network, watch a movie and basically just get to know ourselves better and discuss ways of improving our steem experiences. I would be converting my liquid steem payout to fund this get-together. However, if you want to part of this initiative or support in any way, you can contact me.

So this is my goal for March. I don't know if this will be successful, but how will I know if I don't give it a try? So if you reside in Lagos state and you want to be part of this little get-together you can leave a comment in the comment section and I will contact you privately.

Also, I am open to better ideas and opinions about improving this said idea of mind.

Please resteem.
