My First Visit To Benin City, #Steemcamp event and meeting with #steemjet music department
Hey guys, it's a cold Saturday morning over here in the busy city of Benin, Edo State, Nigeria. I travelled to Benin on Thursday to attend the #Steemcamp Miss Steem Nigeria Event by @michaelcj. Unfortunately, you will not be seeing photos about it as I had a little miscalculations that got me to Benin later through planned to, so I called @prettyjules158 to be there for @wafrica.
The Trip
I woke up by 3:00am to prepare but by 3:30am it was already raining so fierce we couldn't drive to the bus terminal in time, we finally got there by 6:00 but all the buses to Benin from Abuja were delayed for four hours. After what seemed like an eternity I finally arrived at Tips Bar in Benin where the #Steemcamp event was held.
Welcome To Benin
On arrival, I met @prettyjules, @juli1 and @michaelcj. We had a cold beer and quickly had some discussions with @prettyjules158 and @michaelcj. Mike is a wonderful guy, I am totally impressed with his work and stamina with the SteemCamp event. Please show him some supports, I'll talk more about his project in another post.
The evening was filled with lotta events, discussions and some more beers before I retired to my hotel.
Visit To Kada Plaza and Meeting #Steemjet Music Team.
I was planning to return to Abuja the yesterday when I received a call from @mrprecious and @etemi that they are in Benin and would want to meet with me. @mrprecious and @etemi are the leading members of @steemjet music department. Their voice can break glass and heal the sick.
We met at kada plaza to discuss important issues bothering the Steemjet music department. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. So, I already had vegetable soup and what they call Santana(fufu), so I opted for chicken and salad.
and visited to cinema to watch the movie Rampage
The movie was a bomb, I totally enjoyed every bit of it. Today, I'll take a walk with Jules to her popular mission road before heading back to Abuja. Thanks to @michaelcj, @prettyjules158, @juli1, @etemi, @mrprecious, and the two new Steemians I met at the hotel @bibiama and @mrglowz. You guys made it fun for me here.
I'm glad to know you had a wonderful time over there. Oh my, @prettyjules158 has a beautiful diastema, I can see @etemi, the one that keeps the whatsapp group bubbling.
Happy weekend guys
