My Photos and Experience at #SMAA Social Media Africa Awards

The maiden Social Media Awards Africa #SMAA took place on Saturday, 24th of January 2015 and I feel so honored to be at the event as a finalist for the Blogger of The Year Award. Even though I didn't make the list of the winners, it was fun to meet other finalists as well as other great names that attended the welcome dinner, the summit and the awards ceremony.





Africa’s best from various sectors were at the summit session on Saturday morning to discuss, analyze and forge a new development path for Africa through social media. During the Award ceremony tagged ‘Night of Virtual Wonders’ Fifteen (15) out of the Forty-three (43) Finalists from across the continent were rewarded with award prizes for the featured 15 Awards across 4 Categories for the 2014 edition of the awards which opened with a continent-wide call for nomination and recorded over 3,000 entries accounting for about 923 nominations.



The organizers of the #SMAA paid for the flight ticket and also paid my hotel bills from Friday evening till Sunday morning. We were lodged at Lilygate hotel, Lekki phase1 and the hotel room I stayed cost N30,000 per night. The welcome dinner (on Friday evening) and the summit (on Saturday morning) took place at the hotel.

I was so tired when arrived the hotel on Friday evening. I took my shower, took a nap and by the time I could wake up, they were almost through with the welcome dinner. I met them dancing and taking photos though. It was that evening I met @omojuwa for the first time in person. That night, Sterling Bank presented a gift pack to all nominees which include a mobile phone.

The Social Media Africa summit took place from 9am till 3pm on Saturday. It was at the summit that I met the guys from Kenya, @lammyng, Femi,Tayo & Patrick from DevDiaries and other finalists.   Below are some of the photos taken at the summit:

I met Kemi Olunloyo of @HNNAfrica, after the summit. It was fun chatting with her while waiting for the bus to pick us to the venue of the awards ceremony. I really enjoyed my time with her. So humble and interesting unlike some that will be feeling like donking just because they have 1 million followers on twitter...lol

Later in the evening, a bus conveyed all the finalists from the hotel to Landmark event centre, where the awards ceremony took place. I met alot of my friends there including Jarus of Nairaland, @Olorisupergal, CFA of techwithCFA.com, Muyiwa of naijawhistle.com. Jimmy Jatt was on the wheels of steel; Yemi Alade performed her hit song, Johnny, in French (in those hot yellow heels!); Timi Dakolo melted hearts; Denrele Edun, Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi and Chigurl compered the event.

I boarded my flight (Aero contractors) around 2:30pm from Murtala Muhammed International Airport and arrived safely in Enugu at 3:45pm.





Interesting...huh?

Photos from 2014 Nigeria Digital Marketing Summit

Few months back, I shared with you here on this blog, FREE invitation to attend the 2014 Nigeria Digital Marketing Summit which took place at the University of Lagos main auditorium Akoka Lagos, Nigeria on the 1st of October, 2014.  The event was successful and the attendance was quite impressive.





The summit attracted some of the best brains in Digital Marketing industry in Nigeria. Many Nigerian entrepreneurs and professionals were there to share secrets behind building, managing and growing successful online media platforms.



I was one of the panelists for the "Digital Marketing for Bloggers" session. It was fun answering blogging-related questions from the audience, even though I couldn't answer all due to the limited time allocated to me. I felt so honoured to be invited by the convener, Olatunde Samson and hope to attend such fantastic events in 2015 and beyond.



Even though I couldn't wait for post-event photoshoot because I had to rush to the BloggersLab getTogether that was taking place simultaneously, I was able to get some few pictures to share with you. Below are some photos for you:

Photos from BloggersLab 2014 GetTogether in Lagos

The 2014 BloggersLab Get-Together took place on October 1st somewhere in Yaba Lagos. That same day, I was at UNILAG for the 2014 Nigeria Digital Marketing Summit where I answered blogging-related questions from the attendees.





On completion of my session at UNILAG, I rushed down to the BloggersLab event. Luckily for me, I met the last lecture during which Donvin was sharing the secrets of using Facebook ads to skyrocket Adsense earnings. It was interesting learning new tricks from him and was fun meeting some Bloggers one on one for the first time.

Photos and Highlights of the 2014 Web Xperience Training in Lagos, Nigeria

Few months back, I shared with you here on this blog, an invitation to attend the 2014 edition of the Web Xperience Training which took place at the Nigerian Employees Consultative Association (NECA) House in Ikeja Lagos, Nigeria between 8th - 10th of September, 2014.



It was a 3 days practical training where participants who came from all over country (Lagos, Kano, Abuja, Anambra, etc) were equipped with life skills in Web Design, Android App Development and Digital Marketing. They were empowered and given all the required training, tools and alliance needed to set up their own multi-million web consulting business empire.



The participants were not just trained, but were given the tools of the trade and introduced to job portals where one can leverage on a portfolio pool and get web consulting clients and jobs. The event was covered by National Dailes — the Punch, the Nation, Thisday and Guardian.





The tutors included Vaughn Itemuagbor (Front End Developer, CEO IrokoWEB) and Ifiok Nkem (Host, CEO Web university, Viversity and KokoWEB) — Veteran Web Consultants. The VIP speakers included Otunba Akin Alabi (CEO/Founder, nairaBET) and Dr Ope Banwo (CEO American Internet Business School).



After every Web Consulting Xperience training, participants are placed in a post training mastermind group… Barely 2 weeks after the event, testimonials are already rolling in…

Below are some of the photos from the event:
