My Life As An Event Host Series!😅🔥

This time, I hosted my first out-of-state event in Calabar!

The interesting about this event tagged “Perspective” is that I didn’t just show up as the event host. I managed the project and directly assisted the project owner on this.

Pheeeeeewwwwwww.

At this point, I guess I have to call myself a HEBREW MAN , because I deliver.

Working closely with my boss and Pastor @GeeAkpan has taught me something powerful: ideas are currency.

That man is a fountain of them, and being around him has shaped me too. I pray for it every day — because ideas keep you from getting stranded.

So when @Web3Sultan_ reached out about hosting the @StoryProtocol Buildathon in Uyo, something clicked immediately,

IDEAS FLOWED

PLANS ALIGNED.

And today, I’m PROUD to say WE SOLD OUT. 😂

CodeStory Uyo turned out beautifully.

Teams showed up with their A-game — clean UIs, sharp thinking, strong collaboration.

But beyond the code, we wanted participants to feel what working in a real team looks like.

We wanted them to be able to SELL what they have BUILT.

Because in the big ocean, it isn't just about building but selling your ideas too and NOBODY succeeds alone — and they got to experience that firsthand.

A huge thank you to Joe for trusting me to deliver, and to our amazing judges:

@Altcoin_daddy — @ChainspaceHQ

@ezechizi — Founder, @setapatofficial

@amaitariphilip — @ChainspaceHQ

Thank you so much, Sirs.

And finally… Involve me, because one thing about me?

I go DELIVER.

Jesus to his disciples:

Leave what you’re doing and come build with me.

I just shared on LinkedIn how I once got hired for a role without an interview.

The client’s comment after hiring me proved that my work, experiences and portfolio, spoke for me.

It took months for me to finally complete this article because I have been so busy! Whew!

In June, I attended and moderated a panel at the United Nations Open Source Week and I wrote all about it here. It’s a long read but it shares my reflections and some insights.
