Sede Giwa-Osagie Ikeji (Mrs.) of The Quadrant Company, her colleague Efe and company coordinated the interactive public forum of bloggers and guests who also discussed ‘Blogging in Nigeria: what are the next steps?’ and the use of the popular social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Fola Akinmolayan, the Internet Evangelist was there wearing a baseball cap and glasses. The popular Deolu Akinyemi came with a fellow blogger and social network buff. Adeleke Adeyemi of Timeless newspaper spoke on blogging on science. Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima wanted to know how Nokia could improve mobile blogging applications.

The surprise was the appearance of the famous Dele Momodu, the Publisher of the popular OVATION magazine who came to have his lunch at the same cafe. Momodu left before the Nigerian bloggers met Nokia OVI.
