I attended the inaugural Lagos chapter of Social Media Week in 2013. Since then, SMWLagos has grown to become one of SMW’s key highlights, if the stats shared on eNitiate’s social accounts about #SMW16 are anything to go by.

SMWLagos started today
The first instalment of #SMW16 started today in Lagos, New York, Hamburg and Jakarta. I am especially excited about Nigeria’s online netizens’ active participation that has resulted in a major contribution to online mentions of all the four participating cities.
1. On this 1st #SMW16 day, 1 in every 2 @SMWLagos | #SMWLagos #onlinementions has been from Nigeria – the largest country %cont to its city
