…If you want something said ask a man but if you want something done ask a woman.
Hello! Story ,story, do you know that finally a TEDx event happened today at Ibom E-Library on 4th November 2017. If you are not familar with TEDx ,maybe you’ve heard the author Chimamanda Adichie’s ‘We should all be feminists’ speech which was a TEDx Euston event. My relationship with Tedx events has always been online – yayy thank God there’s YouTube and most importantly internet connection, so when I saw on a Whatsapp status(Mark Zuckerberg thanchu) that the event was at Uyo, I had to ‘grab my copy now’. Special thanks to :

Mmanti Umoh



The primary licensee for making this event possible;

Ineme Dandison



The curator and who I viewed the whatsapp status from. The wonderful speakers were:
