Below are some of the unedited testimonials:   Miss Ebere (Guest): It’s really been impressive, I really don’t know anything about It, but I think I will go digging into.  From every other person that have spoken, I have learnt that I need to pay my tax in other to get contracts from the government, so I think I will do that when I get home. To the organizers of this event, I say really, this is great, I think this is the 5^th edition, right?  I got to know this through a friend, so I think they should do their publicity just more to allow Nigerians know more about it, I have learnt and I know I will still learn more, people should also come and learn.   Mr. Ebuka (Guest): I know Connect Nigeria like since last year at ICTEL, saw their adverts on YouTube and thought, yeah I need to be here. I have been able to hook up with some guys I met last year at ICTEL, hoping to connect more.   Bankole Oluwafemi(Guest speaker)  CEO of Vcabal and TechCabal: I love the energy, there are so many people, so many businesses, SMEs is obviously looking to use technology to advance their skills, and it is very exciting to meet with everyone. For me I am interested in how people use technology to accelerate their businesses.  In business you have to figure it out, figure out how to create values but technology and get customers, but technology, what it does is that, it allows you to do things exponentially, to become more efficient in your processes, to make more money, more traffic, more customers, through multiple channels, where you acquire these customers, and that is what I have come here to explore.   Unknown:  Compared to last year e-Business fair, in terms of the outreach, CN got people engaged and excited about the event beforehand, was spectacular. The quality of the speakers, not to say that the last year speakers were not good, but this is a solid panel, people you have all the way from 9pm-7pm. It’s pretty impressive, am loving it and everyone is loving it. That’s why there are so many people here.   Mr. Daniel: I am quite happy to be here, it’s an opportunity to network with people in business and challenges me to do more, I am aspiring that in the next couple of years, and my business would be such that I can even get a stand for here. I am trying to learn the ropes one way or the other.   Mr. Ehis: I was driving in a traffic home, when I heard it come up on Classic FM, I picked up their number, called in, and got myself registered. I am here selling my business and getting connections. The turnout is fair, it’s just a normal exhibition, I am here to get everything I want and a couple of contacts, I think I am impress.   Mr. Richmond: My experience, its ehm, in fact, I am thinking of resigning my current job now, a lot of insights, its getting cheaper to run businesses, especially client services and internet services providing. We got Pay as You Use, so much exhibition.

I don’t regret my stepping in here, at the event, I want kudos to Connect Nigeria.   Mr. Tunde This event has been really cool, there have been some information I came here directly for, and I got them. The turnout is amazing, just about 40 minutes or 1 hour ago, you could see for one end to another, but right now, it’s filled up, you can barely see like five feet in front of you. I guess the event is quite successful, as I have gained so many useful information, but the real success would be based on the vendors who are here to give their service.
