A lot of newbie have asked this same question and and the answer has always been that the forum serves that purpose already and if you have any doubt you want the experienced person here to help you with, you can always ask the question in the forum and you will be certain to get response that will be as helpful as the one you will get during the meetup.

What you should understand is that the members of the forum that makes up this nija board spans across the different states in the country and it wouldn't be wise to pay a huge transportation fee for a meetup whose purpose the forum is already serving. Maybe a WhatsApp group could be reasonable to some extent but how easy is it to learn a course from WhatsApp?

People's privacy has been a serious factor also when it relates to this topic and since we all exist on the forum with a pseudo personality, I guess most persons would want to leave it that way.
