Anything hangout, seminars or gathering considering Bitcoin/crypto in Nigeria always gets hijacked by some shitcoin promotion. No be say na wetin they always they the agenda but because of lack of sponsorship from Bitcoin OGs in the country, shitcoin gets to take over the funding of the events and they get to advertise their products there. Na who they sponsor go determine the events contents na where the problem they start from. Just like when they get Bitcoin pizza day event for the country then you go hear say either solana or Binance they sponsor, wetin we expect from that event than them hyping their different projects abi if na you they sponsor events you no go advertise your own products?.
You have made a valid observation in Nigeria and actually in many countries events that are supposed to be focused on Bitcoin often end up being dominated by projects that have the financial capacity to sponsor them. It is true that without strong backing from individuals or organizations that are purely aligned with Bitcoin the vacuum is usually filled by those who have other interests mainly altcoin or exchange platforms.
