*Day Two of Decentralized Intelligence 2024 V2: A Deep Dive into Blockchain, Web3, and AI

 

 

The second and final day of the Decentralized Intelligence 2024 V2, a Blockchain, Web3, and AI Summit, concluded with a workshop at the Civic Center, Victoria Island, Lagos. The two-day event, organized by the Blockchain Nigeria Users Group (BNUG) and sponsored by the Afriq Group of Companies, brought together leading minds in the tech, cryptocurrency, and artificial intelligence sectors.

Day two focused on a series of in-depth workshops that provided delegates with practical knowledge and insights into blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. Participants had the chance to engage directly with some of the industry’s most respected figures. Among them were Jesam Michael, CEO of Afriq Group of Companies; John Orakwe, an AI specialist; Dr. Paul Chima, a chiropractor with interests in tech and innovation; Ladi Willie, a business journalist at Channels TV; and Chimezie Chuta, Founder of BNUG and Chairman of the Nigeria Blockchain Payment Systems Council (NBPSC).

 

Each expert contributed to discussions that ranged from the future of blockchain in Africa to the intersection of AI and Web3 technologies. The sessions offered valuable opportunities for attendees to deepen their understanding of the rapidly evolving tech landscape, with a particular focus on the practical applications and implications of these technologies for the Nigerian market.

 

The Afriq Group of Companies, as the major sponsor, made a lasting impression during the summit. Jesam Michael, CEO of Afriq Group, delivered a thought-provoking speech that resonated with the audience. He began by expressing his appreciation to BNUG for creating a platform that fostered learning and collaboration within the tech community.

 

“I celebrate ideas,” Jesam Michael remarked, acknowledging the vision and effort behind the summit. “Let’s thank Mr. Chimezie Chuta and his team for putting up this wonderful idea, allowing crypto and tech lovers to come and learn for free. If this event had been organized by a foreign counterpart, this hall would have been overflowing with people because they support each other. Yet here in Nigeria, we find ourselves caught up in internal conflicts, cyberbullying, and character attacks.”

His address highlighted the importance of unity and support within Nigeria’s tech community, emphasizing the potential for growth if individuals could rally behind one another. Jesam Michael also underscored the role of technology in creating positive social impact, saying, “My thoughts are to see you stand tall, helping the less privileged, the widows, the aged men and women, and contributing to the economy of our country.” He reiterated his commitment to supporting initiatives that promote progress and development.

The second day concluded with an atmosphere of optimism and excitement about the future of blockchain, Web3, and AI in Nigeria. Participants left the summit with fresh insights and new connections, poised to apply what they had learned to their respective fields.

Chimezie Chuta, reflecting on the event’s success, thanked all partners, speakers, and participants for their active involvement. He emphasized that the mission of BNUG is to continue to create platforms for knowledge-sharing and collaboration, ensuring that Nigeria remains at the forefront of the digital revolution.

The Decentralized Intelligence 2024 V2 Summit not only showcased the depth of talent and expertise within the Nigerian tech community but also underscored the importance of fostering collaboration for the growth of blockchain and AI technologies. The Afriq Group of Companies’ involvement, especially, served as a testament to the power of strategic partnerships in driving the country’s digital transformation forward.

Reliable Source Defends Okunfulure Olusola Steve, Denies Money Laundering Allegations

 

A trusted and close associate of Mr. Okunfulure Olusola Steve has come forward to refute the widespread reports alleging his involvement in money laundering.

According to the source, who is based in the United States and has longstanding ties with Mr. Olusola, the Nigerian-born businessman is a legitimate entrepreneur with a verifiable professional background in the U.S.

“I want to categorically state that Olusola is not involved in money laundering,” the associate stated. “He is a law-abiding citizen who has never engaged in any criminal activity.”

The source clarified that Mr. Olusola was in Nigeria to attend a private function and was apprehended at Murtala Muhammed International Airport while returning to the U.S., with $30,000 in his possession. The issue reportedly arose due to his failure to properly declare the amount to airport authorities, which led to allegations of money laundering.

“This situation has caused significant distress to his family, friends, and associates, as Olusola is widely regarded as a person of integrity and good character,” the associate added.

It will be recalled that Justice Deinde I. Dipeolu of the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, convicted and sentenced Mr. Okunfulure Olusola Steve to three months imprisonment for money laundering. He was arrested on March 28, 2025, by operatives of the Nigeria Customs Service at the airport for failing to declare the $30,000 in his possession, in violation of the law.
