fdama,

Lagos does not have the hotel capacity to host such an event. There is only one decent hotel where everybody go and it explains why prices at this hotel are ridiculously high

[ResearchKnowledge123]

I totally Agree!

Cape Town, Cape Town, Cape Town.

Africa is not all about South Africa. I am sick of seeing these type of forums always hosted in SA. Yes it maybe the largest economy on the continent but there is more to Africa than SA. Why not host in Lagos? Accra? Addis Ababa? Nairobi? Dar es Salaam?

Interesting. I hope Africa can do well.
