Taking place at the Civic Centre in Victoria Island on Saturday, July 5th, the conference aims to accelerate Africa’s leadership in the Web3 space.

International and local experts are converging under the theme “Igniting Africa’s Web3 Revolution” to discuss real-world blockchain applications that meet Africa’s unique needs.

Industry powerhouses including Busha, cNGN, and Blok AI have thrown their support behind the event.

Nova Phoenix, co-convener of the event and MD/CEO of Lyfeblood, flew in from the United States to lead the initiative.

“My passion for Africa, the motherland, is one of the core inspirations for putting this together,” he said.

“We’re here to help grow the ecosystem and empower Nigerians with the knowledge, networks, and opportunities needed to lead Africa’s digital revolution.”

Rume Ophi, a well-known blockchain advocate and co-convener, highlighted the event’s strategic significance.

“This is a conference anyone serious about the future should not miss,” Ophi said.

“We’re not just talking about technology. We’re discussing how blockchain and Web3 can solve African problems and generate real economic value.”

The Decentralized Nigeria 2025 conference includes four major panel sessions focused on practical innovation.

Discussions will centre on community-driven marketing, sustainable funding, blockchain education, and regulatory clarity.

Unlike conferences driven by hype or speculation, this event focuses on tangible solutions for long-term impact.

Sponsors are also aligned with this vision. Busha, one of Nigeria’s leading crypto platforms, is a key sponsor.

“Nigeria is leading Africa’s Web3 charge, with the talent, need, and innovation to back it,” said Olaoluwa Samuel-Biyi, Director at Busha.

“Continued progress depends on education, infrastructure, and regulation. That’s why we’re proud to support this conference.”

Chinonso Chijioke of cNGN echoed this commitment. “We’re supporting Decentralized Nigeria because we believe this is a major project of impact for the Web3 scene in Africa.”

The conference has attracted notable partners including Channels Television, Tech Economy, CAB, and Business Insider.

Their involvement ensures that the conversations and ideas generated this weekend will resonate far beyond the venue.

Speakers include prominent names from across the ecosystem. Hanu Fejiro, founder of Patricia Technologies, brings deep industry insight, while Chinedu Obidiegwu of Luno Nigeria represents one of Africa’s largest crypto exchanges.

Senator Ihenyen, Muhammad Abdullahi Yusuf of 100 Million Foundation, and Shamsuddeen Ibrahim, founder of The Orange Block, will also speak.

Jerry Gwamna, a respected advisor in blockchain security and DeFi, rounds out the impressive lineup.

The organisers are positioning Decentralized Nigeria 2025 not as a one-time event but as a catalyst for ongoing development.

The relationships formed, ideas shared, and strategies created are intended to drive progress well into the future.

“This is just the beginning,” said one speaker. “What starts in Lagos this weekend could reshape the trajectory of African innovation for years to come.”

With seats limited and industry attention growing, the event is expected to raise the bar for Web3 conferences across the continent.

It provides a rare opportunity for developers, investors, and policymakers to align their goals in support of a digital-first Africa.

Hundreds of tourists gathered at Egypt’s Abu Simbel temple to witness the twice-yearly sunrise ceremony illuminating Pharaoh Ramses II’s statue

Hundreds of tourists gathered at Egypt’s Abu Simbel temple on Thursday to witness a spectacular sunrise phenomenon in which sunlight illuminated the face of the statue of Pharaoh Ramses II, an event that occurs only twice a year.

The ancient astronomical ceremony drew visitors from different parts of the world to the archaeological site in southern Egypt on October 22, one of two dates associated with the phenomenon.

The second occurrence takes place on February 22, when the rising sun illuminates the temple’s interior.

Egyptian tour guide Yasser Fouad described the occasion as extraordinary, saying some visitors had stayed overnight to secure the opportunity to witness the event.

“Today is an extraordinary day, everyone is keen, there are people who stayed over the night, foreigners who actually spent the night in Abu Simbel to see this phenomenon,” Fouad said.

The Great Temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel dates back to the 13th century BC and is among Egypt’s most prominent archaeological attractions.

Built during the reign of Ramses II, one of ancient Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs, the temple is renowned for its monumental statues and sophisticated architectural design.

The twice-yearly sunrise phenomenon is a major attraction, drawing visitors eager to witness the interaction between sunlight and the temple’s ancient structure.

The dates have traditionally been associated with significant moments in Ramses II’s life.

October 22 is commonly linked to his birthday, while February 22 is associated with his accession to the throne.

However, the precise historical reasons behind the dates remain debated.

Some archaeologists have proposed alternative explanations, including that they may have marked the pharaoh’s coronation and birthday.

Abu Simbel underwent a major international rescue operation in the 1960s, when archaeologists and engineers relocated the temples to protect them from flooding caused by the construction of the Aswan High Dam.

The monumental structures were cut into large blocks and reassembled at a higher location, preserving the site for future generations.

The relocation was one of the most significant archaeological preservation projects of the 20th century.

Despite the move, the temple continues to attract visitors for its ancient Egyptian art, monumental architecture and remarkable alignment with the rising sun.
