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 BLOK AI 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.

As Africa takes a more central role in global blockchain adoption, Decentralized Nigeria 2025 conference is set to define how that transformation unfolds—with Lagos leading the way.
Organisers of Real Talk With Kike have unveiled a high-profile lineup of speakers for the programme’s seventh anniversary celebration, which will also commemorate ace broadcaster Kikelomo Atanda-Owo Abati’s more than 20-year journey in the Nigerian media industry.
The milestone event will hold on October 10, 2026, at Eko Hotels and Suites, Lagos, bringing together leaders from government, business, media and culture for conversations on Nigeria’s future.
Leading the keynote sessions are Dr Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat, Deputy Governor of Lagos State, and Mr Vlassis Liakouris, Group Managing Director of Mandilas Group Limited.
Also confirmed as distinguished speakers are Mr Kola Adesina, Group Managing Director of Sahara Group, and Dr Toyosi Akerele-Ogunsiji, Founder of Rise Network, while Mrs Bola Adesola, Chairman of the Board of Ecobank Nigeria, will deliver the goodwill message.
The speakers will engage the theme, “The Future of Nigeria: Where Leadership, Innovation, Culture and Media Converge to Shape Nation Building,” exploring how governance, enterprise, innovation and storytelling can shape national development.
According to the organisers, the theme reflects the philosophy that has defined Real Talk With Kike over the past seven years as a platform for meaningful conversations on leadership, society, business, relationships, culture and contemporary issues affecting Nigeria.
For Kikelomo Atanda-Owo Abati, the celebration marks two significant milestones. Beyond the programme’s seventh anniversary, it also celebrates more than two decades of broadcasting, making the occasion a tribute to longevity, impact and the power of dialogue.
The multidisciplinary speaker lineup mirrors the event’s nation-building focus. Hamzat is expected to share perspectives on public leadership and governance, while Adesina and Liakouris will discuss private-sector leadership, enterprise and innovation. Akerele-Ogunsiji will contribute insights on education, youth development and innovation, with Adesola bringing the perspective of corporate governance and financial-sector leadership.
The October gathering is expected to attract policymakers, business executives, media personalities, creatives and guests who have been part of the Real Talk With Kike journey since its inception, reinforcing its reputation as one of Nigeria’s leading platforms for thought-provoking conversations.
