Good day friends.
I am grateful to be back here after the general elections. I am more grateful that there was not much chaos as expected during the elections.
Welcome to this weekend hangout.
My POV On How A Hangout Could Be Improved
A hangout is simply regarded to where people agree to meet and discuss on topical issues as it affects them or the time they live in.
I think that when an hangout is to be organized, the first thing to be done is to state clearly what your expectation from the hangout would be. When this is done, thoroughly, then inr may proceed without fear.
Allowing for people to say their minds on the issue at hand is a great way to improve the hangout. From human psychology, people feel free and welcomed when their perspective in a discourse is respected. So, when people say a particular statement, whether it is true or not, your response must not negate them directly.
On the other hand, the reward system (if any) you be on merit. Giving out reward to discussants in a hangout is yo encourage participation. Even though the reward is at thee discretion of the organizer, it must have a controlling factor for the choice of who gets what. I have been in one hang out here on hive where the organizer said openly that he gives the reward base on his personal wish to anyone he wishes. But my take on that is that the organizer rather not add a reward system if it will not be base on merit.
In addition, topical issues that affects the particular time should be brought in from week to week. The topic could be from national issues, politics, education, finance, social issues like marriage, crime and so on. Since the hangout has a n age bracket as it target, topics that affects such age bracket should be on the discussion list.
In addition, when results of the week's discussions are released, everyone who has taken part should be mentioned. It is away of getting feedback.
The reward system may not be easy to follow through because of finance, as such, partnership is welcomed. The hangout could partner with brands to get rewards dishes out to discussants on different levels and on a weekly basis as sponsored by the partners.
I think, with these, the hangout hope to be successful.
These are valid points and you have definitely said well ✌️
Working on people's perspectives, reward system, having topics relating to that moment are something amazing.
Yeah that will be nice and that's why it's always mentioned that people should bring up topics for discussion but sadly nobody has done that except for @quduus1 but that was a long time ago.
It will be nice if everyone partake in the aspect of bringing topics and I think I have an idea.
Abeg share the idea with us oo 😅
Yeah, I already did, I made my response, you should check it out ☺️.
I have understood something about Nigerians, and that is the fact that Nigerians understand things quite differently.
Telling them to bring topics is one thing, but them you will need to find away to bring the topics outta them😂
Lolz, we will be choosing two people then and also having a backup plan 😂
Definitely if not, people can be very funny.
Yeah I can imagine, lolz

Wow..these are nice points
I will love to stress on this part: names of all participants should be mentioned while announcing the result. Some people may be discouraged after participating for weeks without hearing anything about results. Without the notification, many won't get to see it and they will be wondering where the outcome of their time went
@sam.hangout you may need to read this please
Correctly analyzed. That's what I meant when I mentioned it. You did well to juxtapose that point.
Thank you bro👌
It's a valid point indeed.
I'm glad I was able to convince you.
I'm gladder, lolz 😅
😂
I'm gladdest....
Yeah, that is a good idea, it is noted.
Thank you my dear
Thank you more, it's for all of us ❤️
That's right. Many times I don't get to be notified to know who won except when I win. This should be put into consideration for the sake of other people who may feel "of what use is my time here then?"
Exactly
Glad we pointed it out
These are really brilliant points you've mentioned and it will be great if it's looked into. I'm glad that I'm part of the people who put things in place for the hangout so this will surely be looked into.
Thank you so much for sharing your POV with us.
Thank you so very much for this initiative . I am glad to be associated with folks here.
Me too, I'm really so happy to be around you all, it's a great privilege 🤗
😊
Ahaha
Don'ttt ask me what that picture is!!!!
A drama we had in church describing the Nigeria we live in....
Thank you for knowing I will ask 😂
Yeah partnership is a better idea
Very well.
That will increase the rewards.
