Introducing, The 9ja Show: The Voice Hangout to Share the Nigerian Way

Authored by @olujay

Greetings! If you have been following the happenings in the community, you couldn't have missed the massive changes and upgrades in the last month. The Big Move happened and shook the community hard—in a good way, of course—and what we have been having ever since are a series of positive movements. Concept upon concept, vibe upon vibe, we bring yet again something exciting! Introducing...

𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝟡𝕛𝕒 𝕊𝕙𝕠𝕨

Naija is an informal variant of the term Nigeria, because Nigerians love to make things shorter and sweeter sometimes. And, being typically ourselves, we went further to twist "Naija" and rewrite it as "9ja." They are pronounced similarly.

The Nigerian experience is vast and diverse. Some of them are specific to individuals or groups of people, while others are general to the public. Whichever and however the case may be, the Nigerian life and way are special, and The 9ja Show aims at providing that platform for the Nigerian way, perspective, lifestyle, traditions, and many more to be shared and learned.

The event, basically, is another avenue to bring ourselves and our fellow countrymen together to connect on a whole different level than we do every day on the chain. It is an event where we host shows, obviously, hear our different and beautiful voices, discuss topics, and most importantly, have FUN together!

To facilitate this exciting event, we've already prepared the place for you. Our Discord channel has been undertaking a lot of renovations and developments to accommodate the interesting things we are doing and will be doing, like our very own 9ja Show. It'll take place on ᴛʜᴇ 𝟿ᴊᴀ sʜᴏᴡ channel on the Hive Naija Discord server. Click here to zzoOOM right there!

The 9ja Show will be held every second and fourth week of the month on Friyays! It'll be at the start of the weekend, when we'd likely want to unwind from the "exhilarating" week's work, at 8 p.m. Nigerian time (7 p.m. UTC).

We have the event now, as well as the place and time, but it'll be nothing without YOU! Anyone is welcome; you are welcome to join us to shine a light on the Nigerian way on the Hive blockchain!

Very true Bro
I ve very recently had to joggle so many things with hive.

This is major step and I'm certain it's going to be fun. I will be looking forward to this.

 9 months ago  

A major step indeed, wongi. You, look forward to this, and I look forward to hear that voice of yours on the show.

People say that I sound like Jhymi. So if you've heard her voice, then you've invariably heard mine:)

 9 months ago  

And you imply that I've heard jhymi's before? Well, come around on the show if you got time, both of you, and I'll be the judge.

Certainly, I would try my best to be there.

Oh I remember the previous shows then on telegram, I was still a newbie then, but they were fun and insightful, I'll definitely be looking to participate in this one.

 9 months ago  

Yeah! Me too! I still cringe whenever I remember the first thing I said was that I listen to the news 😂

😂 😂 😂 And I'm sure no one else even remembers this. I can't even remember the first thing I said, I wasn't much of a talker though.

 9 months ago  

I can't even forget😭. I cringe hard all the time I remember 💀

You're still not much of a talker. You like doing like ghost!

I cringe hard all the time I remember 💀

Eya, sorry, 😂

WOW 😲. This is awesome. I really do love the topic for discussion. Kudos to everyone anticipating.

 9 months ago  

We hope you'll be participating too😁

I will try, just that I am busy with lectures. Right now in lecture hall.

Picture is mine.
Thanks alot.

Please I like to know the icon for pictures in a comment

This is the comments section. Look down and you will see the icon

The last icon by right, close to waste bin that has a blue color. But this is ecency that I used. I don't know the frontend that you use.
Thanks.

This is one of the best, it is good to interact with each on the voice channel and get to one another, and deliberate on how to move the community forward because united we stand, divided we fall.

 9 months ago  

That is a true adage! Hehe. Interacting live always has this way of bringing us together. Hope to see you there

I will always be there

This is super fun and interesting, the naija show is certainly a milestone and i can't wait to be part of the show this Friday, good job naijans🇳🇬❤️

 9 months ago  

It's something we are hoping for. Hehe. I know we'll see you there!

Yes, I will try my best.

 9 months ago  

It's actually two times in a month, Priness. I'll see you around, regardless.

Oh my... don´t mind me. I just noticed my error. It´s month I should have typed 😂

I am finding joining the discord server difficult.

 9 months ago  

What difficulties are you experiencing? Show me, and I'll guide you through it.
