"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions." - Dalai Lama
Hello everyone, my beautiful hive naija people, it's another beautiful weekend and we are so happy to have you here once again after a very long unplanned break. So sorry it took us this long to return. It’s been over a year since our last hivenaija weekend engagement and a lot has happened since then so it’s really nice to have this starting up again to get everyone together every weekend to talk about random things and just have fun.
OBJECTIVE
As we all know, the Hive Naija Weekend Engagement is focused on promoting the togetherness of the Nigeria brethren through engagement and it's also now concerned of the well being of each and everyone who is part of the engagement. This account was opened to make the engagement more personal and officia. You can find the INTRODUCTION POST to read more about the purpose and aim of this new account and also do well to follow the account so as to know when a post is made.
A long time ago, I thought, I shared and I asked "Why don't we chat on hive every Weekend?"
And you all said... YES
"Well, we won't be the first as there are some weekend engagement trends already on Hive! But this would be THE NIGERIAN VERSION!"
The last time, the topic was ”RELATIONSHIP"
We had just 51+ comments in our last weekend engagement and we’ve had weeks when we recorded over 1000+ comments! Let’s see if we can still make that possible now. It has always been so nice seeing people who dedicate their time to engaging and sharing their thoughts and ideas with us, I want to appreciate you all for the consistency, quality engagement and your efforts, let's keep them coming. Special thanks to everyone who makes this hang out possible.
I will drop a topic every Friday (Today's topic is below), share your thoughts on the matter, reply to someone else opinion, and interrogate the opinion if you like. Keep the discussion on. If you don't have anything to say about the topic. Just reply to someone else's comment.
Do all these in the comment section, as that is where it all goes down.
This week's engagement starts immediately after you see this post and ends on Sunday at 11:59 pm.
Prizes for this week
Prizes are distributed to the winners after considering their interactions and also their contributions to the topic. And we have made some little changes and improvements in the prizes too. This week's prizes;
Special prize to our top engager that is the person with more meaningful responses to others comment even if he or she didn’t make a personal comment) gets 5 hive besides the normal prize. This is to encourage meaningful

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?
This weekend, It’s been a while we had this engagement so it’s just nice we start off on a lighter note, don’t you think? Just tell us how you’ve been coping despite all the shege life have been sending your way, either as a worker, a student and more.
- "What are you currently battling with and can’t wait to get over with?"
- What did you recently accomplish and would like to share a testimony of how it all worked out?
Remember, the aim of the hangout is to bring Nigerians together so make sure you have this in mind when responding to the questions. And feel free to add even more to it if you have any. And also, after sharing your comments below, go to leothreads to also share your responses there. If it’s short, you can share it in one thread, if not, you can make it a theeadstorm and come back here to share your link to that thread. Make sure to use the #samhangout and #hivenaija tags (it will be a determinant for choosing our winners).
In the spirit of implementing some suggestions, from next week, our winner will choose the topic for discussion and will also be the one to choose the winners. All you have to do is suggest the topic during the week and also the winners in the comment and tag @hopestylist to it. To our topic choosers, they will receive 10% of the hangout post they suggested the topics.
Okay Let's Gist!!!!
Be as simple and sincere with the discussion, hehehe.
Don't you think we are forgetting somebody?... Well, I'm sure we are...
Oh yes before I forget, the winners will be chosen based on the number of new members they invite to join the engagement. You know what you benefit when you engage so why not let others know about it. In fact I will advise you look beyond the prize and look more to doing something different even for your Naija brethren by showing them the way here.
There are no further rules, please banter as you like, speak any Nigerian language (Igbo, Yoruba, pidgin, Efik), anything, as long as someone else can understand.
With all that said, let the discussion begin....

Wooot. It feels too good to be true. I will definitely join this week…
Welcome back Sam. It’s been a while brother.
I had to come check myself o. And as usual I saw the tag which made it even more easy.
Hehe. Hopefully this is here to stay.
Yeah , I hope so too
Yep.
Where are you foxy?...
Maybe he is sleeping.
Hmmm since yesterday,? 😂
I don’t know again o. Oh! I think he is waiting for me. 😂
That kind of sleep ehn
Do you get? 🥹
I’m so glad we are going to give this a go again. 🥰🥳
Funny how it's will look like a testimony , wait it is a testimony lol .
So last year we had our first semester exams,it wasn't the exam I was scared of but the results, it was supposed to be out in February since we wrote in November, well I don't know what happened with Yabatech system, there was no first semester results , now the reason I was scared was because of business statistics, I am actually not good in calculation courses.
Funny second semester exams came and went , only for me to be inside bus one day and I saw courses adviser had posted results, I swear I was sweating that day, it was as if the world around me went mute,I was looking for my matric number , the diary thing I went to look at was statistics and to God be the glory it was a "C"...
I was so scared o. But thank God I passed the course, and I didn't even look at others because I was confident about the rest.
Lol...
Okay I finally said mine.
@justfavour @goldenproject oya see na you people should come and tell me good girl ooo
School can be draining with exams, tests and classes. I'm glad you got a C in the course. Thank God.
Yes o it can.
Thanks . But where's my "Good girl"
🥺
Did I call you “good girl” yesterday or I called you that last week? So why now?
We should start th fight abi? Is that what you want?
I don’t have the strength to fight. I am saving my strength for my baby.😌
Ah! Well played o .
Very well played
You tagged dhavey? Let chefqueen catch you.
Lol......
I swear .
I will soon run before he brings her here too
They'll come for your head.😂
Let them come I'm with iron helmet today
@chefqueen @goldenproject come and see something.😂
Lol you now tagged her....🌝
Shey you are not the one after my life like this ehn......
You want her to see 😂
You want to cause world war 13
😂😂😂
Result tension can almost give someone high BP😂😂but thank God you passed it
I swear , it wasn't funny but I thank God
Result is a HBP on it's own, especially if you know you wrote nonsense during the Exams..But it is Funny how we students will know very well that what we wrote in an examination is not enough to guarantee a pass and still hope and pray to pass which most of the times we will still pass it ...no be juju be that😂
No ooo
My case wasn't like this, my own case is the nature of our school, you won't understand , just let me tag yabatech students, so you understand what I'm saying.
@burlarj
Come and tell him for me
Unless that is the case for you guys own, but hope you understand my point ? ...May be you're very intelligent...I'm a medical student currently in my 4th year ...so I'm speaking out of experiences😄...God has been the one carrying me from one level to another ..but believe me you can't study my course if you're not ready to study day and night but still exams still humbles us after putting in the work but God has been faithful in my life
Oh wow! I had almost similar experience too! But I didn’t do well in most of my courses at all. I cried that day and I was having a paper that day. Well, I did way better in my second semester sha. I thank God. 🥰🥳
I'm glad you passed the course 🥺🥰.
Congratulations @treasuree
Awwwwn thank you baby
Can relate, did business statistics in 200 level currently in 300 level, it was brian texting, remembered when results were out at that time was to scared to check my results Sha I had too and I got a B in the course, I just thanked God, well done on your result.
One of the sweetest updates!

Hello, sir.
Happy weekend! I hope everything is going well at your end. 🥰
Welcome, Mr English.
Yay!!! I’m so glad and excited about this comeback! It’s been a long time and I think this is a good time for a comeback.
I really need to get my engagement crown back! It’s been a while! If not for this school that is after my life that I started chasing back sha. 🙂↕️ no time bruh, lol.
To answer the question for this weekend’s engagement, one thing that I’m currently battling with and I can’t wait to get over with is school! So far so good I’m grateful for how it has been building me in so many ways but I won’t lie that I get really drained sometimes.
Hopefully by next year September October I will be rounding up and move to the next phase of my life (which might be another shege on its own but we move).
@empressjay where are you? 👀
First off, when did you start saying “bruh?”
Blame @empressjay. 😭
Lol. Sha stop.😌
Okay.
Hehe.
Just joking oo. You can use it if you want to.
Hehe.
Horrrrr 😂😂
I have reach here?😭
Before nko? 😂
You’re welcome. 🙂↔️
🏃
School can be draining. Really draining—talking from experience. You'll be done soon, love. Hopefully they won’t strike.
Keep fighting!!!
Hopefully o. If they strike now it will just cause problem. Let them wait.
Thanks for always supporting and encouraging me. 🤲
You're welcome, Hope.
❤️

Good Afternoon Everyone.
I'm so excited to be a part of this community, I joined hive 2weeks ago and it has been a wonderful experience. Thank you @sam.hangout for bringing us together.
Yay! You’re welcome to the hivenaija engagement, Vanilla. Hopefully we will keep seeing you every weekend and get to know each other better! 🥳
You’re welcome to the hive blockchain too! 🌹
@justola1

Literally anything!😌
Wow. Love the space already
Really? Tell me about it! 😌
Oh wow
Soft soft
Thank you for bringing me onboard
The chess brothers indeed. 😌
Who is this lady?😂😂
Your lady. 🤭
You're forgetting something oo.
What is that?
My stubborn lady.
Its a good one to have our engagement come alive again. At least this will be a good way to check on each other despite the shege you mentioned. Aloottttttt is happening to people around here and in real life but I'm glad that our onchain friends are still holding on and thriving through it all.
Yes o. Figured most people on the tag list are no longer on Hive
Really thats serious and there is no way to reach out to them?
I really hope all is well with them
Maybe an engagement will have kept them here a little longer unless the found a better somewhere
I hope so too.
The few I know, they have moved from the country and it’s really not as easy for them as we thought it should be.
Like!!! I saw some names that I have almost forgotten they were ever here. Hopefully they come back sometime to say hello.
Holding on is the only way forward we have got no other alternative
I totally agree with you, Kingdomzy. 😌
Nice username by the way. 🤭
Thank you so much for the compliment and for standing with me on this😀
You’re welcome. ☺️
Yes o. It’s good to be back!
And cheers to everyone holding up strong. 💪
@hopestylist I hope we can make some waves here every now and then. Times have changed but Old habits die hard. Time to unleash the power within.
Whenever you are ready, Fox is ready.

How about today?

Welcome back Sam! It's nice to see you are back.
@suqueen @jessicaossom @ummie @glorydee
Let's start the conversation. Lolz , would be nice to talk to you all.
Come and tell me how you have been coping with shege 😂, because if I start my own ehn, I would have to write a long post. Hehehe.
Well I will come back and write it sha.....
@treasuree How is your weekend going?
Me just here. Got no plans for the weekend. Though I might go to church tomorrow if there's no rain.
How's yours going?
hmm, alright
Yeah yeah
I just realised that today is Friday and not Saturday 😂😂😂😂.
Life, today feels like a Saturday maybe because of the holiday. Sha..
I was talking about Sunday. Lol.
Pardon my error
Wait, I never get meat today
Salah meat?
I don't think me I will see Salah meat today because I don't see any Muslim folks around.
Let me tag @babygirl888 , you should come hangout here o . I'm waiting for you tell me when you are free ehn
lol, it fun. But it is sometimes like that we mix days of the week
Yeah... It happens lol.
No rain ke. Rain fall everyday. Put rain in your plans
It's .was drizzling a while ago.
I hope it doesn't rain sha. Wait o tomorrow is Saturday not Sunday lol
I'm dreaming of Sunday already see my life . Na wa oooo
It's raining now. I'm so cold and automatic MTN is running mad lol
Ehhh.
Maybe you should try taking tea to reduce the cold. The Mtn network frustrated me yesterday , I almost ran mad. I later had someone hotspot for me so I could publish my post
Omo, the shege is shegeing but it’s interesting how we are all coping somehow. It is God. 🤲
Currently, I'm battling with school—basically, my final year exams and project. Looking back, it's been a long journey filled with turbulent waves. Waves that almost swept me away. But the most important and interesting part is that I survived, and I'm still alive and kicking. In just a few days, I'll be done with school, and I can't wait to get it over with, really.
Life after school can be draining, yes. But I'm open to whatever waits in store for me.
@hopestylist come and share with us.
AGUNWA. ..

@sam.hangout, I paid out 0.258 HIVE and 0.059 HBD to reward 8 comments in this discussion thread.
Good afternoon everyone
This is my first time participating, hope for an exciting experience
