MEET JOSEPH || MY INTRO

[josephilaya]

Hello everyone 👋👋...

I go by the name Ovakpo Ilaya, but you can call me Joseph. It's a great honour to finally have the opportunity to be a member of this great platform. Although I'm a little bit nervous and over excited at the same so please take it easy on me. Well, since it's required that I introduced myself properly before having a place in this wonderful platform then let's get started.

ABOUT MY FAMILY

Yeah, that's me. I am a Nigerian born and brought up in Delta state, Nigeria. The name "Ovakpo" was given to me by my dad, it's my native name and it has a wired meaning so I'd rather not say. Although,according to my mom that wasn't the name she intended for me but since my dad insisted that it should be my first name she couldn't disagree 💁. I'm from a Christian home, although my mom and late dad are more of a traditionalist than a christian but we the children didn't follow their footsteps, we're fully devoted to Christ.
I grew up in a polygamous home and it's not something I'll wish for anyone tbh, and since it's an experience I've been through I'll just advice everyone the young men here to not marry more than one wife infact this sapademic (hardship) alone in Nigeria should be a good reason for you not to.

TIME FOR ME

Well, I don't really know much about introverts and extroverts, I don't know where I belong, I'll just say I'm a pisces according to my zodiac sign and yes, I was born in March. I'm really emotionally sensitive,I talk a lot and also stay quiet when I have to, it all depends on where I find myself 😊. I dislike pretenders a lot (seriously I really do!!). Another thing about me is, I'm not a comedian but I love making people around me laugh, I can even go to the extent of becoming a clown just to put a smile on everyone's face but don't take me for a fool though, I know exactly what I'm doing!! 👻.

WHAT I ENJOY DOING MOST.

I LOVE SINGING!!! This was the one thing that made me famous in my secondaries. We were 3 and we sang melodiously back then,we had a plan of taking our singing skill to another level but "sapa" ( means circumstances) was a barrier for us. Although I'm not giving up on becoming a singer. I'm planing on bringing my singing skill here on Hive so please don't discourage me🥺😅, we're one...help a brother I beg you 😂🙏.

Although I have a lot to learn but I won't let it discourage me. I'm also a lover of musical instruments, keyboard and guitar to be precise, despite not knowing how to play yet, I'm planning on getting one soon as it'll be of great help to my singing here on Hive.

Another thing I'm into is UIUX (User interface and User experience), it's all about designing of websites and apps. As a beginner it's quite difficult to learn but I know with time I'll do well in it and probably share my designs here with you guys if possible.

MY INTENTIONS

Well, my intentions on this platform is to build my commutation skill. I want to build my Knowledge on everything, on socializing, more knowledge on things and mostly I want to benefit financially from here, can't deny the fact that I need cash as well, everybody needs cash especially us Nigerians 😂...the hardship in this country is so much that most of us are now confused, even our leaders are confused too 😂(please don't tell them I said so, me no want problem 😂🙏).

APPRECIATION

So far so good, I hope I become useful to this wonderful platform and also want to appreciate my family @hopestylist, @davidbright and also @merit.ahama (I love calling her the Ambassador ☺️) who have played a great role in making it possible for me to be a member of this platform. I look forward to be effective on this platform just like them, so please help me do this 🙏.
