Hello, Hivers!
Hey, everyone!
My name is Peace Obienyi Oluebube, but you can call me Lue.
I'm Nigerian and I also recently just raduated from Obafemi Awolowo University with a degree in chemical engineering.
While in school, I picked up some other skills like writing, UI/UX design, and blockchain development. I've always been passionate about exploring life outside the classroom and finding ways to make an impact.
The Post-Grad Struggle
After graduation, it wasn't easy to find roles that suited my diverse skillset. Truth is, there were so many fresh graduates, just like me, competing for the few available opportunities. I knew I had to find another way to survive and thrive.
I signed up for the mandatory one-year national youth service corps program and was assigned to a company. That's where a colleague noticed my love for writing and interest in blockchain. He introduced me to Hive, although he wasn't on the platform himself. He mentioned knowing someone who had been writing on Hive for years.
Right After Discovering Hive
I didn't waste any time signing up for Hive. Can you blame me? I was very excited.
However, my initial excitement fizzled out pretty quickly because Hive was kind of hard to navigate at first. I didn't know where to start, had no one to guide me, and couldn't get enough resources to make my first post.
So, I let my account sit idle while I searched the internet for more information on how to proceed. YouTube had little to no helpful videos beyond just signing up.
Finally, after what felt like forever, I stumbled upon @ryzeonline's incredibly detailed guide on getting started with Hive. It was a long read, but absolutely worth it. I even bookmarked the post to reference whenever I need it.
It was only after going through that guide that I felt ready to finally introduce myself here.
The Fun Stuff
Now that I'm here, hi again. I'm so excited to connect with all of you! A few of my hobbies and interests include;
- Traveling
- Writing
- Reading novels
- Watching movies (foreign and local)
- Volunteering
- Enterpreunial endeavors
- Meeting new people
- Designing and building software solutions
I would love to teach, learn, unlearn, and relearn as many times as possible – and I want to do it alongside every single one of you.
I promise to be a law-abiding member of the Hive ecosystem, supporting the posts of those who put in their time, ingenuity, and effort into writing. I'll do my part to help make Hive an even better place.
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to engaging with you all!
XOXO😘

As for the skincare routine, It's nothing really special, genetics I guess.
Welcome to Hive 👋🏼
I hope you grow in the future on hive 🙂
Welcome good lady, I'm happy to see that you found Hive and that you are skilled in blockchain tech.
I suggest writing posts around 500 words or more, and putting several photos of your own, which might fit in with the subject of your post.
And aim to write and publish daily, every 24 hours. That's the optimum amount.
And engage with other posts, network, socialize.
Power up as much Hive as possible for now. The more you have, the more you will be taken seriously by the big Hive account holders who have big votes to give you.
The price of Hive, like all cryptocurrency, will continue to climb for the next 12-18 months. It will then peak and begin to decline for the following 2 years, and then pump again for two years. It's a 4 year cycle built around bitcoin's halving every 4 years.
Wishing you all the best from the south coast of Africa.
