Hive Naija Weekly Prompt | Edition 42

Greetings!

As a community, we have come a long way together over the years, and more exponentially since The Big Move. What we want for ourselves is to have a space where countrymen have a home to share the Nigerian experience and connect with one another. Together, we'll have a blast of a year.

Welcome to a new edition of the Hive Naija Weekly Prompts. This initiative is one of our activities to explore our creativity and foster connections amongst ourselves. Whether you're a seasoned creator or just discovering the joy of expressing your thoughts, these prompts are crafted to inspire and ignite your creativity, as well as interact with the creativity of others in the community.

Last Edition's Winners:

What a blast this week! We had 32 of you share beautiful memories and heartfelt response with us! We appreciate every participant for taking giant strides to expand their minds with the last edition's prompts. Many were as beautiful as they came. And there are a few that we want to showcase for their exceptional entries and level of engagement in the community.

Lessons from running my business on credits and sentiment
by @jjmusa2004

My packaging of kuli was not a hassle. All I did was buy wrapping nylon and use a measuring bowl to sell the quantities my customers needed, but often, they were packed between ₦500 and ₦1,000. It was not a good package for those who were willing to resell it, but it was good enough for consumers. The quality reduced the quantity, yet it was always worth the price.

Side hustling, the best way to survive in Naija
by @chichieze

This is the greatest mistake i made. I started selling of stockfish and crawfish business in August 2022 after undergoing some trainings. I actually started this business with a huge amount of money i made from my blogging career. I wanted to use it as my side hustle in other to support myself and my family members. But things didn't work as planned. It was consuming all my time. Each time i came back from market, I fee very tired and it was really affecting me.
