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. Itβs been over a year since our last hivenaija weekend engagement and a lot has happened since then so itβs really nice to have this starting up again to get everyone together every weekend to talk about random things and just have fun.
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 βRELATIONSHIP"
We had just 51+ comments in our last weekend engagement and weβve had weeks when we recorded over 1000+ comments! Letβs 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 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 didnβt make a personal comment) gets 5 hive besides the normal prize. This is to encourage meaningful
1st prize - 5 hive
2nd Prize - 4 Hive
3rd Prize - 3 Hive
4th Prize - 2 HIVE
5th Prize - 1 Hive
Prizes courtesy of:
@Samostically and special thanks to our curators.
This weekend, Itβs been a while we had this engagement so itβs just nice we start off on a lighter note, donβt you think? Just tell us how youβve been coping despite all the shege life have been sending your way, either as a worker, a student and more.
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 itβs 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.
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.

Iβm so glad we are going to give this a go again. π₯°π₯³
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"

Result tension can almost give someone high BPππbut 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 thatπ
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

Oh wow! I had almost similar experience too! But I didnβt 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. π₯°π₯³
I'm glad you passed the course π₯Ίπ₯°.
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.

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

Hello, sir.
Happy weekend! I hope everything is going well at your end. π₯°
Welcome, Mr English.
Currently, I'm battling with schoolβbasically, 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. ..
Congratulations in few days...

Itβs just few more days and you will be done with the major part of schooling. I always pray to God to be with you in this final chapter of your school life.
More grace, my love. π₯°π₯³

Yay!!! Iβm so glad and excited about this comeback! Itβs been a long time and I think this is a good time for a comeback.
I really need to get my engagement crown back! Itβs been a while! If not for this school that is after my life that I started chasing back sha. πββοΈ no time bruh, lol.
To answer the question for this weekendβs engagement, one thing that Iβm currently battling with and I canβt wait to get over with is school! So far so good Iβm grateful for how it has been building me in so many ways but I wonβt 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? π
First off, when did you start saying βbruh?β
Blame @empressjay. π
