"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"

untitled.gif

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.

untitled.gif

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.

untitled.gif

This week's engagement starts immediately after you see this post and ends on Sunday at 11:59 pm.

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

untitled.gif

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?"

OR

  • 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.

untitled.gif


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.

untitled.gif

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.

Pls note : However, please don't take it to the extreme.
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.

0.00190551 BEE

I had to come check myself o. And as usual I saw the tag which made it even more easy.

0E-8 BEE

Hehe. Hopefully this is here to stay.

0E-8 BEE

0 BEE

0E-8 BEE

That kind of sleep ehn

0E-8 BEE

Do you get? πŸ₯Ή
I’m so glad we are going to give this a go again. πŸ₯°πŸ₯³

0E-8 BEE

What did you recently accomplish and would like to share a testimony of how it all worked out?

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

0.00150030 BEE

School can be draining with exams, tests and classes. I'm glad you got a C in the course. Thank God.

0E-8 BEE

0E-8 BEE

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

0E-8 BEE

Result tension can almost give someone high BPπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚but thank God you passed it

0E-8 BEE

I swear , it wasn't funny but I thank God

0E-8 BEE

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 thatπŸ˜‚

0E-8 BEE
(edited)

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

0E-8 BEE

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. πŸ₯°πŸ₯³

0E-8 BEE

I'm glad you passed the course πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯°.
Congratulations @treasuree

0E-8 BEE

0E-8 BEE

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.

0E-8 BEE

Welcome, Mr English.

0E-8 BEE

Currently, I'm battling with schoolβ€”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.

0E-8 BEE

AGUNWA. ..
Congratulations in few days...
If you dey enter labour market it will favour you Amen though as for me ,me and labour market no get alignment

0E-8 BEE

Amen!
But why is the labour market not aligning for you?

0E-8 BEE

My beiibii!!! I’m actually so so proud of you! Because my guy, it’s not easy! And you’ve been holding up so so well.

It’s 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. πŸ₯°πŸ₯³

0E-8 BEE

Aw! Thank you so much for everything, really.
Have you bought your form?

0E-8 BEE

Thank you so much @treasuree

0E-8 BEE

Ok ok . How that you are here. How's your weekend going?

0E-8 BEE

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. πŸ™‚β€β†•οΈ 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? πŸ‘€

0E-8 BEE

First off, when did you start saying β€œbruh?”

0E-8 BEE

Blame @empressjay. 😭

0E-8 BEE

School can be draining. Really drainingβ€”talking from experience. You'll be done soon, love. Hopefully they won’t strike.
Keep fighting!!!

0E-8 BEE

Hopefully o. If they strike now it will just cause problem. Let them wait.

Thanks for always supporting and encouraging me. 🀲

0E-8 BEE
