Was it really grand? It's not as if I was wearing the costume of the king nor was I a king neither did I have soldiers guarding me, hehehe.
Nevertheless, I'll say it was a grand entrance for me, but why?
Designed using my picture via Canva
It was because unlike many persons that discovered Hive during their other blogging activities and had trouble adapting to the platform, Hive found me (courtesy of my elder brother @kenechukwu97 )
My brother went for his compulsory service (what we call NYSC in Nigeria) at Jos, a state in the Northern part of Nigeria and during his stay over there, he was telling me about a Blockchain platform he was on, but, I was also on another aspect of the Blockchain so I didn't put much interest on his own.*
The major reason was because he told me that unlike mine where I spend money to buy Cryptocurrencies, that he doesn't spend money earning his own.
I was skeptical because I know that from my previous experience, nothing of such nature lasts for long and might as well be another Ponzi scheme with a different approach ( I was wrong, hehehe)
Fast forward to the time he finished and came back home, he was still doing that, amazing. Not that he was just doing that but he was also contributing financially as regards family needs.
But guess what?
I was still not interested; this time around because he told me it was about writingπ
The only thing I knew how to write was how to write for my exams, asides that, nothing else even though I'm a good reader
Shortly after my third professional examination, I decided to visit him since he relocated and was staying alone ( It was my first time exploring the South-western part of Nigeria.)
When I got there, of course he served me this wonderful food with drinks and guess what was next?
He took his laptop and started that same thing, Hiving againπ
"Local man" just wanted to go watch Chelsea Vs Real Madrid then..... I asked him where the direction of the viewing centre was and dashed out immediately, but, I didn't bother asking him about Hive ππ
The next week of my stay, could you imagine? After 7days of staying with a hivian who was dedicated, I didn't pick Interest, but, was jumping from one movie to another, I decided to declare Interest.
It was just few days, I think, two days before I left and he helped me create a profile and guided me through.
Then I was satisfied for the day because I created a profile without any post, lazy me.
The next day, I wanted to make a post and then he told me I would have to make an introduction first... this was March 8, 2022 but I was travelling back to school the next day.
Could you believe I didn't make this introductory post until March 30, 2022.
It took me 24 good days to write that post, ever had a longer time to writing any post π?
Shortly after my introductory post, I was replying people that commented on my post and next thing I saw was RC not enough and my reply couldn't go through, hehe.
I complained on Discord but my brother wasn't available then and boom, @stevenson7 delegated to me, shortly after, @dreemsteem delegated to me also, hehehe. And then my brother delegated to me too... I didn't know what HP was then but all I knew was that I could now send my replies and I was happy.
Onboarding, I was expecting to be a member of a fun Community and also to make money
I got Interested and my interest grew stronger from time to time and here I am happy to have achieved whatever I've achieved during the course of my stay on the platform.
I got to meet very wonderful people on the platform including my personal mentor, @merit.ahama .
*No doubt, some moments make you sad especially when you end up with no Upvote on your posts, but then, with the help of my brother, mentor and my best aunt @nkemakonam89 , I got to understand that they are all phases one has to pass, so I've actually been seeing above the rhetorics of just Upvotes, but, having fun while hoping for them to come.
In general, It's been all fun ever after I joined on this platform.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day
Thanks for reading π
Hahaha you included your relationship with @kenechukwu97 Lol. Well, I sent private message and literally asked away haha.
You resembles my sister. She loves to read and write but since she's graduating and leaving home to work in the city, she just brushed off the idea of hive.haha
Well, ain't giving up. Haha She'll give in soon.Lol
Cheers to #TeemLimitBreakers!
#Dreemerforlife
She will..if after all the run around I gave in, she too will give inπππ
Just hang around to get her onboarded
Haha hopefully. She'll into earning money since we kind of deep in debt with school/Uni expenses haha

Lol... I know you will be an amazing mentor and onboarder to your sister. Once she sees that you aren't enjoying the things you do online, she will also show interest to be part of the Fun. Hehe
It was a grande entry because you had people to guide you. I was lucky to have a mentor too.
Enjoy your stay here and Hive more
Thanks dear
Lol, Hive definitely seem like scam and face value but it really isn't when you start digging deeper and understanding things better.
Great reading your story on how you land on Hive. For me, I stopped posting after my introduction when I read that you don't have to post much in the beginning as you will earn nothing. It's better to engage and get notice by fellow Hivians. The problem with that is when they come to your profile they see nothing to engage on since your posts are more than 7 days old ππ
Thanks to moremoney28 who told me about it and to start posting consistently.
Hehehe... Thanks to him too
Posting all the time is great as you might end up getting lucky with large Upvotes.
Great to have you here... I love your writing skills and your posts and thoughts are always top notch
Indeed, it all adds up with consistency. In most cases, it can be a learning experience to refine my writing skills and figure out what works and what doesn't.
I'm glad to be here too, thank you so much for the beautiful remarks :)

saludo me gusta tu planteamiento.
Muchas gracias
Your journey is really interesting hehehe,it's really nice to see you had encouraging people around you especially your brother, he lived in jos...yes I too based in jos before I moved to akwa ibom state,not to mention even I, myself was lazing around on hive, but the zeal to write got me all the way here, but I'm really glad you made it through too, and I bet your having more fun then ever....
I honestly laughed at the part where you saw your brother doing hive,but you decided to make a run for it to go watch football and even see some movies while you were with him, I'm just glad your brother didn't give up on you too. It's really exciting and inspiring. I love how your journey started and the way it's going now.π¦π₯°
#Dreemerforlife
Hehe, at that point In time, football was what mattered to meπππ
I'm also glad he didn't give up on me.. I'm every grateful to him for that
#dreemerforlife #hhym @dreemport
It seems you found a lot of people around you and you received help from them also when you need need. You were indeed lucky.
After creating account when I tried to login they asked me for password and I started to think that I didn't set any password. Do you know I found the password almost 10 to 12 days later when I was checking my gmail. After that I logged in my account..
ππππ
That's quite a task... Lucky you're here now buzzing around
It's a pleasure meeting you here also. Hive needs a push and glad you got the right hands to give you that push
I'm always grateful for that
Thanks for coming around
@dreemerforlife #marathon #dreemport
π this my doc is too stubborn. See how youβre worrying Merit and Nkem now. I guess it was like that for all of us. We really didnβt appreciate the platform till we started getting serious.
You ran away to watch ball?π youβre a boss
#dreemerforlife
You just wanted to find somewhere to put the boss πππ which I'm not sef
I've got to worry them actually π€£
Thanks for stopping by
@dreemerforlife #marathon #dreemport
Youβve always been a boss π
I'm just seeing your post everywhereπππ @sperosamuel15 zukwanuikeππππ.
Well, the good thing is you are here now and enjoying it. Happy Hiving!
#dreemerforlife
π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£
I just wanted to fulfill my task π€£π€£
That's the most important thing honestly and the fact that I could go and come back anytime I want and navigate around without assistance
Haha... You see that moment when you are not sure of your ability to write something that will be interesting to people, that was a very scary thing for me the first time I heard about writing and earning online π.
Wow... The journey so far has been interesting.
The thing about Hive is that it's always there for people but I don't ever think it's a good idea to force people into it. Haha. Once the person is destined to be a Hivian, he/she will surely reach a stage where he will become enthusiastic about it.
You've done a good job already. Well Done, Bro. #dreemerforlife
Thanks a lot, hehe
Hehehe, the way you was so reluctant about joining at first, no one would ever imagine that you will be this hot π₯ and active here. Of course I remember all these stories cos kene was updating me π ... even after staying days with him in Ibadan, kdrama wouldn't allow you to join the moving train until almost when you was ready to leave...what a life..lol
I wouldn't blame you oo π
What about me that brought a friend for kene to coach and excluded myselfπ€¦
Creating my account was a miracle..a push, because I didn't like the idea of writing long epistles.. lol
Good that we are now here are happy π
It will get better
#dreemerforlife
Tell me this didn't really happen Nkem π€£π€£π€£
Hahaha πππ€£π€£π€£
It happened oo π€¦π€¦
I looked down on myself merit
I told him that I have a suitable candidate for him not meππ
What do I know to write, I am not a writer biko π€£π€£ππ€£

See this my student is designing images on Canva like a pro now o π I love that thumbnail hehe
So come and tell me how entering Hive was in a grand style when you ran off to go watch football and made an intro post a month after signing up π
It's surprising how you got even more active than persons who started to write on Hive the very first day they joined.
No rewards on your posts? It's normal for newbies but it gets better so yeah, have fun with Hive as you've been doing π―
#dreemerforlife
Canva is after my life πππ, thanks a lot π
Yes, you made me stick around, hehehe.
I definitely know it will get better, Atleast it's currently way better than it was when I started
That's good to know, keep up the good work you're doing π€

LoL π I knew kene all the way from Uptrennd and we met on Noisecash again kene is a very active person when it comes to blogging I wonder if there is anything else he does aside from blogging all day and night because he's always online, well it's so nice to be here on Hive.
#dreemerforlife
Hehe, he does many things actually ππ

I guess you'll grin from ear to mouth nowπ
Hehe, grand entrance toward football you meanπ. I am glad you joined anyways. It is amazing
Heheh.. thanks
You are welcome π
I love your story broh. You really cracked me up when you spoke of ponzi schemes. I had many bad experience with those schemes and I was yet stubborn, even last month I still got into wrong hands. At the beginning of my journey on hive, I had similar thought over the platform, infact then, I was just counting days in mind to hear that it has crashed like other platforms but I waited long and my friend was busy enjoying all the funds alone.
I had to reason again and take a bold step concerning Hive. There are many wrong schemes out there but it's not everything scheme that is fake yet we need to be careful and observe thoroughly before we dive into one.
All thanks to your bro, I am happy he brought you on board, else I wound have met an amazing soul like you.
#Dreemerforlife

Amazing soul ke... Thanks for the compliments man.
I'm also great to be here... Atleast it gives us hope that tomorrow is gon be nice

Your usual motto; Movies, Music and Football. Nothing else. I'm not surprised the match was the first thing that came to mindπ.
I'm grateful to read this because it gives me hope that one day I'll get there too. At first it will seem like all you do is not working out but eventually, I believe we will all get there with consistency.
Nice articleπΉ
Obviously, it'll only take time and I'm willing to wait for it to come
We will get there eventually... Thanks
Finally @kenechukwu97 succeeded in getting you in. I didn't know he has a brother here. He is a very guy and friendly as well, looking for my trouble sometimes,hahaha. Welcome to hive, I am sure you will enjoy the place like your good aunt @nkemakonam89 said too. I hope you are going to bring your friends in too. It's a fun place
Hehehe, now you know
Sure I already brought my friends that are willing... Not everyone would want to join in eventually as it's stressful too
