RE: Hive-Naija Weekend Engagement #17 - "Hive Naija"

in Speak Peace3 years ago

Of course I know of the community. I do try my best to be active there but there are instances i forget or miss my alarm. Also, the lack of participation on the community can be discouraging. Yet, there are others who don't fail. I'm also a culprit to not being a participant to all telegram meetings. I'm mostly tired on Sunday evenings.

I share this exact struggle with you.
My life offline is hella busy.
So I can only spend so much time online.

Same here.... it almost feels like 24 hrs is not enough

We only feel that way when we are being productive 😃

I tell you.
These days I try not to push myself too much.
I almost broke down real bad the other day😟😟😟

I mentioned this 24 hour thing in my last post too.. It just seems short nowadays.

It must be. It's amazing how we still find time to juggle all these. Women are awesome

Indeed we are..

I have never attended a telegram meeting @peaq. Is it a new development in the community?

https://t.me/+7Gc96PKY4NUwODI0

Happens some Sundays. Join us. E be like fellowship

I will. Thanks

Oh dear
No it’s not.

And thank you @young-boss-karin for responding promptly to her. I’m always snoozing 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

You're welcome, love.

Yeah, I figured. I joined the last meeting.

I think we are all guilty of not participating, sadly enough.

It needs to change though. The Nigerian Community should be thriving on Hive. I do accept the idea of new leaders. Perhaps the leadership board needs new directives

Well, the thing about changing leadership is that who would want to take over?

You now! Lol. You'd rule with catapult and rice 🤣...

I wouldn't mind being part of it though but to be in charge, I wouldn't be able to do that.

True. I'm not good with too many responsibilities

Exactly, wouldn't be able to keep up

Fact.. Myself I don't like stress especially carrying lots of peoples stuff on my shoulder.. Omo I done off

Being in charge na big post and also worth going for if the zeal is there

You can go for it then, volunteer to help out or something.

Leadership thing is Nigeria is all about money 😂😂😂... Na joke ooo..

Its not easy to take responsibility sometimes without some salary or added advantage... The thing no easy..
I don't even have the quality of a leader, just following anyone that's ready to lead because I often feel that I won't do better than him when am in his position.

Fact!.. Da feeling, it definitely not easy
😂
Whoever is leading is the best candidate

Factssss @monica-ene

I'd rather be a support system to the leader than be the actual leader. There's nothing easy about leading.

I agree with you

Oya send me private message na. Everybody that wants to be a support system, I'll get y'all busy

So true, but sometimes someone needs to step up.

Okays that's when the responsibility falls on you and there is nowhere to run to.

😆 just imagine, maybe the responsibility should fall on you then

Well true, but won't people be like: that guy is chopping our money? 😅

Will you chop the money??? 👀

I'm a passionate person lol. I believe one day, there would be money. And problem is, I too like Shawarma.

Even when there's no money to be chopped

Hahaha with the look of things now sef, there no money to chop na full time sacrifice maybe it can pay later

So when it pays, people don't realise how much efforts the leaders put it.....
That's how Hive works generally. You see some (400 words) posts with $200 and some 4000 words with ($3). What do you think is the cause?

E say??? Yo don't have qualities of a leader? 😂... Abeg come and lead this place so that you will have experience

Lol

Exactly, let's start from somewhere

Working experience indeed 😀😂

No salary, no added advantage, just criticism now and then.

When I was hustling for the weekly rewards, someone went to complain that I was being partial.

Crazy thing is, I'm exempted from receiving rewards o. In a bid to be as fair as possible. Just doing it for the love of it but people still dey vex.

I agree. But trust is important. I didn't create the community. At this point, I'm only allowed to share posting keys because the money in the community wallet is important.

I'm legit ready to step down for anyone who has the time to handle the community better.

It's not easy to be a leader ohhh.
He who wears the shoes knows where it is hurting.
You are doing great, I just think you need more support on the curation end and that's absolutely not your fault.
Hive get as e be! @young-boss-karin

I need to start rallying for people to support with rewards. I was just tired of toasting men every week to release their money.

Looks like I'll have to start doing it again. Once we get weekly rewards the engagement will come. Hive is all about money these days.

LMAO.... I done off abeg

I was just tired of toasting men every week to release their money.

I almost choked on the water I was drinking 😅😅😅
The hustle no be here ohhh!

Hive is all about money these days.

My dear,
People need money, so they exert energy where the money comes...

You need kayamata? Anything to support the community

Every assistance is accepted at this point. I need virtual touch and follow.

@wolfofnostreet kayamata kwa? It's not that serious🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kayamata kuma 😀...
Ma wani anfani, kuma daga ina?.

Abeg gimme one. I don tire de find investors. Make them find me

Nooooooooooo.... I protest this statement.

"We want Karin! We want Karin!!"

No protest for me o

I really think you're doing a good job though.

Thanks, love.

You're most welcome

Hehehehe...... Let's go shopping with the money!

I no mind o. Its Belemo that'll hunt you down

Well, maybe. We need connections. I think we rank 1 or 2 in population on Hive

Oga you have connections na 👀

Connect us to your connections.

Pull some strings for us na

@starstrings01 should work here.. he's got lot of strings 😎

Yeah I'm also guilty

I'm guilty as charged. But, I want to do better. There's no morale yet.

It's the same with everyone I guess.

Yeah true, we too no dey participate
Like the fault is from both side sef..no body is to be blamed

Exactly, you get it.

I'm not on their telegram group only discord o.
Yes, they should work on participating in people's post to encourage them

Try joining the telegram group. They do leave a link on their posts.

Do people actually support using the link, or the posting is just for formalities @deraaa?

I'm talking about following the link to join the Hivenaija Telegram group. Quite true that it isn't as active but that's what we should be working on

I feel I need to put in a little more effort but I don't know where to start from. Also, I have other activities that take my time so I dey forget the community.

I no dey try at all

Lol

Just keep up

Basically e no easy

I feel u

It's just a few minutes. But remembering and knowing what exactly to do every week isn't easy.

Why not plan your activities then? I do that every night before bed. I align what I need to do according to their priorities and then, I take my phone, set alarms on each one. The alarms blare when I need go focus on something else. Trust me it helps. You just have to discipline yourself not to snooze the alarm 😂

Omo, I do that o. These days my activities can be pretty unpredictable. But I'm trying to get myself back in order.

Oya now

Setting alarm is best choice but activities also lap activities, everything kan chock
😂

I totally understand this part. But atleast you'd know where your priorities lie

Definitely, and even end up fulfilling some..

You are doing your best jare... no blame yourself.. we all just have to be encouraging and do better with engagement.

If ginger dey from our end...u self go ginger too...

There was a time I was able to get people gingered up in the community.

No worry, soon enough we'll be back to our lost glory. I'm taking notes.

@young-boss-karin I look forward to better days in the community

I can relate and you are doing your best.
I feel we need to work on encouraging the entries of the weekly prompt it not compulsory it huge just a little to show they are recognized that way we get to have more entries and the community grows.

You go dash us HBD?

I mean curating
How do one help?

Curating isn't an issue sha. Most times I just need help with the newsletter and coming up with weekly prompt ideas.

You are even trying well done.
How about maybe during the meetings suggestion should be made for the weekly prompt
Like maybe we have for the month of April education so we conclude in the meeting what part of education s we talk about every week all through April.
For the month of may maybe politics and we conclude every week what part of politics we talk about all through may
And maybe June economy and we conclude every week what part of economy we talk about..e.t.c
What do you think?

How about maybe during the meetings suggestion should be made for the weekly prompt

This makes so much sense @ijohnsen

Don't beat yourself up love. I'd volunteer to take some off your hands but exams have been on my mind lately. Juggling mom's business, school and Hive hasn't been easy

I feel you feel

Although I am presently home due to the asuu strike but yet I got busy schedules like there is no strike.

All you ASSU-ers... Lol. You've all been Assed! 🤧

😂 😂

I tell you

Asses indeed..

No joke
😂

Babe you've been super helpful o. I no dey carry you joke. You're amazing and I know you'd do more if you could.

I feel like egg like this... Ahhhhh... I de blush oooo🙈

I also apologize for faltering in the past weeks. I'll pick up with this next prompt. Please ehn when making that post you plan on doing can you sound the postings links stuff in prompts? I noticed some people Still don't follow that rule

Also, shey @belemo is the founder. Isn't there a way he could get involved. I think this is a reckoning that we need all hands on deck. Every single person

Belemo does his bit. @wolfofnostreet does her bit too. Sometimes I don't even know what to do

Wow. Maybe we'd talk more on WhatsApp? I don't know how else to offer my help. I'd offer funds but I'm not buoyant yet.

Yeah. You dey try

Pele dear, most times I don't remember too.
Had wished to join the Sunday chat but it never happened...
Maybe someone can help to flash me offline, I fit remember to join.

Set an alarm. 7pm

Telegram meeting? That's a thing in the community? I really need to do better.

Yep every Sunday by 7pm. It's usually fun. ... ❤️

Me too, forget that I'm asking the questions, I'm guilty of everything. I don't know if am doing too much or what? I don't find time to engage as i would love too. Also, I miss the meetings because forget totally
