“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.
-Brené Brown"

CONNECTION

untitled.gif

For the past months turned into year(s) that you've been on hive, you will understand that we've learned so much about the importance of creating a good relationship with fellow users and even in the real world.

So for this weekend's discussion, tell us...

  • IS CONNECTION IMPORTANT?

IF YES

  • WHAT HAVE YOU BENEFITTED FROM HAVING A CONNECTION?

These are the major questions but feel free to banter as you like about it this topic, everything is welcomed 😊.

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, there are also prizes for those that did well to invite someone new to the party and also you that has done well to invite someone you are also not left behind because you didn't leave anyone behind. But wait... Not so fast, this time you have to be more intentional about your invite, yes that's right...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 but look more to doing something different even for your Naija brethren by showing them the way here.

With all that said, let the discussion begin....

Living in Nigeria, the connection is bae! To survive you need someone influential oh, for job opportunities, to make things happen and other perks that come with knowing someone at the top.

Even in banks, if you know someone you will not stand in the queue. Omo connection is important.

like you can say that again, connection is the real bae, so i have to look for it anyway.. hehehe 😂😂

Yeah, this bank matter nah true, but that thing dey pain me sha😂😂, person go stay for queue for hours, dem one person go just wake from no where and before you know it , they person don first you finish... nah power of connection be that...

Ha, connection dey very important.

One of the important way to survive in this country..

We gat scale through any which way.

That's just it oo, Nah naija we dey, any way nah way ... hehehe 😂

I tell you ✌

Lolz, these girls 😂

Not just in this country, everywhere 😎

Really important 😊

Any which way, we need that solid connection backup to grow and succeed.

Very true, we need each other to succeed, hehe

Sure 💯👌

Yeah yeah 😊

No be small important oo

This is it!😄
As e de sweet the person wey just Waka come,e de pain people wey already don de stand.

life no balance at all...😂😂

E no balance o 😂

Na so life be 😂

That bank issue na one annoying thing.
Anytime I have something to do at the bank, I need to wake up early to avoid staying too long on the queue but all na scam 😊

That's why most times, I don't like going to the bank, that's one of the disadvantage of connection. Someone that just coming will finish everything before you that has been waiting for hours...it sucks! 😂😂😂

It really does honestly.

But sadly, that's what our country has turned into. Connection all the way

Nothing pain me pass that one oh

persin wey pass persin don pass persin jare

My dear, off your mic na

You Gerrit 😂😂

This the reason you need to keep a fair relationship with everyone you meet.
Get to talk with them. And don't make it get sour.

That's just the truth, we never can tell who will help us tomorrow..

Honestly, the rejected stone can end up being the corner stone 😊

Nah bible talk ham, and E dey happen for real life...

Honestly, every little connection matters.

So we all need ourselves to stay connected 💯

Of course, the words of God are what make up the Bible and it will always come to pass.

That's just how it is. What goes around will surely come around, hehe.

Very true 💯 it's just a matter of time

Yeah and that's why God commanded that we should love our neighbors as we love ourselves. We have to try s much as possible not to write someone off quickly.

we can only talk about today but , We never can tell what tomorrow will bring,

Na so e just be oo, so we have to always thread carefully, hehe.

You got it.
Every man is important ooo.
So, the earlier we begin to treat them right, the higher the connection.

One of the realities of life.

That's it baby.
Life toss to your several sides and you must learn to take control. Connection is one of such things life poses at you.

Fact 👌💯

We should never look down on anyone.

Right, it will be like we are even looking down on our own selves because in the end it will be clearer, hehe.

Exactly.
Everyone is relevant and important.

It's never to late to start building a connection but it's really hard to regain broken connection

Sure, you are right because you never can tell who is who.

The who you are may need the who another person is.

Sure, every connections matters 💯

More reason we need ourselves to stay connected

Yeah, some people intentionally disguise themselves to drive away unworthy people from themselves and that it's one reason we should be very careful.

You are absolutely right Sir, we have to be very careful when we meet people for the first time, we never know the role they will play in our lives.

In a good summary, connection is the koko🙌

Connection na baba 😊 boss of the bosses ✌

My dear... What part of the country are you? It seems una dey that Kain U. K level.. for my side even in the market you need connection hehe... I came in peace🚶🚶

Wahala no too much? Hahaha🤣

Ah connection is good oo, just that we in Nigeria we don turn our own to corruption. When we practice corruption we say it's connection, e.g wanting everything for your tribal men, wanting everything for your religion men and many more we are experiencing in offices, market and lots more...
But connection generally is good, I easily can know the state of being of someone because we have connection, keeping in touch each other will make the world a great
It will reduce allot of mischievous happenings around us, we will share quality friendship instead of fighting each other, peace will dethrone violence 😊😊
Lemme go and brush my teeth first am coming to complete the rest, e be like my mouth don de sm
*ll😃😃

You're welcome Ovey, I'm so happy to have you at the hangout this weekend.

You are absolutely right, the connection in Nigeria has turned into corruption. It's no longer something we earn but something we but then hive has thought me and helped me understand what true connection is.

Please do that and come back to join us in this hang out, I'm already feeling your vibes already, hehehe.

Honestly you are right 💯
How I wish we can help and do things with a free will spirit without been partial.

Yes dear.. @temmylade
Helping those we know isn't bad but helping those we don't know too its selfless and a kind idea..

That's just how it is oo, we have to treat people well whether or not they deserve it, we just have to treat them the way we want to be treated but that us where the problem is. God will keep helping us 🙂.

Amen o 🙏
Sure you are right my dear, it shouldn't be partial

Sure you are right.
Everyone deserves to be love, help and care for

Yeah, it's really hard oo my dear, how I wish I can too. Most times it's very hard to just treat some people as they deserve.

You get 👍 but we just have to

That's right dear

Awwwn 🥰 thanks so much dear @hopestylist for inviting me once more..
Connection is sweet my dear, just that the way some people de take am tohhh😔😔

I love your handwriting oo, can you please teach me how to write like that? 😅😅. You're always welcome Ovey, I'm glad I mentioned you 😊.

Connection is really sweet but very expensive, better thing na money kill am oo.

Hope your day is going well?

yes dear... @hopestylist
I'm already having a beautiful week over here, how about you..🥰

That's nice, my week is going pretty much better thank you 🥰

You're right, the rate at which corruption is growing all in the name of connection, and I'm not sure is stopping any moment from now.

And let me ask, if you're to be in a place of high position, won't you remember your families first or the people close to you before thinking of other people? apparently, we would love to help the people we know . So I guess that's the connection we are talking about in nigeria.
let me be honest , If I happen to be in high place, I will remember my people first before others, that's just the Truth as far as Nigeria is concerned.... hehehe.

You are right, no one will be in a high position and neglect their people.

But the truth is we shouldn't be selfish and partial about it.

But the truth is we shouldn't be selfish and partial about it.

But does honestly still exist when it comes to that? well out of 100 % , maybe 5 % or less can still consider to be honest with it

That's where we have gotten to 😂

We are battling with trust issues in this our world, I pray God help me do what I should.

That's not totally true sha, there are still some who will not help their people even when they can.

Yea you are right dear, I have some of their kind around.
It is well

Is alright, I was expecting that

wanting everything for your tribal men, wanting everything for your religion men and many more we are experiencing in offices, market and lots more...

Hy dear @maryjacy
That was why I was careful to say "wanting everything 😊" Love your neighbor as yourself, in as much as you help home help others outside home too, they also need help, don't want everything for your household if not it's greediness...hehehe😃😃

Lol, it's greediness but this country no balance, everyone is behaving the way Nd so the trait continue

The problem is not in helping the people you know, the problem is that so many people don't want to even help at all.

i don't ever want to encounter that kind of people...😂😂😂

As in ehn, lolz ☺️

You are absolutely right 😊 corruption has seems to be a normal thing in this country of ours

Connection mama 😊 you are doing well dear 👌

Hahaha, this girl leave me oo 😂😂

That's right sha 🙂☺️

Please do and try to rest as well 😊

I will, I am 🥰, thank you so much for your concern my dear

Oh yea, connection is greatly important in this country of ours because virtually every little things here now needs some connects.

Yea, I have actually benefitted some great privileged through connections 😊

IS CONNECTION IMPORTANT?

Very important... Both here on Hive to grow your post rewards by having rich connections, and in real life parties where it seems there's no way to get served food 🥲 connection is very important in exam hall too, if you know you know 🚶‍♀️

WHAT HAVE YOU BENEFITTED FROM HAVING A CONNECTION?

I've once bought a dress cheaper because I know a friend who knows the seller 😁 the sweet me ehn... The difference in amount was so much. Get plenty friends, e get why.

Get friends for buying things, for employment, for party and many for Hive... You gerrit? 🤣🤣

Everything wey dey happen for this naija need connection. if not, Oyo(on your own).

Oh! How have missed you all, not fully back yet, because work don choke for me this Xmas season, how have you all been? Great, I guess

@Sam.hangout Xmas choke you too?

Let me go straight to the question as e dey hot

is connection important?

Yes, very very

why?

In the world today, connection makes access to a lot of things easier, we now live in a who you know era, except in special cases where luck or should I say grace works for you,

Nowadays, to get admitted in school or get a job, also connections you've made in the past can be of help to you tomorrow, that is why it's always advised not to burn down bridges when parting ways with some one.

'My recent happening with connection'

I recently got a very high paying client through the connection of a very low paying customer, me and her dey always argue for price like kilode, sometimes, her complain sef go make you tire and frustrated coupled with her low payments, sometimes, I almost vex say I no see for her again, not knowing that her colleagues in the office were always admiring her dresses, both cooperate and native wears, and asked her where she do shop from, when she told them they were not readymade but sewn by a tailor, they were surprised, immediately, she linked me up with them, and guess what, they always triple her payment without pricing O, so you see, connection from her got me better clients.

Ehm😉 @quduus1 @treasuree @actordontee wake up O, even though I'm just about going to dlerp👾😴

Ahh i am here but I will be riding out soon

Thanks 😊 for the tag though

that is why it's always advised not to burn down bridges when parting ways with some one.

I tapped a knowledge from This, we never can tell who will help us tomorrow, in everything we do in life, we should make every moment count.

Sure, make every moment count positively 😊

You see 😊 that's the power of connection and a job well-done.

If you had stop her from patronizing you then you wouldn't have gotten such connect or if you had given those people a cold welcoming all in the name of "The person that linked you guys no dey pay"

It's good to keep a good relationship with everyone that crossed our paths 💯

Hmmmm it was a tough flight ✈️✈️ from UK to Nigeria this week because I planned to leave early but the turbulence almost made loose my flight, I wanted to get some Christmas wears but what can I do?? I couldn't miss the hangout so I just flew here with the speed of light, I will be going back soon lolz 😂🤣 so please gather money for my flight please 😎😎😎😆😁😁😁....

Thank you @samostically for bringing countrymen and I here to spend another lovely weekend together, we are grateful ❤️💯...

Without wasting much time let me get back to the main discussion of the day...

   IS CONNECTION IMPORTANT???

When we talk about the benefit of connection on hive, I don't really think connection matters because in the long run people will eventually suspect it especially when the post lacks quality most Times and it still gets voted by the same person everyday, such person is likely to plagiarize in the future when be or she gets too addicted to it which might cause a problem later on, connection on the hive blockchain is a two way thing because in one way or the other it may or may not get the involved victims punished in terms of plagiarism.

The most certain way to make it big on the block is through quality posts and quality Engagement and I promise you that no man will able to stop you from shinning...

Connection is very important in real life because without connection, the men of power will try to trample you and the only best way to win is by having a bigger Connection and it is good to have sure plugs lolz 😂🤣🤣 for parties because everything in real life is about Connection including admission into schools is connection based lolz 😂🤣🤣...

  MY BENEFIT FROM HAVING CONNECTION???

Well talking about connection lolz 😂🤣🤣,I have gotten an exclusive treat in a party I went to thanks to the connection I had there lolz 😂🤣 my friends mother was the caterer they hired to cook for the party and I remembered how well she dished some things for me while going home, I was able to benefit from the event thanks to her that day lolz 😂🤣...

There was a time my dad too was arrested because of some accident caused by other party, thank God for one of the landlords my mum knew who went to the station to bail him out, this is about 20-22 years ago...

In conclusion, connection is very important in the real life but on hive it is not essential but hardwork and consistency is...

Thanks for having me this week..
I need to rush out...

Yeah, in real like, connection is important, if not you'll just see yourself moving around a circle without getting to your destination. There bare some school that will never admit you even though you have a high grades.. even someone who grade was lower than yours will be admitted... that's one crazy things about connection, it's so powerful. Sometimes I don't judge those people who are you there, cuz if we are the one, we will also do the same..

When you dad went to the station due to a reason, the case might turn into something else had it been your mother is not connected with the landlord who knows the police officer, that's how connection works..

Connection is really a big deal 💯

Thanks for sharing this, have actually tapped a knowledgeable piece from it 😊

Hello my people, it's nice to be here this weekend, I came camera across the post this morning and I think it's a good topic to talk about..now to the question.

IS CONNECTION IMPORTANT?

There is a saying that goes thus " If you're not connected, you'll be disconnected" and that's the truth. connection will always bring us closer to opportunities we never thought we would have. There are some things we might think it's impossible, but through connection we see ourselves achieving them, so who would ever say that connection is not important?

Most times, we need to leverage on other people to achieve our aim. In our country today, connection Plays a good role when it comes to hunting for a good job. In a country where there are billions of citizens, we can not expect the government to come and pick us as the person fit for the job when there's a lot of competition, we need a stronger hand above to be connected with in other to get the opportunity... However, we can get the job without a connection if and only if a miracle happens... hehehe

Apart from getting a job, connection has a lot to do in every spheres of our lives. Even as a business owner, there's a way you'll Work with others to get connections in growing the business, so the importance of connection can not be underestimated.

WHAT HAVE YOU BENEFITTED FROM HAVING A CONNECTION?

I have benefited a lot from connection, but I will be sharing just one. I could still remember when I have not yet gained admission, I just done with my secondary education then, instead of Staying at home, I had to search for a place where I will work with good pay, ( nobody wey no like money, nah from my mama belle), I had to go and meet someone to get me connected with the manager, and fortunately, it was successful...On a normal day, I wouldn't have gotten the work without the connection, because the place is so selective, application letter don't even work, one can only achieve it through connection, anything apart from a connection is by the grace of God...lol

Hehehehe, I dey use sleep eye dey read this thing.

First time here? Welcome!

waky waky!!!

You are absolutely right 💯 connection really matters

IS CONNECTION IMPORTANT?
Absolutely it is

HOW HAVE YOU BENEFITTED FROM HAVING A CONNECTION?
Connection for me is like magnets, like poles attract unlike poles repel. When people see me or even watch from a distance their judging eyes are already speaking their minds , because am different in way that doesn't appeal to them well I remind myself that OTHER PEOPLES PERCEPTION OF ME AINT MY BUSINESS . Some people don't like the idea of having conversations that center around discussing about animals ,the environment how we can live in harmony with nature etc. And that's my kind of discussion and to some people , well most people find it boring , well they also have the right to personal thinking and freeness of mind .
Some years ago , say 6years I met someone , I can't really picture the scenario of how we met I try to but I just can't remember much , but we immediately had this connection when we started having a conversation . He has this idealistic mindset as I had and it made us really connect in a way I haven't with anyone , it was like I was seeing a mirror version of myself in someone else body and he became my closest friend ever since. So for me connection may vary yes it may be that of a business connection or visa travel connection whatever it may be . But the connection between those whose mindset , beliefs and views are in tune with yours are by far the best such as finding a friend or your soulmate. I implore @essygold1 and @meymeyshops

like poles attract unlike poles repel

bringing physics to the discussion on ground, that's a good example of connection, we don't know people, there's 80% possiblity that we will not get what we want.

Everything is propounded through connection, even with the way the country is going now, without connection, you'll not understand what's going on in your vicinity, because many opportunities will pass you by...

The new motto Now is : Stay Connected!

Honestly it will pass one bye o 😂 na with your ear you go later take to dey hear am

hehehe, Like the thing choke 😂😂, connection is just like networking that deals with leverage...

You get 💯
Oya collect ❤

You are right 😊 another level if connection ✌

Nice way to reply to the question of discussion. Indeed there is more to connection, it's beyond knowing someone that will help us in our time of needs. There is emotional connection, social connection spiritual connection and many more.

We at Sam.hangout are really so happy to have you join the hangout for the first time, please will you like to get a tag for the next hangout?

Hello my Naija people. This conversation is a very interesting one... How come I'm just seeing it now?😪

Anyways, I agree with connection being very important. Connection speaks a lot. If you get connection, you go get long legs😁 It will be very easy to go far.

This connection has helped me a lot. So there was this day, I was at the school park queuing just like every other student. My tired my was very tired and I was patently for when bus go reach me.
Then a car parked and the woman in it called my name. When I got there I discovered that she is my uncle's colleague and we had only met once. She is also a lecturer and lecturers hardly offer students free ride.
Anyways, she asked me to enter along with one of my friends.
The transport fare from school is just N80. It was not the money but because help came just at the right time and I did not end up spending long hours on the queue.

You can imagine the person of connection with your experience. sometimes, I wonder how things would have been without connection.

Thank God you are able to get the help you needed at the right time.

Yeahhhhhh we all need this 'connect' at some points in our lives and it's just a boost to get us to where we are going.

the earlier we believe the facts a about connection, the best for us ...

Really, I wonder too

Na Unilorin park dey get that kin long queue 😂

That's just the power of connection. Everything in this era now bounce back to the power of connection 😊

It's Unilorin ooo like you know
The thing can be very frustrating... Is that where you school?

As if I know, wahala too much abeg 😂

No, I would have loved to school there actually sometimes around 2010 / 2011

But connection gave me a better offer at Lautech 😂 two of my younger ones graduated from there though

Lautech too is nice. At least, they don't go on strike these days.

Unilorin fit stress someone.

You are a graduate already? God when 🤭

The strike was hell went I gained admission o. I gained admission 2010 and was suppose to graduate 2015 but I graduated 2016

Yours is still better. My neighbour that studied there used a good 8 years.

I just wish there is a better way for universities to fight for their rights without them going on strike.

Have a good night 😊

Wow, just once! That means you must have left a good impression from your first meeting with her or your uncle is a really good person or something 🥰.

Thank you so much for joining us Mercy, I'm so happy you also left your response to the topic of discussion. Please will you like to get a tag for our next hangout?

I really don't know what made her stop for me whatever it is, I'm a good gal yunno🙃

Please go ahead with the mention. I really loved this conversation even though I wasn't able to engage as I wanted due to how busy my weekend but by next week (by God's grace), I'll be all in.

Hehe, that's relatable because what else can make her do that if not that she find you to be a good girl, hehe.

Oh, that's awesome, I will surely do that. You know some days are like that so just don't worry too much about it 😊.

It was nice having you around 🥰.

Will like to join in the

No problem, I will do well to add you to the list this weekend 😊. Thanks for joining us

Connection is very important infact, if you no get connect or get personal person Wey know person in this country na O.Y.O you dey.
I have benefited countless times from connection like when I still dy school in my final year when one of my lecturer decided to fail me in one of my course from 200l the course Wey I know fail o just to keep me from graduating that year but unto say my church member na our HOD, I still con get my original 200L result for my phone, na how I scale through his trap abi na when dem close portal for registration Wey I never finish registration because say I know person dem open am overnight for me to complete am.
In this life, to grow in all areas you gat know person ooo, for hive here sef if you no know person you got lost
To know person no dey enough, if the person no ready to help na same level you dey with someone Wey no get connect

So, know person wey dey ready to help 🙂

Hi my people. Its been a long time since I came over. My weekends have always been tight. Right now, I am in an event and just read through this post and saw the need to go hide and write this. It's a way to connects will all my friends @hopestylist @nkemakonam89 and every one of you here. Thanks for keeping this alive @Samostically

Connection Is All You Need

This syndrome called connection is what you need to break even. It becomes easier to go through a procedure of a high-level protocol with connection. When you have the right persons in the right places, my brother, it is sweet ooo. That's why you have to keep a clog tag on everyone you meet. Anyone is relevant. Even the man on rags has a way of becoming the connection you need to go through a series.

Benefits of Connection

Among the many benefits of connecting with the rights persons, I want to share some that I feel have impacted my life greatly.

Career Opportunities:
When people are languishing that there is no job in the country, some folks are busy changing jobs because they have connecting, not necessarily in high places but in the right places. Once the need for a replacement is opened, they get called up before it is made know to the public. It will amaze you to know that most job advertisement you have on the internet or national dailies have already been occupied before they are advertised. Get the right connection, dude.

Professional Advice:
With a the right kind of people in your life or around you, be great assures to get the professional tips needs. It becomes leverage to grow an idea or to advance a wish.

Generally speaking, I have heard people talk about grace and favour. Those are great attributes that brings a desired goal but it most times needs the right connection for the works of grace and favour to be made manifest.

That's all what we are praying for, even we are not there, let's have people who are there so that they'll Use their own connection to catapult us to the top. no one can stand alone, we need people around us to help us.

Exactly! for grace and favor to take place, connection must be involved. we'll hear some people saying "yah, I got the job by the grace of God" apparently there's a connection in between before it is made possible. So all what you said is nothing but the truth.

You got the jeck sis. There must be a right connection for favour to take it ground.

No long cap ✌ you have actually said it all.

That job adverts dey vex me like mad. It actually took a while before I got to know that all those well paid jobs in reputable companies were occupied before the adverts sef.

Seriously, those kind of jobs are rotated between those who are connected.

Really rotated but e go soon circulate 💯
