Embarking on a journey is often more than just moving from one place to another; it’s about the experiences, the connections, and the stories that unfold along the way. My trip from the busy city of Lagos to the historic land of Abeokuta was no different. It was an adventure fueled by excitement and purpose as I set out to meet my good friend and also attend hive Social Xperience (HSX), an event that encourage social growth, networking, and creative development . Here's my journey into Abeokuta for the first time, the sights, the moments, and the essence of HSX that made it all worthwhile.
Me and @iam-gifted being friends for years now since childhood, attending the same parents church and also having abit of things in common,we made plan to have a fun trip this December for it as being a while since we meet since he stays in Abeokuta and I reside in Lagos... Different plan was made for this December since it was a festive period but we were unable to meet because of my schooling and the distance from Abeokuta to Lagos.
But lucky for us my school went on break early and around that time was when @iam-gifted messaged me and asked me if I will be able to come to abeokuta and spend some few days with him, From the look of things I knew I could not deny that invitation as we have been planning to meet for a while now and that these will be a time for us to chill, connect, share insight and get creative with each other.
I was still planning on how I will get to Abeokuta and spend the weekend with him suddenly I got an invitation from him about the HIVE SOCIAL XPERIENCE in which he was the convener along side @olujay being his co host... LoL being an old existing member who joined in 2021 but misplaced his key from logging in and I got discouraged then..... I knew this was the best time for me to get back on hive after reading and listening to the progress my friends had made year back.
The event became a "I must attend thing" for me, lucky for me I registered and the date picked which was 10th of December was also the date I planned to visit him.... So The day came and I boarded a cab and the journey began.
THE JOURNEY EXPERIENCE
For my first time going to Abeokuta... It was okay but stressful,I had to sit down for a very long hour and this was not use to me, I do travel but I guess this one was a little bit different from the orders but yeah the journey was such a great one.
I saw a lot of places I had only heard about on television or when being spoken to from MKO ABIOLA STADIUM to FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE, ABEOKUTA and some many exotic sight I could not mentioned, it was such a wonderful journey... LoL I even almost missed my way before getting to the event but all thanks to my friends @olujay and @iam-gifted for putting me through the right path.
Eventually I got to Abeokuta late, I think an hour after the program had commensed but I was still able to participate in most of the agenda for the day and learnt a lot and I mean a lot for the convener to order speaks.... You know when you leave a place for a while and come back, then you notice how much progress that has been made, that was the exact feeling I was getting in the event... I could not just blame myself for leaving years back but I guess all that happened was just to teach me how to be consistent and devoted.
It was an event filled with insight and self improvement talk. Kudos to all the crew that made it a success, From the planning, to the agenda, to the games and entertainment. It was all top notch.
I will be sharing some pictures of the event here even though the photographer didn't take a single shot of me but still I will share orders.
Yeah After the event we went to his place where i planned to stay for few day but eventually spent a week... Yeah a week, I guess we just had a lot of memories, experience and untold story to share and talk about, it was quite a wonderful time with him and his friends. I enjoyed every bit of it.
I took my leave today and I just wanted to say a very big thank you to my friend @iam-gifted for having me around. It was such a great time in Abeokuta and it's households.
Yeah it's time to take my Journey back to Lagos and get back to my daily activities that I left behind.
Bye for Now.... Peace out♥️
