Our first hive meetup: Nigeria

Hur hur hur, hurrayyyy!!!!!

Why the jubilation?

Ohh, have you not heard? Something extraordinary happened in our city 2 days ago. Something that haven't been heard of though I've been imagining it, took place just on Saturday, the 6th day of July 2024.

Now, before i dig deep into it, let me say hi to the community first.

Good day friends, am the only Nigerian Marajah on hive who is proud of hive. Though its been a while i haven't written anything in Blockchain as a result of health issue,(my next post will throw more details) yet, something revived my motivation and am going to drop the story with you guys.

Now, let's goo.......

On the above said date, i dressed up with my hive-logo t-shirt to our aba hive office located at 208 Azikiwe road. Why going to office? Hahaha, i went there for our first hive meetup.

Below are informations you need to know about this meetup.

The need for meetup

Its obvious that man alone can easily be deceived and defeated while majority can't. Therefore, to succeed in business, we need each other both for encouragement, motivation, correction as well as faithfulness.

With the above points in mind, we arranged for a meetup and below were the points we discussed after reviewing this mighty motivating post from @steevec. Honestly, we Nigerian hivers are sleeping, snoring, slumbing and dying. But, we must wakeup.

Meetup points

  • Personal Hive growth challenges and possible solutions
  • Our group savings.
  • Growth as a group, sure way to success
  • Your ideas/suggestions

While reviewing all the above points, we saw the need to work shoulder to shoulder on our hive journey. Also, individually, we pointed at the various reasons and challenges why we are lacking behind. Some of those reasons are based on lack of motivation.

For sure, all of us that attended the meetup clearly saw the need why there should be regular meetup among hivers in our city. Therefore, we now have a unanimous resolution to always hold a meetup every last Saturday of each month. Though, with time, there may be need for adjustment(either once a week or twice a month)

After discussing and agreeing on how to grow our group account (@threads247), and other important issues, we enjoyed some cool special selfies with each other. Take a look at them.

Next, we switched over to refreshment which is fried rice and meat and we all ate to our satisfaction.

The participants are too small when compared to the number of hivers in Nigeria presently. But, in time to come, our meetup attendance will upgrade and we are hoping to hear from our Lagos friends since their representative @beuty197 attended all the way from lagos. And also from our Calabar friends because their representative @ijelady also attended the meetup. Therefore, Lagos and Calabar hivers are seriously warming up for their meetup.

Souvenir

At the end of the meeting, our able leader, @fokusnow surprised us all with a gift. Would you like to see what the gift is? Hahahaha, look down 👇

To me, its a special kind of support to all of us as content creators.

Its also a special way to say "Goodbye to us".

The end

The meetup ended around 3pm and we all returned to our various destinations happily and well motivated.

Personally, because I've been away from Blockchain a while, laziness started eating me up but with the aid of this meetup, am back to work. Yea, i must onboard new users who will by no means fail to add luster to the beauty of hive. Yea, i must impact something useful to hive from now on.

Byeee.
