My Introduction

Hey there! My name is Destiny Erheriene Deon. A.K.A Wildthougts, A.K.A King Deon, A.K.A the latest cutie on Hive 😉.

Background & Origins

I'm from Delta State, Nigeria in Africa & a native of Urhobo. Urhobo is the major ethnic group in Delta State with social and cultural affinity to the Edo people of Nigeria.

I come from a family of so many! Polygamy mixed with polyandry 😁. My mom has 6 children, my dad has 11 but I'm the only child my mom has for my dad. Tricky, I know. 😂

Get it? If you don't get it, forget about it

And yes! I'm a final year student of Petroleum Engineering at the University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria.

I'm also the last child of my mom who is late unfortunately. May her soul rest in peace. But it's been 13 years now so I'm kinda ok.
I'm quite introverted, a lover of science, art, nature & Chess!


Chess History

I first learned chess at an early age, actually I thought I learnt the game but I just knew the moves. Up until sometime in 2014 when I got into the University & met with @samostically & others who were part of the University chess team at the time, then I figured I was a fish (a novice chess player).

But over the years as my love for the game grew stronger, so did my playing strength & in 2019 I won my first local tournament

Hive

I first heard about Steemit sometime in 2018 but at the time I didn't have any interest whatsoever in blogging or writing in general. But after the pandemic in 2020, after reading a handful of books & watching alot of productivity videos on YouTube, I figured I had a thing for writing & content creation in general. So I got re-introduced to Hive by my friend & colleague @samostically, gracias to you brother! & here I'm giving it a shot 🙂
Also shout out to @stayoutoftherz for the warm welcome to the chess community as I tried partaking in #hivechess tournament but got my ass wooped.


Goals & Expectations

2022 is about 10 days away & I feel as nervous as I'm excited about it (January 3rd is my birthday by the way 😉). 2022 is the year I'll be graduating from the University & I've so much I would love to accomplish. Here on Hive, I intend on posting contents on Productivity, Art, Nature & Chess atleast minimum of 3 posts per week for a start (maybe more, we'll see). Whichever way I do hope ya'll look forward to my posts because I bet you'd enjoy it.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hey brother! Welcome officially to hive. I wish you the best of luck on this great platform. There is so much to learn and so much do. I believe we would always communicate as you grow here.


As you explore, don't forget your #Hivechess missions😆. I need you to bring more competition to our strong players. @tungphong @eniolw and @jaki01. There are also a long list of chess players who make Hivechess interesting too.


Lastly, I would love you to join the Hive Naija community. I host an engagement chat every weekend there(fridays-saturdays), it is an opportunity for you to connect with Nigerians here on hive.
