Hello everyone, my name is Okoye Stanley and I was born and brought up in Nigeria. I go by numerous names Rasheed, Dolapo and my nickname, Swaylee. I am 20 years old (as at the time of writing this post) and today I would be doing a full self introduction into the Hive platform.
I am a student of the University of Nigeria Nsukka, Enugu in Nigeria. I am a 3rd year student in the department of Economics. I am supposed to be done with the university by now but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, my stay has been extended by a year. Due to a disagreement between the government and the body of lecturers (ASUU), we are facing a 2 months strike action. It is one of the most popular universities in Nigeria and usually produces great and promising graduates so I thought until I entered the university myself but that is a story for another day.
About Myself
I am the first son of my family. I am a very playful and cheerful person and an ambivert. I'm the kind of person who lives in the moment, I am always trying to make the best out of life. I can be very tolerant because of the kinds of people around me. In my free time, I play games, go through posts, make posts, listen to music, watch anime or movies, help my parents in their office and chat with my friends.
I like fair and just people, people with a good sense of humor, people who know how to take a joke and people who show respect to others.
I dislike liars, biased people and plagiarists. Plagiarism is something I loathe because I've experienced it first hand and it was not a good experience. I wonder why someone would want to claim the work of others for themselves without giving proper reference and citation. I always try to be 100% original by making posts from my heart and even making my own cover images.
How I Found Out About Hive
I joined a similar decentralized blog (Steemit) around this time last year through a friend @theawesononso and after a little guidance I got a hang of things and learnt alot. I made several friends who have supported and helped me along the way. In the Steemit group, they often talked about HIVE but without shedding light on it. One day @theawesononso sent me a message on Whatsapp and explained what hive was all about and how I could join. I was captivated by his words and tried to create an account through ecency and hiveonboard. It didn't seem to work for some reason but I didn't give up, I kept trying for days before I was finally able to make this account. I would definitely make the best out of it.
The Kind Of Posts I Intend To Make
I love writing mostly because I am a talkative and I have alot to talk about. I am a very diverse person when it comes to making posts. I have had alot of crazy, funny and unexpected life experiences I would love to share. As a business student, there are things I could share both from my life experiences as a young entrepreneur and a student. I listen to various genre of music and have alot to talk about. I also adore art both drawn, painted and even digital, photographs included. I've done a lot of research on cryptocurrencies and I have alot to share with the rest of the family. I also hope to gain alot by reading the posts made here and interacting with everyone. Thank you for reading
