INTRODUCTORY POST

[ubie]

Hello wonderful Hive community, I’m a newbie here but already in love with the ecosystem. My name is Ubongabasi Ukpong, from Akwa-Ibom state in Nigeria. I have spent most of my years here in my state, from Nursery/Primary School to Secondary to the Higher institution, University of Uyo, where I studied English Education and earned a Second class degree. I spent some time teaching Nursery school pupils before stepping into the tech world.

I’m not a lover of so many but I love to explore exciting options. I love God and I love the concept of family. I believe that God created family to provide a sense of stability and connection that can make it easier to get through challenges, to have where to run to when the world generally is very noisy. So, it is necessary to make our homes peaceful and loving. I'm blessed with a husband and children that make life very beautiful for me.

Where I come from, “hospitality” is key, ranging from our foods to our manners to how we accommodate both strange and familiar people etc. I love our dishes, ever heard of Afang Soup? OMG! You could die to have a taste of it….. It is garnished with periwinkles, stock fish, dried fish, crayfish, kpomo, and mostly goat meat, with of course the vegetables required(Waterleaf and Afang leaf) . A plate of Afang is mostly enjoyed with Fufu or Garri, depending on individual choices, but I enjoy it with Fufu.

I have a thing for Music, I love singing. I find it very expressive and just move with the rhythm and lines of the song, and inevitably dance to it, if it requires that. I sing mostly in my church, and at Christmas carol events. I’d be thrilled to participate in the “Hive Open Mic” and have fun doing that.

This year 2022 has been really amazing for me, I got introduced to the Tech world, Web3 specifically, and the knowledge has been very rewarding. I learnt about Cryptocurrency and Blockchain, which I find very broad and equally amazing. I work with a Digital Marketing company, Chaindustry. We work with Web3 platforms to help grow their communities, and expose them to the larger world. I actually got introduced to Hive by my CEO, and today happens to be his birthday; Shout out to @empato365.

Is empato the CEO of chaindustry? This is @macchiata from @lovesniper when you have the time, You can read some of the communities in this post that you may like : OCD Communities Incubation Program and for all hive communities you can check https://peakd.com/communities.

Some additional information includes :

• For tips and information as a Hive newbie, click here: newbie guide.
• The important thing is Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog. You can't include content that you don't own without sources. For more information, check this post: Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise. Not to mention, overall plagiarized content is bad for your credibility and visibility too.

If you have questions or concerns, you can hop into OCD's Discord server and we'll gladly answer your questions.

~ @macchiata from the @OCD and @lovesniper team bringing you some helpful tips navigating hive.

Welcome to Hives🙌

Welcome to the Hive community @ubie!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Seven suggestions to consider:

1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, Keychain, Peaklock, and Hivesigner,
3. The master password and the owner key are only used to reset compromised passwords,
4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
7. DO NOT OPEN any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

I found you because @brittandjosie and @jamerussell from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Hiveans available who can help you; you can click to go to The Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Hiving!

I really appreciate you, @brittandjosie and @heyhaveyamet
