Sam’s Hangout #108 - “VOTING AND TRUST”

"Democracy is the only system that persists in asking the powers that be whether they are the powers that ought to be." - Sydney J. Harris.

Hello, my lovely Hive Naija people. It’s another beautiful weekend, and we’re excited to have you here once again. A new weekend simply means another chance to buzz the Hive blockchain, connect with one another, and simply have fun. You'll also agree with me that there’s something special about bringing everyone together to gist, share opinions, and enjoy good vibes. That is exactly the reason we will continue to meet every weekend.

OBJECTIVE

Sam's Hangout is focused on promoting the togetherness of the Nigerian brethren through active engagement on the blockchain. Beyond that, it is also centered towards the wellbeing of everyone who takes part in our weekend discussions and helps keep our discord running with their presence.

Note that this account was created to make the engagement more personal and official. You can check out the INTRODUCTION POST to learn more about our purpose and vision.

Please, do not forget to follow this account so you don’t miss out on future hangout posts and updates.

Our previous topic was ”SPACE MISSIONS vs EARTH NEEDS"

The responses were super amazing and we had over 200+ comments filled with honest opinions, jokes, harmless banter, and fresh perspectives to learn from. The energy was truly contagious. Now, let’s see if we can beat our all-time high again this weekend, shall we? Please try to encourage responses by replying to one another. Remember, engagement is what makes this hangout special.

HOW OUR WEEKEND HANGOUT WORKS

A topic will be dropped every Friday on this account. Do well to share your thoughts, respond to someone else’s opinion, and feel free to interrogate or add more context on it respectfully. If you don’t have anything new to add, simply reply to another comment in agreement. We encourage you to tag your friends to join the discussion so we can have a fuller house.

All interactions should happen in the comment section, because that’s where the real gist goes down.

This week's hangout starts immediately this post goes live and ends on Sunday by 11:59 pm.

Remember to join our discord server to participate in our giveaways!

VOTING AND TRUST

---

Now to our discussion for this weekend! We will be discussing "VOTING AND TRUST”. As the 2027 presidential elections in Nigeria draws closer, conversations around the outcome have begun to gain momentum both online and offline. There has also been a noticeable push for voter awareness and increased participation across the country. However, the aftermath of the last elections still feels sour in the hearts of many, with both young and old expressing disappointment over the normalized electoral malpractice and questioning whether their votes truly count. While some remain hopeful that active participation can still drive change, others feel unsure if the system will reflect the will of the people.

Here’s the question!

OR

Our physical hangout is still on our minds and big plans are being made behind the scenes. Please check our Last Post for updates, and thank you to everyone contributing towards making it a reality.

If you have a topic you would like us to discuss in our future hangouts, please feel free to suggest it to us in the comment section and tag Hive account@sam.hangout to it.

Okay Let's Gist!!!

Be as simple and sincere with the discussion, hehehe.

Don't you think we are forgetting somebody?... Well, I'm sure we are...

FRIDAY PLANS, OWANBE SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY REFLECTIONS

To make our hangout more interactive, we have decided to add two events to spice it up.

On Saturdays, we share our owanbe stories, party gists, and even pictures.

On Sundays, we reflect on the weekend and things we learnt so far, as well as share plans for the new week.

Don't forget to join us!!

There are no strict rules as regards this weekend hangout. Feel free to speak any Nigerian language you like, whether Igbo, Yoruba, pidgin, Efik, or others, as long as it can be understood.

Please, do not take it to the extreme.

With all that said, let the discussion begin...
