“Every day is a good day. There is something to learn, care and celebrate." - Amit Ray
Hello everyone, my beautiful hive naija people, we at Sam.hangout sincerely apologize for the delay and lack of seriousness for the past weeks, a lot has been happening with our editor 
OBJECTIVE
As we all know, the Hive Naija Weekend Engagement is focused on promoting the togetherness of the Nigeria brethren together through engagement and it's also now concerned of the well being of each and everyone who is part of the engagement. This account was opened to make the engagement more personal and official you can find the INTRODUCTION POST to read more about the purpose and aim of this new account and also do well to follow the account so as to know when a post is made.
Last week, the topic was "HIVE/LEOTHREADS"
We had over 200+ comments last week which was great despite the fact that we had just few people who engaged, I want to appreciate you all for the consistency, quality engagement and your efforts, let's keep them coming ya all. Special thanks to everyone who makes this hang out possible.
A long time ago, I thought, I shared and I asked "Why don't we Chat on hive every Weekend?"
And you all said... YES
"Well, we won't be the first as there are some weekend engagement trends already on Hive! But this would be THE NIGERIAN VERSION!"
I will drop a topic every Friday (Today's topic is below), share your thoughts on the matter, reply to someone else opinion, and interrogate the opinion if you like. Keep the discussion on. If you don't have anything to say about the topic. Just reply to someone else's comment.
Do all these in the comment section, as that is where it all goes down.
There are no further rules, please banter as you like, speak any Nigerian language (Igbo, Yoruba, pidgin, Efik), anything, as long as someone else can understand.
This week's engagement starts Immediately after you see this post and ends on Sunday at 11:59 pm.

SOCIAL MEDIA
For this weekend, we will be talking about the impact of social media on us. The internet has affected everyone of us in one way of another and today is that day where you share your experiences with us no matter how little it might be, we want you to please say something, you might be helping someone out here.
So we want to know...
- Do you regret being a part of this world on your device?
- What have you benefited or lost because of social media? (Note! It could be anything as far as to your self)
As we recently discussed, we will be doing most of our engagements on threads but you can also feel free to comment here, your convenience is our top priority 😊. We are having the same topic of discussion on the thread too so it is going to be just perfect!
- Let's head to the Leo thread for this weekend 👉Leothread link
I can't wait to see all of your responses to the thread question and I do hope that we get many more people joining us this week to make the discussion more fun and enjoyable and entertaining for everyone.
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...
Oh yes before I forget, there are also prizes for those that did well to invite someone new to the party and also you that has done well to invite someone you are also not left behind because you didn't leave anyone behind. But wait... Not so fast, this time you have to be more intentional about your invite, yes that's right...you know what you benefit when you engage so why not let others know about it. In fact I will advise you to look beyond the prize and look more to doing something different even for your Naija brethren by showing them the way here.
