“Every day is a good day. There is something to learn, care and celebrate." - Amit Ray
Hello everyone, my beautiful hive naija people, it's another beautiful weekend and we are so happy to have you here once again to make the engagement fun as always. It's so sad that for some weeks now the engagement hasn't been as it used to be and we are really thinking of how to revive the hangout and I think it's not out of place to discuss about how to do it better for this weekend. I know it's not always easy to be consistent here but I do think that there may be something we are not getting right and it is always wise to put heads together.
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 "A BETTER Hangout"
We had over 200+ comments last weekend, it was so nice seeing a lot of people who engaged and sharing their thoughts and ideas with us, 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.

DOING IT BETTER
Last weekend, we discussed about the Sam.hangout and different ways we think we could do better and all and we were able to get really beautiful suggestions from most of us, so today, we are going to be discussing about some of the suggestions we had and ways to do it better.
So we want to know...
- HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THE HANGOUT SHOULD LAST FOR?
- WHAT GAMES DO YOU THINK WE CAN HAVE HERE ON THE HANGOUT ONCE IN A WHILE?
Remember, the aim of the hangout is to bring Nigerians together so make sure you have this in mind when responding to the questions. And feel free to add even more to it if you have any. And also, we all should do well to share our responses on Leothreads also and share the links here on the hangout so others can go and engage on it. Also don't forget to use the #samhangout and #leothreads (it will be a determinant for choosing our winners).
In the spirit of implementing some suggestions, we have chosen our last week's winner 
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.
