”Stories can conquer fear, you know. They can make the heart bigger. - Ben Okri”
Hello everyone, my beautiful hive naija people, it's another beautiful weekend and we are so happy to have you here once again. It’s another weekend to buzz the hive blockchain even as we connect with ourselves. It’s just feel good to get everyone together every weekend to talk about random things and just have fun.
OBJECTIVE
As we all know, Sam`s Hangout is focused on promoting the togetherness of the Nigeria brethren 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 account and also do well to follow the account so as to know when a post is made.
The last time, the topic was “NEPA"
We had over 700+ comments in our last hangout. Everyone came together and shared their interesting and honest opinions about the topic. There were jokes, harmless banter, and valuable lessons. It’s still getting exciting! Let’s see if we can still beat our all time high this weekend again, shall we? 👀. Please let’s try to make sure to encourage every response to the discussion by leaving a comment. It has always been so nice seeing people who dedicate their time to engaging 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. Special thanks to everyone who makes this hangout possible.
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. And also tag your friends to join us.
Do all these in the comment section, as that is where it all goes down.
This week's hangout starts immediately after you see this post and ends on Sunday at 11:59 pm.
Prizes for this week: Everyone gets to win this weekend as we will be setting beneficiary to comment rewarder. So as long as you genuinely engage, you get to share a part in the reward this post generates. Take note, only those who genuinely engage will benefit from this as not all comments will be upvoted.
