Who Am I?
I'm a self-taught programmer and a graduate of the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. My passion for computers was developed a few years back.
Many guys would follow-up and build upon their passion through the drive-way. Perhaps, they would move it further up the university and study a related course - I wasn't that guy.
I was delusional. I kept chasing after the wind for years. I would hover and bend with the sands of time. Well, I lacked the proper mentorship to propel me into my real deal. I was young. I was passionate. But I was naive.
I neither studied computer science nor a numerate course, yet I knew I loved mathematics. I graduated with a 4.40 CGPA from the Department of Microbiology 🤣 - Microbiology? Yes!
Why I Left Computer?
So I left the computer for a bit, I was busy with some tiny microbes (I love them though). Then something that would reshape the way I think struck me at my penultimate - this contributed significantly to a drop in my grade. I soon figured I wasn't doing what I was meant to do. I decided I would rekindle the fire in me and sharpen my skills. I started gathering materials like a crazy man. I hopped into data analytics and I was tagged "that guy without a direction". Maybe that was right, but I decided that it would only be right with my past.
I learned for some months. I loved what I was doing. I started analyzing data for my mates and before I knew it, some cash was coming in. I was now paying the bills in school. But that wasn't it. Reality struck me when I finally graduated. My skill was outdated and boom! I came across the field of Data Science, Web, and IoT. I decided I would never be left out of the loop of the 21st Century technologies. I started thinking my way out of the box. My new schools became Data Camp, Google, Udemy, Bing, and YouTube.
Perhaps, because I'm a young man with great responsibilities. I love to work for whatever I earn. I would teach high school mathematics and chemistry from house to house for a meager to balance up. I couldn't get a job in microbiology because of the native constraint that has bewildered the profession - a story for some other time (maybe).
This brief narration was and is how I've been struggling to become a better version of myself. Retrace my steps into my passion and rewrite my history. It hasn't been rosy. But the tides have toughened me. I have built some meaningful stuff with coding over time. Worked on a freelance basis for some companies and individuals. I love to extract simplicity from complexity. I love to think right out of the box.
My story is boring - sorry, writing boring stories is one of my gifts too and here I am writing it on Hive. I look forward to pushing some of my creative works soon.
Take life in steps, don't jump, that's what a wise man recently told me.
Who Do I Get To Know About Hive?
I saw with one of my friends around the neighborhood here in Ilorin town and I saw the way she was completely engaged with her mobile phone and I moved closer to know what type of site she was in, I saw the name Peakd, I was confused. Later I called her to give me a proper tutorial on how to go about it but due to her busy schedule she gave me the contact of another huge Hiver here too which I believe is part of the pillar here in Nigeria Community as well. The person of 
He took these pictures himself while having a good time lectures.
Thanks for encouraging me and enlightening me on Hive Community because I have come to stay and make more positive impact through software developing skills.
