Hello Hive

If you are yet to be a part of the block chain that is saving and rescuing people i can only imagine how much you are missing

Trying to imagine my life without hive always brings back this nostalgia about my standard of living and how I was in a hopeless situation.

Reading through countless testimonies of other hivers and how hive has rescued these people from various health, financial and emotional challenges they could not handle on their own made me want to share my success story and journey with hive as well.

No problem is to be seen as small not even this least one called hunger that anyone can easily ignore
People are dying of hunger too.

I have seen people bleed to death because they suffered from severe stomach ulcer caused by hunger and ever since then I do not take it for granted that the food we eat is as important as our health and am grateful for the hive funds that have most times provide the food on our table.

My career started on hive.

This is one true story of my life that makes me see this block chain as one that create career, jobs and destiny and open doors for people.

Been a jobless graduate for years without any source of income was overwhelming.

I graduated with an upper class in Microbiology but the certificate is not of much use in this part of the World, job opportunities in this field of study wasn't common and it was time to look beyond science and search for a career and means of livelihood.

I live with a health condition that wouldn't permit me to do hard labour even if I was willing to do any kind of job just to make a living, my strength was limited physically and this came like a challenge for me and most people in my category. Both public and private organization aren't willing to offer jobs to people of my kind.

I suffered stigmatization of different kind, lost myself, my voice and everything that makes me human, I lived in depression for years but that was nothing compared to the growing hunger in the family.

Having a graduate in the house who cannot work to provide food for her parents and siblings made me feel like a failure.
It was like all the school fees paid were a wastes investment in my life.

Then I began farming, it was the easiest thing I could do with little or no capital, up until date i am
still a hard core

Farming brought food on our table but we needed extra resources to but things we cannot cultivate, stuffs like seasoning and meat.

My challenges took a different turn.

partly I attacked hunger with farming, but the children have to go the school, we needed money for their school fees and our house rent unless we want to become homeless.

Money wasn't easy to come buy and even if we sold all the left over product from farming, after removing what we needed for food, it still won't be enough to settle these bills.

I became more depressed each time the house agent comes to ask for rent raining down insult on our poor lives.

We endured all this until the day I meet with hive, then steemit and that was the beginning of my
breakthrough story. I was on steemit for barely 3weeks before the fork to hive, I wasn't familiar with anything but never gave up on something that has opened me to this great opportunity.

I could farm for my food and hive could settle the other bills
More importantly it was compatible with my health as there was no workload to cause me stress and constant breakdown.

I could also blog about my farm and earn some hive from sharing my knowledge of agriculture on the blockchain, that is a double win for me and my small victories

I never fit in to physical jobs and they never offered me one, quite unfortunate as all these makes me feel odd.

But hive is my job for now, although i won't mind extra jobs so I can save and reinvest my hivefunds into the block chain and am not giving up on the job hunt....

While seeking finances I also thought to acquire some skills,
And with the funds from hive I bought this electrical sewing machine and began my fashion career journey...
I am creating another job for myself with hive funds 😀😆

Moving on.

My challenges began to fade away, we have food to eat and some hive funds to pay our bills.
It was time to reach out to those in need.
Hive has been saving people in various ways, I can see projects in different communities, including charity organizations that get their funding from hive.

• Do you know that even with the market dip, as little as 4hive can buy anyone a decent meal in Nigeria.

I happen to stumble upon this December giveaways where Hive account@psyber-x decided to assist people in the rural areas like my community with some urgent needs.
Some hive funds were sent to me which I transacted into our local currency.
The most urgent need of these children were shoes, food, school uniforms etc.

Students were going to school hungry, barefooted and in torn uniforms.
I did a survey of those in desperate need and went shopping for these lifs, bought shoes and these came more like Christmas gift

Until date I still have children come around the house for tips and some feeding money whenever they are hungry. These charitable deed can never be forgotten in a hurry

My health condition improved with hive...

In July this year, I had a major challenge with my health and was admitted in the Accident and emergency ward.
It was a battle of life and thanks to hive, I didn't need any shameful crowd funding to pay the hospital bills.
I went straight into hive wallet and settled the bills when I became conscious.

Now I have enough funds to buy my routine drugs and truly the rate at which i fall sick reduced drastically.

The summary of this story is simply that hive has rescued me from poverty, hunger, depression, idleness and lots more and this assistant went beyond me to my immediate community

No challenges should be seen as little, unless you experience it personally you never know how suppressing these challenges can be for you.
With hive I can start a career live and be happy.

More importantly I have meet amazing people who are like my emergency number on hive, I can talk to people about my emotional challenges and every kind of battle I face.
Hive account@joetunex is my worthy hive companion and many many friends I don't want to start mentioning names.

Thanks to Hive account@starstrings01 for this initiative, looking back to how hive has helped us made it feel like a testimony time to share our joy of how we overcame extreme situations.

I see a brighter and better future for everyone who utilizes the blockchain well.

I can never imagine my life without hive. A success story I can never forget in a hurry, maybe I could have remained as that lady who is still trying to figure out life and find a placement but taadaaa we are thousand steps ahead now....
