The Family Reunion and Picnic That Would Never Be Forgotten

Before I go ahead with the prompts for the week, I will have to say that i'm really excited to posting here in the Nigerian community as someone that is not Nigerian... Love the Nigerian people and especially their food :D. I have 2 Nigerian friends and they are lovely, very kind and amazing people.

So based on my experience, I will have to say that the Nigerian people I have met are really kind and lovely. The Nigerian Jollof rice, plantain and chicken is one of the best tasting combos, and also the popular Nigerian egusi soup which is incredibly tasty and spicy too :D. Wish one day, i would visit Nigeria to experience the amazing cultures and meet more amazing Nigerians.

Now back to my entry for the prompt...

When it comes to a memory that I would love to experience again, it would have to be my childhood days. My childhood was fantastic... I had everything a child would wish to have...

Adulthood and the challenges and stress that comes with adulthood has made me miss my childhood days where as a child, you have nothing to worry about... all I did was eat, play video games, go to the park with my parents, whenever i want anything, my parents always get them for me, (only things that were reasonable for a child to have)...

because even though I had almost everything I wanted as a child, I didn't get everything i wanted because my parents were also strict in the sense that they trained me well, ensured that I didn't lack anything, gave me good advice, made sure that I read my books, did my home works and be a good child.

That's something that I give my parents huge credit for... They are amazing.

So looking back, I will have to say that my childhood days is definitely up there when it comes to memories i would love to relive.

Apart from having almost everything I wanted as a kid, the one moment I would love to relive again in my childhood days is "The Family Reunion/Family Picnic" that happened when I was around fourteen years old.

I can remember vividly it was a bright and sunny Sunday afternoon after Service when my direct family and extended family gathered at a park for a family reunion and family picnic... it was filled with laughter, stories and lots of delicious foods... I mean, lots of all kinds of foods and grilled meat.

The family reunion and picnic was a special moment for me as a very young girl because it brought us all together and embodies the warmth of family bonds and the happiness that comes from family connection.

I can clearly remember the amazing feeling having all your cousins of similar age around, coming from far and wide and all gathered in the same place.

I played games with my favorite cousins (I love all my cousins though but there are some cousins that are just closer :D... cousins from my mom's side), listened to my grandparents tell us stories of what happened in their youth days, gave us advices that is still stuck with me... and above all, the love that surrounded everyone of us which created memories that will always be with us.

Since my grandparents aren't anymore, replicating that memory is impossible and which is why if I have a machine that could take me back to those relive memories, I would definitely wish to relive those family reunion and family picnic moments. Those moments really made me see and feel the importance of family love and the memories we created which each and everyone of us cherished.

That's a lovely picture to replicate and family reunions where there is no toxicity but just love is the best. Happy you've already had a first hand experience of the Nigerian way of living. It's a pleasure having you.🥰

P.S: The cousins from the mother's side are always the best. Lol

This is our third and final request...

This is a warning?



I only use Instagram.


However, I will NOT in anyway put Hive on my Instagram post and publish hive for my instagram followers as a way of content verification... A place where content is bullied. A place where content are said to be machine generated for no reason, A place that is not any different from the regular censorship style social media.


Also, I will not in any way give you access to my Instagram account handle in the name of verification.

I am a designer and I have a lot of design works to worry about...


I DO NOT earn anything decent here on hive to worry about some random stranger telling me my content is machine generated or I must verify my Instagram by putting Hive in my instagram post...

  • I joined Hive 4 years ago but was not active because my content was not getting any traffic, which made me to stop.*

  • I decided to come back to Hive 4 years later to resume my love content creation and blogging, and do it on a platform I thought was free from censorship*

  • This is the link to the article I posted month ago... In the first paragraph, I gave my reason why I decided to start again on Hive before writing the main topic of the post
    https://hive.blog/hive-151662/@nieberriee/my-first-time-using-the-inleo-interface-and-i-love-it-7zb

I repeat, I will not include Hive in my Instagram post for my Instagram followers or give you access to my Instagram handle because some random stranger assumes my content is machine generated and wants me to verify, even when I said you should read the content.

The only thing you can do is to maybe downvote my content (the vote earnings on my content is not anything reasonable to worry about)


If that happens, I will simply stop posting here, maybe take my writings to somewhere else or just focus only on my design works (which is already very stressful)


Maybe If I my content was earning something reasonable, it would have made more sense to do the post on my instagram.




PS

When to Ask for It
A common question is when to ask someone to “verify”. The simple answer is when you have found a reason to ask. From a previous steemcleaners report we outlined some of the following reasons and added some clarification:

After reading the Identity & Content Verification Guide: When to Ask and When Not To. on this page: https://hive.blog/hivewatchers/@hivewatchers/the-guide-for-identity-content-verification-reporting-and-lookup

Contributor claims to be someone known, i.e. Barry Cooper or Jeff Berwick
Contributor claims to write for www.mywebsite.com
Contributor claims to be the creator of works found elsewhere on the internet
Curator found reasonable evidence to believe a contributor purchased a photo (e.g via fiverr.com) posted for verification.
Curator found a photo taken from the internet and posted for verification.

  • Where in my profile are my claiming to be someone known?
  • Where in my content is claiming to write for any website. It is my content
  • Where on the internet can you find my content? If you have any, provide the content on the internet
  • All my content images are sourced correctly - I use only images from pexels or unsplash
  • Did I post any photo from the internet and posted for verification?

Why are you asking to post hive on my instagram to verify?

Hi.

You can add the simple word "Hive" to the comments of your last publication, which you can later remove.

"A place that is not any different from the regular censorship style social media."

It is impossible to censor anything on Hive as it is impossible to remove the content. Even if someone's reputation drops under, they cannot be prevented from posting.

Considering the account is currently suspected of identity deception.

  1. False female identity.
  2. Pretending to be Chinese in one of the posts.
  3. Recent use of AI writing tools (The style of writing significantly differs from the old writing and has traits of AI enhancement).

False female identity

False female identity? You now have the right on hive to start assuming people's identity? This is exactly why I made it clear... "A place where content is bullied"

Pretending to be Chinese in one of the posts

A post I made 4 years ago?...
where in the post did i claim or pretend to be Chinese. Translating to Chinese is pretending to be Chinese?... "another proof of content bully on hive"

Minus 4 years ago from age and you will know it's simply a "young girl trying to get noticed on hive, trying different communities to try to get support after not getting any support in her previous posts attempts"

Reasons why I stopped posting on hive since 4 years ago because I wasn't getting any support...

Recent use of AI writing tools (The style of writing significantly differs from the old writing and has traits of AI enhancement).

My reply was for you to read the content... (you refused to read the content and kept bringing up assumptions... Another proof of "content bully"

if you find my content on the internet... Provide the content on the internet.


After reading the Identity & Content Verification Guide: When to Ask and When Not To. on this page

When NOT to Ask for It

Anonymity should be respected unless there is a reason to question the authenticity or ownership of works in a contributors posts.

  • When no “online persona” is found of the contributor
  • When a contributor’s post contains original content that is not found anywhere else on the internet or in print.
  • Because you feel the anonymous author’s post is undeserving of its high payout.
  • Because the contributor's post seems fishy





I repeat, I will not include Hive in my Instagram post for my Instagram followers or give you access to my Instagram handle because some random stranger assumes my content is machine generated and wants me to verify, even when I said you should read the content.

The only thing you can do is to maybe downvote my content (the vote earnings on my content is not anything reasonable to worry about)


If that happens, I will simply stop posting here, maybe take my writings to somewhere else or just focus only on my design works (which is already very stressful)
