Hive-Naija Weekend Engagement #58 - "SOCIAL MEDIA/LEOTHREAD"
“Every day is a good day. There is something to learn, care and celebrate." - Amit Ray
Hello everyone, my beautiful hive naija people, we at Sam.hangout sincerely apologize for the delay and lack of seriousness for the past weeks, a lot has been happening with our editor @hopestylist and even the host @samostically. The truth is, we have been trying our best to make sure to keep the hangout going but at some point we just couldn't make it happen and we are so sorry for that. Today being another weekend, we are having our hangout at a reasonable time and we hope you are just as ready for it as we are.
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 "HIVE/LEOTHREADS"
We had over 200+ comments last week which was great despite the fact that we had just few people who engaged, 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.

SOCIAL MEDIA
For this weekend, we will be talking about the impact of social media on us.

So we want to know...
- Do you regret being a part of this world on your device?
- What have you benefited or lost because of social media? (Note! It could be anything as far as to your self)
As we recently discussed, we will be doing most of our engagements on threads but you can also feel free to comment here, your convenience is our top priority 😊. We are having the same topic of discussion on the thread too so it is going to be just perfect!
- Let's head to the Leo thread for this weekend 👉Leothread link
I can't wait to see all of your responses to the thread question and I do hope that we get many more people joining us this week to make the discussion more fun and enjoyable and entertaining for everyone.
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.
Hello everyone, it's another weekend for engagement and learning from ourselves as brethren, here's a Link to the thread for this weekend, feel free to give us your thoughts on both the thread and the hangout.

To be sincere this weekend in Nigeria is not good at all. Hunger everywhere dre because of cbn naira change policy.
People are dying and non of their adjustment is helping any of the situation at hand.
This is so true, the result of the redesigning and policies is not nice at all
And the masses are suffering
Happy weekend
Happy weekend Kwa? Hmmm, hunger and starvation is all over the country. People are now killing each other
This is not the way forward for a country to be sincere. We need God in this situation.
He is always in the situation, watching us trying to do as if he is not there, lol
Are you trying to say you have not eaten? I know there are some that have not eaten but you have you not eaten?
Hunger don wire me oo. I must confess. I really need help now. But, most importantly now, I don't have enough data. 😭

My God will surely show you favour in return. He will replenish your pocket hundred times. Am grateful. Thank you so much. You don't really know what you did for me. You just took away lofty burden from me.
I was just smiling and feeling so grateful to God for using me as an instrument to help you at this point in time, let's just thank God for letting our paths cross. I'm happy the little is going to serve 🥰

Hello! My people, my people.
Long time, no see. It good to be back after a short but long break. This week we are talking Social Media. For me, it has the good, the bad and ugly part. I will try to share my personal view in the following underneath paragraphs.
Benefits
• Social media is the new home for entertainment. Discussions on many topics including marriage, career and education is easily accessible via social media. I have benefitted in no little measure from the social media archives on related subject matters.
• Entertainment has got a new hub in social media. This is where people now go to get some relaxation or entertainment like comedy, music, news and the likes available in social media.
• Marketing of product is one benefit that we have gotten through social media. This has also empowered many people who now make ends meet via the platform.
During the covid-19 lockdown in Nigeria in 2020, I discovered that social media is the next goose laying the golden egg. As such, I discovered some platforms like noise.cash, read.cash and uptrennd (of blessed memory). These platforms helped me through the period to make some cool cash through writing fictional stories.
Losses
First, social media is one thing that has caused a huge boundary in families. This is so because it takes attention. For instance, in reality, whenever I am on my phone, unusually don't like to be disturbed and my wards have seen this as a danger to come near me at that time.
There is also the issue of fraud via the social media. Sometimes, a message will just pop for you to fill a form containing vital Information that may link up your bank or other valuables. Hence, a lot of people, especially novices have lost their personal effects through social media.
To say the least, social media can be described easily as both a blessing and a curse.
Many people, my people! @nkemakonam89 @abdul-qudus
How's the weekend going? Have you guys gotten the new naira notes already?
Social Media can be a blessing and a curse, it's also paramount for us to use it in the right way, enjoy its benefits positively and be careful so we don't fall into the arms of scammers.
Talking about scammers, that's one thi Mn g that have scared people out of the social media space.
It's a great task to moderate a busy platform as this, @samostically and @hopestylist. I understand how difficult it could be but we are glad to be back.
I just came across this today while reading on different articles but trust me I'm here to stay...
We are so happy to have you here to stay, we hope to see you this weekend also.
It can only happen in the leofinance thread. I seem to not know how to navigate through it personally
It can happen both here and on leothreads but we just encourage people to use the threads.
What problems are you having?
