RE: Hive-Naija Weekend Engagement #36 - "Hive Struggles"
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The topic is quite intriguing and easy to relate to. It even made me a bit nostalgic about my steemit days when I hardly gotten any recognition, upvote or notice. I just felt the platform was kind of hard to grow. So I did what any human being in my shoes would do. I gave up and concluded never to come back.
But here I am on hive. It's not like I'm saying hive is a lot easier but it gives that feeling of accommodating and uplifting in a way. What even made it better for me is my friendship with @samostically.
He took out time to explain hive to me down to the last part. I even remember when he was talking to me about hive engine tokens and stuffs like that and I was like guy be fast about it and buy me a nice meal with your hive money. But here I am again and his lectures really paved the way. He made it easy and stress-free to work on the platform. Even told me how I should design my schedule and make out time to interact with the community which is an essential growth process on the platform. This, I am really working hard towards making it work for me despite my busy schedule.
In the nutshell that's my struggle.
Wow. We've for ourselves some good fellows here. Sincerely, some people are ready to help you when you open up to them.
And to make it here, there may be low times, but trust me, you will overcome it.
I trust you @mrenglish and yeah I will overcome.
Yes, you will overcome, you just have to have an open mind towards Learning and growth in general.
Exactly, you are right. In fact I think everyone is ready as long as they have an answer to your questions.
I hope you'll find the footing that you need to grow. Welcome back to the blockchain.
Thanks a lot @iskafan And stay tuned as I grow.
I'm so staying tuned too, hehehe.
Should I call you? To apologise for not replying you often.
Hehehehe.... That number, since you are the only one who had it, I haven't been using it for a while now. 🥲
I hope he does too.
you have indeed made a good friend and if i were @samostically , i would charge you hehehehehe, you go pay money oh, i dey play oh..
😂😂😂😂 I know you are kidding but when true friendship is in play, the goal is the betterment for all.
you get it brr, but make we talk true, you be boss oh, you get a whole @samostically as friend ehn agba awo well done
Na true sha!!!!
Sometimes I dey use the guy brag oh!!! But no tell him oh 😏
Awwwwwwww. @samostically, he says he brags with you o, but we shouldn't tell you😁.
Lol, @omosefe don't mind him. I'm thinking of how to rewarded more people here for engagement. What do you think is better?
Good upvotes on your posts(at least once a week courtesy of aliento) or one or two Hive extra prize.
@olawalium @iskafan @nkemakonam89 @mrenglish @hopestylist. Tag any other person you know has been active here.
I don't really know, well any of them is okay if you ask me.
@sholex94, @balikis95, @quduus1, @dimmablogs, @drstrings please come and read the comment of our beloved Samositically.
Beloved ke
So sorry Sir 🙌🙂.
I do agree with you Sis, any of them is fine, sorry I couldn't be active this week. I'll be here if God willing next week.🤗🤗, you guys have fun. I was trying to stay low-key but couldn't resist your call. Keep up the vibe.
I'm so glad you think as I think dear.
I too was not able to join this week because I had some engagement offline. I'm so honored you held to my call 🙏🥺.
No problem love...hehe couldn't resist it😘😘.
Awwn, thank you sweetie 🥰❤️.
Best advice? Build your stake... Lol.
Lol, well what if I take life more seriously than my stake?
Hahaha... I thought you wanted to support us? 🤷
I think that's what he wants to do 🤔.
Life first Sam 😂👍
Ha 😳. You haven't heard? Aging rate has increased. He will always have life as long as the Almighty allows it.
But stakes? He has to build it with his hands... Faith without work is dead. 🤷
So I should add more curations for the winners?
More curation, yes. But don't forget to build your stake, Sam.
Right now, sincerely, your stakes doesn't match your reputation.
You have literally emptied your account. 😩
But contributing to the topic of our discussion today, I believe in you, I know you can build it all back.
You have always had the Hustler spirit and you have connections too but it seems as though you haven't gotten your priorities straight.
Maybe, you are allowing your friends offline to oppress you to spend more than you should 🥺
Edit:
Imagine if all of us who grew together since last year continue to build our stakes. You wouldn't even have to worry about the rewards for this engagement. We will be here supporting one another in the comment section.
We can do this. I believe in all of my country people. 🙌
I actually I find this very disrespectful and condescending as you don't know why my stake is low.
I lost my mom and even before that I know how much Hive I got to try to savage the situation. You know one reason i still have the support? Because not everyone judges me the way you do without finding reasons.
So telling me I allowed my offline friends or whatever is really offensive
I am not going to apologize for what I said, Sam. I know about your mom, everyone does, as long as we are all here, we might have heard about it somehow. Maybe we saw your update or someone we know reblogged and we saw it. Again, accept my condolences.
But you have to know that if you are trying to bring us all together and you are beginning to worry that we need to be rewarded for always showing up for you and boosting your idea, then, you have to change a lot of things. You have to make sacrifices
We didn't complain about the rewards, you did. We just love coming around and sharing our thoughts on the questions you come up with every weekend. But if you suddenly feel the need to give us support for always being here and making this work, please tell me why you shouldn't hold up on some of your expenses or look for a balance so you can build that stake
I am not trying to compare you right now, but, experience the say is the best teacher, so pay attention to everyone who has started something that brings people together and tell me if you are not seeing that they are making those sacrifices.
I understand the neediness to spend, we are Nigerians remember, and oftentimes, we feel we should show the next person we have this money, instead of using the money to invest in our future. So, forgive me if I think you are using your mum's death as an excuse to churn out a great deal of money instead of building for your future. She's dead and she's gone, you are still here, and the fact that you are still showing up and trying to foster relationships among us requires that you look at this through a different spectrum.
You know you might be thinking you'll be able to keep coming and using the pity mindset to drain your account but it will not do you any good in the long.
Leave sentiment aside, find a balance, a solution, anything, and build.
You seem like a "know it all" person. You're a bit delusional because you say things like you know exactly what's happening? Who says I'm complaining about the rewards? Just you! - I only said I'd like to add more based on the High numbers of comments.
What do you know about me? This a bad mentality you need to kill. - Do you have any idea of what's left behind after she left?
Do you know how much pain and struggle I still go through everyday? Do you have any idea how much debts I've been In for the last two years even before coming back to Hive?
You've insulted not just me but you haven't shown any respect. I'm showing up because I need the money, sometimes all I do is post and go. Because I have to do other things to meet up. Thanks for provoking me, I hope you find solace in your all-knowing and comparing mentality.
Most of my friends that supports me know this, But y'all out there thinking "The pity card" - This mentality is trash, people go through alot on a daily.
Even if I empty my account, it wont be enough. But yeah, say whatever you like. It's a open social media.
@wolfofnostreet , This mindset is something that is not just annoying but shouldn't be allowed. I'm sure you of all people know my financial struggle. Isn't it good for people to ask questions instead of assuming and comparing to the general public?
Hmm, I think that is not a bad idea.
Hahaha
Iska is out for Sam😂
Hahaha.... Today that I have his attention, let me utilize it ooo. He is a very busy man. 🙃
I totally agree with you, I'm even surprised he has replied so much comments, hehehe.
@samostically i think you can curate posts as additional reward as there are some hiveans here who hardly make enough votes, so curation is okay in my view
Yes curation.... @samostically we need this please 🙏
Yeah I think that will be a very pleasing and beautiful reward dear😂😂💕💕💕💕
Who no like better thing 😂😂😏😏😉😉
abi na me sef like better thing na why i follow @hopestylist hehehhe
Lolz 😆🙈
Hehehehe 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😆😆
No body oo.
Yes it will and it would help the weekend engagement draw traffic as well as many will want to benefit from it.
Hmmmm you are doing well Babe 😘😘, where have you been na
I'm doing fine, I didn't get enough sleep yesterday so I had to sleep until I woke up this evening.
I've been really inactive but I hope to be active soon.
Hmmmm, I hope you feel good 🚶🚶🚶🦊🦊🦊, fox 🦊 out
I'm fine, just having headaches and you?
Ohhhh you expect me to be fine, me too I have headache 😔
Why won't I expect you to be fine, the two of us shouldn't be unwell at the same time na 😒.
Hmmmmm then you don't know then😔
I don't know what?
I love your straightforwardness hehehe.
My dear,speak up 😂😂😂
Your destiny helper might be around
Yes oo, that's right Ma'am and that's why I'm so happy you did.
Yes you have a point there and I think it will also motivate others to engage more here so they can win the prize.
You Re doing well babe 😚😘😚😚
Thank you so much Foxy ❤️.
❤️❤️
🤗🤗
I see that, hehehe.
Well I think him building on life is still a way of building his stake or what are you really trying to say? Maybe I'm not understanding you well.
I agree with you.
Hmm, that's wow!!
Hmm, is that really the best? It's not bad to reward people for their efforts too, please tell him to either stick with the normal plan or improve on it as this will also help him build his stake you know 😁.
Hmm, both are good actually... But if I'm to choose, it'll be one or two hive extra prize 🤷
Honestly @samostically , I really cannot say. The current arrangement is good enough.
Exactly, I think so too.
I think the curation seems better
Curation is better. It will be appreciated.
Haha!!! You don loud am 😂
What, this coconut head girl has exposed you, hehe.
heheheh u self you sabi badoolee heheh
Hahaha, sure, when you have sure a good friend you should be proud you do.

Yeah the struggle of attention and engagement is something I can relate to. But we gats to keep pushing either way.
I'm glad you found the motivation to return back. Indeed, friendship is necessary to strive here. I wish you more growth on Hive! 😊
That's right, there are some of us that were not as fortunate to have a friend here but with quality engagement, we've been able to get a lot of friends.
The person who introduced me to hive told me how much more easier it is to fit into hive than
steemit. Each time I complained about little votes (when I started) he would laugh and tell me this was nothing compared toSteemit. Hive is very loving and accommodating, and the presence of communities make it easier to find where you fit in.Hmm, it's like I'll inherit @samostically as my hive mentor oo
You probably should and watch how you will grow.
Hehe, what do you say @samostically? Will you be my hive mentor?
There is nothing to mentor - you're doing far better than I am plus you've got your connections too.
😂😂 Don't whine me abeg
Hmm, I will whine you oo 😒.
Yes @b0s is a boss man on his own, he's here looking for mentor, please come and cut soap for me 🥺.
I think you don't have to ask for permission from someone before the person becomes your mentor because from what I've seen, most people don't accept being another's mentor, so you are the one that choose them and not the other way around.
Yes, knowing Samo will be a lot of positive growth for anyone.
I think I can relate well with that because I've heard so much about steemit from those that have been there and they made it clear that it was a true struggle compared to hive. We are just so lucky we found a place like Hive, were we are welcomed with open arms.
I think you don't have to inherit him, he is already a mentor to so many, you both even play chess, I think he's already your mentor, hehehe.
I've heard a lot about steemit and I'm always happy it's Hive I knew first. It must have been a lot harder than hive but I'm so happy that despite the challenges you faced with steemit you didn't give up on joining hive when you heard of it.
@samostically did a really good job teaching all that you needed to strive her on hive and I'm very sure you have met other amazing people who are ready to help you in any way they can.
Like Samo has said, here on Hive, you just need to create a time every day if possible to engage with others even as you also make a good post that others will engage with and with time your struggles will lessen.
