Daalu nu ndi oma Nigeria ibe m, unu onokwa ofuma?
hello my fellow Nigerians, I trust you all are doing great. (For my non-Igbo people lol)
First I'd like to say that I think this Naija weekend engagement thing is genius.
When I first came on hive, I saw this community subscribed even but I was a little disappointed with how dull n lifeless it was so I just moved on and forgot about it.
I'm glad it's been brought back to life and we get to connect with our Nigerian brethren. We get swept up in this fantastic online world that we sometimes forget the struggles we face in real life being Nigerians and all. It's comforting to know that there's a community of people that can relate to and even understand your struggles, it makes it a lot more bearable. I am glad to be a part of this and I hope it stays on for a long long time.
now to the topics...
MY STRUGGLES
I haven't completely found my footing. I'm still tryna figure out a posting schedule that can keep me consistent here and not take a toll on my daily life but this is difficult seeing as unpredictable as my offline schedule is. I hope I find my pace very soon but until then I'll keep doing what I can.
Most other struggles I have boil down to what I already mentioned. Once I figure that out, the rest will fall into place.
Finding post inspiration isn't always easy. This is funny because there are a ton of potential blog topics both on and off of hive but sometimes it just doesn't come. Maybe it's cuz I haven't fully adjusted yet but hopefully with time, this won't be a problem for me anymore.🤞
HOW I FOUND MY WAY/PEOPLE THAT HELPED IN MY LOW TIMES
Hive was this new fascinating world when I just got here, it still is but I can say I can navigate it a lot better than I could then. Having someone helped a lot, My friend @theawesononso got here before me so he played a vital role. Thanks to him, my initial days here weren't as confusing and frustrating as they'd have been without anybody to help.
I had the whole resource credits wahala initially too. I bought some hive to help but it still wasn't enough. Surprisingly, a kind soul randomly selected me and I was gifted a 150 hp delegation from total strangers. The person that nominated me for this delegation is Tengolotodo. I know most of you may know him and you can agree that he's one of the kindest, most generous people we have here. Thanks to him and the delegators, I never had the RC issue again so making posts and engaging was a breeze.
Dreemport has played a major role in this aspect of my hive journey too. The dreem family has been amazing and they are definitely one of the things that keep me going.
Daalu ezigbo enyi m... Anyi nokwa ofuma oo. (😅 Hope I tried with my Igbo spellings?)
Anyway, I can relate to the issue of inspiration, sometimes it's writer's block taking a toll on me or I'm just finding it difficult keeping balance online and offline life...
It's not easy but I'm trying to get past it.
Omo that RC issue was a serious problem for me eeh 😅... I remember disturbing my onboarder with complaints on a regular... I can't even remember how I solved that issue, it's as if it just faded with time.
Wow! You all are really lucky, I'm glad you got to connect with these generous people.
Seems I need to get adopted into this dreem family as soon as possible, lol. Because these testimonies I'm hearing are superb 😃.
😂😂 Yeah, you did great. High five🖐️
I think we all are. I'm sure it'll get better with time 😁

Happy Sunday to you too💕
That's good to know, me I'm doing just fine as well.
Thank you ❤️.
If we all can get a good inspiration, then it will help us a lot in getting out quality posts from us. The struggle is real abeg 😂😂.
That RC is a problem that most newbies will face except you have someone by your side or you don't post and comment too often.
Hmmmmm with the wright Community and contests and engagement you will slowly build your foundation on the platform
..
It was never easy for most of us but we never gave up and now see who we all have become...
Engagement and contests is very important in building a successful foundation on hive 💕💕🤣🤣🙌🙌🙌
Yeahh. I totally agree with all you've said.
I'm not a master engager but I engage as much as I can. I even enjoy engaging which makes it feel like less of a chore.
I participate in contests too but not all because unfortunately I don't always relate to the topics?
I can't comfortably make a post that doesn't feel genuine to me so I try my best to make posts/participate in challenges that I can actually relate to and write genuine stuff about.
ohhhhh then you need to train yourself to be an all rounder, and i am an example, i can talk on any topic including love, situation, economy, heartbreak and many more and partially finance hehehehhe
That's really cool👍👍
I'm training myself lol but I don't think everyone can be an all round genius like you😂 You are going too fast for the rest of us to keep up lol
ohhh lolz, i wish you all the best dear heheh
😂
You too man🥂
cheeers dear
Yes, we wish you all the best dear @kamarah.
Don't worry, slow and steady wins the race, as long as you are moving, you will become better.
Your words are soo encouraging. Thanks🤗😘
You're always welcome dear, I'm so glad there are encouraging.
Yes you are a very good example, keep it up Foxy ❤️.
You were not a master engager, but now you will be, allow people feel your presence and see how you grow dear.
You have spoken well Foxy ❤️.
I totally understand you, for how long that I've been on hive, posting consistently hasn't been my thing. At times I'm a bit disappointed In myself, but I'm learning to be more consistent. Most times at the end of the day I'm too tired to write anything and I just sleep off. Or I start writing and fall asleep midway. If you look at most of my posts, most of them are completed 5 minutes nutes to 1 o'clock, Utc midnight. Anyways, it'll come good in the end as long as you don't dissappear. Just keep posting as frequently as you can, and commenting everyday so it doesn't seem like you left.
It's great to see that @dreemport have helped your growth. Dreemy and co have also been very instrumental to my growth as well. I've just not been as involved as I probably should be.
Goodluck @kamarah
I don't plan on disappearing lol. I love this place so much that leaving will hurt. I've found my online nook on hive and I'd never leave if I can help it.
I don't post everyday but I always come around. Upvote posts, read the ones that interest means comment on them.
I get disappointed in myself too sometimes lol but I'm learning to not always be too hard on myself because I'd rather hive at my convenience and enjoy it than force myself and dislike every second. I don't think you can be fully committed to hive if you don't enjoy it so my advice to you is to not always be hard on yourself. Take it easy and you'll be fine.
Yeah. I'm very guilty of not being a fully committed dreemer but it doesn't make me love the dreem family any less than I already do.
Thanks @b0s , good luck to you too❣️
Of course, you can't even disappear self, I will catch you, lol. You are trying, you just have to upgrade your efforts and see how you keep growing dear.
I'm really so happy we have dreemport, it has helped us really well.
I'm working on this😊
It sure has. Long live dreemport!!😁
Okay dear, all the best ❤️.
Yes #dreemport to the moon 🚀🚀.
I also wish you all the best😊
Thank you sweetheart 🥰🥰.
It's not easy to be consistent indeed but like I already said before, as long as we are determined and focused by setting goals, we can be consistent.
I can understand your struggles my dear but just as you have said, the main problem is your time balancing and I'm sure if you can figure it out, then the rest things will be a lot easier to settle.
And that RC affected me too but I reached out to people and they also helped ME. Tengolotodo is an amazing person and I'm really so happy to have him as a partner.
All the best in striving better here dear.
yeahh🙂
I'm glad you reached out to the right people and they were able to help solve the problem.
You are lucky to have him as a partner lol
Thanks b, you too❤️
Yes, I was reluctant at first because I don't want them to look at me somehow but I managed to ask and he delegated 150 Hp and because I was using it very well, he delegated 1500 Hp, really huge. The day I saw it I was speechless for some minutes and that really motivated me to always do what I know how to do best.
So dear, there is good in doing your best, so always try to put your best in whatever you are doing.
It really is huge. God bless him abeg.
I will. Thanks😘
Amen oo, he really tried for me.
I know you will 🥰.
