RE: Hive-Naija Weekend Engagement #17 - "Hive Naija"

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Of course I know of the community. I do try my best to be active there but there are instances i forget or miss my alarm. Also, the lack of participation on the community can be discouraging. Yet, there are others who don't fail. I'm also a culprit to not being a participant to all telegram meetings. I'm mostly tired on Sunday evenings.

I think we are all guilty of not participating, sadly enough.

It needs to change though. The Nigerian Community should be thriving on Hive. I do accept the idea of new leaders. Perhaps the leadership board needs new directives

Well, the thing about changing leadership is that who would want to take over?

Leadership thing is Nigeria is all about money 😂😂😂... Na joke ooo..

Its not easy to take responsibility sometimes without some salary or added advantage... The thing no easy..
I don't even have the quality of a leader, just following anyone that's ready to lead because I often feel that I won't do better than him when am in his position.

That's how Hive works generally. You see some (400 words) posts with $200 and some 4000 words with ($3). What do you think is the cause?

No salary, no added advantage, just criticism now and then.

When I was hustling for the weekly rewards, someone went to complain that I was being partial.

Crazy thing is, I'm exempted from receiving rewards o. In a bid to be as fair as possible. Just doing it for the love of it but people still dey vex.

I agree. But trust is important. I didn't create the community. At this point, I'm only allowed to share posting keys because the money in the community wallet is important.

I'm legit ready to step down for anyone who has the time to handle the community better.

I need to start rallying for people to support with rewards. I was just tired of toasting men every week to release their money.

Looks like I'll have to start doing it again. Once we get weekly rewards the engagement will come. Hive is all about money these days.

Why not plan your activities then? I do that every night before bed. I align what I need to do according to their priorities and then, I take my phone, set alarms on each one. The alarms blare when I need go focus on something else. Trust me it helps. You just have to discipline yourself not to snooze the alarm 😂

You are even trying well done.
How about maybe during the meetings suggestion should be made for the weekly prompt
Like maybe we have for the month of April education so we conclude in the meeting what part of education s we talk about every week all through April.
For the month of may maybe politics and we conclude every week what part of politics we talk about all through may
And maybe June economy and we conclude every week what part of economy we talk about..e.t.c
What do you think?
