Hive Naija Weekly Prompt | Edition 34

Greetings!

As a community, we have come a long way together over the years, and more exponentially since The Big Move. What we want for ourselves is to have a space where countrymen have a home to share the Nigerian experience and connect with one another. Together, we'll have a blast of a year.

Welcome to a new edition of the Hive Naija Weekly Prompts. This initiative is one of our activities to explore our creativity and foster connections amongst ourselves. Whether you're a seasoned creator or just discovering the joy of expressing your thoughts, these prompts are crafted to inspire and ignite your creativity, as well as interact with the creativity of others in the community.

Last Edition's Winners:

What a blast this week! We had 51 of you share beautiful memories and heartfelt letters with us! We appreciate every participant for taking giant strides to expand their minds with the last edition's prompts. Many were as beautiful as they came. And there are a few that we want to showcase for their exceptional entries and level of engagement in the community.

I know that you feel lost and weighed down. I know you feel like you have to always be independent and strong for us. You carry so much burden and are always ready to drop all your personal issues just to cater for us.I apologize that your childhood was spent taking care of us and always being on the defensive because of us.

Thank you for standing by me through thick and thin, I don't take your friendship for granted at all.
Our friendship is one that I cherish a lot because it came at a time when I was almost at my lowest, but God used you to bring me back to His plan for my life.

I fell in love with someone along the line (in search of water) but I was hit with a blunt verdict. I was told that with what I was earning, my 10 years savings wouldn't be reasonable enough to fund a decent wedding. I was hurt. I didn't blame the lady. She might be right with her statement. I only wished that she took into cognizance the fact I was a graduate looking for a better opportunity but not lazy.

Congratulations to these talented individuals for their outstanding contributions. Each of them wins 3, 2, and 1 HIVE for their positions. Now, we would like mention a few other entries that we deem exceptional.

• To My Favourite Human Being ~ @marriot5464

• A Love Letter To My Family ~ @psalmmy264

• My Hive, My Valentine ~ @jessicaossom

This Week's Prompts:

📝 The Valentine season may or may not be over but there must have still been some highlights for you. Share a personal experience of how Valentine's week went, whether you were indoors or out and tell us about any crazy/hilarious event(s) you witnessed on this year's Valentine's Day.

📝 The year has still pretty much just begun, but there are already some things we wish we could undo, redo or at least witness again. If there's a single day in the past month and a half that you would like to go back to, what day is that and why?

Guidelines:

• Pick a prompt, craft a masterpiece, and be unique with your title.
• Ensure your entry is at least 500 words
• Use copyright-free images and properly source them; indicate if they belong to you.
• Use the tags hn-wk34 hivenaijaweekly neoxian
• We suggest the INLEO frontend to stand a chance to be curated by leo.voter.
• Publish into the Hive Naija community.
• Read other entries and leave comments if you want that too.

The community thrives on the diverse perspectives that contribute to its vibrancy. We look forward to your unique entries this week.
