Hive Naija Weekly Prompt | Edition 38

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 49 of you share beautiful memories and heartfelt experiences 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.

Growing up I saw and experienced so many rigidities. Some are still happening till now but thanks to civilization in so many aspects of child raising. I'm not the type that loves making children feel uncomfortable or whatever.
Your child is with you and she ain't free because this will happen when we get home. A child who would be bad would be bad no matter how you are with him or her and a good child is not because of how rigid you are with her that made her good.

My neighbor ran into the kitchen, and noticed what happened, she turned off the socket connected to the hotplate and dragged me out with her into the room.
For minutes, I was shaking. The whole shenanigans finally ended, and I could think straight again.
I had to go on the net, to find out more about electric shock, and what it does to people and how that some people end up dying.

But the change for me began when a friend asked me one simple question… I'm not even friends with the guy anymore, and he has because he is now living worse than we were then. Then we were kids who wanted to explore, we never cared about good or bad, we just wanted what we wanted out of our own selfishness. His major influence was his elder siblings, while mine was my inquisitiveness. Especially from age 6 when I was left alone with the TV, and then I started getting gadgets. My friend then was still a far better boy than me, he wasn't as rotten and hardened as I was, and he would even try to tell me to be careful about the way I was living life.

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.

• Job search: The event that changed my life ~ @lightpen

• Child upbringing: I will never compare my child with another. ~ @offia66

• My Never do list of child raising ~ @loveth97
