As at the time of writing this piece it was 8:00 GMT+1 and right here in Lagos Nigeria the weather is dusky and heavy with light showers that might continue the rest of the day. Well, we’re not privileged with the best of roads (quite typical of an African country home), so its presently muddy and sticky too. I wouldn’t advice anyone to step out on a day like this else you might catch a flu or worse a fever (medically that still surprises me though). Do you want to know about me? I bet you do (smiles).
My name is Raphael Samuel Godwin Okhawere (the four names right? I know, but that’s story for another day). I’m the first of 4 kids. Have you ever heard about Nigeria? What did you hear about Nigerians? I’d like to get your replies in the comment section. Anyways, back to moi (me), I’m an indigene of Edo state Nigeria. I like to call it the most traditional state in the African continent (I’d like to hear your arguments too in the comment section, that is if there’s any). I’m 5’9 and quite slim but not lanky, hahaha.

So I’ve been on Steemit about 3years ago with the username 
Professionally, I’m a Photographer turned Cinematographer turned Graphics designer (trust me you stay in a country like mine and you’d be surprised how many trials you have made on different trades). However, the good thing about this adventure is that I’m good in all that I do. I’m your plug for Logo Designs, branding, in photography I’m down for portrait photography and wedding photography and as a Cinematographer, I’m your hook up for wedding trailers and product adverts.

Now having said all that, I have thought hard what I’m to do with my brand new Hive account and I figured I’d like to express myself. This is going to be my get away plug to express how I really feel so do not worry, I might not be boring you with my professional work (not making any promises though). What I do know for a fact is that I would be blogging on a series DIARY OF THE NIGERIAN BACHELOR #dotNB. And I promise you all its gonna be fun (I’m already excited).
Alright, let’s not forget I want to get your views in the comment section. What have you heard about Nigeria and for my fellow Africans would you argue about Edo state being the most traditional state in all of Africa?
Oh!!! Lest I forget please be generous with your upvote, likes, and comments (emphasis on the upvote) it would be encouraging to see that people wanna hear from me more. I’d like to stop here and start preparation for Series of #dotNB.
Thank you for reading, I love you all.
