"Eid is not just a celebration; it's a reflection of faith and devotion." - The Times Of India.
Hello, my lovely Hive Naija people. It’s another beautiful weekend, and we’re excited to have you here once again. A new weekend simply means another chance to buzz the Hive blockchain, connect with one another, and simply have fun. You'll also agree with me that there’s something special about bringing everyone together to gist, share opinions, and enjoy good vibes. That is exactly the reason we will continue to meet every weekend.
Sam's Hangout is focused on promoting the togetherness of the Nigerian brethren through active engagement on the blockchain. Beyond that, it is also centered towards the wellbeing of everyone who takes part in our weekend discussions and helps keep our discord running with their presence.
Note that this account was created to make the engagement more personal and official. You can check out the INTRODUCTION POST to learn more about our purpose and vision.
Please, do not forget to follow this account so you don’t miss out on future hangout posts and updates.
Our previous topic was ”CULTURE, EXPRESSION & OWNERSHIP"
The responses were super amazing and we had over 130+ comments filled with honest opinions, jokes, harmless banter, and fresh perspectives to learn from. The energy was truly contagious. Now, let’s see if we can beat our all-time high again this weekend, shall we? Please try to encourage responses by replying to one another. Remember, engagement is what makes this hangout special.
A topic will be dropped every Friday on this account. Do well to share your thoughts, respond to someone else’s opinion, and feel free to interrogate or add more context on it respectfully. If you don’t have anything new to add, simply reply to another comment in agreement. We encourage you to tag your friends to join the discussion so we can have a fuller house.
All interactions should happen in the comment section, because that’s where the real gist goes down.
This week's hangout starts immediately this post goes live and ends on Sunday by 11:59 pm.

Now to our discussion for this weekend! We will be discussing “RAMADAN REFLECTIONS”. It’s been exactly one week since the Eid al-Fitr celebrations, and as always, Muslims made the day memorable with worship, family visits, and plenty of food to share with loved ones. However, before the celebrations came the month-long fasting period, which is considered a significant part of the Muslim faith. During this time, many muslims face moments of challenges and temptations regarding their personal relationship with Allah and living a disciplined life. At the end of it all, there's always a lesson to take from the experience.
Here’s the question!
As a Muslim, what steps did you take that helped you stay disciplined and mindful of your actions during Ramadan? Did you encounter moments of temptation or conflict with yourself and others? How did you handle them and what did it teach you?
OR
As a non-Muslim, how did you maintain peace and understanding between yourself and your muslim friends during the fasting period leading to Eid? Did you offer any form of support or positivity to your muslim neighbours and colleagues at work? How was it received? Please share with us
Our physical hangout is still on our minds and big plans are being made behind the scenes. Please check our Last Post for updates, and thank you to everyone contributing towards making it a reality.
If you have a topic you would like us to discuss in our future hangouts, please feel free to suggest it to us in the comment section and tag @sam.hangout to it.
Okay Let's Gist!!!
Don't you think we are forgetting somebody?... Well, I'm sure we are...
To make our hangout more interactive, we have decided to add two events to spice it up.
On Saturdays, we share our owanbe stories, party gists, and even pictures.
On Sundays, we reflect on the weekend and things we learnt so far, as well as share plans for the new week.
Don't forget to join us!!
There are no strict rules as regards this weekend hangout. Feel free to speak any Nigerian language you like, whether Igbo, Yoruba, pidgin, Efik, or others, as long as it can be understood.
With all that said, let the discussion begin...
