KSAM'S INTRODUCTORY POST ON HIVE
Hello everyone, I am so excited to be part of this wonderful community. In as much as I wish I was here few years ago when the HIVE community began; in fact, to be among its creators ( 😁it is just a wish ooo), I still appreciate the fact that I am part of this great community; I can still contribute my quota towards the growth, uplift and common goal of this community. I really appreciate those who are responsible for the existence, organization and management of this great community (you are doing well!!!).
Woooow!!! This feeling is indescribable; being part of a group of people who are determined to create a better world for people through their talents, gifts and passion. Pheeeew!!! many of us have lost interest in some of our gifts, talents or hobbies because we allow the passion to die off, and others don’t have the platform or opportunity to either showcase theirs or to get other people’s views, comments and opinions. Definitely, the HIVE COMMUNITY is a response to this, and the more we spread the community to others, the more we help people’s passion live on and become fruitful.
So, this is my first and introductory post, and it will definitely be incomplete and total failure if I don’t talk about myself.
My name is Samuel Kalu, rather, permit me to use this order: Kalu Samuel, because it gives me opportunity to formulate my nick name: Ksam or Kaysam. I am from Abia State, the South Eastern part of Nigeria.
I am a graduate of Philosophy from the University of Ibadan, but I don’t argue too much. Many people say we philosophers are known for arguments both necessary and unnecessary, well I barely have time for arguments.
I enjoy creativity, and I also try to learn how to be creative, as well as attempt or showcase my small (tintili) creativity. @starstrings01 has been so helpful to me, and he was also the one who brought me into this community, giving me a wider platform to express myself, and to share my skills and passion. Thank you @starstrings01, i really appreciate.
I love Music!!! Music is life!!! My love for music led me into learning the Piano, then I moved to the acoustic guitar, touched small of the electric bass guitar and finally rested with the electric lead guitar.
After a while I started learning the Saxophone as well, and truly I’ve learnt to appreciate good music more than before.
When I listen to a song, I listen to much more than just the lyrics; I listen to the structure of the song, chord formulation, chord progression, I intune myself to the feeling or emotion created by the artiste, and much more.
I am also a content writer, creative writer, academic writer and article writer as well. I am a video editor, graphics designer, an upcoming audio producer and a one-time web developer. I still try my best to harness these skills and make sure I continue to keep the zeal and passion burning.
Definitely, I also enjoy playing football and participating in lots of sporting activities... Meet the Defensive Mid-Fielder (4)
I will share unique contents and I will take you on a journey to my creative world. Sit back and enjoy the melodious sound of my Saxophone, the soothing music from my guitar and different wonderful pieces of my creative work. I know, I’ll definitely progress with the support from this great community, and I definitely believe that the HIVE COMMUNITY will enjoy my contents, for its uniqueness and creativity.
I wish to thank @starstrings01 and @hivebootcamphub for putting me through this introductory phase. Merci beacoup!!!
Once again, I am glad to be part of this great community; together we will make a difference in the world. One Love!!!!

Top notch introduction post! Welcome to Hive Sam! This is a wonderful place to be that is full of great people, lots of knowledge and a robust tech community where you can learn so many things. I'm really glad you joined us!
With your various interests, I know you will have no issue finding people on here to engage with, grow your account and become another excellent member of the community here. It is also great that you are from Nigeria! I think I now have about 15 or 20 people that I talk with on here that are from Nigeria, I think that is AWESOME!
I look forward to seeing what you come up with! Below are some pieces of advice I give all new users on here, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or tips on things here, I'm more than happy to help!
One of the things I wanted to do is give you a piece of advice that could make this place awesome for you! Talking with some of the people who have been here for a while, we remember one of the best things we did was find other people’s posts through others or go looking and start commenting meaningful things. If you drop small phrases it won’t get you much attention but if you look at a persons post and leave a great comment, a lot of times they will appreciate it and talk with you. If you continue to do this you will develop a friendship with them and will gain followers and grow your account. This is not an easy and fast process. It takes time but the more effort you put in the more you can be rewarded, with limitations of course.
I just say this in hopes you go out there and really connect with people and grow your account. The more we all do this, the more people will come here to take advantage of such a great place.
There’s also a great article that can answer a lot of the questions you may have. Please visit it at:

Hi, I would like to welcome you to our Hive community - Hope you will have fun here - Looks like you got a lot of things to tell about all kinds of things - good luck :)
O, thank you for your warm welcome!!! I am here to share and learn from great minds as well. I will do my best. thanks
Welcome to Hive, @ksam. Wow, you have an amazing number of skills from philosophy to music to creative writing and sports. I'm sure you will be able to share many of your talents here on Hive.
That's a great picture in the formal outfit with the hat. Is a ceremonial outfit? What was the occasion?
Thank you so much!
Yes, I'll try my best to utilize and share all of them, the best way I can.
For the picture, that's a cultural outfit worn by the head or leader of the community. Each item has a unique significance... I think I'll make a post on this very soon..
The event was a Cultural Day Celebration, so I dressed in that regalia.
Great idea. It would be interesting to learn about them.
I just posted the article, you can click this link https://peakd.com/@ksam/the-richness-of-the-igbo-traditional-outfit
well, i also mentioned your name, so you will surely receive notification on that
Thank you once more
