My Introduction to hive
The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow... Bill Gate
In my opinion, the internet has already became the global village of today! It's pleasurable to be part of that village.
Who am I?
I'm Daud Bolaji, an educational administrator, a teacher,a trainer, a research student, an entrepreneur, a father.
I had my degree, Masters and currently undergoing a Ph.D program in the Science Education department (Physics) of the better by far University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria. I've been managing an Educational Institution for 13years now. That journey in administration has been instrumental in earning me experiences in varied aspect of human endeavours. I've served as a State Secretary of National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools, Kwara State Chapter, Nigeria. Through this, I further developed and still developing the 4C's prominent skills of the 21st Century: Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Creativity.
I like to meet people that would have multiplicative influence on my reasoning. I like to utilize the little knowledge I have for the betterment of man. I'm an ambassador of Young Dreams Impact foundation (YODIF),Nigeria. I like to explore nature but have not been actualizing that. You can take me to places, I'll be waiting for your invitation. I like to eat beans and other food we can get from it. I like our local food(Iyan,Amala,Ekuru), never mind I will publish these food and how to make them with time. Are you interested in that? Pls let me know.
What am I expecting from these communities?
Learning is Continous and it's from craddle to grave. I'm here to further know the wonders of this world through the creative people herein. I'm here to be exposed beyond the local view and boundary of my location. I'm here to tap into beautiful offers these communities present. I'm here to be part of the global village.
What do I have to offer the Communities?
Adminitions. My view and thought. My experience. My little knowledge.
Truly, we now live in a accessible global village and I'm happy to be part of it.
Is there any thing more you will like to know?
Thanks for reading

Welcome to hive! I’m glad that you’re on here with us, it’s a wonderful place full of lots of great people!
I am happy you joined us! We have quite a good community from Nigeria going for sure. One of the things I suggest is to find a community that you are interested in by searching through the communities and commenting on peoples posts. Commenting is more important in the beginning than posting so give that some work and you can grow your audience. Soon you’ll become a great member of our community! Wishing you the best!
We’ve got a beginner zone, so-to-speak that has lots of important information you can learn from. I would recommend you check it out to learn some stuff about the place, lots of great information is posted there.

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.
With commenting and posting, we consume what’s called ‘resource credits’ and in the beginning you don’t have a lot, you have to earn more. If you want to consistently comment and post, the website https://giftgiver.site/ does 10 day delegations for you to increase your credits to comment or post. Give it a try if you need some! Please feel free to ask me about this if you are confused!
There’s also a great article that can answer a lot of the questions you may have. Please visit it at:

Here are also some great communities of people you can check out! The list is a work in progress so please take them as suggestions but there are a LOT of others besides these!

Hello, @bolajidaud! This is @anggreklestari from the @OCD team. We saw that you already posted your first post here in Hive Blockchain! Congratulations and welcome!
Well, you can explore the communities that are suitable for your content. You can read some of the communities in this post: OCD Communities Incubation Program
For tips and information as a Hive newbie, click here: newbie guide.
The important thing is Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog. You can't include content that you don't own without sources. For more information, check this post: Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise.
If you have questions or concerns, you can hop into OCD's Discord server and we'll gladly answer your questions.
Have a great day!
