Hello everyone, my beautiful hive naija people, it's another beautiful weekend and we are so happy to have you here once again. It’s another weekend to buzz the hive blockchain even as we connect with ourselves. It’s just feel good to get everyone together every weekend to talk about random things and just have fun. ![untitled.gif](https://media.tenor.com/5e0cISlXlk8AAAAC/quby.gif) ##### OBJECTIVE As we all know, Sam`s Hangout is focused on promoting the togetherness of the Nigeria brethren through engagement and it's also now concerned of the well being of each and everyone who is part of the engagement. This account was opened to make the engagement more personal and official. You can find the [INTRODUCTION POST](https://peakd.com/hive-105727/@sam.hangout/introducing-sams-hangout-or-promotion-for-nigerians-on-hive-engagement-and-support) to read more about the purpose and aim of this account and also do well to follow the account so as to know when a post is made.
Weekend engagement every weekend on Hive was originally created by @ galenkp as he founded the [Weekend-Engagement community](https://peakd.com/c/hive-168869/created) and initiative. I thought it would be nice to have a weekend engagement too in a Nigerian way for everyone that cares to be a part of it. ___ Moving forward, Aside chatting and gisting here in the comment section, Feel free to post your weekend activities in the Weekend-Experiences Community. I'd be supporting and curating posts there! https://peakd.com/c/hive-168869/created Please do follow the rules of the community! And check the [topics here](https://peakd.com/hive-168869/@galenkp/weekend-engagement-topics-week-270) ___

That broke our all time high of 2200+ comments. Everyone came together and shared their interesting and honest opinions about the topic. There were jokes, harmless banter, and valuable lessons.

For this weekend, @beckyroyal says she wants us to discuss the following questions. ***

"What are the 3 qualities you desire in a life partner, before saying I do?."

*** OR ***

”If one of those qualities are missing will you make a compromise?.”
