Greetings! As a community, we have come a long way together over the years, and more exponentially since [The Big Move](https://inleo.io/@merit.ahama/community-alert-hive-naija-on). What we want for ourselves is to have a space where countrymen have a home to share the Nigerian experience and connect with one another. Together, we'll have a blast of a year. Welcome to a new edition of the Hive Naija Weekly Prompts. This initiative is one of our activities to explore our creativity and foster connections amongst ourselves. Whether you're a seasoned creator or just discovering the joy of expressing your thoughts, these prompts are crafted to inspire and ignite your creativity, as well as interact with the creativity of others in the community. https://i.imgur.com/sT6kaWP.png ### Last Edition's Winners: **What a blast this week!
