"A lie told often enough becomes the truth." — Vladimir Lenin.
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.
OBJECTIVE
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](https://peakd.com/hive-105727/@sam.hangout/introducing-sams-hangout-or-promotion-for-nigerians-on-hive-engagement-and-support) 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 ”[SIMPLY LIVING OR PERFORMING?](https://peakd.com/hive-11060/@sam.hangout/sams-hangout-126-simply-living-or-performing)"
The responses were super amazing and we had over 40 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.
HOW OUR WEEKEND HANGOUT WORKS 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.
Remember to join our discord server to participate in our giveaways!

BRUTAL HONESTY OR PEACEFUL LIES?
Now to our discussion for this weekend! We will be discussing "BRUTAL HONESTY OR PEACEFUL LIES?”. Honesty is often said to be the foundation of genuine relationships, and therefore, encouraged in many close-knit communities. But not every truth is easy to hear or necessary to say. Sometimes, telling the truth can hurt people, or create conflicts that may have been avoided through silence. Other times, a harmless lie can preserve peace while quietly allowing a problem to grow. This raises questions about the advantages or consequences that both honesty and silence comes with.
Here's the question! Do you believe people should always choose honesty, even when the truth could hurt someone or destroy a relationship? In difficult situations where the peace can be disrupted by your honesty, how do you determine when it is necessary to tell the truth or stay silent?
OR
Do you think some lies or withheld truths can be justified when they protect someone's peace and feelings? At what point does choosing peace over honesty become deception rather than kindness? Have you also been in a situation where you were stuck between telling the truth or staying silent? How did you navigate it?
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!!!
Be as simple and sincere with the discussion, hehehe.
Don't you think we are forgetting somebody?... Well, I'm sure we are...
FRIDAY PLANS, OWANBE SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
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.
| Please, do not take it to the extreme. | |--|
With all that said, let the discussion begin...
