"Even though you're growing up, you should never stop having fun” - Nina Dobrev
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 nice to get everyone together every weekend to talk about random things and just have fun.
OBJECTIVE
As we all know, the Hive Naija Weekend Engagement 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 officia. You can find the INTRODUCTION POST to read more about the purpose and aim of this new account and also do well to follow the account so as to know when a post is made.
A long time ago, I thought, I shared and I asked "Why don't we chat on hive every Weekend?"
And you all said... YES
"Well, we won't be the first as there are some weekend engagement trends already on Hive! But this would be THE NIGERIAN VERSION!"
The last time, the topic was ”BOOKS"
We had over 100+ comments in our last weekend engagement. It was fair enough for the number of participants we had. We hope it gets better from here. Let’s see if we can still make 1000 comments possible this weekend, shall we? 👀. It has always been so nice seeing people who dedicate their time to engaging and sharing their thoughts and ideas with us, I want to appreciate you all for the consistency, quality engagement and your efforts, let's keep them coming. Special thanks to everyone who makes this hang out possible.
I will drop a topic every Friday (Today's topic is below), share your thoughts on the matter, reply to someone else opinion, and interrogate the opinion if you like. Keep the discussion on. If you don't have anything to say about the topic. Just reply to someone else's comment.
Do all these in the comment section, as that is where it all goes down.
This week's engagement starts immediately after you see this post and ends on Sunday at 11:59 pm.

RHYMES
Now to our discussion for this weekend! We will be discussing about “RHYMES”. Recently I was in a gathering where we were reminded of nursery rhymes and I’d want us to share some of them this week. It doesn’t have to be a grand rhyme, just something at least one person can relate with.
- "What was your favorite nursery rhyme?"
- Tell us about that nursery rhyme that you feel most people don’t know
***Remember, the aim of the hangout is to bring Nigerians together so make sure you have this in mind when responding to the questions. And feel free to add even more to it if you have any.
If you think you have a topic you would want us to discuss about, please feel free to suggest them to us. All you have to do is suggest the topic in the comment and tag @hopestylist to it. To our topic choosers, they will receive 10% of the hangout post they suggested the topics. (We didn’t get any suggestions this week).
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...
Oh yes before I forget, the winners will be chosen based on the number of new members they invite to join the engagement. You know what you benefit when you engage so why not let others know about it. In fact I will advise you look beyond the prize and look more to doing something different even for your Naija brethren by showing them the way here.
There are no further rules, please banter as you like, speak any Nigerian language (Igbo, Yoruba, pidgin, Efik), anything, as long as someone else can understand.
With all that said, let the discussion begin....

Yes it was. The first person I heard it from was a girl with this oyo accent so it added extra sweetness to it with the intonation
Beautiful! I don’t even know how the Oyo accent sounds like but I guess it must have been really Nice.
The Yoruba Version of “Mary had a little lamb” is nice and funny.😂

I love this rhyme, too. So simple and lively. I still sing it once in a while especially when I look to the sky and see stars. I just sing it just to feel "being a child" again.
It’s a lovely rhyme. 🥰🥳
Oh wow I love this 😀💃
It's good taking us down this memory lane. So the nursery rhymes I would be choosing is Standard living of which when I (don't let me say we) was a little child, always sing as Sanda lily Sanda lily. So let's go! With the Sanda lily o not Standard living, Lol 😂

@hamokstitches @vickoly come and do yours o
Omo! It took my whole years of living to learn that it isn't "Sanda lily" but "standard living".
And I still haven't accepted the correction, I mean, it's not sweet like that na "Standard living" ke 😂
😂😂 It can never be sweet o cos the Sanda is short and precise for the rhythm. Who standard help? 😂
Like! We love short and precise please 😂
Eshakly... You gerrit 😂
No stress pls
The standard is doing too much there. 😂
Thank you o, my sister. 😂🤲
That’s just it. Everyone should know that and know peace. 🙂↔️

No way! We can't do that 😀
Lol how do you know ehn
I know what I know nah 😄
That’s just it o, my sister. 😂🤲

😂😂 Oya come and pay your school fees to me. I Sabi book 😂😂😂
😂 It's the Mr D and D for me. I'm a Miss though
We know it is standard living now. Recheck the parent post to see that it was stated. But no how, the standard can't sound interesting like the Sanda lily is what we have been saying.

Rhymes!
Proof that I'm getting old @hopestylist, I can't even seem to remember some of those rhymes again😂
Very soon I'll start tying wrapper.
Okay. One of my most intriguing rhymes then was:
"Solomon Grundy,
Born on a Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday,
That was the end
Of Solomon Grundy."
Because howwww?
They gave birth to you today and within one week,you grew,got married, got sick,died and was buried in one week?
Hooorrr
In @merit.ahama voice
@chefqueen, @graat, @goldenproject, @kingsleyy, @abdul-qudus. You guys should find me the composer of this rhyme, I need to have a small peaceful talk with him/her🤲😂
So you didn't hear the name well "Solomon", the wisest man on earth! Tell me why he can't use his wisdom to utilize a week for many years work 😂
But for real, who composed it must have been a very impatient person 😂
😂😂😂
Imagine we're doing history of this man now 😂
It's just 7 lines
7 lines of a lifetime, what could be more impressive than this? 😂
A very straightforward and summarised lifeline😂
AI of today did not do reach this one 😂
They were thinking far.
God Abeg!!! 😂🤲
Abegeth thee 😂
This woman o. 🤣
Na once you give us King James Version. 😂
I didn't go to that school for nothing.
Hmm. You sef you have wisdom. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I saw what you did there
When I heard that rhyme, it scattered everythingI knew about life
I kept wondering how can someone live a whole life in one week 🤲😭😭
Incase you see the composer of the the rhyme, please let's have the discussion together because I have a lot to tell the person cos what was he thinking...his imagination must be very wild 😂
They were cooking beans with our heads then😂
I'm healed now,send me another nursery rhymes composer that will compose what they did not send him.

This ise laughing because I have show, devil is a liar. Last week wasn't really a good week for me , it also affected my weekend, but I'm here now.
This week.
One of my favourite nursery rhymes is "Mary had a little lamb"
You know then , When I was younger , Luke around primary 2 or so, my class was very close to the babies class and whenever those kids start singing , I would just silently be tapping my foot in my own class
I never knew how to sing this time until they sang it in the babies class and since then , it has been the only rhyme that has stuck with me over the year. I don't think I can ever forget the rhyme at all.
@goldenproject @chefqueen @babygirl888
Come and tell me your favourite rhyme

One of the few rhymes i may not forget in years to come is Cinderella dressed in yellow because of the way i useydto sing it wrongly.
The day it was sang at a graduation party i attended i was so embarrassed that i had been singing the wrong rhymes all the while. The good thing is that i learnt the correct words and here is what i learnt
Cinderella dressed in yellow
was suppose to kiss a fellow
by mistake she kissed a snake
how many doctors does she needs
So one,
two,
three,
four,
five,
six,
seven,
eight,
nine,
ten.

How come I am just hearing this rhyme now🤲🤲😂😂😂😂
Which primary school did all of you go to 🤣🤣🤣
I grew up with a lot of people in the house. I had many younger and older cousins. Younger siblings who would be jumping up and down, and older siblings who would be distributing knocks according to size. Every Saturday, the usual Saturday breakfast was Akara and pap or custard. We would gather around and start singing. I knew many nursery rhyme songs, but my favorite that I still sometimes sing is:
London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down,
Falling down.
London Bridge is falling down,
My fair lady!
Take the key and lock her up,
And lock her up.
And lock her up.
Take the key and lock her up,
My fair lady!
How will we then build it up?,
Build it up,
Build it up.
How we will then build it up?,
My fair lady!
@hopestylist thanks for bringing me here. This is my favorite.

You see this rhyme, I only knew the first stanza. I never even knew it had other stanzas. 🤣
Very wicked people.🤲😂
One of them was a primary school teacher, so she knew those rhymes well.
Omo. Those primary school teachers are the real legends. 😂🤲
Did you ever get knocks?
No, babes.
You know they were all in my house—my parents' house. So I guess they treated me specially.
Fair enough. Okay, baby.
Yes, love.

I remember when I was in the fourth grade and my shoes were torn and my mother taught me this poem.... and I didn't learn it by heart but when I did this experiment I learned it and my mother said you go to the cobbler and tell him this poem😂😂 And I did so, but the cobbler didn't understand what I was saying because he didn't know
Cobbler cobbler, ment my shoes,
Get it done by half pass two,
Stich it up and stich it down
And I will give you half a crown
Then I told my mother she laughed and shared it with the family. And then my family used to tease me with hello little cobbler😒🤣🤣
I would suggest these topics...
Favourite subject or favourite childhood myth.

Okay, just a second. Loading...
Wow. Taking me back to those days where we don't have to think of what to eat, or what to wear or even how to put food on the table but our lives were lively and free. We love singing rhymes and my favourite then was...
"Ba ba black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir yes sir
Three bags full
One...for the master
One...for the dame
One...for the little boy that lives down the lane...."
This was a rhyme that lived rent-free in my head 😅😅 and I remember how I'd sing going round the house, especially when there's holiday or mid term break. I hate going to school then 😅😅 and at the sound of "Holiday is coming...." I feel so excited and ready to bid my friends goodbye.
This is official. Hope just learnt the actual lyrics to this rhyme now now. 🧎♀️
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, mama.
Hahaha 😀
So many rhymes we sang wrongly then, only for us to know the actual lyrics later on.
Actually, mama.
We thank God for growth. 😂🤲
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chaiied
I only knew so many rhymes and there really lyrics as an adult 😂😂😂🤲
As kids we were singing rubbish🤣
For real o. For real. 😂🤲
Omo
I just knew about this rhymes full lyrics as an adult 😂😂😂
I didn’t know what I was singing as a kid
I stop at yes sir yes sir🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was searching for a weekly topic and I found this in hive naija community 😁
My favorite childhood rhyme was Twinkle twinkle little star....
How I wonder what you are....
Up above the world so high....
Like a diamond in a sky.....
Maybe this rhyme is the reason that I'm a sky watcher 😁🤣 I can gaze at little stars for all the night.....
@iaiman do you remember this rhyme which we sing in our childhood 💞 I invite you to also to tell your favorite rhyme of childhood in comment section
Haha, yes we used to sing this poem but you remind me of little cobbler, I think you will remember🤣🤣
Yes but I forget about it 😁
Hahah, it's ok, it's good for me😂
