HELLO ! GOOD DAY HIVERS.
My name is Edegwa Alex, I'm from Delta state (Ozoro) Erovie Community.
I grew up in a family of 9 siblings so when you add my Dad and Mum you have a family of eleven, and that's the first team EDEGWA UNITED FC.
Okay, I'm a graduate of Delta state polytechnic Ozoro, and I studied Business Administration and Management, graduated in 2015.
Picture of me at work
Currently working with Shell petroleum development company (S.P.D.C) as a safety fire fighter and I'm enjoying what I am doing.
Picture of me in my book club
I love to read books, I also love football because I'm a great supporter of Chelsea football club not just me but everyone in my family.
Growing up to discover I am a Christian because I saw Dad and mum always praying and you know what the Bible says, train up a child in a good way, and he will not depart from it when he/she grows. That was my experience and it has never departed from me, but I gave my life to Christ when I turned 14years old and it has been a blessing knowing christ.
I leave in Rivers state, Port Harcourt Obio Akpor local government area. But my place of birth is Delta state, according to my Mother she said I was just a month old when we moved to Port Harcourt and that's how I lived all my life here in Port Harcourt city and I'm enjoying life here.
I won't fail to recognise the person that brought me into this platform-@blacktarri. She's a very good friend, my crypto coach and a member of my church. I want to appreciate her for showing me this great opportunity to do something meaningful with my time outside my work space.
Have also wanted something genuine and authentic, with Hive I think I've found it, and I think can achieve alot with this opportunity in improving my little writing skills and share alot of pictures as well. I'm glad I met @blacktarri at right time thinking of how to improve my social lifestyle online. It has been a blessing knowing her, she's smart and a kind person. But something happened, all the while I've been seeing her, I never knew she's into crypto and hive, until Sunday the 2nd of October that was my break through moment of finally seeing someone to coache me into cryptocurrency, thank you @blacktarri.
At this point I have to be vulnerable to all, I'm a social and funny person. My Hobbies, I sing, dance, play drums, play football, swimming, reading, tennis playing and PlayStation.

Music- music is something I grew up to meet in my family, my mum was a great singer and a dancer as well, a good dancer . Now you can see where I got the dancing skills from, at some point In the house it was more of a competition where we want to know the best vocalist in the family, that my Dad will come out and say" the best sing or vocalist will be give 5 alive juice and that year was a year were 5 alive juice was so popular and you will see us clearing our throat and drink plenty of water just to have the best vocal tone.(laughter)
I remember for the junior category in the family I always took the first position, untill one peaceful Sunday afternoon were my Dad bought meat pie and ice cream as a reward for the best vocal singer, guess what that was the day I lost because preparation met opportunity.
My kid sister had been rehearsing wall the while without me knowing and she did my Dad's favourite song " all that fills my soul is Jesus " I was so weak, because of the love I have for my sister and also knowing she was going to share with me the meat pie and ice cream I was happy within, from that moment I went into daily rehearsals just to win the next award.
Music has brought lot of joy and peace to me and my family, I agree with this saying " music is life" because I experience life in music.
Dancing. Dancing they say is the best form of exercise. But to me Dancing was like music to me, it means a whole lot to me then exercise. Break Dancing was my best growing up and my Mentors were Usher Raymond and Michael Jackson.
I love watching there video alot just to learn some smooth moves, after learning any move I go to competition with my friends in school and in church. Growing up I love competition alot and whenever I lost to anyone go back home and come back the next day for revenge, with a mindset of winning.
Because winning has gotten a strong hold on me and I can't afford to lose, that was the growth mindset my Dad trained us with. Whenever you lose you come back stronger and Whenever you win just know or say to yourself there's more height to attain.
Playing an instrument in church was like fun to me, and I just love to play the drum set, it gives me so much joy to produce a sound that is good to the ears and to the souls of men. So I learnt from a friend that was so good in playing or beating the drum, he taught me but after a while I lost interest and later pick interest after one of our peers got an ward. I was like wow, so they also give award to someone that plays drums, from that moment I took it so serious but I couldn't compete with my friend "Henry" because Henry has gone ahead of me but I was happy for him as well.

Football.
Football is a God given talent, I didn't have to go to school or imitate anyone, it's just a natural gift given by God and I appreciate it alot, you know that feeling when you have something in you that you no longer struggle to make things work, that was the same feeling I'm having up till this very moment. Anything you call me Alex (famzy22) let's go and play football I am always ready. Dad gave me some stroke a lot of time because I won't stop playing football, at some point he got tired of me. I represented my school in different competitions and won so many individual award like player of the match award, highest goal scorer award, highest assist award and different trophies as a team. Already see myself as an international player, trained with some good teams here in Port Harcourt, went on football tours and screening, I can remember very well one of the screening I went for, camp Kanu screening, that was the first time I saw Egauvon former coach of the super Eagles and I was so happy.
Having the big picture already but you know this saying now " Nigeria happened to me" that was just it, and me not knowing anyone that could help me, so I started playing it for fun because I wasn't growing younger anymore. Well that was it, but I'm still good at it, very good and I will be dropping small pictures, so don't lose sight on me, follow me up for updates wink.

PlayStation
Because of my love for football I can go a day without playing soccer games and ps2 was my favourite, but I'm enjoying ps5 now. And my favourite team is Chelsea football club, the London boys and my favourite player was Didier Drogba wow, he's just amazing to watch in real life and to play with on ps2 then. Didier Drogba made me to love Chelsea so much. Blue is the colour.
And also want to thank this group for having me here and I promise you are going to enjoy my presence here. Watch out for more updates from me and see you soon. Thank you
