They call me the Panda because they say I have a rare storytelling writing style and a out of the box thought process (something I feel was influenced by the 16th accidents I was involved in between the year 2011 and 2014. And yeah it was 16; I guess your outlook on life changes when you get that close to dying 16 times.
This is also without mentioning being the only survivor of a ritualist encounter and surviving two surgeries) but my birth name is Eniafe Gbenga and I am a visual Artist and writer from Ogun State Nigeria. I lived most of my life in Lagos, Nigeria though; the chaotic lifestyle of the State keeps me sharp and has lots of stories embedded in it.
 Lagos is a never-ending storybook of awe...and yeah, this is me. |
Writing for me is like oxygen, I feel better when I exercise it daily and often.
But writing has always been just a hobby for me until I made a joke about a not-so-distant conversation with @bobbydones that led to him educating me and telling me about the almighty Hive.
It's been a while since I saw someone that excited about doing anything or involved with something. And he said enough to plant the seed of excitement in me too.
MY EDUCATIONAL STATUS
Okay, I will say it right out of the gate, I am a graduate of Animal Nutrition and Feed technology from the prestigious Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta. I have this passion for doing something major in Agriculture in a couple of years so I took a 5-year course that equipped me beforehand.
Remember my name. 🐼
WHY JOIN HIVE?
Are you kidding? I get to do what I love, meet amazing minds and get paid for it. Count me in! I would say I stumbled on Hive but I have been looking for a platform like Hive a long time ago. Joining Hive is one of the easiest decisions I have made in my life. All 'capping' suspended.
HOW DID I JOIN HIVE?
Like I said in my introduction, @bobbydones gave me a breakdown of what the Hive platform is about and introduced me to a great mind @starstrings01 who with two other great tutors @monioluwa and @olujay engineered my joining of a preparatory platform where they educated me and a couple of people on what Hive is about, Hive do's and donts, Hive stance on plagiarism and many other information that ensured I had a smooth run on the Hive platform and have a good standing over time.
MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE @hive-bootcamp
After attending the numerous meetings on Google-meet and attending many videos and written teachings I realized how technical and fun the Hive platform is without proper information productivity could have been a drag for me but thanks to the @hive-bootcamp led by tutors @starstrings01, @monioluwa and @olujay I am better equipped to build good reputation and meet great minds.

MY EVERYDAY JOB
 |  |
For a job, I am currently a full-time contemporary Visual Artist and I do everything art. Have you seen some beautiful murals at a restaurant lately? Or a Bank? Have you stumbled on some graffiti art lately? Or a painting or drawing? I may be behind those works, who knows? You may need to ask further questions concerning it for me to blow your mind further.
I try my best to be such a force.
