My name is Ogu Joshua, I was born on the 30th of April. I am a Nigerian who lives in Port Harcourt, Rivers state. I school in Rivers state university. I had always wanted to be a nurse but due to certain problems in Nigeria's educational system,I had to settle for the medical laboratory science course.
I am who you can call an introvert especially to those who are not close to me. When growing up I was always quiet and stayed indoors. I was always inside because of my phobia for dogs when I was little and we happened to have four big German shepherd dogs for security reasons. I have three siblings and I am the last child. My senior sisters are twins and I was always fond of them much more than my senior brother cause I always felt he had problems with me because of jealousy which I saw no reason he should have. Soon when I was at the age of 6 my sisters were sent to boarding school. And I was left with my brother who I couldn't do anything with because of how he intimidated and cheated me any chance he got. I mean he was much bigger than me and I looked way smaller than my age so I didn't usually consider the option of fighting with him. I just avoided him a lot.
With all the time I had alone at home having both working parents and a brother who I always tried my best to avoid, my senior brother was later sent to a boarding school too, so I started drawing and writing stories. Sometimes I would draw comics which I imagined. I have a very wide imagination. I took drawing as a hobby, but I didn't really get the chance to develop it. My parents were always like "you don't need any distraction from what you are sent to school to study".
One of my hobbies is singing and rapping. I listen to mostly hip hop songs and few afro music that has sweet melodies and voice. My best hiphop American rappers are lil baby, lil mosey, 21 Savage, Nicki Minaj, drake, I actually have many American artistes I like. When it comes to afro music I listen to people like rema, ayra star, tems and my favorite is Omah lay. I use his album "get layd" most times to sleep. Although I don't really sing or rap in public though cause I am afraid of hearing people's review on my voice. But my sisters always tell me I have a good voice.
"Movies", that's one thing I will never be able to easily say no to. Most times I use movies to connect and associate with people. In my secondary school I was known as someone who you couldn't mention a movie I hadn't seen. I watch all kind of movies but I have less liking in movies that have to do with romance. One movie genre I am fond of too is fantasy, I even choose fantasy over sci-fi and action most times. I like fantasy movies so much cause it has no limit to ones imagination, and as someone who could imagine a whole story when I was an adolescent, it just felt like I was widening my imagination the more anytime I watched movies in the fantasy genre. My favorite movies in the fantasy genre is the Vampire diaries, the originals and then legacies. I also like thrillers for the suspensie and brain work that comes with them. I like movies like salt burn.
Then my favorite genre is "horror". As a kid I was afraid of the dark but later changed with growth and came to like horror movies the most. My two best horror movies are the slender man and the conjuring bloody Mary. When ever I was to give someone a horror movie suggestion the slender man and the bloody Mary were always the first I would mention.
Another hobby I have is gaming. I am good at gaming and enjoy doing it, I engage in all types of games. When I say games you should know I am talking about mostly video games and some outdoor games that suits my personality. I don't play games like football that much. I endulge in chess (which I am not very good at), checkers, card games, golf and ayo. Ayo is a local game in Nigeria, you will likely be familiar with it if you are Nigerian.
Now, to how I found here. I noticed one of that my friend, @cheeamaka was always on her phone and the pllatform I found her on was different from the ones I know. So I asked her about it and she introduced me to the hive blockchain, I took interest to it cause I feel like I can sample and expose my talents more on the platform. It piqued my interest also when she mentioned that there were different communities that would appeal to my interest.
My knowledge of crypto is minimal but I am open to learning all I can.
I look forward to sharing from my wealth of knowledge, learning and meeting and interacting with all of you.
I hope this marks the beginning of something really exciting.
Thank you all for having me!
