Sarki Princess Live is my name,my mother named me her"Princess",my uncle named me"Live"according to them it means(live forever, I'm to live and not die). But as a child growing up, that meaning was to long when I am asked what it means. So, I looked it up from a dictionary and simply satisfied with the meaning"to stay alife". I am the fourth and only surviving child of my mother but my daddy's last born. I hail from Niger State, Nigeria. Born in Kaffin Koro,grew in Minna. I usually say that, I am Gbagyi/Koro. While my dad is Gbagyi,my mum is Koro but I grew with my mother's relatives.Though my both parents are Nigerlites from Niger state.
I was born 05th May,1995.My primary school education was in 'Guidance Angel Nursery and Primary School Minna',I left primary school in the year(2006);My secondary education was in 'Niger Baptist School',(2012)set of graduates. Then in 2014, I was in the College of Education(COE) Minna and graduated 2016 where I studied English/CRS. While at the college I was with the press club and had the rare opportunity to be the presenter anchoring the program"Campus gist". Though my love in and for art is so big,in the Chapel of Victory I joined the choir. I love to sing,I dance,I act as in drama, I love to talk, I am melancholy though a sanguine blend. But from my childhood singing was my comfort. I only got to know because I did not come of age to know my mum, that she would sing all day even in her illness. So,let's say it is a transferred gift from mother to child. I sing anywhere and everywhere,when sad, happy, moody even to looks for trouble with songs. It was fun.
I went back for my degree to study English Education in 2019,
though Corona interfered yet I finished 2023 as a trained teacher by profession plus I got married during my degree program in year 2021,May 1st.
Going by our side of the country today, the noblest profession is teaching especially for a woman, yet the pay is little to nothing.I wanted something more that can get me finance aside 'teaching'so as not to keep asking for urgent '2k' or much of a burden to hubby.
I got to know about this platform by a friend that is more like a brother and one time M.D(music director). Having left school, I have missed the gathering of singers,people with like minds and passion. I love to grow beyond my now, meeting people, picking up challenges, growing and improving to better than yesterday so as to gain uniqueness as we differ in our specialties.
My M.D, Bro.Dan like we usually call him then introduce me to someone via contact,who sent a link on telegram and I joined; having gone through the lectures, I got to know for the first time about cryptocurrency and unlike Facebook, Whatsapp and the other social media group,on hive I am safe and my account. All I need do is be creative,birthing ideas in it uniqueness while earning. One of the interesting experience was the question and answer and lot more like a school, I passed through processes before I was onboarded. Guess who this someone was?I call him Mr.Ohvvieh. Truth be told,have met few who are good at what they do and believe in. Good job @ovey10 you are a good tutor.
Aside teaching one thing again that gets me working, revisiting is music. The scoring,the scaling, pitching, the creativity with quest to standout keeps me. In teaching you must need plan,site examples,carry your learners along,inspire,correct etc music for me is more.Many atimes I have gained my confidence from one song or another, have gotten inspiration, have drawn strength, seen the way forward from listening to songs.
I was shuffling between music and literally club because none amongst my teachers heading these club would let go of me. There I got know I could write poems and subsequently I write poems that flows into music. I have written poems without count that my school fellowship's press unit have published and read betimes.Often times have written songs from my place of devotion and come to a sure verdict that I am a "worshipper". My family is favored though when it comes to music as my ''old young boy'' my grandpa.
Late.Abel David was a song writer,he composes songs that have kept pace and my aunt has released two albums.
I longed for a time to come where I am my kids will sing together in melody to be envied. My first child 'Victoria'.
and my second 'Peniel' who I call Vicky 'sustain' as she can really cry and sustain for long while her sister 'Penny pitch' who cries gradually increasing the loudness. But on the 5th, of May 2025 ,after my birthday, she died on the 6th of May, 2025, after three(3 years) of suffering from holes(2 holes)in the heart. My Victoria went to rest.
It hurts and seem like a dream but in all I owe God THANKS and his show of mercy that her months old sister is healthy.I only draw strength from the songs I could sing,read the scriptures and music flows even as the tears comes.
I am optimistic that 'Hive' is not just a platform but would be a family where I am confident I will learn, unlearn if need be and relearn to be and being better version in uniqueness and creativity with people that a driven by set goals to achieve in be coming better than yesterday.
I am anticipating to meeting you all. With love I remain Sarki Princess live.
