My 2017: Welcoming the new year in Nigeria

Happy new year to steemians around the world. This is my entry for @anomadsoul contest,My 2017: Welcoming the new year. Thanks to @blocktrades for delegation and @anomadsoul for putting up this contest.

New year eve is a very special day for me, It's a day of mix feeling, a day to look back at 2017, taking into account the achievements and the down time. Mix feeling because the achievements brings joy and the shortcomings leaves one in a low state. I had to take a sober reflection of my year and also made conclusions on plans for the new year.

The evening started with classic music from The X-Tribe at the Light House Event; Crossing Over to The New Year. The event was a great one, with several speakers and artists trilling fans with fun and excitement.

We were inspired by the speakers to make success in 2018, irrespective of the failures of 2017. We were taught on the importance of setting goals and hitting them against all odds. If 2018 must be different from 2017, we must do and introduce some things we never did in 2017.

At 00:00, we all stood up screaming, as fireworks went up simultaneously, this was the beginning of 2018. Everyone was excited to have made the new year eventual. You could feel the excitement on everyone as we went about hugging each other in joy.

The event continued with lot of fun to celebrate the dawn of 2018. We were trilled by several performance ranging from music, comedy, drama and poem. We also had time to make friends and exchange contact, maybe you might just get the contact needed for 2018.

By 5:30am. the event was over and we departed for home. On getting home, it was another time of self pleasure as I danced to songs from my stereo.

Happy New Year to the entire steemit family.
