Hello people!
Warm greetings to the community at large, I hope we are doing good. After much procrastination and persuasion from my boss and friend @kingsleyy whom most of you might know, for what seemed like ages to start writing, I'm finally here and I'm glad I'm taking this bold step. This blog is all about my introduction and I'd like to describe myself in subheadings
NAME
I'm sure most of you are wondering where the name Mahco came from what it means if it's even a real name😅 Well its actually a nickname which comes from my 'real' name McDonald which I spell as Macdonald..why? Well the reason is actually both weird and funny, always amuses me anytime I think of it..so here's the gist; Growing up, when my name was being read from attendance lists/registers it was always mispronounced. one scenario I remember vividly was during the catechism classes I attend as kid born in a Catholic-Christian home whenever the teachers/instructors were calling out our names to mark attendance I remember how awkward it felt when they pronounced my name as MC DONALD (eMcee donald) I wished for the ground to swallow me at that point😂 i think it's a nigerian thing not being to familiar with correct pronunciation of English words so I had to start writing it as Macdonald which could be shortened as Mac And later with teenage exuberance an the need to pick a cool nickname for social media (at least then it seemed like) so I chose "Maco" which spelt Mahco to give it length and also because i didn't want it to be mistaken for the popular Italian name 'Marco' And voila..we got a new name which(permit me to exaggerate a bit) thousands of online &offline acquaintances know me as Although it's still being mistaken & mispronounced as Macho😔 I guess its a cross I have to bear with; my "name Mis-pronunciation and spelling complex (yeah just made that up) This same issue applies to my other names but I'm not finna make this post more boring than it already is so I'll pause here By the way..this is the first time I'm making this explanation public
LOCATION
I'm from a place known as the eastern heartland of the biggest African country (by population) where we don't go to work on Mondays But I currently reside in the southern most part of the same country a riverine environment that held the title of the most peaceful, cleanest and no.1 tourist attraction in the country (the carnival city)
A little Google search my dear foreign readers would clear your confusion if any and reveal my exact coordinates
OCCUPATION
This one's a bit complicated Currently I'm a final year student of mechatronics engineering and also on internship working at an engineering firm Asides that I'm a professional graphics designer and upcoming front-end web developer.
MY WRITING JOURNEY
I'm not an expert when it comes to writing because of my poor grammar but I really love to write. My interest in writing did not begin with payment, I remember when I do write short stories about my funny encounters/experiences to entertain my WhatsApp contacts. But honestly, what really triggered my consistency in writing has been the tips I received. I don't have much experience in writing honestly and my earning journey on writing began from giftalworld an affiliate and blogging platform back in 2019.
MY NICHE
I'm not like others that are good in Crypto analysis or real motivational writer, I write more of my thoughts and experiences. I find it so easy to flow when writing my experiences especially when they're funny things and also on topics I relate to.
HOBBIES
to be honest I really don't have a "hobby" there are things I like but I can't actually do them well or don't do alot..does that count? If yes, then basketball, coding, evening strolls, writing, running (yeah I was one of the fastest sprinters in my primary school), watching movies, reading (novels&literary articles not academics please😅)and swimming too. I'm sure it's not the end.
I like all of the aforementioned but my extreme introvertive nature inhibits my participation in some of them (you can guess which).
Well folks, that would be all for now I'm a very private person in real life and this is the most Information about me on the Internet and I could think of no better place to share it than here with noble minds
Many more things about me will be
revealed in due course of my journey here, I hope it's worthwhile
Thanks for reading friends❤️
