Introduction
Hi beautiful souls, it's my happiness to write here for the first time on #steem4nigeria and also more excited to participate in this contest from #newcomer community.Trust you are all bubbling good. .
Not every year is a good one, just like the long adage we used to say that "everyday is not christmas".For me to make a comparative analysis of the year 2023 on my end , I would love to liken it with the above mentioned
proverbial saying.Things went up and down , my love ones fell sick, some friends parted ways and I make new friends too. I Lost some money to inflation, cash scarcity problems due to the changing of old Naira note to new ones , scarcity of food supply and all of the creeping socioeconomic pandemic ravaging my country, Nigeria.However ,come what as it may be , I'm thankful that I was able to overcome all these challenges and was able to struggle my way out to make some feasible achievements this same year.
Now let's go to the main thing, the contest.
Do you have anything in mind you would like to achieve before the year ends? Tell us
Yes! There are basically two most important thing I wish to achieve before this year ends. First is to relocate from where I'm currently living to a new apartment and new area. This is because where I currently live has security issues ,no electricity supply for the past one year.Another thing is for me to pay a Christmas visit to my dear cousin whom I have not seen in 7 years now and also to see if I can start saving some money from now to buy gifts to visit the orphanage homes.
Before now, tell us two things or two ways you normally end your year.
Years ago I always have my end of the year in attending one or two private end of the year dinner party organized by my clients's and partner company like First Bank , Air France etc , then I used to book flights tickets.I attended choir Thanksgiving service , I also used to travel home for get-together and reunion with my immediate family members where we cook and eat different kinds of meals such as Afang soup with Foofoo , Coconut rice , Jollof rice etc for the Christmas Eve celebration,we used to eat these food in other days but this one is special ,then after we all would go to the church 31st service for Thanksgiving and praise.

Do you think so far you have done well for this year 2023? Why?
I would gladly say yes , although I have got many bitter pills too but I won't erode the fact that I have been able to achieve one or two things useful for my online gigs. I was able to purchase a new tripod and a fairly used laptop for my online side hustles of which which I told my able colleague and friend @eveetim about .Most importantly I was back on Steemit once again , this time time being more productive than before and I meet new friends and team members in different communities on Steemit.Many Thanks to @ngoenyi and @okere-blessing for their supports and encouragements. I also have God to thank for this because it hasn't been easy at all to save money to achieve these and I'm glad that these gadgets are actually what I earnestly needed before the year runs out.

What would be the best gift you would like to have at the end of this year?
Wow! firstly a gift of life for me and my love ones , we should all be alive to celebrate in happiness. A plot of land to build on isn't too big for me to take 😃😅, money to spend for the Christmas grooves , so that I can cook enough food for me and my visitors ,all of these would make my end of this year a fulfilled one.
Conclusion
In spite of the ups and downs of the year have been able to achieve most salient things I needed though they may look small but it matters a lot to me because to me little things matter. I have not lost anyone around me and I really give God thanks because it's not by my making , it's the gift , grace and faithfulness of the Almighty God.I also trust that at the of the year everyone one of us would end it in celebration , alive and keep on exploring to the next year.
