Hello fellow steemians my name is NONSO Vincent, I am new to this community and I would like to say a warm hello to the whole of you guys.

I'm a computer science student of the university of Benin, Nigeria, I wanna say I'm proud of my country but you and I both know the country is failing, I'm not here to complain anyways.

Firstly why do we say "hello" When introducing ourselves or when we pick up a call??
"Hello" has to have been the standard English language greeting since English people began greeting right?

Hello has been the major greeting for people and it can he interpreted in several other languages apart from English.

Alexander Graham Bell used the word"ahoy.", while Thomas Edison forced people who called his telephone to say hello, according to the guy who wrote the first telephone book he said "people say hello to get attention" Or to express surprise, hello didn't become hi until the telephone arrived.

Hello doesn't sound like a bad word after all I think I rather say hello than say "AHoy". The Oxford Dictionary says the first published use of "hello" goes back only to 1827. And it wasn't mainly a greeting back then.

Let's take out some time and think on possible things we would have said apart from hello, personally I go for "Ohio" It makes me sound like a cartoon character I like.

Well that's it for teaching about hello's, let's talk more about me "focus on me"

I'm inspired by the night and attracted to very little, I think the body of an article is way better to read than its heading so I often just scroll to the middle and start off there.

On this day I make my fist post I say thanks to @surpassinggoogle for helping me create this account, it's been a really hard job since I tried creating few weeks back and didn't receive my verification email, thanks a lot sir you really did me a solid i hope I grow in this community and help others in need too...
