THE VAL MESSENGER (Cont'd)

-



Hi! I am Mobola, your favourite valentine delivery girl and I am here to tell my success story as a deliverer.

Valentine's day celebration was always hitch free until this particular year. The principal had banned all forms of celebration and gift sharing because people were abusing the privilege and anyone caught, would be made to face the disciplinary committee; in worst cases, the defaulter will earn a two weeks suspension. 

The interesting thing is one wouldn't even know who and who were appointed to write names. You know boarding school and junior CIDs whose delight is writing names of defaulter and submitting to the authority. 

I hope these set of people are currently working with the Nigeria Police Force. Lol

This announcement was made on the assembly ground four days before Valentine.  Four days o, ojo merin!

Ah! Gbese re!

When people had already ordered goods from Dubia. The news came as a shock to mostly senior students. The school was as silent as a graveyard that day as people kept thinking of ways to carry-out their deliveries to their lovers.

I was happy because I was neither sending out gifts nor receiving one. Did you just say I am stingy? Please, soro s'oke let me hear you o. Ehn ehn

Don't blame me biko. How much was my mother giving me as pocket money that I'll na be doing father Christmas?

Is hunger that'll waya my head

Little did I know...

Kai! See how you concentrate. You too like story! Wait fess! Gimme val and I'd continue the story.

Till I find my val, I remain,

Mobola.

SMILE; A SPECIAL GIFT

I have come to realise that one of the greatest gift you can give to someone without thinking of the cost is your smile. Seems so little, right? Yes, but a warm smile can give life to a dying soul. However, smiling should not be limited to our circle alone. I have noticed that most people retracts that smile from those at wrung of the social ladder. Instead of smiling, they frown and say hurtful words to them. But the truth is not everyone can be rich, and those we feel are inferior to us have their usefulness. We all need one another to make life worth living and easier. This new found mentality was what informed my actions sometimes back. Few months ago, I made a decision to smile and greet every menial job workers I meet on my way. From the road cleaners, to the petty traders, beggars and the less privileges. At first, it was tasking but with time, I got accustomed to it. From what I discovered, smiling and greeting them was a source of hope; a kind of message that they are huma...

It is of no doubt that reading adds colour to life and meaning to one's existence. Each book read is like a sharpened colour pencil. Although some people are still oblivious to this wonderful fact.  However, the good news is that we can share our coloured pencil with others by suggesting wonderful books we have read. This is to encourage others to build reading habits. Kindly suggest and leave a review of the books you've read in the comment section and let us share in your library. Reading is fun!

DETERMINE YOUR CIRCLE

-

  I was going through my telephone address book dated 2008/2014 yesterday and discovered that I was no longer in contact with 90% of the people I had recorded therein. It is not like they became a bad person all of a sudden but there is every plausibility that we outgrew each other's relevancy. Now this is the real deal. Life is in stages and so is growth and development. Consciously or unconsciously, there are numbers of behaviour cum people you leave as you grow. You are not doing this because you feel you can just use and dump them but solely because you need people who shares the same ideology, dreams and visions with you. The people you surround yourself with goes a long way in determining the rate at which you achieve your purpose. However, I smile when I hear people say they keep small circle because they don't want drama. Of a truth, no one loves drama. Having a small or large circle is not the bone of contention but the value they add to your life.  This is t...
