THE VAL MESSENGER

-



It's barely three weeks to valentine and the memories from my secondary school days hit me hard.

Valentine in I.A.G.C is usually special both for the young and old. However, it is a day to shout "God when" for some of us that has no lover, school mother and other school shenanigans.

Second term is always a special term to look forward to. Not because of anything spectacular but because of Valentine's day. Right from the beginning of the term, you'd get to hear people chant the popular anthem crafted solely for valentine. It goes thus:

Call: Who will be my val?

Res: Valentine

Call: Will you be my val?

Res: Valentine

Call: Come and be my val

Res: Valentine

Well, some are always lucky to pair up with their val but for people like me, we always end up as "messenger of love" on the D-Day. Needless to say, we are always the bringer of good news; the one and only delivery ladies with the basket of love.

Ah! I've been doing deliveries, e don tey.

Wait first, let me drink water. I'd be right back with a sequel. Stay tuned!

Quick one! It's not too late to pick me as your Val. I'm readily available but I have no money for gift.

Will you be my val? Epp my life biko.

Till I find my val, I remain,

Mobola.

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!

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...

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...
