You think you wouldn’t love again, your heart is broken and you are a scum. You think this season isn’t for you; no one to
express it to, and you just might have been deceived. Forget about the
Valentine charade, disabuse your mind of the usual; if no one would take you
out, give a hand to that helpless individual on the street beating the wheel
barrow metal-sheet, shouting: ‘E ko ile bo’ta o!’
Accept this; love isn’t love when those needing your
bits still suffer, when what your home-woofers go for will well put a boy
through a Term in school. A low-school? Yeah, but it is still a school anyway.
You are capable to be loved, you must love too. Shun
the fake brothers now, spite the over-pretentious ladies anyhow and love the
few people around waiting for cares, the ones in your strengths. Okay, don’t
think about those. You aren’t given to a large-scale charity, I know. But presently,
try this: you know your friend took a long walk to work this morning. And you
didn’t even ask yourself, who would walk mileages to work if Adenle is in his pocket? Express this season to such a friend and tomorrow,
he wouldn’t have to do a sweaty leisured walk to work. Try #500 and he would
be saved. Take it down more, give him #100 and he wouldn’t skip lunch in a
rush.
Let’s launch this season now. But before that, I must
tell you a story. It is about Titi. I used to know Titi as a classmate. I knew
Titi as a crush. I know Titi now, she is a friend. On the 14th of
February, 2005, Titi gave me a chocolate cake. She marvelled me. That day I
began to see love in another way.
Years later, I would look back at that very moment and
would take a cue from it, that as little as we were then and pure, Titi could
sacrifice the conventional and give a mischievous boy like me a big chocolate cake
as a gift. Recently, we had the opportunity to chat in our adult selves and I
asked her what prompted her action years ago and she replied; I knew
you to always silently grovel on my small chops during break time and I thought
a large big cake on that day will buy me a break from your discreet
covetousness. Funny, right? It
wouldn’t be if I told you that I didn’t only eat that cake, the little ants in
our refrigerator ate it too. Every morning of the day, I would take a look at
it, fearing that if I ate it too quickly, I may soon stop seeing the beauty of
the big black chocolate cake and I left it there for days, only momentarily
chipping out of it until ants took away the largest portion of the cake. In my
case, Titi cared and the ants got it too.
Forget my sermon joor and let’s get to the How-To-Win
proper.
