I DON'T CELEBRATE VALENTINES (Part 2) By: E. D. Oghre

I don't celebrate Valentines. I know you want to know that, so let me tell you why.
Because it is the most stupid day ever celebrated, I mean a day to celebrate love
Shouldn't that be everyday.

I mean seriously, I mean the Bible says show love every day, and never was Valentine mentioned.

I mean imagine if God says he only shows love on Valentine's Day God will be like "hey let me go bless that boy" and angel Micheal will reply "too late it's after 12, Valentine's Day is over" and God just goes "oh well, until next year" How silly will that be?

And worst of us, this generation, I mean our generation have even make it worse (hey guys clap for yourself's )
I saw a picture which said, 'Valentine's day, the reason why a lot of November children are born' (all the November children in the house say hi)

I mean how did sex turn to love, How did that happen, They don't sound alike, not even the say spelling or anything So how I mean did the devil just come and say 'hey look, 'and as we turned, he switched love for sex
Is that what happened So to me
I don't celebrate Valentines Because for a Christian everyday is Valentine's. (a day to show love)

The So Called Queen By:Salawu Olubunmi

_The so called queen of the zanger A woman of misery and deceptive appearance Wags tongue in a swordlike How angelic she be when seeking the honey frm it's comb With her romantic but deceitful display The first sight of her left me in dismay First encounter with her was heartrending Such a sweet poison A devil in disguise wit an angelic face The so called queen can neither be embraced nor avoided.

THE GCE GIRL By: OLUSEGUN AKINSANYA

Every year we welcome into our community several teenagers between 13 and 17 from far and near. They are both male and female. They have the same mission. They have come to write General Certificate Examination (G.C.E). Most of them are penultimate students in secondary schools. These little fellows have been fixed at centres nearby to write their exams and the people that brought them have accommodation as part of the payment agreement. Some of these children are leaving home for the first time. Some of them look like mom's pets. Immediately they hit the town, you see a lot of ambiance and noise, something like a carnival. They make noise in the morning while looking for water for domestic use and in the evening when they are back from their different centres. It's always a new experience for most of them, and they seem to enjoy it: yea, they seem to enjoy being away from home for a whole month, a kind of escape from the eagle eyes of their parents; they seem to enjoy a t...
