June 18, 2018, around 10.30am, I was with my
boss in his office reflecting on some of the things that happened the previous
week. All of a sudden, we started hearing an uproar from another part of the
office. The noise wasn't that of an impending danger because it was a bit
uniform, similar to that of a musical voice crescendo. But what could be
happening? Trust my nosy nature, I quickly excused myself to go and find out.
Getting there, few people who saw me began to
adjust and started talking in a hush-hush voice because they knew I came from
the boss. I moved near one of my colleagues and asked what the issue was. Apparently,
an e-mail emanated from the Human Resources department caused the "joyful
commotion". What was the content of this email? It was to notify the
entire office about a forthcoming wedding this month between two of our
colleagues in the same office. Wow....it came as a pleasant shock to everybody
perhaps being the first time in our organisation but not me because I was privy
to some things during my guy's "kurukere" moves.
Really,
that wouldn't be a strange thing and I know it will not be a news to a lot of
us because it happens everywhere. But you know what really caught my attention
about this union? Every single person in the office has got one good thing or
the other to say about this young, pretty, kindhearted, gentle, well-mannered
and unassuming lady in question! Even her female colleagues testified to the
fact that our guy got a good lady to marry. This would be the first time in my
life that every single person of about 80 workers would be having good things
to say about a lady all through. As I reflected on this, i came up with some
qualities which I would like to share with my single ladies especially because
it still tells me that what men are looking for in a marriage partner still
remains the same. Not only that, faithfulness and good deeds pay a lot.
1. Aminat is a very cool headed lady. Times
without number, people have stepped on her toes but her reactions were never
out of order. "She put body for ground well well......o fara bale."
2. Aminat is a very reserved lady but at the
same time very friendly and not boring. When you engage her in conversation or
argument, you would definitely enjoy your flow with her but you will never see
her play carelessly with any opposite sex in the office. She comports herself
in a very modest manner. Our Aminat has got no record of scandal with anyone!
3. Another testimony about Aminat was that she
has got courtesy and respect for everyone. She happens to be a lady who will never
get tired of being the one to first say hello to you whether you see her or
not. Always ready to help and share her things with you. I personally
experienced these things about her.
4. This point shocked me most coming from her
female friends at work! She is a very domesticated lady! As "tushed"
as Aminat is, there is no type of local soup/food that Aminat doesn't know how
to prepare. I am talking of a Lekki babe here o. Asides this, if you meet her
washing plate after lunch at work, depending on the timing, Aminat would gladly
offer to help you wash without you asking her to do so. I learnt she is the
only lady that does that in the whole of my office!
5. In as much as anybody is free to marry who
she likes, I doff my cap for her saying "yes" to my very handsome,
lively, honest and kindhearted Dele, despite the fact that they are in the same
office and on the same level earning the same salary. She wasn't looking for an
already made man.
These and many more made me see reasons why she
had a resounding testimony, why a well-trained and focused man went for her.
Thank you Aminat for the reassurance that there is still hope for serious
minded guys like your guy.
As you
both become one, I can only wish you two love without end in Jesus name.
Wishing you a happy married life. Congratulations my people!
