Stories, learnings & reflections #06

Hi @alexanderpeace. Valentine greetings from this end. I would love to unveil the kind of moment I had on the 14th of February, 2025.

Few days ago I was invited by a music team to participate in the forthcoming valentine's day. But before that, there were serious rehearsals held by the musical team in preparation for the forthcoming valentine's day. And I in particular was invited to play keyboard. We rehearsed up to 11 songs. Exactly the ones below:

★ Running to you
★ Love don’t cost dime
★ American love
★ Jowo (Kel V)
★ Need you (DML)
★ African queen (Tu Face)
★ Emeliana (Ckay)
★ Jowo (Davido)
★ Fall in love (Dbanj)
★ Love me jeje (Tems)
★ Olufunmi (Styl Plus)

It was really a nice experience with various talented players, singers and drummers. It was going to be live concert—and so we had to make everything live too.

Reaching 14th—the main day. The lounge was situated in a very far distance, that could consume 2000 naira going and 2000 naira coming which will equivalently be 21.0 steem.

I arrived there 8 hours to the resumption of the party. Initially, the resumption time for the party was scheduled to be 9pm, but it seems the people were quite busy, and so nobody turns up by that time. So the music team were just using that period to over-rehearse till perfection. We rehearsed and rehearsed again until both the instrument and the voices rthyme.

@12am

That was already a new day. By this time, I was almost getting exhausted. But I managed to act as if I was better. At this time, the party started properly. People start coming, and before we know, the whole place was filled up. The MC happens to be the founder of the musical team, although there were other MC that were specially invited. Two special DJ's were also invited for the event. I mean, that night was really hot.

In a few hours later, the instrumentalist bounced in, and we gave the people our own voicing. Omo! I could remember picking up some flip money on the air, but I was too busy to be distracted—focus on playing the keyboard.
Few minutes we were done and we returned back to our seat. It was time to show your val. Dance with her or him. Kiss or do whatever pleases you. Omo! It's like I was a man of God—nobody like that kind of image around me.

It's like I was a man of God—nobody like that kind of image around me.

I met other guys and girls exchanging conversations, flirting on themselves, smiling together and doing some funny movement. But I personally I was stabled—consecrated and imbalance. I mean, my state of mood was not flexible, because I was also aiming to have someone beside me that I can feel loved, happy and excited with.

Although, the impact aspect was the reward I got for honouring the invitation. And that was a kind of adventure to me, it really opened many things to my knowledge. And I thank God, I never lose the opportunity.

Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoy my experience?

I invite @bossj23, @eglis and @ruthjoe to participate.
