�Every blessed day I tell my wife that I love her, so I don�t see why I should celebrate Valentine,� those were the exact words of Reginald Osei, nicknamed Reggie Rockstone, the hip-life Grand Papa, when the Entertainment Review Crew of PEACEFM, sought to find his views on Valentine and how he intends spending the day with loved ones. �I have never celebrated Valentine�s Day since I was born,� he stated. Speaking in an interview with Kwasi Aboagye, host of the program, the multi-talented award winning artiste, made it clear that �the people of Haiti needed love the most� and added that even though donations have been made by the Ghana government and some individuals and corporate bodies, it was still not enough. �For me, I prefer to show love to the Haitians than setting a day aside to be extra intimate with my lover�I don�t care about Valentine,� he told Kwasi Aboagye. The Grandfather of Hip-life suggested that Ghanaians should instead create something on their own, rather than celebrating what the western culture seems to have imposed on us. �Something like �Odo�tine� or any other name could be used in place of the �so called� Valentine�s Day to project our own values and culture,� he opined. Reggie Rockstone revealed that as his widow�s mite to help alleviate the suffering of the victims of the Haiti disaster, all entrance fee monies paid by patrons to his nite club (Reggie Rockstone�s Office) tomorrow, Sunday, February 14th, will be sent to World Vision International, a humanitarian organization on behalf of the United Nations, to be given to the Haitians. �People who patronize the nite club tomorrow should come with the intention of helping the Haiti victims and not for the sake of Valentine,� he added.
