Sending a good morning message to a loved one is a small but meaningful way to show love, appreciation, and support. Whether it’s a simple check-in, an affectionate note, or a few words of encouragement, these messages help keep connections strong.
So, why not brighten someone’s morning today? A simple message can make all the difference.
How to Craft the Perfect Good Morning Message
A well-crafted good morning message isn’t just about saying “Good morning.” It’s about making the person on the receiving end feel seen, appreciated, and motivated for the day ahead.
Don’t want to just copy one of the messages above? Here’s a step-by-step guide to crafting your own good morning messages, complete with insights from real Nigerians.
Step 1: Start with a warm greeting
Begin with a genuine and affectionate greeting. Depending on your relationship with the person, this could be as simple as “Good morning, love” or “Rise and shine, my guy!”
“A simple ‘Good morning, my dear’ from my mum makes my entire day,” says Taiwo, 29. “It reminds me that someone is thinking about me before the day even starts.”
Example:
“Good morning, sunshine! I hope you woke up feeling refreshed and ready to conquer the day.”
Step 2: Add a personal touch
Show that you truly care by mentioning something specific about the person — maybe their plans for the day, their mood from the previous night, or an inside joke between you two. This makes the message feel thoughtful and intentional.
“When I wake up to a, ‘Good morning! Hope your presentation goes well today,’ from someone I care about, I feel instantly motivated and the anxiety goes out the window,” says Kenny.
Example:
“Good morning, superstar! Wishing you all the confidence and clarity you need for that big meeting today. You’ve got this!”
Step 3: Include encouragement or a blessing
For many Nigerians, prayers and words of encouragement are essential in daily conversations. Whether it’s a heartfelt blessing or a motivational push, including something uplifting can set the right tone for the day.
“My mum sends a morning prayer every day,” says Yinka, 30. “Even if I don’t reply, just reading it makes me feel covered.”
Example:
“May today bring you unexpected joy and favour. Everything you lay your hands on will prosper. Go and win!”
Step 4: Add humour if appropriate (optional)
Not every message has to be deep — sometimes, a funny or playful message can be the perfect way to start the day. If you share an inside joke with the recipient, this is the place to use it.
“My cousin sends the funniest morning messages on my big days and it’s something I’ve come to appreciate,” says Taiwo.
Example:
“Good morning! Hope you slept well — because today, adulting continues. No escape!”
Step 5: Close with warmth
Always end your good morning message with something that makes the recipient feel cared for — whether it’s a reminder to eat breakfast, a promise to check in later, or a simple “I love you.”
Example:
“Have a beautiful day ahead. Don’t forget to eat before you step out, and remember, I’m always cheering for you!”
A well-crafted good morning message should look like:
“Good morning, my favourite human! I hope you woke up feeling rested. Wishing you all the energy you need for today, especially for that 10 a.m. meeting (I know how you feel about those). May your day be smooth, productive, an
5 Questions about Good Morning Messages Nigerians Have
1. How long should a good morning message be?
There’s no fixed length, what matters is the intention behind the message. Some people prefer a short and sweet text (“Good morning, have a great day!”), while others appreciate a thoughtful, personalised note.
You should also consider who you’re texting and their personality. Busy people? Keep it short and positive. Romantic partners? Add some warmth, inside jokes, or a sweet compliment. Friends? A mix of humour and light motivation works well. Family? They appreciate heartfelt and faith-based messages.
2. What should you avoid when sending a good morning message?
Sending the same generic text every day isn’t the best option. A repeated “Good morning. Have a nice day” message can get tiring and filtered out as noise by the recipient. Instead, be creative. Use interesting relationship quotes, poems or even trending social media slang.
Now, while you’re free to wax lyrical, you shouldn’t over complicate it. Instead of “May the radiance of the sun bless your internal fortitude with undying perseverance,” consider “May the sun’s warmth give you strength and perseverance.” Always push for clear, easy-to-understand language.
Also, you should avoid the following morning text etiquette faux pas:
- Waking someone up unnecessarily. If they’re still sleeping, why are you texting them at 5 a.m.? Yes, your intention is genuine, but you should push for the best timing.
- Double-texting when they haven’t replied. Remember, morning texts are not attendance registers. Give your recipients time to respond.
- Sending dry one-word texts. If all you say is “Morning,” abeg, just leave it.
- Forgetting the time difference when texting someone abroad. Yes, it’s an honest mistake , but it can also mean you weren’t intentional with your message. (“Good morning” at 3 AM their time? Blocked.)
3. Who should you send a good morning message to?
Anyone you care about! It’s not just for romantic partners — friends, siblings, parents, mentors, and even colleagues appreciate them. In Nigeria, family members, friends, and even neighbours send morning messages, especially those full of prayers and motivation. Some workplaces even have morning check-ins. If you only send to a partner, you’re missing out.
You’ll be shocked how much your grandparents, parents, uncles, aunties, love good morning messages, especially if you add prayers. You can also create a good impression with some mentors or bosses with a respectful “Good morning, have a productive day” message.
4. What makes a good morning message special?
It’s important to note that while the words are a good place to start, the intention behind sending a message is just as important. For that extra care and attention that’ll make your message stand out to recipients, you should consider the crafting your message as such:
- Prayers: for parents & elders
- Humor: for friends & siblings
- Encouragement: for colleagues & loved ones going through tough times
- Personalisation: mention something specific, not just a generic greeting
5. Should you send good morning messages every day?
It depends. Some people appreciate daily check-ins, while others prefer it occasionally so it doesn’t lose meaning. If you’re sending it every day, switch it up with new jokes, prayers, or affirmations to keep it fresh.
And if you’ve been texting someone every single morning without fail, and they’re not reciprocating, maybe chill small. Overdoing it can feel forced or intrusive, especially in new friendships or relationships.
