Happy Overrated Valentine’s Day!
Yeah, yeah, yeah..I said it. It’s overrated. Especially if you are not a teenager. This is the time when chocolate/candy stores, lingerie (especially VS & Fredricks), hallmark and teddy bear stores stick you up for your money. Everything is in pink and hearts. And let’s not forget the restaurants. They change their menu for the day and hike up their prices. Can I please just have my regular (what I usually order) without having to succumb to this nonsense meal in front of me that won’t even fill my 17month old???
I shall sleep, eat and watch TV all day on Valentine’s day. While others are spending money during this recession period.
To all the lovers, WRAP IT UP! There are tons of Valentine’s day babies out there. Meaning they were conceived on this fateful day! So, if you know you’re not ready for the responsibilities, do the right thing and don’t get carried away by this “special” day. Practice safe sex. Ladies, don’t get knocked up! Easy on the wine and love songs playing in the background. Otherwise, this “special” day is bound to change the rest of your life forever and ever.
This is valuable advice that is not commercialized along with Valentine’s day. You just got it for free. Thank me later!
Have a fab weekend, and enjoy your v-day! Kisses!

My thoughts exactly, you’re a gal after my own heart. It’s called ‘Vals Day’ (I’m not liking that name atall) here, as I’m sure you know.
Really, my quibble with ‘Val’s day’ is that for me no emphasis need be made, for me, it’s just another day to live my life the same as I live all the others - with love.
First annoying thing about it.
As I was sitting in Lagos traffic this afternoon the streets were lined with vendors not selling the usual knock-off dvd’s or GALA sausage rolls, but heart shaped ‘Vals day’ baloons on sticks emblazened with ‘I Love You’.
Second annoying thing.
As I listened to the taxi driver’s radio, a caller was just celebrating winning a quiz. His prize, a dinner and room at the celebrated Eko Hotel in VI. But on the condition that he bring with him;
1. His Wife (ahem! What if he’s single and dating?)
2. his Marriage Certificate.
I immediately fired off a text to two of my friends saying; only in Nige would that be a requirement to collect a prize. And only in Nige would the caller then proceed to turn up with his Marriage Certificate (DOCTORED OF COURSE) - and his girlfriend! Lol..
Oh and if I’m giving the impression that Nigeria goes over and beyond in comparisom to other countries, think again. The atmposphere in London during this period which normally starts building immediately after new year, is positively feverish! Horrid stuff!!
Love you sis, i always find your articles very interesting.. happy valentines day….
@ Debbie- OMG, I’m dying laughing with tears rolling down. This is some funny ish. Only in Nigeria…lol. Hilarious!!!!
@ Asiya- Love you, muffin. Glad you enjoy the read. Have fun on Val’s day:)
Hahahahahaha! Well said,Happy Vday!
What Val’s day means to me?
Not a card or a teddy bear or roses!!!
One day does not diminish my love for you…
I love you 365 days in a year….
Helping me with our son……That goes a long way for me……..Loading the dishwasher when I sleep off …that means you love me….
Every time you kiss me in my sleep …..and I think I’m dreaming…
That is a loving moment for me….
