One Valentine, One Lambo Keke, And A Lifetime Memory

One Valentine, One Lambo Keke, And A Lifetime Memory

By Prudence Okonna Is it out of place to say that Valentine’s Day has never really been my thing? Not because I don’t enjoy the euphoria, the soft launches, the red roses, the public displays of “God when?” and all the beautiful shenanigans that come with February 14. But somehow, it has never consistently felt special to me. I’ve dated. I’ve been in a couple of relationships. But only one stands out. Let’s call him Ade. I met Ade during my diploma days.

By Goodness Iwezua In Nigeria, Valentine’s Day is not just a date on the calendar. It’s a test.A test of love.A test of effort.A test of whether your man understands the assignment.

Girls screaming while their boyfriends blindfolded them into decorated apartments in Lekki. I won’t lie — I love that stuff.I believe your partner’s background and mindset matter, especially during special celebrations. Valentine’s Day, to me, is not just another day. It’s intentional.…

What Valentine’s Day Did To My Relationship

I am Peace John. Why do I feel attacked ahead of this year's Valentine’s Day (today)? Maybe it's because of the experience I had on 14 February, 2025 when, ahead of the day, my boyfriend, Paul, a stunningly handsome, well endowed, hunky dude, called me and asked if I will be less busy so we can go out and celebrate Valentine’s Day together. As I live in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), for outings most times we'd go to Kubwa, a bubbling satellite town located several breath-taking expressways' drive close to the Federal Capital City (FCT) Abuja, to enjoy our…
