40% of the Youths might turn single on Vals day or the day after

First things first! Why are relationships of nowadays so expensive with 100% fixation on material things? Did someone up there not warn us that vanity upon vanity results in vanity?

Being single on Valentine's Day can be a real downer for anyone, but it doesn't have to be a totally miserable exercise! Instead of sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself, be proactive about your situation, dig in and find a way to enjoy the day!

Get your friends together and do something interesting like going out to dinner, the cinema or just hanging out reminiscing about time past. If you want, you can even get dressed up and splurge on something you wouldn't normally order! Treat yourself to your favorite foods and focus on your pals. If your pals are not around then get yourself some gifts and indulge yourself on stuffs. I really can't get the point of being stingy to oneself, and yet spend the money on someone not deserving it? It's not my philosophy! I enjoy myself a lot and whoever I'm with is not a big point to concern my brain with. Those who know me can attest to it. You might even forget about Valentine's Day in the process of making yourself happy, that's if you are single.

Let me state here that some ladies who have boos might  be disappointed. Especially those with extremely untenable taste and at such are expecting heaven and earth from their boos. They might not get it because of several factors in play. Your boo who you obviously penned down as yours might have his/her own boo around, and you, the extra boo will have to make do with your tag as "time-passing boo".

A friend of my friend's girlfriend sells valentine hampers and she pinged my friend to patronize her, by buying one for his babe. The problem? My friend earns approximately 6digits while the cost of the val gift according to her is "just 100k"!

The hamper boasts of Galaxy tab, chocolates, perfume, teddy bear etc. well, my friend asked for my opinion and I told him to buy it, only if the babe is worth it and he would be able to afford. But in my mind, I was like  'Onigbese', 'Alakoba' who wants to ruin another. The dude was like, could this be a set up Yemi? Did my girlfriend tell her friend to approach me to buy val gifts for her? I kept mum, as I do not intend to soil any relationship on the account of my opinion.

Why go through all of this because of 14th? A day just like any other. A good point for the guys on Val's day is that it falls on a working day. Some of us would be busy at work and won't be particularly bothered to make an effort. What's wrong in postponing it till weekend? Some ladies are so insensitive that they would pick offense and insult or pick quarrels with their boyfriends. Need I tell you the result of this? Break up in its full regalia. Some ladies are so smart they won't even be offended. Speaking of being on your best behaviour during this val period.

You might have seen this on people's PM on BlackBerry: "If your man shows you love daily, you'll understand that there's nothing special about VALENTINE". Well I assure you that some of these babes are not alone, they will have people to definitely share love with for a long time.

Have we asked ourselves why most of the ladies in nigeria are so STINGY? They Usually have a long list of what they want for vals and all. Yet, ask what they intend to give in return you will be amazed at their level of reasoning. A colleague once told me all he gets from his babe who is a working class is singlets and boxers every valentine for the past 4 years! Common, what happened to creativity? What happened to adventure? What happened to being spontaneous? Some of our ladies lack innovation romantically yet they will tell you the time and day Beyonce bought Private Jet For  Jay -Z or when Kim Kardashian bought Lamborghini for Kanye West.

We know some guys can be annoying, dumb and stupid. Yes, we know some are looking for the opportunity to break up or would have broken up before the said date,they are not worth it, truth be told. Some guys even said they would prefer a day where they can switch off their phones and remain indoors. Guess the day? 14th of FEBRUARY.  But I still feel that if the woman is understanding and she knows her man's status, she won't expect too much from him and he won't be under pressure because of 1 day out of 365. I'm not saying he shouldn't take you out if he has the means, or that it can't be treated as a special day? Just read between the lines and understand the signs.

Permit me to borrow this excerpts from my female friend , she prophesied:

1. And it shall come to pass in The Book of luv 2:14, on that Val's day, excuses shall arise: My battery was flat, My BIS expired, My dp refused to change, My boss selected me for the trip, There was heavy traffic, I had a flat tyre etc

2. When thou heareth these words or seeth these signs, hold thy peace but know for sure, that thou art no longer thy boo's boo.

3. He that hath ear, let him hear what the Special One saith to those whose hands will fall on this forthcoming Valentine's day.

There might be an updated follow up to this story because Val's day will surely throw up stories of its own
