These ones will act like they don’t rate February 14th. But in reality, they’re either just single or broke.
The ones with multiple admirers
These ones enjoyed the day to the fullest as they were receiving gifts from different people and scheduling multiple dates. Their only headache was how to handle going out with different people on the same day.
The ones in a relationship with food
They’ll tell you that food can’t break anyone’s heart, but they’re only consoling themselves with food because they haven’t found love yet.
People who gifted themselves and then acted surprised
These are LadiPoe’s people – “Throw myself a party and then act surprised”. Who were they deceiving? Last last, it’s still self-love anyway, and it’s not a bad thing at all.
The people who wrote cute letters
These folks made beautifully written letters for the people they love and sent those letters to them with a can of Malta Guinness to stomach all that goodness. These people deserve an award for being the best in thoughtfulness.
The smart ones who seized the chance to enjoy a Malta Guinness-powered Date Night
These people had the most fun on Valentine’s day, hands down. Malta Guinness treated them to a lovely four-course dinner for valentine’s day and people had a lovely time with food, laughter, and the company of the people they love.
We’re confident about two things, according to the Zikoko Bureau of Statistics. The first is Valentine’s Day can be hard when you’re single. The second? Rewatching these iconic K-drama episodes will soften it. Just trust us.
The King: Eternal Monarch: Ep. 11/12
I mean, it’s a movie starring Lee Min-ho as Emperor Lee Gon. Every scene is romantic, but especially that one scene where he gathers all his guards, police, helicopters and citizens of his fictional country, Corea, to save his queen. That might not be your current reality, but watching it will keep your heart racing like it’s happening to you.
From the first episode to the last, this show will have you cheesing, especially if you keep thinking about your ex. But the final episode is one of the very best. Ung returns to Korea to surprise Yeon-su and finally tells her he loves her. You also get to see how all the other sub plots end,what more could you want?
Hospital Playlist 2: Ep. 12
Everyone and their dads can see how badly Ik-jun wanted to be with Chae Song-Hwa in Hospital Playlist 2. He’d already confessed his feelings to her in the first season, and if you have all day, you can rewatch the whole thing from the first season. Or you could go to episode 12 in season 2 and experience how it felt to hear Song-hwa finally confess to him while having coffee in the car in the pouring rain — like they always do. Infact, I’m going to rewatch too.
Vincenzo: Ep. 20
Vincenzo isn’t romance-focused, no one can deny the chemistry between Vincenzo and Hong Cha-young. After all the back-and-forth finally paid off in the finale, when they meet again, he says the iconic line, “See you in Malta”, revealing his location to her. Go and watch it ASAP. What do you need love for when you have K-drama?
Crash Landing on You: Ep. 16
This whole show is like candy for your aching heart. But you see that scene where Se-ri and Captain Ri finally reunite in South Korea? It’s the least heartbreaking. You’ll enjoy the slow motion and soft smiles.
Hometown Cha Cha Cha: Ep. 12
The bucket list episode where Hye-in and Du-sik try to experience everything she’d ever wanted with a romantic partner. It’s cute and silly and so heartwarming, you’ll forget all your problems.
Vagabond: Ep. 13
More thriller than romance, but I live for that one hospital scene where Dal-gun and Hae-ri start to fall in love. He carries her up, and she puts her feet on top of him, almost like they’re dancing. God, when?
Hotel Del Luna: Ep. 16
Who doesn’t love a good “star crossed lovers” drama? Chan-sung and Man-wol went through a lot for a love that could never happen, but at least, they got to share that kiss under the stars in episode 13.
Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Everybody and their daddy will want to bask in the spirit of love and try to share their me and mines energy with you… a single pringle.
Let’s show you how to ignore the love in the air and the cupid ninjas
Fight everybody
You have one week to channel your inner Patience Ozokwor and show everybody serious wickedness so they can clear from your front before saxophonists’ day arrives.
Wear cele uniform and post a picture near the water
Or just join the church. It doesn’t matter. As long as everyone thinks you see visions and commune with Angel Uriel, you’re good to go.
Hide in your father’s house
Bonus points if your daddy has a dog. If that annoying ex tries to make plans with you, invite them to your daddy’s house and let nature take it’s course.
Hide from your mother
While in your father’s house, hide from your mother. She won’t ask you where your partner is, but she will point out your age and ask about marriage.
Change your network provider
Any of them would work at this point, but just so this works perfectly, subscribe to the green network for a day, and become completely unavailable.
Take Panadol Night
Take the day off work, put your phone on, do not disturb and sleep through everything.
Do it with your chest
They say you should face things head-on. If your sneaky link or that ex that won’t stop disturbing you sends you a message, turn on your read receipt, open the message and ignore it.
Don’t let anybody stress you and your single status on this completely random day. Put yourself first and dodge all the people doing couple goals and share their love with you.
Valentine’s Day is less than three weeks away, and that’s why you should start dropping hints to your partner, in case your wishlist needs to be shipped from abroad. Here’s how to do this successfully.
Talk about how someone has it
Say things like, “Obinna’s partner just got him that new drone, and it’s so mad! Imagine getting such a gift, I’d cry.”
Mention it on social media
Find a post of your gift and repost it with a caption like, “This dress is so gorgeous” or “I’d do anything to get a washing machine like this.”
Randomly fit it into sentences
Even if it doesn’t make sense, just do it so it can implant in their brains. “I was walking down the road and I saw a Rolex as big as a bird”. They’ll say “Huh? Did you say Rolex?” Deny it with your full chest. But keep doing this and I promise they’ll get the hint.
Send them things related to what you want
If you want a new car, send them funny memes about people getting new cars. Send links to articles about the car and say, “Do you know that xxx car can do xxx?” Send them videos of the car being driven and articles on the danger of public transport or something like that. Flood them until you see the car in your driveway.
“Accidentally” send a picture of the gift to them
The trick here is to send them a picture or video of the gift you want with a caption like, “These shoes would look so nice on me”. Then tell them it was a mistake, that you wanted to send it to your best friend.
Involve your best friend
If your partner has never asked your best friend what gift you want, you need to start reconsidering the relationship. But just in case they’re not smart enough to ask, let your best friend bring it up to them in a subtle manner. Like getting them to talk about the gym then bringing up how you’ve wanted the latest gym shoes by so and so brand forever.
Use hypothetical situations
Say things like, “If I decide to start getting my life together, the first thing I’d do is get an iPad. It would make my life so much easier.” Do this, and on Valentine’s day, a dispatch rider will be dropping off an iPad at your house/office… only if your partner has money sha.
Use it against them
For example, when they complain that you go out too much, say, “If I had a PS5 now, I’d be indoors all the time, playing games. But since I don’t have that, I have to find other ways to relax after all the work stress.”
Tell them straight up
They may be too oblivious to notice the hints you’re dropping, so the best thing to do to make sure you get the gift you want is to tell them directly. You can even tell them where to get it.
All in all, If your partner doesn’t know what gift you want for Valentine’s day by now, they deserve to be flogged with koboko dipped in pepper and Buhari’s wickedness.
We all know Nollywood and romance go hand-in-hand with each other. In the spirit of Valentine’s — yep, it’s more of a week than a day at this point — we caught up with some of our favourite Nollywood men dem to get the gist on their best and worst Valentine’s Day experiences. Awww, the things we do for love.
Daniel Etim Effiong — Superstar, Castle & Castle
Worst Valentine’s
My worst Valentine’s happens to be my very first Valentine’s as well. I used to live in Benin at the time and I was so young and clueless. LOL. My cousins had raised some money for me to celebrate Valentine’s Day, so I called up this girl and asked her out. I didn’t have a car at the time, so we both had to jump on a bike to the fast-food restaurant I was taking her to. On getting there, I asked her to order anything she wanted, even though deep down I was praying I could afford whatever she ended up selecting. Anyway, after paying for her order, I didn’t have any money left for myself to eat, so I just told her it’ll be fun to “sit and watch her eat”. Mehn, I sweated throughout that date!
Best Valentine’s
So this year, because I didn’t have a lot of time off my set, I came into town on the 12th and made plans with someone who helped organise a surprise Valentine’s Day getaway for me and my wife. We had to do it on the 13th because I had to leave town again on the 14th.
She was surprised when I took her to get pampered at a beach house that already had a masseuse and chef on standby. I also took her out on a boat ride to Radisson Blu for the second half of my plan. There, we had a room filled with roses and balloons and I remember her telling me she had never experienced Valentine’s Day like this before, which means my plan totally worked. It’s my best Valentine’s Day because I got to plan something special for her and everything actually worked out fine. Oh, by the way, she got me a new laptop as well, so she had a memorable experience while I got a new work machine. Love it!
Jammal Ibrahim — The Delivery Boy, The Lost Okoroshi
Worst Valentine’s
I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad Valentine’s Day experience because, hey, I’m a lover and a giver, so It’s always been great for me.
Best Valentine’s
The best Valentine’s Day I’ve ever had was probably one I celebrated when I was a teenager in secondary school. I remember my mum giving me a box of chocolates, some flowers and a book with my face on it saying, “My son, my number one man, my Valentine.” It’s still my favourite Valentine’s Day memory because my mum is my first love.
Michael Ejoor — Aberrations, Unbroken
Worst Valentine’s
This was a long time ago and even though I wasn’t an actor at the time, I used to get invited to sing at events and things like that. So on this fateful Valentine’s Day, I was invited to perform at TerraKulture, but I cancelled my performance because of love and went home to make the day special for the lady I was dating. I cooked, got rose petals, candles, little boxes with gifts in them, chocolate and all of that good stuff. She came in and was so surprised by everything. We had a wonderful time together, but shit hit the fan when, later that night, her phone just started buzzing with lots of messages. This was the BlackBerry era so it was just pinging and popping up and down. I saw a message that looked funny and then I did the one thing you should never do: I snooped. I realised that she had been taking me for a fool and seeing other people. The worst part, I didn’t know how to confront her because I was also wrong for invading her privacy.
The next morning, I sha told her what I saw. We broke up and she carried all her gifts and left. That was also my first serious Valentine’s Day.
Best Valentine’s
I was seeing this girl back when I lived in the UK and even after the breakfast of the last time, I went ahead to do my rose petals-and-candles move again. I hadn’t really said “I love you” yet, so I bought her this teddy bear from Build-A-Bear, a place where you can actually create a teddy bear of your own. I did this thing where I recorded myself saying, “I love you” into a part of the bear, so anytime she pressed its arm, she’d hear me saying it to her. It was a perfect Valentine’s Day because I was deeply in love at the time. We had so much fun together and it’s a Valentine’s Day I’ll never forget. Even though we didn’t work out in the end, she was one of my best relationships.
Chris Okagbue — Sanitation Day, Ije Love
Worst Valentine’s
I can’t really say I’ve had any experience that was so bad that it could be called my worst. Most of them were just mid because I was once in a relationship in which Valentine’s Day never happened for us because we would always have an argument or something the day before to jinx it. That sort of affected other relationships that followed because I was never really into the whole Valentine’s Day thing.
Best Valentine’s
I’ll pick my Valentine’s Day from 2019. I was seeing this girl at the time — sadly, we’re no longer together — and we had such a good time that day. Because I hadn’t done anything special in a long time, I took time out for three days just to plan a beautiful day for us. We had a beautiful private dinner, there was a trumpeter to serenade us and lovely deserts as well. It was a fun night.
