What are you getting me for Valentine? This is the most asked question in the month of February and I've come to realize that most times it comes from the female folks. Now lets ponder over the relevance of February 14th is it all about receiving gifts? Does sharing gifts portray your love for someone? Well if you live in Nigeria the answer is Yes........ Only but a few would disagree with this theory and if you are among this category a typical Nigerian woman would say you're broke. Well you won't die if you empty your account and get her that expensive gift but am business oriented and i just don't fancy that *dodges bottle from a group of angry girls*
But i begin to wonder why most ladies believe that a guy who cant meet up with the needs of February 14 is not worthy to be in their lives or doesn't love them but sister which would you prefer a guy that treats you like a queen on the 14th of February just for personal gains to a guy that treats you like a queen for 364 days (excluding Feb.. 14) because he loves you.....its sad how girls turn guys to extremists not to achieve their dreams but to meet up with their valentine needs so they can hangout in eateries (you knowing all the eateries doesn't mean your classy it proves your a glutton, keep acting like you don't know that the economy is hard until you visit your boyfriend on February 15th and catch him soaking garri with salt).
The essence of valentine is in chaos although it has pagan origins it was still based on moral and agape love now its just self love and personal gain you want the gifts and he wants what's in-between your legs . In my own opinion i think valentine's day has brought more harm to the planet than good judging by the immorality carried out on that day. Valentines day has brought more bastards to the world, has been the cause of many broken relationships, has wrecked homes, and even brought death upon some unlucky ones. I wonder if there is a percentage of the world's population that still perform the rituals of celebrating valentine in the right way, going to orphanages, prison yards , visiting the less privileged or helping those that are in need without asking for anything in return. Now don't get me wrong am not saying you can't have a nice time with your boo but If we cant celebrate it in the right direction i see no reason why we should use it as an excuse to propel immorality.
On that note i #SAY NO TO VALENTINES DAY until its original purpose is restored
