Though Valentine day was not intended for romantic relationships, but over the years lovers have hijacked it as a day of celebrating their love for one another and it seems it will forever remain so.

On valentine day, many people expects gifts from their lovers and maybe for the guy to take them out. (this is a Nigerian mentality though, as many western and developed nations have surpassed this ”na man suppose take woman out” attitude). But due to the harsh economic condition and youth unemployment, valentine is sometimes not enjoyed by the poor and low income earners

Here are ways to go about the valentine day if u don’t have money or broke.

On that day, try to do something no matter how small. On that day, clean your house in a new way possibly, some romantic arrangement with your lover’s pix or pix of both of you together, hanged/pasted in diferent places in your room.

Lets assume you have 500 Naira with you, you can buy meat #200, two cups of rice, where i stay its #50 per cup, tin tomatoes and fresh one #90 and maggi #10 amounting to 400. Ask her to boil rice make stew with those foodstuffs that day. Allow her wear one of your T-shirts while she do the cooking then buy soft drinks with the remaining #100.

Enjoy the meal together with laughter, teasing, and feeding of each other. Please compliment her cooking.

If you are opportuned to have a tv/dvd watch some romantic movies or play music, If you don’t have, play some party jamz with your phone so both of you can dancefor some hours and thereafter play some heart touching cool music (blues) like:
Forever – Paul Play
I swear – boyz to men
I swear – westlife
Don’t brake ma heart – Banky W
Because you loved me – Celine Dion.

After the music, sit together on your bed, look into her eyes, hold her hands and let her know how your world have not remained the same since you met her, how you wish to see her grow old with you, how you cherish every moment you spend with her, that she owns your heart alone. Let her know that tomorrow will be better than today, that you will pay her patience and love with hardwork to give both of you a better future. Let her know its not by mr. Bigg’s, shoprite, Tantalizers etc, but by what you truly feel down your heart and soul.

Retire to your bed late at night and spend the night the way you wish.

Happy Val in advance friends.

Forever, Paul Play, one of my best love songs. The only way to celebrate val's day when you are broke is to take your boo boo along with yourself and your body to Saint Valentine's grave and pay homage.
