Valentine's Day Myths Revealed - Do You Believe Any Of These Myths About
Valentine's Day? You'd Better Read This


SureNaija has your Valentine's Day covered. Make
sure to check out our ideas for 10 things to do on the big day or how to make the 14th a sensual Valentine's Day .

As a woman, I’m here to give you straight men
my personal opinion on the monstrosity that is
Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day is a Hallmark
holiday. We all know this, but at its core it’s about
appreciating the person you are with at that
moment in time or if you are single celebrating sex and love in general. There’s no right or
wrong way to do Valentine’s Day, but there’s a lot
of people who would tell you otherwise. (Okay, I
mean, dumping your girlfriend with a singing telegram that says, “Get your crap out of my place
tonight and take flight” is pretty dark, but I would
like to think none of you readers are that devoid
of basic decency.)

According to sweet fables of ancient history,
Valentine’s Day honors the day that the goddess
Aphrodite punished her son Cupid (who was a
God) for his relationship with a mortal, Psyche.
Although Aphrodite was a loving, nurturing
woman she was also painted as an extremely jealous woman when it came to the men in her
life, including her own kin. (What an original idea
to attach to a woman, can we whip out the Bible
next and talk about how manipulative and evil
Eve was?) Cupid and Psyche did not work out for
the differences in their mortality and their crazy families, but Cupid did famously shower Psyche
with luxurious gifts on their first night together.
Then, Hallmark got involved, like, way later.

In the name of fables, let’s dig into some more
modern myths surrounding Valentine’s Day that
should be challenged:

Myth: You Have To Break The
Bank

According to a survey performed by The National Retail Federation, in 2014 the average American spent $133.91 on their significant other
for Valentine’s Day. Although it was reported that
men spent twice as much on gifts alone (men
reported $108.38, while women were at $49.41),
it seems that the numbers are telling this: you do
not need to break the bank on Valentine’s Day. When you really think about these numbers,
$133 is not a lot for an evening out. Keep it
simple. Valentine’s Day is about spending time.
Showing you care. It’s the most cliché concept in
the book of love, but come on, man it’s not about
the money, and if it is, then you might need to check the vitals of your relationship.

Myth: Chocolate

The aphrodisiac qualities of chocolate? Probably a myth.

Yes, a lot of people like chocolate but the whole
idea that the way to a woman’s heart is flowers,
diamonds and chocolate is about as old as my
grandmother’s car. The way to a woman’s heart is
through great orgasms and friendship. Yes,
chocolate never killed any woman (in fact, it only made Jeanne Calmentstronger until age 122), but when it comes down to it great sex always
beats chocolate. Always. Why do you think the
women in the commercials eating chocolate are
sexualizing that truffle? (Many reason, we know
commercials are crap. I hope you get my tone,
man.)

Myth: New Couples Need To
Celebrate A Traditional
Valentine's Day

I do not agree with the forced subjection of a big
Valentine’s Day wine, dine and romance when
you are at the beginning of a relationship.
Obviously, you should want to share this day with
the person you are seeing (if you do not, then
you got problems because why would you bother dating someone you do not even like), but
if the relationship is fresh, the celebration does
not need to be grandiose and grossly romantic.
Just spend the night together, but offer a little
more than you would on a normal date. Use your
imagination. Have fun together.

Myth: You Need To Buy
Lingerie

In my early twenties I worked at a really upscale
lingerie boutique. Sunday’s were my favorite day
because that was the day when all the crappy
boyfriends would come in, sweating out the
alcohol from the night before in their overpriced
sunglasses, desperately trying to find their girlfriend a lingerie “gift” - Really, who is that
“gift” actually for, man? Come on - to make up for
staying out too late or doing whatever thing they
think they did wrong. It was hilarious and I loved
it. The thing about lingerie though, is that you
want to pick it out yourself. All woman have at least one if not a few self conscious thoughts
about their bodies, so when dressing up in such
an intimate outfit they have to feel totally
comfortable, confident and sexy. It’s really nice
when you guys try but lingerie is something you
should let her pick out or buy together. Make it about both of your fantasies.

Oh, and only 11% of men who buy gifts buy lingerie.

Myth: DIY Gifts Are A Great Option

How many times have we seen this scenario
played out as comedy in sitcoms? Probably way
more than we can actually remember and it
always goes horribly wrong. When you and your
honey are low on cash, why not just make it
about having time together? Talking and sex are two great things that cost you nothing. Fulfill her
greatest sexual fantasies. Let her get in on yours.
The options are endless and penniless.

Myth: Couples' Baths Are Sexy

This idea is always killer in theory, but the reality
is that most of us do not have tubs big enough to
fit two human bodies comfortably. There’s
another problem too: a few years ago a study showed that hot baths might be destroying men’s fertility. Sexy, huh?The water gets cold,
your junk shrivels up and things just aren’t
always as awesome as they are depicted in
romantic Hollywood scenes. By all means, if you
have a big old jacuzzi tub, then the whole sexy
bath thing can work, but why not try a long, hot shower together instead? Water sex is always fun
and healthy when there is no chlorine involved.

Myth: Valentine's Day Is The
Perfect Day To Pop The
Question

There are so many mistakes that can be made
when popping the big old question. My personal
favorite is the public sporting event big screen
proposal fails. That’s just comedy for hours.
However, there’s this common myth that proposing on Valentines Day is the ultimate, most romantic thing a man can do for the woman he
loves. Guess what? Having your engagement date
on Valentine’s Day is like being born on Christmas
Day. According to a study, up to six million people expect or suspect they’ll be proposed to
on Valentine’s Day. Who wants to share such a
personal moment in their chosen path of
monogamy with a national holiday, and so many
other people? (I mean, from what I can tell, serial
monogomists aren’t so into sharing anyways.)

Happy Valentines Day and good luck!

Akwa Ibom Stadium nominated for global award

Nigeria’s most modern stadium, the Akwa Ibom
International Stadium, has been nominated for the
2014 Stadium of the Year award.

According to a press release from StadiumDB,
which keeps a database of stadia worldwide, the
newly built Stadium in Uyo, nicknamed “Nest of
Champions”, is among venues nominated for the
award.

A breakdown reveals that the current edition
includes 32 major stadiums opened in 2014. Eight
are located in Brazil, three in the USA, while
Hungary and Poland each have two nominees.

“It’s great to see a new stadium for Nigeria to be
proud of. Its white outer cladding and illumination
also make it stand out globally and become a true
landmark for Uyo,” Grzegorz Kaliciak, founder of
StadiumDB.com, organizer of the competition, said.

Officially opened on November 7, 2014 by
President Goodluck Jonathan, the Akwa Ibom
International Stadium is set to be the new hub of
sporting activities in Nigeria even as the Super
Eagles have already adopted the stadium as their
new home ground, same as the U23 team, Dream Team VI.

Seen as a largely transparent award, stadium
enthusiasts from around the world have been
accorded the chance to select their Stadium of the
Year.

“Each Internet user may vote only once by selecting
five most favourite stadia. Within the first 4 days
over 25,000 people have given their vote through
dedicated online platform. The vote is open until
February 17,” the organisers said in a press
statement.

“A separate vote is run by the competition jury,
consisting of famous architects from five countries.
Bob van Bebber and Mike Bell from South Africa
designed stadiums of the 2010 World Cup, while
Bruno Campos from Brazil was one of the architects
of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The Jury also consists of John Bontinck (Belgium), Bryan Roe
(Ireland) and Serban Tiganas (Romania).

The Public Vote and Jury Vote awards will both be
announced on February 19.

The Stadium of the Year is held every year in
January and February by Stadiony.net and
StadiumDB.com, two websites dedicated solely to
sports stadiums. Current edition is already the fifth
one. Previous winners include Aviva Stadium
(2010), PGE Arena Gdańsk (2011), Gremio Arena (2012) and Ghelamco Arena (2013).

Can PDP rise again in Edo?

By SureNaija.com

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State,
once a strong political institution, has in the last
seven years suffered a self-induced dwindling of
fortunes. The July 14, 2012 governorship election
defeat in all the 18 local government areas may well have signalled the death of the party in the state.

It would be helpful for a fuller and better
understanding of how and why the party in Edo
State came to this sorry state. After the unfortunate
and ill-advised annulment of the June 12, 1993
presidential election won by late M.K.O. Abiola , an
Interim National Government headed by Chief Ernest Shonekan was put in place by Gen. Ibrahim
Babangida in August 1993. It had lasted barely
three months when it was overthrown in
November of the same year by Gen. Sani Abacha.
Abacha promptly dissolved all political structures in
the country including the two political parties of SDP and NRC, the National Assembly, state assemblies
and governments.

His attempt at giving the nation a democratic
government led to the formation of political parties
that later became known as the five leprous fingers.
The idea to transform self from military head of
state to a democratically elected president reared its
head at this time. The subsequent death in 1998 of Gen. Abacha and the ascendancy to leadership by
Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar thereafter paved the
way for the resumption of full political activities with
the announcement of a transition time table to end
with presidential elections in 1999. It was,
therefore, in 1998 that several political players dubbed old and new breed politicians held
meetings that culminated in the formation and
registration of several political parties prominent
amongst which are PDP, ANPP, AD, ACN, APGA and
LP. In Edo State, prominent political figures teamed
up in Edo Solidarity Movement (ESM) to scout for a national party which they believed could win
elections. These figures include Chief Tony Anenih,
Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion,
Chief Tom Ikimi , Chief J.B. Momoh and a host of
vothers.

The alliances formed before and after this
consultative meeting led to the three major political
gladiators in the state, Chief Anenih, Dr. Ogbemudia
and Chief Igbinedion, teaming up in the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP. This simple fact of these
leaders who had previously held sway in different parties joining forces in the same party gave the
PDP an edge. In the 1999 elections, the PDP
performed so well that it appeared it was the only
party that contested elections in the state. In the
heat of the 2004 diabolical plan of President
Olusegun Obasanjo to secure an illegal third tenure, the then leadership of the party, with active support
of the now chairman of the Board of Trustees
(BoT), Chief Tony Anenih, hatched a membership
re-registration scheme designed to deregister all
those who were perceived not to support the self
perpetuation plan of Obasanjo.

More than half of the members of the party were
thus shut out. One other factor w that has torn
things apart for the PDP in the state is the fortuitous
emergence of Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole as
governor, having won the gubernatorial election of
April 2007 on the platform of ACN. The woes of the PDP have since then multiplied beyond manageable
proportions with the Oshiomhole administrations
transparently committed and systematic application
of tate resources to better the lives of the people. In
six years, the Comrade Oshiomholeadministration
has done what two successive PDP governments could not do in 10 years while in power in the state.
Every aspect of governance has been affected
positively.

The present administration has constructed,
reconstructed and rehabilitated more than 50 inter
and intra-city roads most of them complete with
covered side drains, walkways and street lights;
primary and secondary schools have been
reconstructed and furnished; healthcare centres have been built and renovated; 100 new buses
have been acquired and running; thousands of
youths have been employed.

The woeful failure of the PDP 0at the 2012
governorship and 2013 local government council
elections must be seen as punishment for its
misrule of the past.what two successive PDP

Bayelsa monarch says Nigerians will regret if Jonathan is not re-elected


The Obanema of Opume Kingdom in Bayelsa State,
King A. J. Turner has predicted that Nigerians will
regret if they allow sentiments of tribe or religion
lead them into voting out President Goodluck
Jonathan in next February’s presidential election.

The monarch, who disclosed this yesterday while
hosting a pro-democracy group, United Summit
Friends Development Association (USFDA) in his
Abuja residence, said, “Nigerians will regret if they
chase President Goodluck Jonathan out of office.
They should vote him in next month’s presidential election for continuity of development.

“But if they must chase Jonathan out of office, it
shouldn’t be because of sentiments. It is quite a
challenging time for Mr President and I will always
support any cause that will promote President
Jonathan’s re-election. I thank you for finding me
worthy to be your grand patron. I can’t promise that I can take you to see Mr President at this time. If
he returns as president, there will be enough time
for you to see him so that he will thank you for
your contributions. Every deed will be rewarded,”
he said.

Earlier in his speech, the chairman of the central
working committee of USFDA, Rt. Hon. Jerome
Isangedighi, appreciated HRH Turner for the warm
reception accorded the association
notwithstanding his tight schedule.

He pointed out that USFDA in contributing to
President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election would
embark on grass-root campaign to the 774 local
governments in the country to sensitize Nigerians
on the need to return Jonathan as president in the
February election.
