Some lovers of Valentine Day have expressed joy over
the rescheduling of the general election, saying that
with the recent development, they would now be able
to celebrate Lovers’ day on February 14.
St Valentine’s Day, also known as Lovers’ Day, is
celebrated on February 14 in many countries of the
world with the exchange of a variety of gift items
including cards, candy and flowers.
Besides gifts, many celebrants use the occasion to
wine and dine at various eateries and hotels. If the
presidential election had held on February14 as
previously scheduled, the 2015 Valentine’s Day would
have been devoid of the usual outdoor razzmatazz that
accompanies the day.
A civil servant, told the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN), in Abuja yesterday that this is the first she
would celebrating with her husband.
“During our courtship, my husband was the one buying
the gifts and sponsoring the outings.
“The postponement of the election is a welcome
development; so, I will use the occasion to surprise my
husband because he believes I am a stingy person.
“I will go to the market to buy some things for my
husband but I will hide them until the evening of that
day, then I will take him out,’’ Obiaku said.
A businessman, Mr. Williams Maduka, said he had
never bothered about such celebrations but due to the
sermons by the priest, he had decided to shower his
wife with gifts.
Maduka said the priest had continued to admonish the
men to buy gifts for their wives at least once a year.
“It was last year that I made a vow to my God that I
will be using the occasion of Valentine to give my wife
gifts and if possible, take her out and this will be the
first. “So the postponement has given me the
opportunity to fulfill my promise and this is going to
come as a surprise except, if she reads this your
story,’’ he said.
For Miss Funke Ademola, a businesswoman, the
postponement of the election was like God answering
her prayer. Ademola said she had bought some gifts
for her fiancé during her last trip to London and had
kept them for the Valentine Day celebration, adding
that this would be her last celebration as a spinster.
