Valentine is Here...

                                        VALS DAY SAGA AND GUY'S WAHALA

As the spirit of Valentine gather momentum, with all the wild expectations and imaginations, the red dresses and lipstick, the chocolate and red roses loved ones share, for some it is a day to relish. Others think it’s is no big deal.

Speaking to most guys on campus, I realized it was not a day most of them would pine for.

I wish ‘14th’ February was not on the calendar,’ Kwabena told me.

Some guys have already packed bag and ‘portomanto’ and are  in Accra just to escape spending on this day.Others have switched off their phones, some are breaking up or are quarreling with their girlfriends as witty tactics to escape the pressure that comes with it.
While some on the other hand are traveling to spend the day with their loved ones.

 Most girls can't wait to be surprised BUT the guys dread it as they see it as a time of suctioning to dryness of their pockets by these 'parasitic' ladies.

My question is, ‘how are you spending the Valentine’s day?’

Get a Teddy bear for that special lady. 

Ladies like me love teddys. It makes us go gaga. A hamper, chocolate, perfume or a sweet scented flower won’t be a bad idea at all. How about a Rolex? 

Who said Tweaaa?

Come on guys, make that special someone smile.

There are a lot of programs going on around campus, from stage plays to parties and dinner. Take her out on a date, and let her feel loved.
 That is not to say the ladies should do nothing.

‘It’s a two sided coin’, Charles told me. 

Get him something nice too. A photo frame with his picture, perfume.chocolates.wine or a Rolex luxurious watch as well.

                                  Valentine’s Day is a day for expressing love not making love. 
                                 ‘Ladies keep your legs crossed ’Dr. Adebanji, my lecturer advised.
                                   And the guys don’t mess up.

I’ve got my own plans for the day. Catch you on the flip-side!
