With Valentine’s day around the corner, journalist’s Tofarati Ige and Olushola Ricketts interviewed some celebrities about how they planned to make their valentines day memorable with some surprising responses
I will tell my wife I love her –Basorge Tariah
I don’t particularly celebrate Valentine’s Day; so, I have never had a bad experience on the day. My wife loves Valentine and she is the one that usually makes it memorable. I don’t usually celebrate birthdays and some of the other events people celebrate because I feel that celebration should be for every day. However, the most memorable Valentine’s Day experience I’ve had was when I returned home once and I found that my wife had set the table tastefully with food and candles.She treated me to some very nice meals but I kept laughing all through because it was novel to me.
Even though I do not subscribe to the practice of Valentine’s Day, I will continue the yearly ritual by calling my wife to tell her how much I love her.
I’ll just go with the flow –Belinda Effah
I’m not expecting anything for this year’s Valentine’s Day but if something comes, that would be fine. I’m a very open-minded person. I don’t like to be disappointed; so, I don’t have any expectations.
Valentine has always been neutral for me; I don’t regard it as being special. I usually don’t have any expectations. I prefer days like Christmas because it is about the celebration of God’s love, which is the best. I’m not trying to be a sadist but I still don’t understand the notion of Valentine. However, some people see it as a day to show extra love.
My most memorable Valentine’s Day experience was when someone really nice made me feel like a queen and bought a lot of gifts for me. I still cherish the memories till date.
I’ll be too busy to celebrate –Ebube Nwagbo
I don’t have any plan to celebrate it this year too. I would probably spend the day at work. I don’t have any memorable Valentine’s Day. I have always been working on that day. I believe in the celebration but I’ve just always been too busy to experience it.
My plans are secret –Anita Joseph
I have yet to know what my boyfriend has in stock for me this year. I wouldn’t also disclose whatever I am planning because I believe that it’s supposed to be a secret.

I don’t have plans –Shan George
For me, it is a day to remind your loved ones that they still mean a lot to you. Unfortunately, there is no celebration for me. I am at a movie location till February 26; so, I don’t have plans. Goodwill prayers from family and friends the best Valentine’s gift I’ve always had.

It’s going to be special one for my wife and me –Oritsefemi
I have an event in Ondo State and my wife will go with me. This is my first Valentine’s Day celebration as a married man and I want it to be special for us.

It’s like any other day –Doris Simeon
Valentine’s Day is like any other day for me. But I may go out of my way and put a smile on the faces of people on the streets because they need our love. We shouldn’t think Valentine’s Day is for lovers and couples alone. Nothing stops us from extending love to random people. I think that is the essence of Valentine’s Day celebration. I have received some nice gifts in the past, though I cannot remember most of them at the moment.
I was offered sex on Valentine’s Day –Iyanya
I will be busy performing at events, but I will try to make out time to call to some of my fans and wish them well. The celebration is all about extending love to people. I have been offered sex as Valentine’s gift before. I know people will not believe it, but that is the truth.
