Congratulations, Valentine’s Day in Benin is here again. And in this Benin, you have two options. Option A: you can wear your Ayelala red, accept flowers like somebody’s ewe, and confess love that will still die to your one and only. Option B: you can do none of that and thank me later.
Okay, no need to stress yourself over which choice you should make, choose Option B. Why? Because Valentine’s Day in Benin City is a fraud and here are five reasons why:
Benin People Nor Sabi Love
People have said it and I will deny it if you ask me but Benin people are not exactly the best at romance or love. Even the Benin word for love is hardly ever used (look it up). We nor sabi love. But when Valentine’s Day comes, we will just carry it on our head like tuber of yams.
You Get Money?
Valentine’s Day in Benin City is expensive abeg. Whether it is Ice Cream at Mat Ice or a shopping trip to Market Square, you will spend o.And that one is even considered omomo Valentine’s. If you want adult version, you are talking spa session at Bloomcave, IPhone 14 Pro Max from Airport Road, a romantic rooftop dinner at Xzibit by Morzi or even a 100 x 100 inside town.
Benin Vendors Full Stop
Benin Vendors will nearly kill somebody’s hardworking child with price lists that look like you are trying to buy plots of land in Iguobazuwa. Just tell me why cake, wine, chocolate, teddy bear and trumpet (what am I going to do with that sef?) cost half a million. Okay, why is anything I will give someone on Valentine’s Day costing 10 million? If you like let them earn 26 billion on your head. If you don’t have anything to do with money, is it not better you roll it up and smoke it like a cigar than buy nonsense Valentine’s Packages?
Valentine is Coming, Where is Your Boyfriend?
Abeg, is it by force to have a boyfriend or girlfriend in this Benin? Why are those coupled-up people always trying to pressure us, consistently single people, into a relationship? Which one is you will not believe what my baby has planned for Valentine’s Day? If you like, the two of you should go to Mars on plantain leaves, what’s my own? The sad thing is the pressure does not end there. These lovebirds will still pepper us with annoying couple goal pictures like they are the only ones that have loved. Nonsense and ingredients.
Love Get Expiry Date?
Tell me why all these Benin lovebirds will be acting like if they don’t show their love on Valentine’s Day, the love will expire. Osas, if you love Ivie that much, why are you waiting for Valentine’s Day to buy her chocolate and spend borrowed money on tickets to one boring Valentine’s show?
If I May Conclude
If you like say it is jealousy that wants to kill me. My own is that Valentine’s Day in Benin is a scam and we should all dunk it into the nearest bin. This February 14th, I am inside my house, sipping my Caprisonne and waiting for the couples dem with their Ayelala red.
