Nigerian entrepreneur Akin Alabi has stated that it is not necessary to buy gifts for one’s lover on Valentine’s day.
In a post he made on social media, he revealed that what matters the most is the zeal to continue work on whatever project you have at hand and if your lover is taking the case personally, then that is their personal problem.
He wrote:
It’s perfectly okay not to buy nada for your boyfriend/girlfriend on Val’s day. If he or she is vexing, don’t bloody care. Just keep working on that project, business, course, book, assignments or whatever it is that is important. Val’s day will add nothing to your life
