According to her, she still remembers the experience with some sort of euphoric bliss.
“ My most memorable Valentine was when I was in school” she says. “ My Val surprised me with a very nice dinner outing. He got the workers at the restaurant singing for me.

When asked if she could remember her most memorable St. Valentine’s experience, the actress replied brusquely” I wish I have” and added tersely “ I don’t have any”.
“ Val days are usually a lonely one for me. I do visit the Motherless Babies Home sometimes. On that day, people think that the pretty gals are the happiest but no, we are the most lonely ones. But to me love is a beautiful thing. No matter how bad I have been hurt I will love again” she declared.

“I know it is a day to express love but where are the guys to express real love to?” she queried. “ Is it guys that would promise two or three other girls same day?” she added.
“The last one I had with my ex ended in disaster. On the fateful Valentine’s day he took me shopping and from there we returned to his house only to meet another girl there waiting for him. The girl immediately started putting up funny attitude that I had to leave. It was so painful because I never knew he had another girl, especially one with a very bad habit. Since then I have quit taking St. Valentine’s day seriously” she said.
I haven’t dated romantic men — Seilat Adebowale

“Two people I have dated never dig Vals. They blew my mind before or after Vals but not on Val days. Still waiting for that dude that will go the extra mile, to give me a car or take me on a trip” she added.
How I broke my mum’s curfew to club with my Val – Amaka Obi
For Nollywood actress and producer, Amaka Obi, nothing really comes to mind concerning unforgettable Valentine’s experience except the one that happened many years ago as a teenager of 17 years. “It was my very first Valentine as a teenager of 17. Before that day, my friend and I had a big plan how we were going to spend it but behold, my mum got wind of it and put me on a house arrest that week. That Val was on a Tuesday and my mum who was a minister at her church had to attend a service. That gave me the opportunity I needed. I had already stolen and sneaked the key away. The moment she left for church I sneaked away, taking the bush path, so no one could see me.
I ran to my boyfriend’s house who had no idea I was on probation. Then I went to the club for the first time that day; got drunk for the first time and drank alcohol all night. One leg of my shoe got broken too. But the funniest thing was that I got my first marriage proposal with a ring that same day but I declined. I can never forget that day because I had so much fun”
My Val came all the way from Lagos to Nasarawa to present me cake – Olaide Ogunyemi
Beautiful Yoruba actress and make-up artist, Olaide Ogunyemi signed off her maiden name in a matrimonial bliss to dashing Oluwayemisi on November 15th 2014. But before the consummation of their union the couple had a long story of love to tell. The one, perhaps, most cherished by Olaide was the love showed her by her heart-throb two years ago while she was observing her NYSC programme in Nasarawa State.
“The Valentine’s day I would never forget was two years ago while I was serving at Nasarawa State. My husband, then my boyfriend, came all the way from Lagos State to present me with a cake and a gold necklace with earring to match. It was really a memorable day. At first when he told me he was coming I thought it was all a lie and a tease. Love is real, especially when its shared equally between the two parties” she beamed.
My Val woke me up with a breakfast made in my name – Lizzy Gold Onuwaje
Up and up Nollywood actress, Lizzy Gold Onuwaje has a Valentine story that would make many of her peers go green with envy. The former Miss Delta State has got style and it appears this has caught up on any man who has got within an inch of her heart. Her story has a fairytale ring to it but in a most splendid manner.
Hear her: ”My most unforgettable Valentine experience was two years ago. A day to the Valentine I was with my man and there was no clue he was going to celebrate it. He kept telling Valentine is like every other day, that there is no big deal about it, that what matters most is the fact that he loves me. But on that Valentine morning, he woke me up with a breakfast of omelet and bread that spelt my name with the catchy headline ‘I Love Lizzygold ‘. You can imagine using egg and bread to spell my name. Don’t know how he did it but am sure he asked his cook to do it. Then after that he gave me a set of my favourite perfume ‘Thierry Mugler’. He knows I love it”
