Valentine’s Day means nothing, Oh! You are doing fine, fabulously single at 45?
But, please be kind to yourself, face the truth for once. Last Valentine’s Day, you cried yourself to sleep. You were envious of your little niece when her date came to pick her up. She even asked you about what she could get for that her hot yummy chocolate boyfriend.
You could have gladly received a petal at least, if you couldn’t get a bouquet from that special someone.
Oh, how you longed for those poetic love lines and if only you could get someone to cuddle you while you both watch 50 first date movies.
My savvy sister in the Lord, you remember how you skabashed and prayed for Mr. Right to come this year. I’m sure you are not thinking 2017 is only two months gone. My people will say, it is today that determines what tomorrow will be like.
Gorgeous girl, you still think this is not about you? Valentine’s Day means nothing jo!
Today is Sunday, just two days to go. Has he called to tell you about that special place he wants to take you?
Did he ask for your shoe size or dress size lately? What about that pretty dress hanging in your closet; where will you wear it to?
I don’t just get why I am bothered about something that means nothing to you, I think I should just learn to mind my business. But the spirit of sisterhood won’t let me be. I need to continue and make you see reason.
Has he started coming up with one thousand and one excuses why he won’t be around on Valentine’s Day?
His typical lies: “Baby you know every day is valentine’s for us, I am sorry this year will be a little different because my boss has mandated me to go for an official training.”
Kai, you believed that big fat lie? So, what if he is going to be on the team negotiating with Boko Haram? Who says he can’t put you in a hotel while he attends to urgent national matters?
Well, except he will be detonating bombs all through the day and it is aired live on NTA. You know you will be so proud of watching his Jack Baur’s moves on television. Oh, how romantic. Don’t mind me, I watch too many American movies.
The nice ones will tell you, they will be working late into the night and these ones are the masters.
Madam wifie is already dressed in new lingerie, ordered from Victoria Secrets for this special night and patiently waiting at home while her hubby has been whispering sweet nothings to his sweet enchantress at a five star hotel in a cozy dinner setting.
Of course when he comes home, he comes with his gift for wifie too and he tells her how she is the best thing that has ever happened to him. He gives her an expensive gift and a lipstick stained Valentine’s card.
However, by the time you say Val, he has fallen asleep, because he is spent. The next morning when you start asking questions, he is defensive. Oh, this woman, what else do you want again, I bought you an expensive gift and I was with you all through the night? Did he lie? No! Case closed!
You are convinced right? Okay, let me fire on then! Number one reason you are alone on Valentine’s Day is, because you have missed out opportunities to be with men who like you. For crying out loud, you are drop-dead gorgeous and so guys should be swooning around you but probably you feel you are not good enough. If you don’t want to be alone this Valentine’s Day or the next, start loving yourself and building your confidence. Believe it or not, there are handsome guys out there looking for your type.
Another reason is you don’t socialize. For instance, you didn’t even have time to eat lunch today how much more going out to mingle. Listen carefully, now is the time to start meeting people. Attend weddings, parties and go on blind dates, very soon you will find someone just right for you.
Also, it may be that your confidence intimidates men. Honestly, I love confident women and I won’t tell you to trade it for any man. However, I bet, sometimes you just need to let off your guard and let him into the mystery. If he is for you, he will stay and if he is not, he won’t.
However, here is a clause, if any man feels intimidated, because you are better educated, driving a brand new car or you live on your own, then he is not for you.
Another reason you will be alone this Valentine is because of your greed. This is a special warning to all the budding single ladies. You are on your way to perdition, if you see all guys who come to ask you out as meal tickets. Why do you have to eat and get constipated each time he takes you out? As if that is not enough, you still want to take some home to a million and one relatives. That attitude only cheapens you.
You think every prospective toaster is a moneymaking opportunity? Go bury your head in shame! Stop complaining he is not asking you on a date this Valentine’s. Why would he? He doesn’t own an oil well yet, so he can’t feed all your village people on a Valentine’s date. Wait till he gets one, I’m sure he will call you then.
How can I forget you? Those of you who would hurriedly pull down your pants for any man and he doesn’t need to work hard on you. You are always ready to let him tap your natural resources for little or nothing. You have literally slept with all his friends, so he doesn’t need you to further complicate his life.
Hello Ms Tacky, I can’t rule you out too. Your dress sense is ridiculous and embarrassing each time he takes you out. Sometimes, it is hard to tell the difference between you and the ladies of the red light district. So, he would rather prefer to take the prim and proper ones on a date. I am not saying you should dress to please anyone but at least dress decently.
The grandest of them all, wifie and mother of his children, go get into the grove and stop being an old maid. Remind him of the sweet girl he walked down the aisle. Be the mistress and let him always hurry home to you. When he comes up with his cock and bull stories, don’t just look on like you don’t know the truth. Challenge him and ask questions. Stop acting dumb because you are the Mrs. The most important of them all, find out more about the art of seduction. You will thank me later! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Re: Watch out your wife might be bisexual
Bola, you are simply a guru, a psychology genius of some sort. I am just reading the back page of Sunday Sun and I can’t help but catch my breath. –Darlington,Aba, Abia State.
Thank you for being so blunt, we need more of your type in this society of ours, which is so saturated with hypocrisy. I love the way you are making this chilling exposition about the hidden female sexuality.

I read your article today and you wrote on “watch out your wife might be bisexual”. Thanks for dwelling on it, I urge you to continue. –Akaebe.
Bolatito, bisexualism among women is beyond the imagination of most Nigerian men. In fact, most men would count it as a mental derailment and send such women packing. But I have always wondered how some women, whose husbands travel over half a year, manage their sexual urge; even when one hardly sees them with men but only their female friends. Bola, dildo? That’s beyond any reasonable man to allow his wife adopt as a sexual stand-by option! Sane men would even stomach other men having sexual intercourse with their wives than a dead instrument. Truth to tell, most of these shoddy sexual practices were adopted from oyinbos through colonialism and the craze for western civilization by Africans. There is always the other side of the coin one would say, but most Nigerian men would not live with that unless the act is common to the peer. Even that, to most Nigerian men, is a curse. Gosh!
–Lai Ashadele.
Please ma, are you one of them? How do you know all about it? Do you think they will be happy the way you have exposed them? That will now change their behavior, so that they won’t be detected –0708222….
Dear Bolatito, I really do not see the need for this article you published today. Try to do something better. – 081369…..
Good write up again, yes most women are lesbians and bisexuals. You see them playing with clitoris while having sex with men. Men do rock pussy more than 5minutes o, Bolatito! Good write up. –Hon Chris.
Bola, you are really on point today. Nigerian people rather than the women alone have been hurt deeply. You have won my heart on your article today but frightening as it may, the issue of you not having secret? Remember, I promised last week to read you today; you are really not a flash in the pan. Thanks. –0803412….
