By Chinelo Ngene

Now the ladies finally get their wish, their fervent prayers for the elections to be postponed have been answered, leaving the men in their lives suddenly in shock on an empty pocket.

There you have it; the man in your life is in shock as you read this. He is probably surfing the web nervously in search of a perfect gift for you or planning the perfect getaway for two on an empty pocket. Even worse, he might be seeking a loan from his bank to finance this just to make you happy this Valentine’s day, *awwwww* he sure loves you.

One piece of advice here, if I were your boyfriend and I’m borrowing N500,000 to splash on you for 1 DAY, please know that i will grumble for the next 3 months until the loan has been fully paid.

It might even literally save your life.
