00:01 - Love is in the air.
00:04 As another Valentine's Day approaches,
00:06 we hit the streets of Lagos to get a feel
00:08 of what's happening.
00:09 Join us to hear what people have to say
00:11 about their plans, sentiments, and experiences.
00:15 - Every day's supposed to be lovers day.
00:17 You know what I'm saying?
00:18 It must be a Valentine's Day before you love one another.
00:21 You know what I'm saying?
00:21 It must be Valentine's Day before you make others happy.
00:24 - Valentine is for love sharing.
00:26 It's not about your girlfriend alone.
00:27 It's not about your wife alone.
00:29 It's about love.
00:31 You share love to people.
00:33 You give beggars money.
00:35 You share love to everyone around you.
00:38 That is Valentine for you.
00:39 - My view about Valentine is not just my partner,
00:42 but about everyone.
00:43 To show love and care to everyone.
00:45 - Valentine is a time where I get gifts,
00:48 receive gifts, and spend lots of time
00:50 with the people I love.
00:51 - Valentine, the whole scope of Valentine,
00:54 to my understanding, is all about a sense of love.
00:58 And if love, in quotes, is being defined without Christ,
01:03 who in service, the love.
01:07 Love is something one should be celebrating,
01:09 not just only on that day, but all the time.
01:11 - It's just like a normal day for me,
01:12 because I don't think I have anybody to take out
01:16 or anybody to take me out.
01:17 I'm just alone.
01:18 - This year's Valentine's Day is actually the beginning
01:22 of the Lenten period for Catholics.
01:25 So we'll be on sober mood, fasting mood, prayer mood
01:28 for this year's Valentine's Day.
01:29 - Valentine is for everybody.
01:32 It's a period to display affection, to show love,
01:36 and probably to share gifts to some of your loved ones.
01:40 - One thing is clear.
01:41 Valentine's Day is a celebration of love in all its forms.
01:44 Whether it's spending time with a partner,
01:47 cherishing friendships, or simply indulging in self-love,
01:50 there is something magical about this day.
