Valentine’s Day Oops: When Love and Lagos Wahala Collide

Valentine’s Day. The one day a year when couples flex their love like it’s an Olympic sport and the rest of us either fake excitement or aggressively mind our business.

But not everyone makes it out of the day unscathed. Some people take Ls so brutal that even the universe had to pause and say, “Damn.”

Here are the worst, most wahala-infused Valentine’s Day disasters that prove love isn’t for the weak.

1. The Uber Ride to Heartbreak 💔🚗

Imagine saving your hard-earned money for a Valentine’s dinner, only for your babe to text, “Hey, my boyfriend is taking me out. Can we reschedule?” while you’re already in the Uber on the way to her place. The only thing moving faster than the Uber meter is your blood pressure.

2. The N3,000 “Luxury” Date 🍽️💀

One guy planned a fancy Valentine’s dinner, only to realize belatedly that his wallet was crying. He took his babe to a restaurant and ordered “whatever N3,000 can buy.” The waiter suggested water and vibes. She left mid-date, and he had to eat alone. Love is expensive, my dear.

3. The Disappearing Boyfriend Act 🏃‍♂️💨

A Lagos babe got dressed to kill, booked an Uber, and showed up at her man’s house—only to find out he had traveled. No text, no excuse, just poof. Gone. Maybe his love for her expired before his flight ticket did.

4. “I Thought We Were Just Friends” 😭💔

A guy bought gifts, planned a whole surprise date, and wrote a heartfelt message… only for his crush to say, “Aww, this is so nice! My boyfriend will love these chocolates.” Man went offline for three days to recover.

5. Valentine’s Day and Fuel Scarcity = Tragedy ⛽💀

One unfortunate soul borrowed a car to impress his date. But with fuel scarcity in full swing, he found himself stuck in traffic, A/C off, sweating like someone who forgot his JAMB registration number. He reached the restaurant two hours late, only to find her with another guy. The fuel wasn’t the only thing that finished that day—his dignity did too.

Moral of the Story? Love with Sense! 😂

Valentine’s Day is a scam. If you’re single, buy yourself small chops and sleep early. If you’re in a relationship, remember: only love backed by sense will survive Lagos traffic, fuel scarcity, and the heartbreak Olympics. Happy Valentine’s Day, warriors. Stay safe. ❤️
