Election day has been postponed we are told as there are concerns of insecurity and safety of voters. That is the official story and whether we believe it or not, they are sticking to this official line. So now when Election Day approaches, Nigerian lives matter! Pull the other one, I say, Nigerians will have their say whatever time it is. The subterfuge is transparent and to some they had seen it coming. So though it came as a surprise to many, it seems that some had expected that the government was going to but spanners in to the works.

Nigerian men are concerned about the postponement of the much anticipated February 14 election, and that’s for a different set of reasons altogether. The economics of postponement really seems to be causing a headache as they are now hard-pressed to perform today, Valentine’s Day. How will they cope? The women are laughing but will they have the last laugh?

Many conveniently attributed his victory to ‘stomach infrastructure’ . A brand of exploitative politics that has acquired a legendary status . You can bleed the treasury if you like and buy and distribute gifts to the electorate from time to time or on the eve of an election. Others argue that Fayose is popular amongst the local poor. Stomach infrastructure is unfortunately designed for such popularity. You can embezzle billions meant for a state project and spend a few thousands distributing bags of rice and chicken to market women the day before Christmas . And be popular. A man of the people!

But if a pregnancy results from your Valentine’s Day activities—now I am talking to both couples and the unmarried who overstep their bounds—keep it; there are no unwanted pregnancies, only unplanned pregnancies.

The younger the couple, the tighter they squeeze is the submission of legendary reggae innovator Bob Marley in his chart breaking song Summer Holiday. This is probably because newlyweds have the tendency to want to do everything together including sharing the same bed. If fact if it’s a single bed, all the better.
