A message for you this Valentine - Bamigboye Oluwatimilehin

St Valentine's day is here and those who are in love, want to be in
love, or want to re-ignite their love are preparing flowers, candy,
and cards for the object of their desires. But not all is fun and
roses when it comes to the 14th of February as my facts attests.

1. In the two week period leading up to Valentine's Day, Nigeria sales
of gold jewelry lead to 34 million metric tons of waste.

2. The vast majority of roses sold for Valentine's Day in the U.S. are
imported from South America, wasting fossil fuels.

3. Valentine's Day traces its roots to an ancient pagan holiday called
Lupercalia, in which men stripped naked, grabbed whips, and spanked
young women in hopes of increasing their fertility.

4. The Christian martyr St. Valentine was beheaded on February 14 for
performing marriages in secret.

5. Research suggests that 75 percent of suicide attempts are
attributable to relationship problems.

6. 69 percent of Nigerians will exchange Valentine's Day Cakes.

7. 67 percent of Nigerians are overweight or obese.

8. The first Valentine's Day card was sent by Charles, Duke of
Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London.
He remained a prisoner of war for the next twenty-four years.

9. A recent poll found that one in ten young adults admitted to
feeling lonely, insecure, depressed, or unwanted on Valentine's Day.
And that's just the ones that admitted it.

10. Forty percent of people have negative feelings towards Valentine's Day.

Stay Cool hommies... Never Be carried Away with the Lies and Shits
Attached with the worldly Interpretation of Valentine.
