If you dey vex because you single for Valentine Day, I get good news for you: no reason to worry at all! Hear me, I no dey here to make anybody feelings no matter or I no be V-Day hater. To dey hate Valentine Day bi serious boring and no reason for life.

Wetin I dey talk be say, if you dey single for dis Valentine’s Day dis year, e be as valid reason to celebrate as if you dey with person (or two or even more people, no matter how e be). Make I drop 30 ways make you fit celebrate your fine single self dis Valentine’s Day.
1. Treat Yourself With Spa Day
You fit tin wey dey shout self-love? Big spa day wey no go hold back. If you fit enjoy small luxury, book yourself plenty services wey go make you feel like royalty. We dey talk massages, nails, facials, soft robes, plus some free prosecco—you deserve am. If money no dey, turn your home into DIY spa with bubble baths, face masks, personal massager (*wink wink*), plus some chilled cucumber water. Whatever you choose, make e be day wey you go enjoy plenty.
2. Try New Recipe Wey You Don Save Forever
E get plenty TikTok recipes wey you don save. Bring dem out and make night dey sweet! Run go grocery shop, buy wetin you need, and start to cook. Women wey come before fit tell you say “way to man heart be through him stomach” (ugh), but na your own heart wey matter here. Make something wey dey hearty and fine wey go blow your mind for The Best Night In Of All Time. (Bonus if you Google best wine wey fit pair with the food or create your favorite cocktail/mocktail for house.)
3. Take Yourself Go Dinner
Taking yourself go dinner e dey underrated well well. Nothing sweet pass making reservation for your favorite chop place, dressing fine just for yourself, and ordering everything wey go make your mouth water, just because you fit. Carry good book or your favorite magazine (we fit suggest ours?) and enjoy as e dey sweet to treat yourself how you want (or rather, how you deserve) to be treated.
4. Plan Galentine’s Day
If you dey single, no mean say you go dey chill for Valentine’s Day alone. Even if your pals dey in relationships, make you plan ahead and link them for better celebration: Galentine’s Day. Sip some sweet drinks, chop better snacks, and show love to the fine friendships you get with women for your life.
5. Start Adventure
No be any rule say you gats wait for ‘your person’ to travel or go anywhere. Valentine’s Day be perfect chance to feel that wanderlust and go on solo adventure. Whether na one fine French town far away or just the artsy café with good paintings for the cool part of town, the world be your oyster, my guy. Chill for gallery, sip coffee and people-watch, enjoy new things at your own pace. Or if you no like go alone, fit book trip with groups like Adventures in Good Company wey dey do all-girls trips around the world.
6. Read Your Favorite Romance Novel
Remind yourself say love (or smut, at least) dey real by checking your favorite romance novel again or pick new one. (Or read some real-life love letters.)
7. Spoil Your Pets
I just ask my close friend wey dey single wetin she go do for V-Day and she talk say, “I go make lobster for me and the cats!” Chale, that one dey sound sweet. To be honest, I no be vet or pet owner, so I no fit talk if cats fit chop lobster safe (disclaimer!), but spoiling your furry friends and yourself still be sweet way to enjoy V-Day.
8. No Text Your Ex
I mean, or you fit do am. But make you read this first.
9. Do Solo Movie Marathon I sabi say calendar talk say na V-Day, but e dey perfect day for serious bed/couch-chill. Turn your living space to mad movie zone with comfy pillows, heavy blankets, and every sweet snack wey fit enter your eye (no need to share). Whether you dey watch creepy thriller to forget the day or romance flicks to fantasize about your movie boyfriend/girlfriend, na your own fine taste for film we dey celebrate.
10. Create Vision Board I sabi say vision boards fit feel old-school, but! E no be just fun excuse to buy plenty magazines, e dey help focus your goals and sharpen your dreams. So, go ahead. Grab those glitter pens and make vision board wey bright pass your life (or as you wan be). From travel pics to nice quotes, add anything wey fit ginger you (or just fine for the vibes). When you finish, hang am somewhere wey you fit see am daily to remind you say the future dey shine.
11. Write Letters to Your (Future) Self You ever wan time travel? Here be your chance. Grab your fine stationery and write letters to your future self. E be like journaling, but instead of the now, you dey focus on wetin go come. Plan your dreams, make sex bucket list, figure the kind person wey you go like for your next partner—anything! When you release your thoughts, send the letters to different versions of “you” for the future (like “To: Me When I Get My First House” or “To: Me When I Have A Baby”) so you fit chill with yourself for different levels of your journey. Seal them tight and open only when those special moments come, see wetin your past self talk.
12. Have a Long FaceTime Catch-Up With Another Single Friend or Family Member
If you’ve said or texted the words “we’re overdue for a catch-up!” in the past six months, go ahead and put it on the cal. Whether it’s a friend you haven’t seen in ages or a family member back home who’s also kicking it solo today, grab a glass of wine and get the low-down on how they’re doing. It always feels good to be there for someone and to catch them up on all the new happenings in your life.
