Happy Valentines Day, folks! Whether you’re single or boo’d up, into the spirit of the day or a bit anti-valentine, there’s a bunch of stuff going on both in the States and in Naija. Check out a short list after the click.
If you’re in New York City or on the East Coast close to the city, two things are happening today that you might be interested in –
1. A Love Journey: A story told from an African perspective: This will be a mixture of live music, poetry/spoken word and a networking game for folks to socialize and get acquainted. Click the link for more event info.
2. Comedy Diaspora! Think Globally. Laugh Locally. (Special Valentine’s Day Edition) – Hosts say its one of the best comedy shows to happen in Brooklyn. I’ll most likely be at this event so tweet me or leave a comment if you end up going too. [This is my Anti-Valentine’s Day pick – you can laugh without having to be in a relationship 😉 ]
If you’re in Lagos, there’s a bunch happening incuding:
1. Valentines with Cowry Jazz at Rhapsody’s V/I: 4 course meal + 8 piece jazz band. If you’re into jazz, and in Lag, this will probably be heaven.
2. Q Cafe – Valentine Evening (Ikoyi) – Quintessence hosts a night of live jazz music, comedy, BBQ suya, raffles, poems and games. BBQ Suya though? That’s probably de-licious. I’d go just for that.
3. Pulse VIP Night Special Valentine Edition (Victoria Island) – Ther will be karaoke for couples and Kamar, an R&B singer on Aristokrat Records, will be in the building to sing for folks. Click the link for more event info.
4. Love Made In Lagos (Surulere): Event details are a bit vague on this one, which is why I’m listing it – you never know what might be in store. Maybe love, maybe more. It will feature networking though, and since its slated to end at 4:00am, I assume there will be dancing and cocktails involved. Might be a great time.

Here’s a complete list of Valentines Day happening in Naij and the Diaspora – check it out for more stuff to get into today.
