Some of them said it is also their priority to educate fans on the true relevance of the day.

Friday morning that "I'm already with my wife and kids. We will be busy later in the day, but it is very important to spend precious time with your family first.

We will also make donations to some less previleged people later, because that is the real essence of Val's Day."

Paul Okoye, Peter's twin brother, also said: "I have been with my family since yesterday (Thursday), and early this morning, I composed a special song for my wife and son. She also gave me a gift in return.

I felt this is very necessary to do before we get busy for shows. After all, we work in order to make our family happy."

There have been misconceptions on the true meaning of St. Valentine's Day. While some people are of the opinion that it is a day to hang out with partners at bars, clubs and other fun havens, others believe it is a day meant to show love to everybody, the less privileged people in particular.

Popular female comedian, Helen Paul, a.k.a. Tatafo, said that it is a special day for people to show love and share with their fellow human beings.

The idea is to make someone or people happy, as the case may be and in your own little way.

"That is why I'm organising a free show tagged Singles Night Out With Helen Paul & Stars tonight. It is an all night show, and the purpose is to let the youths understand that spending the night with your sex partner is not the best way to celebrate the St. Valentines Day.

Despite being a free show, there will be performances from the likes of Tee A, Yinka Davies, Elenu, Basorge, Koffi and KSB among others. It's my own little way of making my fans happy this season," Helen stated.
