Being in a long distance relationship doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t enjoy this Valentine’s day with your lover.
Are you in Lagos and your partner is based in London, or in the far North of Kaduna State and your partner is in Port Harcourt? If you are in one place and your lover is in another, you can enjoy Valentine’s day with them without having to travel to see them.
Just like the quote “distance is just a test to see how far love can travel,” social media and technology has made it easy for lovers to communicate and express their affections for each other without seeing each other physically.
Here is how you can celebrate Valentine’s day with your long-distance partner.
