Valentine’s Day isn’t about reckless spending

Highlife musician Gladstorm Kwabena Akwaboah, popularly known as Akwaboah Jnr., has stated that Valentine’s Day is not about spending money unreasonably.

Addressing concerns that the celebration has become an excuse for reckless spending and promiscuity, Akwaboah disagreed, emphasizing that love should not be defined by extravagant gifts.

Speaking on Property FM in Cape Coast, he said, “Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love but it doesn’t necessarily mean buying a car or something expensive for the one you love,” as monitored by MyNewsGh.com.

He continued, “It’s not like spending unreasonable money but even if you could buy chocolate, it shows that on this special day you value and appreciate the person.

“It’s just to affirm your love for your partner and to express yourself on this special day of Valentine to your spouse that they mean a lot to you.”
