In Lagos, a city of over 20 million, love can get lost in the relentless hassle
While Valentine's Day brings hearts and roses, musician Bianca Clayroxu Okorocha wants to change the perception
urging that tokens of affection shouldn't be limited to just one day
I'm a musician and we just thought that it was a special and nice thing to do for people
Especially in this time and climate where things are, everything's kind of like a bit difficult
And all you hear on the news is like sad news and bad news. So we've thought that, okay, we'll do something to uplift people and put smiles on their faces
Taking music offstage, Bianca serenade surprised commuters with love songs while handing them single stem roses
turning shock into smiles one street corner at a time. People think that Valentine is only about romantic gestures
gestures only boyfriend and girlfriend husband and wife but valentine is really just about sharing
love sharing love to the to the less privileged to people around you just going out and sharing
love and things about love the musician and her partner surprised men too with roses and
olufemi oyeyemi a recipient said the gesture made him feel special and blessed wow i feel special
I feel best. And I really appreciate you guys sharing, them sharing the love
I talk to them with their couple and wow, it's awesome, it's great
Bianca and her partner's initiative did not just bring music and flowers to the streets of Lagos
but brought along hugs and smiles and great feelings that define Valentine's Day
