Valentine’s is here. A day when lovers express how they feel to their loved ones. It is a day when the world is painted in red from clothing to accessories and gifts, which are littered in the city streets.

Though this year’s Valentine’s happens on a weekday, various events have been lined up. Lovers of both genders will be free to choose whether it’s Valentine’s or Men’s conference or prayer day.

Men’s conference is an event dubbed for men by men that will be happening at the Carnivore grounds from 2 pm to 6 pm. Media personality, Stephen Letoo, who doubles up as the chairman for the conference, is the brains behind the event.

On the other hand, President William Ruto called on Kenyans to show up at the Nyayo Stadium for prayers over drought and hunger. The Head of State while speaking in Nakuru on Sunday, shared that the agenda would be to pray for the rains and that God would watch over the country.

However, for those who will be celebrating Valentine’s with their significant other and shall receive a bouquet of flowers on the day, this is for you.
