February 14: Cleric Demands Immediate Ban of Valentine Day, Reasons EmergeSource: Getty ImagesCleric: Valentines day no longer true love”Originally, the day was meant to promote acts of kindness and aid to those in need. However, it has now been widely embraced as a celebration of romantic relationships, leading many to engage in actions that contradict the true meaning of love,” Ighele stated. Spiritual Concerns and the Influence of Cupid”The event is associated with Cupid, a figure from Roman mythology, also known in Greek as Eros. The term erotic is derived from this, emphasizing the sensual nature of the day rather than the selfless love described in the Bible,” he explained. A Call for Government Intervention”It is the responsibility of the government, the church, educational institutions, and families to work together in fostering positive societal values. Allowing Valentines Day to continue in its present form only fuels moral decline,” he asserted.
