It is February. The month when hearts beat louder, lovers suddenly remember romance exists, and vendors prepare to make serious money from teddy bears, perfumes, and last-minute panic shopping.
This is the season of grand gestures, dramatic confessions, surprise proposals, and the occasional “I forgot my wallet” performance. It is also the time you quietly discover how much your partner actually rates you based on the effort they put into your Valentine’s gift.
Maybe you get flowers, surprise trips, or something shiny and expensive. Or maybe… you open a gift bag and find boxers and singlets staring back at you like a bad life decision. In 2026? We need to talk.
February reveals everything… Even your relationship ranking
Let us be honest. February is also the month you find out whether your Valentine’s Day is on the 14th or mysteriously shifted to the 15th. Yes, sorry you had to find out like this. If your celebration is happening a day later, you might not be the only “love of their life.” Just know you deserve clarity… and maybe a backup plan.
It is also the season of creative excuses. Suddenly, you start hearing:
“I don’t celebrate Valentine’s.”
“It is not my thing.”
“We are not kids now.”
"I'll be at work."
Or the absolute classic plot twist: “I am with my wife.”
Love season comes with sweet moments and messy revelations. You either get loved loudly or ghosted quietly. Sometimes both within the same week.
Scandals, feelings, and all the emotional baggage
February is where emotions run wild. Love stories bloom, secrets come out, and situationships start acting like full-time relationships. You might get showered with affection. You might get your heart bruised. Either way, this season delivers drama whether you ordered it or not. But no matter how your love life is behaving this month, Africa Magic is here to keep you company. Whether you are booed up or blocking people left and right, we are serving love stories hot all season long.
Love is doing overtime on Africa Magic
Speaking of love… romance is causing serious commotion across all your favourite shows.
On The Low Priest, Chibuzor and Achalugo are deep in love but stuck dealing with the realities of priesthood rules. Love is present, but marriage and children are currently sitting on the “not allowed” bench. Painful.
Over on Daughters of Water, Ima and Prince Nsikak are giving us tension, denial, and feelings that refuse to stay hidden. One of them is pretending not to care, but we see you, Ima. Love is knocking loudly.
Then there is Abdul from The Split. His fiancée Bimbo is pregnant, wedding plans are in motion, and somehow he is still involved in a bank heist. Love may be beautiful, but clearly it is also very expensive.
On Tinsel, Damini and Bimpe almost gave us emotional damage with talk of divorce, but love stepped in just in time. The couple is back to loving loudly and reminding us why we were rooting for them in the first place.
And of course, Frank and Mimi on My Flatmates are still navigating the ups and downs of love. Because let us be honest, relationships are never smooth sailing, but somehow these two keep finding their way back to each other.
Finally, the 10 singles on Heartbeat are deep in their search for love. And let us just say… the amount of loving happening in that house while they “find connection” deserves its own award category.
Whether you are loved up or laughing alone, we have you covered
This February, it is love everywhere. Sweet love, messy love, complicated love, dramatic love. Whether someone is sending you roses or sending you stress, Africa Magic is delivering a full dose of romance all month long.
