A romantic dinner for two at a fancy restaurant &#8211; you are talking about N50,000 or waaayyyy more. A weekend getaway? That\u2019s a premium experience reserved for the elite. And that\u2019s not to talk of the sometimes arduous journey from meeting your lover, and navigating through the proverbial talking stage before becoming official. It\u2019s not easy. But, it is worth it when you find real love.
