    Here’s exactly how it went down

    Written By:

    Valentine’s on campus can be cute, but Closeup took it a step further.

    Closeup brought its Be My Val Party to the University of Lagos and Delta State University, giving 25 couples in each school a Valentine’s experience built on confidence, freshness, and real connection.

    Here’s exactly how it went down.

    1. 25 Couples had an unforgettable Valentine’s Day experience

    At the University of Lagos and Delta State University campuses, 25 lucky couples were selected for an exclusive celebration designed to bring them closer. From the moment the party started, it was clear this was about intentional connection. If you were selected, you were there to actually experience something with your partner.

    2. UNILAG turned into a full-on love hub

    At UNILAG’s Akoka campus, music set the tone immediately. There were interactive games, a packed dance floor, and moments when couples had to participate rather than just stand around. It kept things lively and slightly competitive.

    3. The curated wining and dining experience

    A carefully curated dinner setup that gave couples the chance to slow down and really talk. Candles, shared meals, and laughter. It created space for meaningful conversations and deeper intimacy.

    4. The creators 

    Closeup creators like Oceanvibes, Rukkaya, Therealjudy, Shank, Vagimedee, Harmonihie, Feeiziey, Bigdave, and Julie hosted special dinner moments that kept things fun but still relationship-focused.

    5. DELSU brought playful Gen Z energy

    Over at DELSU’s Abraka campus, the vibe was expressive and bold. Couples played interactive games, danced on the dance floor, and leaned into every challenge. The energy was lighthearted but intentional. 

    6. Confidence Was the Real Theme

    Across both campuses, one thing that stood out was that confidence changed everything. When couples felt fresh and self-assured, getting closer felt natural. That’s the message Closeup continues to push. Real connection begins when you’re confident enough to lean in.

    7. The campus tour is far from over

    If UNILAG and DELSU set the tone, then UNIZIK, UNIPORT, and UNIJOS are about to experience something special. Closeup’s Be My Val Party is heading to these campuses next, bringing the same music, interactive games, curated dinner experiences, and unforgettable couple moments.

    If you’re at UNIZIK, UNIPORT, or UNIJOS, this is your sign.

    To be one of the 25 couples selected for the next Be My Val experience, head to @closeupnigeria, tag your Val, drop your campus, and share why you should be chosen. When it comes to love and confidence, closer is better.
