Lagos Producer Declares Love on Billboards for Valentine's
Music video producer Femi Dapson, known for Burna Boy's "City Boy," rented digital billboards across Lagos to proclaim his love for fiancée Simi Sanya this Valentine's Day. His public declaration included heartfelt promises and her photo displayed throughout Lekki.
When a private Valentine's message doesn't feel big enough, sometimes you need a billboard or two.
Femi Dapson, the Nigerian music video producer behind Burna Boy's "City Boy" and Rema's "Calm Down," took romance to new heights this Valentine's Day. He rented digital billboards in two of Lagos's busiest areas to declare his love for his fiancée, lifestyle content creator Simi Sanya.
The billboards, positioned in Lekki Phase 1 and Phase 2, displayed Simi's photo alongside Dapson's heartfelt message. "To my Simi, a private message wasn't enough; I needed to shout it where everyone could see," he wrote on social media, sharing images of his grand gesture.
Dapson, who founded production company Nouvelle Films, became engaged to Sanya in July 2025 and formally introduced her in November. For Valentine's Day, he wanted the world to know she was his "missing rib," a phrase expressing she completed him.
His billboard message came with a promise: "Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for loving me. I promise to spend the rest of my life making you happy."
Sunny's Take
What makes this story shine isn't just the grand gesture, it's the mutual joy radiating from both partners. Simi responded with equal enthusiasm, reposting the billboards to her Instagram Story with the caption "Burst my head," a Nigerian expression of overwhelming excitement.
On her own social media, she shared photos of the couple with simple words: "With my forever Valentine." In another post, she wrote about their bond: "I love us, I love how precious our bond is. You and me against all odds forever."
The public display resonated across Nigerian social media, where users celebrated the couple's openness about their love. In a world where cynicism often clouds romantic gestures, Dapson and Sanya's genuine affection reminds us that bold declarations of love still have a place.
Their story proves that when you've found your person, sometimes the only appropriate response is to tell everyone who will listen.
