Don't forget Valentine! With only four days to go it's time for heart-searching decisions. Is it Samantha or Cindy or George or Andy? That's your problem - which is why it's no good expecting any help from Peter Powell, who'll be busy introducing live music from Marillion and Marilyn and new band The Farm. Nor from Nick Rowan or Dick Witts who are busy making films - or any of the star guests - or our studio audience. They're all saying nothing. Only you know. So, mum's the word.

A World About Us special

In the early hours of 31 December a military coup took place in Nigeria. It toppled a civilian government that could claim, with some justification, that under its administration the country had had a genuine opposition, an independent press, free elections and no political prisoners. Others claim that it had mishandled Nigeria's oil wealth and had become profligate, inept and staggeringly corrupt. A month before the coup a BBC team were there making a film with Nigerian singer and television journalist Onyeka Onwenu. Travelling the country, she talks with bankers and industrialists, street traders and farmers. With anger, affection and great candour she vividly captures the mood of the country in those critical weeks as the tensions mounted.
