Fellows,

A quick one
One of my friends celebrated her birthday recently.
I was lost in thoughts over what to buy for her.
So I surfed the internet and I saw a lot of suggestions.

I ended up getting a flower for her. I ordered the flower on an online flower shop and it was delivered to me.

On her birthday, I took the flower and went to her place. I presented it to her during the little birthday bash she organised.

To my utmost surprise, she and her friends looked at me with contempt. She was not happy I got the flower. It was glaring on her face.

I have seen a lot of movies where flowers are presented to girls and they are very happy.

Why is it that some Nigerian girls don't value the gift of flowers?

I spent NGN 7,500 to get the flower!

Flower gift for this kind condition of the country? haba you ma think am.

Not every women, even in the movies you watch, like flowers for a gift. And a bigger problem here is in your assumption that movies accurately portray real life..

Is not a Nigerian girls thing. Girls generally dont accept or appreciate flowers like before. Even oyibo girls don stop to dey collect flowers. Dont know about indian girls sha

I just wanted to do something that is not really a norm here. I could have gotten her other stuffs but I wanted to try something else.

Indian girls cannot reject flowers especially red ones, because they actually believe red flowers is a sign of true love and romance. Which Nigerian girl will collect flower as a gift? Girls are actually materialistic and money consious.

Yeah, i really love your idea, presentation of flowers show true love or affection. But she should had at least collected it To just show appreciation...

And the flower is really cute and lovely.

You should have given her 5k instead and sprayed the 2500 balance on her in 100 naira notes

Then tell her to buy flowers with the 5k

Bro, you sef no try naw....
You for at least buy land give her first where she go plant the flower put now..

They're too broke and hungry to appreciate flowers

It's the most romantic gesture ever when it's coming from someone you love.

A boyfriend, fiancé, husband...

The intentionality is beautiful...

The princessy feeling...

But from anyone else... Please keep it. Feels inappropriate.

So a friend giving you flowers on an occasion such as graduation or award celebration is pointless?,

Boss lalasticlala please do the needful

what are we going to do with flowers?, bring real gift like money not flowers, flowers are now old fashion

Are you actually talking about the most confused set of Omo sapiens God mistakenly created?

The NIGERIAN girls wey I know well well go say for their minds like--"Oga,if to say you give me the cash,e for better this one by far na? . Very unromantic specie

virginprincess:

So it's just about the money.

Flowers are expensive you know.

U self! Wetin she wan use the flower do?

She wasn't happy because you should have wired the 7,500 to her instead She wasn't happy because you should have wired the 7,500 to her instead

Okay, I didn't think of those occasions.

Flowers are not really useful as a birthday gift. Flowers ought to be paired with something else, like a teddy, jewelry etc. not a standalone gift. Besides, I have severe allergies to pollen.

Is flowers eatable or cashable?
