The Nigerian Lady & The Bouquet of Flowers

Okay. I'm supposed to have posted this on Vals day but I guess it still isn't a bad idea to view it even after the lovey dovey season.

Of what relevance is a bouquet of flowers to a Nigerian lady? Just watch this funny video and add your own comments.

LMAO! I just forwarded this to my friends. The ladies make a good point: flowers wither away and you want your love to last a lifetime. Besides, flowers make me sneeze.

lol-- my naija sistas are funny.
as for me, I loved getting flowers on my birthday and just because(thinking of you flowers), it also includes a box of chocolate and they are the kind that comes in a vase. different colored roses.(pretty)

As a matter of fact, ladies I work with(in America) love getting flowers at work.they can display it on their desk and every one can ooh and aah about how pretty they are. until they die.

No, i do not like to get flowers on valentine's day. Any other day but valentine's because I like surprises and valentine's day is so overated.

I dont know if I like flowers o. I have never received one.

Olówó said...

Freal, they make me sneeze. I have allergies

Parakeet said...

Wow...this is such a coincidence. I was still discussing flowers with someone the other day and he had the same views. I love flowers. I always have. I was the envy of my colleagues when I got red roses delivered to me last Friday. I guess its a Western thing.

Afronuts said...

@Oluwadee...lol. you don't know? Haba, Rabi must have had a tough time deciding what to give u

@Olowo...Come to think of it, don't some oyinbo peeps too have allergies? Some of them must hate flowers too!

@Parakeet...you love flowers? wow! you've been akatarized! lol

Vera Ezimora said...

LOL!! What is up with the cake??? Will she eat the cake by herself?

Well, personally, I'll appreciate a bouquet of flowers. Why not??? It's Valentine's Day. What I wanna do on Valentine's Day is spend time with my darling and have a fun day. That's what I'd rather do.

Afrobabe said...

I love flowers and appreciate them....but it would look better for both of us if the flowers are accompanied by a gold chain or something....kilode??flower kuh...

doug said...

lol....hilarious! Nigerian women are very "practical". And what are flowers to such a woman huh? LOL

Writefreak said...

I love flowers, i love them when my hubby sends them to me...part of the things he gave me on valentine's day was a vase that had 9 roses in it, i loved it and i still have them in our living room...other gifts are welcome too...
Me i am a mushy human being anyways!

The Activist said...

This looked staged o Neye. Thanks for your comment on my blog. BTW, you no show us wetin happen for ya house on V-day o

Afronuts said...

@Vera…hmmm. Seriously? Wow.

@Afrobabe…Ha! I was expecting this kind of reply from you! lol
@doug…I’m telling you. They hate vegetables.

@writefreak…man. It seems once naija women leave the country, their desires for flowers suddenly becomes…well, erm desirable?

@Standtall…Cynic. It wasn’t staged jo. Do I look like a person who would waste time going round staging stuff like this? Haba. You dint even notice that I caught many of them unawares. And what happened in my house on V-day is too graphic for this blog.
