Why Don't Nigerian Girls Appreciate Flowers As Gifts? by galatico(m): 10:02am On Oct 23, 2008
I noticed that most Nigerian Girls prefer monetary gifts on there birthdays, Christmas, Valentine or any celebration date instead of flowers. When you visit your Girl on her birthday just buy her flowers and see how she reacts she'll hate you for life, what she expects from you is Money not flower. Nigerian Girls in the house I need your response. WHY DO YOU PREFER MONEY TO FLOWERS?

NA TRUE SAY 9JA GIRLS NO TOO LIKE FLOWERS? I THK THIS IS AS A RESULT OF UP BRINGING,

HOW MANY FAMILY IN 9JA BRING UP THEIR CHILDREN IN A FLORISH ENVIROMENT THE WHITE WOMEN LIKE FLOWERS FOR THIS REASON,

RIGHT FROM BIRTH THEY SEE FLOWERS AROUND THEM, IN THEIR HOME OUTSIDE EVERYWHERE.

ANOTHER THING IS THAT SOME 9JA GIRLS FEEL THAT THE FLOWER WILL PERISH FAST, BUT OTHER ITEM LIKE MONEY OR GOLD GIFT CAN AT LEASE BE USED SEVERAL TIMES.

Why only flowers?, will it be wrong if you add a box of chocolate to the flowers or even a card which of course will last longer than the flowers.

I love flowers as part of gifts especially on val and birthdays not as the main gift. I can keep it alive for as long as possible but the bad thing is that our environment is not very friendly to them, so they die easily no matter how hard you try to preserve them.

It's always beautiful though and well appreciated to have a florist deliver flowers to my desk with a note from my sweet heart, just to say 'I love you'

No matter what the gift is, a girl should appreciate a flower gift from her guy or who evere, if she would asked for more it's better than showing the person that u don't appreciate a flower gift, after all a flower is a very soft and tender gift.

i love this one.

Flower is not african culture.

So you won't blame them. Love is expressed in african way by material gift. This is because women were meant to be dependent in African culture.

However, if you give a white girl only flower on a birthday when you have money to get her a good gift, she will consider another bloke on the side.

A big yes it should be truely accepted, If everybody love flower as u claim why shouldn't it be accepted as a gift by every1?
Like i said befor, if the girl which to ask for something more she could, but rejecting the flower gift is not nice and that does not show any respect for LOVE.

For those of you claiming to know why white girls like flowers, it's a load of rubbish. Some do and some don't, just like you guys. They don't do that much for me, Yet another girl might be overwhelmed by them. It does not depend either on if I grew up in the countryside or on a sidewalk in London or a street in Lagos.
.....'However, if you give a white girl only flower on a birthday when you have money to get her a good gift, she will consider another bloke on the side.' what a load of rubbish! ! It really annoys me how this kind of junk goes around. How many white girls have you dated that have done this? As in every country you have your different kinds of people. Are all white girls the same? That is like me saying all Nigerian girls are the same (and I know full well they are not) It annoys me how gullable some of you guys are sometimes. Stop listening to steriotypes and get some real life experiences from people who have some idea.
Re: Why Don't Nigerian Girls Appreciate Flowers As Gifts? by mogunremi: 8:41pm On Mar 31, 2012
and imo whatever the gift it should be appreciated and thanks said. I prefer material things that might help in the house ect but I am very appreciative when my husband buys other things, sometimes flowers. Recieving is not just about yourself but about making the giver feel respected and loved as well. It would take some pretty selfish person to throw any present back in the givers face - even if they didn't like it.
Re: Why Don't Nigerian Girls Appreciate Flowers As Gifts? by WilderPeters: 5:35pm On Jul 31, 2021
I didn't understand why Nigerian girls don't appreciate flowers, but I understand now. I got a girl some flowers that last a year, and she was not happy about the flowers. It left me devastated.
