Why? Just interested in the reason for your objection to flowers and by the way, what would be the "Nigerian' equivalent of this for those who say it is a white or western thing?

I see you are looking at it from the: "what is the benefit to me?" angle. Let us look at it this way: your husband knows you are not hungry, you can buy whatever you want and he also buys you stuff. In addition to all of this, he thinks a bouquet of flowers are beautiful and looking and probably smelling them might make you feel good in its own unique way and he sees it as a symbolic gesture showing his love and caring about you. Besides, they will not wilt (at least not immediately) if you place them in a vase with water.

What do you say to this?
Re: Flowers For You by Nobody: 1:25pm On Sep 22, 2014
jes wondering the equivalent or value of a bouquet of flower to a Nigerian gurl ,,

Yeah, they have not answered the question. Flowers are more about symbolism, like they have rightly observed, they are not edible. However, the symbolism seems lost on them. undecided

Materialism vs. Symbolism.

The things you have listed are material. However, the flowers though not abstract are actually symbolic in nature. I hope you get this explanation.

Trees are heavy, not so beautiful and would probably crush you to death.

What he is saying is: "If you say no to flowers because you think they are not a Nigerian thing, what symbolic gifts do you value that do not involve you actually eating or using them as a tool, gadget etc?' You would drive a car and use a phone to communicate/socialise. Hence, they are not symbolic but functional gifts.
