Is Valentines Day a day to exchange gifts between couples, or is it a day for only men to buy gifts for their spouses? I have heard arguments from both sides of the issue. I am curious as to the opinion from Nairalanders.

Does anyone even have to buy gifts.Must there be a day to nuy gifts and show love? why cant we do it any other day?

I agree with y'all. Valentines day should be a day of sharing love, not necessarily gifts.

I show my Boo love everyday and Vice-Versa. . .so why should Val day be any special?

that is the thing I can not get over

What the heck is all these rantings about gifts on Val's day? Why are you Nigerian men crying up and down on NL? This is like the fifth time I'm reading a thread like this. It's not by force to have a girlfriend or boyfriend if on val's day it becomes a tug of war who is accepting or recieving a gift. Nothing wrong in the gesture or the day itself but it's only mediocre relationships that would place much emphasis on such nonsense.

Valentine is overrated. Everyday is a valentine for true lovers.

They are broke brokes looking for every and any excuse not to spend money they dont have

it makes perfect sense for them to avoid spending money that they don't have.

Valentine is overrated. Everyday is a valentine for true lovers

Abeg, any gift is a gift.
A dude once bought em 10p small cakes as a Val cake for his chic.
Letz face it. . . .A cake is a cake.

A nice gesture from either but it's not neccesary

Ewwwwwwwwwwwww Gregs pies are rank. Talk about airfilled flour with factor-made meat.

The guys are feeling the heat right about now You had one year to plan this whole thing so dont fook up now. Either you choose to remain single or you get with the program
