flowers = romance and the women love romance :-) even Nigerian ones.
however, basic needs like food and shelter are more important when absent.
when dating a hustler or someone who isnt loaded, you have to demonstrate your ability to feed, clothe and shelter before you start acting all romantic.
remember, they don't complain about your lack of romance until they have actually given u face beforehand.
in short thy appreciate flowers but they would prefer to recieve them on a full stomach!

The particular Lady you talk of must be one of these 'Hungry babes', do as the bible express it 'flee' away from them.

dakmanzero, if you follow the posts so far, you will realize that this mathematical equation doesn't apply to 'all' naija babes. . . . just peeped in though

Man giving you flower is expression of his love 4 you. So, I personally love that kind of gift and will appreciate it from any guy that gives it to me. In fact, I will put the person in a special place in my heart. Ladies please let us always not be money concious, money is not everything.

ideosyncrasies-that is all it is. different people like diffrnt things and so, mr. man, find what your g/f likes. but i want to believ that, the whitie wu like and cherish flowers is not just because of the color, or the scents that re dabbed on em, but they tend to cherish flowers because, its a one of those things that re simple{cheap} that does not suggest to the lady that u re buying her 'affection out' wit expensiv stuffs and what nots. i think that is what -the flower tin signifies to the whites and western people alike. its a bunch of biutifl,simple and cheap garden in a wrapper that shows affection, it shows-"hia baby, this symbolises ow biutiful u re,u shine and glow ich time i c u and as biutiful and radiant as u re, yet so simple and down to earth" that is what i feel flowers symbolise to them. but come to Nigeria and u discova- that flowers cost so much, even more dan jewelry and that even removes the real essence of the 'flower givin' art. heck i cld buy a luvly gold pendant for 8k dan buy a bunch of fresh flowers for 15k, i could buy a bag of simple tins-cocktail mix of so many lady-like tins for a naija girl and she would appreciate it more dan a bunch of flowers and yet twill not cost me so much. i was into this lady sometime ago and i bot a cocktail mix of so many tins, from scarfs to lingeries to hair clippers to beads and wrist bands and a customised underwear and all this di not cost me mur dan 10k and i bet she luvd them mur dan if i had given her a bunch of reds. itumo? the itumo hia is that, flowers represent thse kind of sweet notins to the average westerner,shows u went out of your way to express your affection through this token that doesnt suggest ure buyin her ova and that is what we should emulate hia in Niaja too- if u really crave flowers, y not a bunch of fresh hibiscus[used for sobo drink  ]just kiddin, but u get d point- its not just flowers, its what the flowers represent conclusion! flower givin in Naija does not represent such affection to us in Naija, heck we cldnt afford it anyway if we wanted to- unless u want lemon grass or hisbiscus flower or the local fly infested bunchs!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are many Nigerian girls that like flowers. I love flowers as gifts. They don't end up in the trash. I put them in a beautiful vase with water and flower food in my kitchen and when they dry up,I pluck out the dry flowers,put them in a jar as pot pourri. I think a gift of flowers are so romantic,especially when delivered at work on valentines day with a message on a card that simply reads because, I love youThat is absolutely romantic  and when he adds a box of fine gourmet chocolate mmm,mmm,mmm. even almondjoy will melt

I personally do not treasure flowers. I say me like money, vacations and jewelry/clothes gifts! Besides, I am not the sentimental type. Takes a lot to "mushy" me up. I really do not like junk around my house too. You, on other other hand are just very romantic--which is good and suits your person. You are very norturing--I am errrrrrrrrrrrrrr?-----  -------more business like--in the utility department. What I have must be useful to me. That makes me romantic----- My idea of romance na plenty money and jewelry.  Emotions will flow proper after all that! Not before! I know he loves me---no need to repeat what I already know. This is time to show it and not with flowers please!  Show a partner love or romance the way he or she will appreciate it. Mine does not like flowers either. De nwando--you know them Igbo guys like "pots of soups"!!!  Just make sure one pot of stew and one pot of soup stay constantly on the stove all year round and you will see the romance of your life!

And they will turn around to talk of "flowers"! See the ones who want to give us flowers oh! Chai!  The thing na wah. As I am sitting down here--my kettle is whistling to make eba and okro soup at 10:30PM after this democratic debate. So you know romance is in the air. After the "desert"-- by tomorrow morning I will find a token of "romance" under my pillow to go and do my hair and nails ready for the weekend!  ---then some "chop money" to follow! Flowers ko, flowers ni!

Eba romance! Whatever works my sister. They say there are no rules in real love. Whatever works for Mr Almond If he wants eba,give him eba. roll the balls dip it in his soup and place it romantically on his tongue If that doubles the pocket money.
We woman have to be smart you know. Study the man well well and find his likes. give it to him and he'll become jelly in your bare hands. Men are not that complicated some women are just not smart enough to take time and study them.

Let see, Flowers hmmm. Aint much to write home about, do you know why Naija guys are considered better Lovers xpecially in SA, it because we know how to treat Women right. The average Oyibo will buy you flower and start splitting bills with u the next minute. The average Naija guy is ready to spend fire and keep fulfilling your fantacies (to the best of his ability). Ladies are cherished and after the time n money spent to get one you want it to last at least till you recoop your investment in kind. As for oyibo and flower lovers, how much the thing the cost and what makes u so sure its the ultimate symbol of romance is it just because Oyibo said so? Romance na romance however your people they do am, me I consider flowers a waste, If my girl likes flowers no probs plenty bush dey around but as for spending hard earned dow to buy crap that wont happen. For people that consider our chicks local for not liking Flowers no wahala carry your foreign flower d go leave us with our richarge card and peppersoup. Romance for Naija no easy so u have to be romantic in the naija romantic way. If chick no like you recharge cardoooo, floweroooo, Isi ewuoooo, no go change am but at least while u where knocking its good to have all those time u spend disturbing them readily convertible to cash or equivalent. Flower=romance, flower=romance, how many of those romance don reach fruition, its just that Oyibo chicks are easier to lay the thing no b big deal to them they can go out with 5 guys in a month, if a girls does same in Naija na Ashawo, so the deal is u have to show much more commitment than flowers that way when the thing end at least there will be some consolation prize. Damn have to stop, not writing a thesis
