@ topic: I have no idea if Nigerian girls appreciate flowers, I've never dated any.

_{Will find out soon though.}

Flower ko Thorns ni Na today!
Say wetin. . .untop say gifts don finish abegi

How mean would u be to our girls, flowers grow everywhere jo. . .they can pluck it if need be

c_blow:

fuzek, update your profile to refect your gender so we can know the angle from which u are coming.

but i thought giving flowers to a lady you love was kind of 'romantic' so if the ladies prefer otherwise, what does that leave us with?

almondjoy:

Good morning sweets! You wan kill me with laughter this morning. Never dated a Nigerian babe? Anyway straight to the point-- We prefer CASH!!!!

Pound Sterling to be exact!!!!! Please do not waste your money on flowers darling.

Almond sweetie, you've got a problem with[b] green back? A Benjamin would be most romantic[/b].

walcolm:

@all,

i think the take away from this thread is, don't give your girl friend flowers as a gift , it's not appreciated by naija babes (apologies to any babe who appreciates flowers)

if you are inclined to give flowers, wait till you have committed to a woman (probably in marriage) and there's no doubt in her mind about your ability to give her gifts and for heaven's sake, buy real flowers!!! don't buy all those artificial flowers they sell at gift shops , the value of giving flowers is first the symbolism and second, the fragrance. artificial flowers have no smell so the meaning is lost on a woman

if you must give your girl friend flowers by force, add the flower to the 'gift' to make a single package

I had some flowers delivered to this girl my cousin introduced me to here in the States on her birthday! The funniest thing is that she's this American-wannabe type of naija girl so I thought flowers will mean something to her but was wrong. The next day I got off the plane and with her still at work had her room mate pick me up. We got to the house and guess where the flowers are? the trash can in the batroom! I felt very bad cux it was a wasted effort and money, I wasted my time calling different flower shop to schedule Sunday delivery and yet it all went in the trash! so guys if you ask me I'll say most of our naija sisters don't value it and please and please don't even bother to buy flowers if you don't know anything about flowers! sending or giving the wrong flowers or colour is like sending a Congratulations card to someone that lost a loved one!

Lmfao .

Btw, how much did it cost for both the delivery and flower

@fuzek

Don't you know some Naija guys are joker , flower ko flower ni

kojeiwa:

I can see some girls here are really local.  I feel buying a flower to a girl  is just simply romantic and it show you really

  love them or feel for them. A guy that can afford to buy you a flower,  can also afford to buy you a gift too.
 
  A cheap guy wouln't even buy you a flower.

What does been local have to do with flowers , gosh don't understand what kind of mentality some of this Naija guys have , lol so have you thought of giving a flower to a girl when you were in Naija, abi isn't when they gave you a free visa to the US that you realized flower = Romance.

Lmfao village boy like you have the audacity to call the ladies local
