We’ve all been there. It’s February 2nd, the air in Lagos is starting to smell like an impending romantic pressure, and you decide to do the “responsible” thing. You ask your partner, “Omo, Valentine is coming, what do you want?”
Then comes the most dangerous sentence in the Nigerian English dictionary: “Don’t worry, I don’t really want anything.”
Last year, my cousin Tunde took this literally. He actually believed her. On February 14th, he showed up at her house with a bottle of chilled Malt and a “Happy Val’s” WhatsApp sticker.
The silence that followed was louder than a 10KVA generator. His girlfriend didn’t scream. She didn’t fight. She just looked at the Malt, looked at Tunde, and said, “It’s okay. God will judge us all.” Tunde spent the rest of February eating boiled yam and salt because the “Home Government” had officially gone on strike.
The Truth About “Nothing”
In Nigeria, when a loved one says they want “nothing,” what they actually mean is: “Surprise me with something that shows you actually know my value.” It’s not about the price tag, it’s about the effort. Whether it’s your partner of five years or a best friend who has been your “person” through every Lagos breakfast, everyone deserves to feel special.
Why Flowers are the Ultimate “Safe Bet”
You can’t go wrong with a classic. But we aren’t talking about those plastic flowers sold in traffic. We’re talking about Scented, Lush Red Roses. There’s a specific kind of “levels” that comes with a woman walking into her office or home carrying a premium bouquet from Olavanda Signature. It says:
You planned, you have taste, and you value her more than a bottle of Malt and a sticker.
Don’t be a “Tunde” this year. Valentine’s Day is in less than a week. The slots are filling up, and the “I don’t want anything” trap has already been set. It’s time to play your card before the prices of roses jump higher than the price of fuel.
