A Nigerian woman recently shared her frustration on TikTok after her husband spent N40,000 on a flower delivery to her, while neglecting to provide essential food for her and their children. The incident has sparked a wave of reactions online.
In a viral video, the woman is seen confronting the flower delivery vendor outside her workplace. She openly rejects the flowers, visibly upset. She explained that she would not have made herself available for the delivery had she known it was a flower.
“I don’t want flowers,” she exclaimed, making it clear that her priority was the well-being of her family. “What about food for me and the kids? He didn’t buy any food. Flowers? What are we going to do with flowers? Will the kids eat semo or rice from flowers? He spent N40,000 on flowers but couldn’t buy food or basic supplies for us.”
The delivery vendor confirmed that the husband had paid N40,000 for the flower arrangement, which only seemed to deepen the woman’s frustration. She rejected the flowers outright, pointing out the imbalance between her husband’s extravagant gesture and his failure to provide for the family’s basic needs.
The video quickly went viral, with many social media users offering their own opinions, either in support of the woman’s stance or criticizing her husband’s priorities.
