A Nigerian woman [/b]has voiced her frustration online after her husband [/b]spent a substantial ₦40,000 on a flower [/b]delivery meant for her, while failing to provide food for her and their children.
The incident has gone viral on TikTok, where the woman was seen ranting in a video as she rejected the flower delivery. The surprise gesture, intended to be a token of love, quickly turned into a source of frustration as the woman pointed out her husband's failure to meet their basic needs.
In the video, the woman's visible anger is evident as she confronts the vendor who brought the flower bouquet to her shop. She expressed her discontent, making it clear that she would not accept the flowers. She even stated that had she known it was a flower delivery, she wouldn't have made herself available to receive it. Instead, she wanted her husband to prioritize more pressing needs.
“I don’t want flowers,” she said, visibly upset. “What about the food for me and the kids? He didn’t buy food or anything. Flowers? For what? Is it semo or rice? He gave you N40,000 to deliver flowers, but he couldn’t use that money to buy rice or foodstuffs for me and the kids?”
The vendor, in response, disclosed that the husband had indeed spent ₦40,000 on the flower delivery. This information only seemed to fuel the woman's frustration further. She rejected the flowers, emphasizing that while her husband could afford to splurge on flowers, he had failed to provide for the family’s essential needs, such as food. She made it clear that this lavish gesture was no substitute for proper caregiving.
The post quickly gained attention across various social media platforms, with many users weighing in on the matter. People shared their thoughts in the comments section, offering differing perspectives on the situation. While some supported the woman’s reaction, others suggested different ways she could have handled the situation. Some criticized the husband for his lack of consideration, while others took a more humorous approach to the story. Here are some of the reactions:
