Valentine’s
Day is just a couple of days away, and even though Nigeria’s
presidential election will be taking place on same day, that shouldn't mean you
and your special “One” can still hangout and have a great time after voting.
In fact, you could just postpone your own Lovers’ Day to the
next day (Sunday). Not a bad idea, right?
In my opinion, chocolates, perfumes, flowers and bottles of
red wine are so cliché are sort of un-Nigerian. Seriously, which Nigerian girl
will HONESTLY appreciate a bunch of flowers?
Although over the years, we all have grown accustomed to
exchanging certain kinds of gifts (a custome we copied from Oyinbo people).
Hmmmm if you want to make your girlfriend
love you more this Valentine’s Day and beyond, try giving her any of these 5
gifts listed here:
Gadgets
Gadgets? Oh Yes, believe it or not, Nigerian girls are very
tech savvy and surely love gadgets. An average babe owns a smartphone, an iPad,
Tablet and even laptops.
You can imagine how happy you would make your girl by
gifting her with a swanky new Android device or better still, the wave-making iPhone
6 (as your money reach o).
This is one tangible gift she is going to cherish for a very
long time. Trust me, this one beats even the most expensive box of chocolates
any day, any time!
Makeup Kit/Set:
Yes, they love makeup! Seven out of ten Nigerian girls owns
at least a lip gloss and an eye pencil. It would be a pleasant surprise if you
give your girlfriend a new designer makeup set or kit.
How would you know her favourite brand? Simple. You can take
a peek into her purse whenever she comes around or simply ask her casually so
she doesn’t suspect what you’re up to.
Another thing is! What
if your girlfriend isn’t a makeup kind of girl? You can then buy her a
lovely designer perfume which she would definitely appreciate. Mind you, it’s
not about the price but the intention behind it. But that does not mean you
should go and buy her Aboki perfume o! (Apologies
to my Aboki pals). Just be creative!
Jewelry:
This is not new to you, you’ve heard this a million times –
‘Diamonds are a girl’s best friend,’ and that is so true. But what if you don’t
earn enough pay to afford a diamond jewelry? Improvise!
There are other affordable pieces of jewelry you can still
buy for her. Fortunately, gold and silver come in different grades, so choose
the one that your pocket can handle. If your girl truly loves you, she will
appreciate it. If she’s the type that likes beads and costume trinkets, lucky
you! Those ones are available almost everywhere, in different designs, and they
are easy on the wallet too. Did you just smile?
Hair Products/Extensions:
If by now you don’t know that Nigerian girls cherish their
hair, then it means you don’t know anything about them at all! They LOVE our
hair. Need I say more? Nigerian ladies invest heavily on human hair (Brazilian,
Indian, Peruvian and Asian weaves), and other hair extensions for their braids.
So study your girl and find out her favourite mane. Yes,
these hairs don’t come cheap but if she can afford them… so can you. Abi na lie?
If she’s a natural hair queen, buy her some really nice organic shampoo and
hair cream/treatments to keep her rich African hair glowing and bouncy!
Date Night:
Like I mentioned in the first paragraph, after the elections
on February 14, the evening is free for you to hangout and chill. Take her to
any nice restaurant, or better still, you could have a date night in. Be a
gentleman and treat her to romantic meal prepared by YOU!
Honestly, she’s not going to forget this in a very long
time. A stroll down to your favourite evening spot in the neighbourhood equally
works fine if she’s okay with it.
Remember, it’s a day
to express your love for each other, and not a time to outdo yourselves in an
attempt to impress. So go on and have a great time together.
Note: Life na jeje, Do as you power reach o, no kill youself by yourself
