In the clip, she stated, “Come o! If you know you want flowers on Valentine’s Day, go and plant it now because with the way some of these men are moving, they want us to chase them. That means we’ll end up buying the flowers ourselves. So plant your flowers now, let them ripen by then, and pluck them to give yourself. Nobody would know. You should not carry last.”
The message has resonated with many social media users who described it as both humorous and relatable.
The woman’s advice highlights a growing conversation about expectations and reciprocity in relationships, particularly on occasions like Valentine’s Day.
The video has since gone viral, sparking debates on romantic gestures, gender roles, and self-love.
While some viewers praised her for empowering women, others questioned the practicality of her approach, noting that relationships often involve mutual effort.
