Isha dear, I want a Virtual Valentine date :joy:

I want for Valentine; A Toyota Car 2016 model

A Macbook

An Iphone 12

A Samsung A51

Yea, that should do. Chocolates, Danish cookies and roses won’t be a bad idea too.

So, all your commenters that want to show love to businesses in Nigeria, can channel all the gifts to me using Maps.

Isha, what do you think, don’t laugh o :yum: @Globe_trotter_Ish

Lol! Okay will sure give you the gist.

Now, do you know the latest “Flower bouquets” given in Nigeria is a “Money bouquet” or a “money tower” :smiley:

There are companies who do that too “help surprise your loved one”, they package the gifts, get a band and give a wow surprise! Find a way to get on Nigeria’s Instagram or Twitter on Val’s day, you will have a field day. :joy: @Globe_trotter_Ish
