A dispatch rider has expressed disbelief after discovering that a small bouquet of flowers could cost as much as ₦70,000 in Lagos, with larger arrangements selling for ₦100,000. According to the account shared by a narrator, the rider had gone to a florist’s shop to collect a bouquet ordered by a customer when he decided to ask about its price.
The rider questioned why a flower that would eventually wither within a few days would cost so much, particularly when the amount was higher than his monthly salary.
The florist reportedly responded humorously that love comes at a high price.
The rider said he handled the bouquet with extreme care throughout the delivery, moving slowly on the road because he feared damaging an item worth such a huge amount.
He even joked that he would have to use his salary to pay for it if anything happened to the flowers before they reached their destination.
However, upon delivering the bouquet, the female recipient reportedly screamed with excitement, expressing how much she loved the gift.
The experience reportedly left the dispatch rider reflecting on how differently people value money, as what some consider an ordinary romantic gesture could represent an entire month’s living expenses to someone else.
