As usual, it wouldn’t be the perfect Valentine’s say in Kenya without a few dramatic acts and gestures.
From the apparent #Men’sConference that took place, to the gifting of loved ones through Tuskys and Afrika Sokoni, Valentine’s was more than a festivity in itself here in Kenya.
But all does no usually go well especially if a Valentine Celebration has been planned, and therefore we find ways to make the best out of a bad situation.
Valentine’s is a day that many approach with joy and mirth, while others see it as a waste of time. A couple in Nairobi clearly believed the myth of the day and decided to celebrate it.
In a viral video, the couple is seen arguing after the gentleman comes late for the date. The visibly pissed woman is heard talking at the man and gesturing widely as he desperately tries to keep her calm.
The young lady who had dressed up for her Valentine’s date refuses to be comforted. She even tells the man that she had many other date offers and the guy shouldn’t be ‘mistreating’ her. The man is then seen giving her the flowers he had bought.
If the man thought that that would have calmed her down, it didn’t. In fact, it had the opposite effect as the lady grabbed the flowers, threw them and then proceeded to stomp on them.
She then leaves. The visibly hurt man looks at her receding presence as she storms off. The unashamed man then calmly picks up the flowers and tries to salvage the moment by trying to restore the flowers to their former glory.
Unfortunately, this heinous behavior is not uncommon from women in this day and generation where love has been replaced by sponsor culture. Sad.
