 people welcome. This is Unfinished the only place so we get to finish and finish matters. I am your host Eske Gitonga. Thank you for joining. So we are in the love month and we are approaching that special day today to know your history and I'm a painsy Valentine's and you know how we do it. And our first question of today is what do you expect from your partner this Valentine's? Let me know what you think in the comment section. It's 1-5-4 and finished. I have no much to expect this Valentine's yeah because you know the economy right now it's taking us on a very high note and mine is just to appreciate appreciate you be your loved ones no matter what they bring I just appreciate yes many people may expect to be brought flowers and so on to be taken out yeah there's so many different ways of being appreciated apart from being brought flowers there's so many things to be appreciative of just being alive is also a way of being appreciative and these Valentine's if you're taking out you appreciate if you're brought flowers you appreciate if you are with your partner there and you are not able to go out you also appreciate because you're both alive and we do not take it for a granted yes from my partner I don't have much expectations because my boyfriend is not in the country so I don't have any expectations but for my friends I have gifts for them my expectation this Valentine's is to have quality times with my loved ones totally nothing I'll say let's spread the love I think that's the main team of everything about Valentine's I'm expecting nothing from her because we haven't been in good terms for a long time so I'm expecting nothing of course yeah yeah sure sure you know that is it someone actually I'm expecting a lot because also she's expect expecting from me first of all me on my end I'm a partner but I'm not expecting anything because depending on how the economy is it's a see-through message January so the economy go to collect a mood card January but the two cargo so I don't have much expectations even from others I don't see I don't find it like it's a big donger like in other days look up at a Valentine in Anna the end of John people are so happy the flowers and all that says you there's no that mood in the air but I guess maybe it's a surprise I don't know my expectations are low always zero I'm a within him on to come out yet a copenda this a boy in Nairobi do not do it to feel a cocoon in Nairobi my friends a cup of tango my friends a laptop and I'm Zazi for my perception he will enter in a kind of comment of course some are different because right now I'm talking on the lady's side okay my name squeeze them as I appreciate the fact that yeah there are guys that who are really true love and they tend to believe that this they tend to exist so he Valentine expect okay madam what happened put it was a man when you want to open that genuinely yeah to me is not very important Valentine or any other date is nothing special I don't believe so much in set days you know even my birthday I don't really care I know if I want to give you a present I can do it anytime you know there's enough to be on one special day a lot of love and food and just sense of bonding at that point because I feel like it's a place where you can reflect on your year and what you've done together personally I want to experience everything that's experienced on Valentine's I want to be a baby girl I want to be taken out on a date of course I want to have new outfits some gifts you know and by the way if your girl does not buy you flowers Chuck just step now if your month does not buy you flowers we are check because explain to me why someone is not going to afford 200 flowers if you have like 20 pieces of this kind of roses that's 400 a man who cannot afford to pay 400 once in a year for you the bare minimum girl what are you doing so yes in case you feel like you want to spoil me during Valentine's DM me we can talk about it what do you think is the importance of Valentine's and do you think it's actually in line with culture let me know what you think in the comment section Valentine for me it's we embrace love that we have for our partners so it's such an important day for us to show our loved ones that we love them and for them to show us that that they love us too yeah I think it's more western I don't think it's an African thing we've just brought we've never done like the history of the whole thing just because you know amazing I think it's out of context to African settings flowers and bouquets and gifts at the moment no I end the friends person miss him so what I love my I love my own cycle so unless someone comes from out of nowhere but I'm expecting to stir up love I think that is it yeah that is the importance of Valentine's and to just embrace each other and love each other yeah because it is called a month of love that is why it is just there to embrace it and to to build it yeah man's love Valentine okay to those who like have someone special to them me no no it's a day I'm not celebrating him like allowed to do whatever you guys want to do go out on dates buy her flowers to come in if you guys or so I see it's a day for lovers and it's important to people who love each other for couples young couples people who are cutting it's an important thing to show love to a person okay to a loved ones yeah so even me I don't know I don't know if my lover is planning for me anything but as for now I have no expectations not really at least you know but that I'm coming about friends and family no again you know in Kenya like five years ago nobody knew about Valentine like even in my own country is not so important I think it's like Christmas like anything is just to sell more goods you know more chocolate more things so but you know the funny thing in many countries the boy has to give a present to the girl like some countries like Japan the girl she has to give something to the the boy the importance of celebrating this Valentine celebration is just you know acknowledge the love that let's say for example a couple has for each other appreciate because of the of late to love does not really exist I just feel it's one of those holidays that are there that you just have just to celebrate with your partner but every day is a Valentine to be honest because I don't need a date to buy my my one person a bouquet of roses chocolate can do that even right now so for me it's just a sense of it's one of those days you know just yeah that's what I would say about it this is a time for people to bond it doesn't have to be necessarily partners it could be friends it could be family we know we have Valentine's for girls we have Valentine's for partners it could be a time for you to just bond catch up on the ears maybe build bunch bridges because who knows just make sure that this Valentine is gonna do something impactful something that's gonna feel fulfilling let's take a short break we'll be back with two more questions
