Nigerian Immigrant in the USA Surprises Wife with Valentine’s Gift: Volkswagen, Her Dream Car!

During the 2024 Valentine’s Day celebration, a Nigerian woman named Aya Wase Ikese received a heartfelt gift from her husband.

The gift, a Volkswagen Beetle, fulfilled a long-held dream for Aya, who had always wished to own one of these iconic cars, affectionately known as ‘ekwe mbe’. Photos of the Beetle quickly went viral on Facebook after Ver Ikese, Aya’s husband who resides in the US, shared them. Ver explained that Aya had expressed her desire for a Volkswagen Beetle since they met, despite the availability of more luxurious options.

Determined to make her dream a reality, Ver spent over a year restoring the Beetle to its former glory. He chose Valentine’s Day as the perfect occasion to surprise Aya with the cherished car.

Aya, expressing her overwhelming joy on Facebook, shared her childhood fantasy of owning a vintage car, particularly a Volkswagen Beetle. She expressed gratitude to her husband, lovingly referred to as Mr. Artist, for understanding the significance of this dream and making it come true.

Meanwhile, another Nigerian lady gained attention on TikTok for her ecstatic reaction to receiving a car and flowers as a Valentine’s surprise. Overwhelmed by the generous gift, she joyfully ran around the grey car adorned with red ribbons, eventually collapsing in happiness, with a bystander lending a helping hand.
