Video of public proposal raises eyebrows
A video of a Nigerian man proposing to his girlfriend in public has sparked a heated debate online. While the man was clearly excited and fully dressed in traditional attire, many viewers noticed that the lady’s reaction didn’t match his energy.
In the clip, the man is seen on one knee, holding out a ring as he proposes. The woman, dressed in a shiny green dress, appeared surprised and somewhat uncomfortable. She smiled but didn’t show the kind of excitement many expect during a proposal.
“Let the couple have their moment,” says one user
Reactions came flooding in shortly after the video went viral. Instagram user @okrikaplanet complained, “This is why I don’t like public engagements. Which one is ‘say yes, say yes’ in the background? Allow the couple have their moments kwanu.”
Another user, @nosamanel, reminded men to follow the full tradition of a proposal. “Guys please don’t always forget to ask the question WILL YOU MARRY ME? It goes beyond just kneeling down with a ring.”
Was she just shocked — or totally uninterested?
Popular social media user @sashatobz1 defended the lady, writing, “Wow she was too shocked. She didn’t know how to react… I see a lady who loves her man, she said stand up! Igbo men don’t kneel, I guess she just doesn’t want him to kneel.”
But not everyone bought that explanation. @techdjkella bluntly said, “She does not like this man. If you see it, you see it. She’s his trophy wife.” That comment alone received over 1,200 likes.
Another comment by @tejjii read, “The plan was to eat his money and leave but Mazi had other plans,” with a laughing emoji.
Some accused the man of “forcing” the moment
More critics pointed out that the lady wasn’t fully into it. “He’s even forcing you to hug him,” wrote @frankieposh._ while @oil_and_gas5 asked, “Una sure say this lady ready so?? Just asking respectfully.”
Meanwhile, @skyldegreat1 joked, “Omo, just get money, these people no get speck.” Others even wondered if the man in the video was a certain Brother Maxwell who previously complained about tough times.
Internet remains divided over awkward proposal
While some believe the lady was simply caught off guard and acted out of shock, others insist her body language said a lot more.
The viral moment has now become a hot topic, highlighting how tricky public proposals can be — especially when the response isn’t what people expect.
