A viral video has recently emerged online, capturing an uncomfortable and dramatic moment when a Nigerian man rejected his fiancée’s proposal at a restaurant. The incident, which has been widely shared on social media platforms, showcases the man in the process of ordering food and engaging in conversation with the vendor, unaware of the woman kneeling beside him with a ring in hand. The man appeared oblivious to the moment his fiancée was proposing, which only became apparent to him when he turned to face her.
Upon noticing his fiancée’s gesture, the man’s reaction was one of shock and outrage. He immediately walked out of the restaurant, leaving the woman kneeling and visibly distressed. The fiancée, still on her knees, chased after him, pleading with him as she ran to catch up. This unexpected and intense scenario has led to a heated discussion among netizens, with many offering their opinions on the matter, questioning the audacity of public proposals and the emotional impact of rejection.
Check out some reactions below…
Semiu Olalekan remarked, “That’s not normal how can a lady propose to a man and still bold enough to do that in public. 99% of real men will definitely reject that, it isn’t normality.”
Theresa Obioma stated, “Why the proposal, why didn’t you allow the guy to do the proposal by himself?”
Addy Pretty wrote, “Too bad. He would’ve saved her the shame by accepting in public and declining in private. Then again, why was the lady so confident that he’d accept her proposal, thereby making it a public show?”
Rukaya Yakubu added, “No matter how they try to persuade you, never listen to this kind of advice as a woman. You can ask a man out, but public proposals to a man have a much higher rate of rejection. Is it you who will do the wedding?”
The video has since sparked a larger debate about gender roles, societal expectations, and the dynamics of relationships, especially when it comes to traditional norms surrounding marriage proposals. Viewers have shared differing opinions, with some supporting the woman's bold move and others arguing that the man’s rejection was justified given the context of public proposals.
