A recent NYSC orientation camp became the backdrop for an unexpected proposal attempt that quickly went viral after footage showed a young man kneeling to ask a woman he had only known for five days to marry him.
Sources indicate the couple met during the ongoing NYSC orientation program.
The gentleman, eager to advance their relationship, presented an engagement ring and popped the question in front of fellow corps members.
However, the gesture did not receive the hoped-for response.
Woman overlooks the proposal
In the clip, the man remains on one knee holding the ring while the lady continues her activity, seemingly unaware of his advance.
After several seconds of waiting, she walks away, leaving him still kneeling as onlookers look on.
The video has since spread across social platforms, sparking a lively debate among viewers.
Online reactions
Commentator Lawrence denounced the act, remarking that the woman ought to have rebuked him for trying to embarrass her publicly with a cheap ring, questioning the wisdom of proposing after such a brief acquaintance.
Akinjayeju echoed skepticism, suggesting the man lacked better judgment and needed someone to steer him back to reason.
Lekan shifted focus to the public humiliation, stating that some men embarrass themselves by pursuing women who do not appreciate their worth.
Sharing a personal anecdote, Godwin described how he proposed to his partner in a club setting, emphasizing that genuine love does not involve pressure.
Adewale warned that despite the backlash, some individuals will still seek attention through awkward public gestures, noting that he would not attempt such a stunt with fewer than five spectators.
