A viral video has captured a dramatic moment at a Nigerian university where a young lady rejected her boyfriend’s marriage proposal on her sign-out day, despite his years of support and sponsorship of her education.
The man, who revealed he had funded her schooling from first year until graduation, described her as the “desire of his heart” and staged a surprise engagement on campus. In the clip, he knelt down before her with a ring, as students cheered loudly and urged her to accept with chants of “Say yes! Say yes!”
But the celebration quickly turned sour. After a moment of hesitation, the lady asked him to stand up and declined the proposal. Overcome with emotion, she confessed she could not marry him because she was already pregnant for another man.
The shocking revelation stunned onlookers and has since sparked heated reactions across social media.
Public Reactions
@Shakespeare: “My guy spent years being ATM and Uber, only to get hit with ‘I’m pregnant for another man’ on her graduation day. You basically sponsored another man’s child.”
@MaziUche: “So people still sponsor women to school with the hope of marriage? Marry her first, give her belle before she enter campus.”
@Honormeh: “Dear men, stop sponsoring women you haven’t married. You’re not her parent. Let her find her path.”
@Tirquiose: “Painful, but support is not ownership. Love is not a down payment on loyalty. Hard lesson, but necessary.”
The incident has triggered debates on love, loyalty, and whether men should fund women’s education in expectation of marriage.
