A video that went viral on social media sparked heated debate.
The incident happened during her sign out celebration at Lagos state university, a moment when most students are usually filled with excitement and joy.
The young man, who had been dating her for years, who is said to be a plumber showed up at the venue wearing a ring, as evidenced by the video that was obtained by IG Keys Blog on Saturday. In front of her classmates and other onlookers, he knelt down and asked for her hand in marriage.
Many of those present cheered loudly and encouraged the lady to say “yes,” believing the romantic gesture would end happily. However, she turned down his offer, shocking everyone who was watching. When asked why she made such a decision, the lady explained that she could not marry him because of his profession as a plumber.
What made the situation even more controversial was the revelation that the man had reportedly sponsored her throughout her university education, providing financial support for the past five years.
Since then, social media users' reactions to the video have varied. While some people criticized the lady for being ungrateful after benefiting from his sacrifices, others argued that she had the right to choose a partner she felt was suitable for her.
