A dramatic scene unfolded after a man collected his car key following his girlfriend’s rejection of his public marriage proposal.
In a viral video trending on X (formerly Twitter), the man could be seen kneeling in front of the car, ring in hand, while the lady stood holding the car key.
Many had expected the romantic gesture to end in a “yes.”
After inspecting the car, she eventually said no. The man then stood up, walked over, and dragged the key from her hands, reclaiming it in front of shocked bystanders.
Witnesses reportedly watched in both shock and amusement as the unexpected turn of events played out in public.
The incident has since sparked debate online, with many Nigerians questioning whether the man was justified in taking back the key or if the public rejection itself was already enough embarrassment.
Many mixed reactions have followed. A commentator wrote, “She said no, he collected the car. Case closed.” Another added, “Maybe next time he should check before kneeling.”
The video of the moment has been circulating on social media, leaving many calling it Valentine’s Day drama of the year.
