A young Nigerian lady identified on X (formerly Twitter) as @nor_mad_ has openly revealed that her much-celebrated engagement to her photographer fiancé, Eddie Ekwere, has come to an unexpected end. The shocking announcement comes just a few months after their proposal photos went viral, attracting massive attention and admiration from social media users across Nigeria and beyond.
Back in March, the couple became a trending sensation when Eddie’s romantic proposal pictures stormed the internet. Many netizens were quick to admire not just the heartfelt gesture, but also Eddie’s good looks and the seemingly perfect bond the couple shared. The internet was flooded with congratulatory messages, with several users celebrating their love story as one of the most adorable viral engagements of the year.
However, in an unexpected twist that left fans stunned, @nor_mad_ returned to her page months later to post the same proposal photos. But this time, the joyful memories were used to make a completely different announcement — she revealed that the relationship had ended. Her caption was short and direct: “Well e don cast.” This simple but heavy statement instantly sparked mixed emotions and conversations across the platform.
Public service announcement
As reactions poured in from curious followers and online observers who wanted answers, the lady decided to break her silence more fully. She uploaded a short video clip, which she tagged as her “public service announcement,” in an attempt to clarify her status.
In the video, she confidently stated: “So I brought out my phone and my mic to make a public service announcement. The public service announcement is that I am no longer engaged. I am no longer in a relationship. I’m not going to explain why. I just want to be over and done with the whole commenting and everything that has to do with my relationship. I’m now single. That’s literally the announcement I came to make.”
Her calm yet firm tone suggested that she wanted closure without providing further details. Many of her followers, however, felt the announcement raised more questions than answers, leaving space for speculation and debate.
Fans react
OpewilliamsK reacted: “Shouldn’t have made the video if you weren’t going to explain? The online uncles and aunties deserve to know.”
NuJhayhne penned: “Was waiting for the point where you’ll say ‘I’m no longer single, because I’m now married’🥲.”
Alexandaaahh said: “My mind is telling me that the guy left you because of your forehead.”
AimThaMachine_ commented: “I thought this video is to explain why you broke off your engagement & relationship? I guess ‘E Don Cast’ would have sufficed like you wrote before this video… Anyway, I wish you the best if things were on amicable terms sha ooo. Otherwise, gist go soon sup and e go trend.”
imMarvinAgunkwo added: “E sure me say na your bad behaviour make her leave you, because wtf. They engaged you, you posted it, they broke up with you, you also posted it. Just some relationship tip – not everyone likes their business (relationship) to be put out there for anyone with a smartphone and mobile data to see.”
Despite the negative and funny takes, a few followers expressed their support for her, wishing her healing and encouraging her to take her time before moving into another relationship. Many also hinted that the real gist behind the breakup might eventually surface, given the public nature of the story.
