A dramatic relationship saga has taken a new turn as the man who refused to kneel while proposing to his girlfriend has finally succeeded in retrieving the car he bought for her after she rejected his marriage proposal.
The incident first came to public attention a few days ago when a viral video surfaced online showing the young man proposing to his girlfriend in front of an audience. However, the lady turned down the proposal on the spot, insisting that she could not accept because he failed to kneel while asking for her hand in marriage. The moment generated heated reactions across social media, with many debating whether kneeling should be a mandatory part of proposals.
Following her rejection, the drama escalated further when it was revealed that the man had previously gifted his girlfriend a car. Angered by the refusal, he attempted twice to take back the vehicle but was unsuccessful, sparking even more controversy and online debates about gifts, relationships, and entitlement.
In a fresh twist, a new video now circulating on social media shows that he has finally managed to collect the car from her. The viral clip captures a tense confrontation between the man, the lady, and several bystanders. Heated words were exchanged as the lady pleaded with him to allow her to remove her personal belongings from the vehicle before he drove it away. However, her request was firmly denied, which only worsened the situation.
Frustrated and visibly upset, the lady lashed out, threatening to damage the car and warning the man that he would regret ever taking it back. On his part, the man stood his ground, cautioning her sternly never to approach or touch the car again. He further mocked her during the argument, saying she had “no sense” for reacting in such a manner.
The video has sparked yet another wave of online reactions, with Nigerians expressing mixed opinions on the unfolding drama. While some criticized the man for taking back the gift, others praised him for reclaiming what was rightfully his.
Reactions to the video
Gaseous wrote: “I hate these situations where someone gives someone something and maybe because there’s a misunderstanding between them, he/she collects what’s been given. That’s irrational. If you know you can’t let go of something, why give it in the first place?”
Mr_DaveChigozie commented: “Congratulations to him and I hope young Men learn that you don’t use MONEY to buy a woman’s loyalty. MONEY doesn’t keep her loyal and she can still disrespect you even after spending millions on her.”
Abviok_solana weighed in: “Finally, now let peace reign. Since he has his car, everyone should just go their separate ways… No more dramas.”
JanisOmorogbe wrote: “He saw all the red flags before but chose to ignore them all. A senseless woman is worse than cancer.”
Iam_Okusodili added: “Just because he refused to kneel and propose to you, you refused to accept… Abeg, talk another thing… It’s obvious she doesn’t want to marry him and I like the idea he took his car.”
As the saga trends online, it has reignited discussions about cultural expectations in relationships, the symbolic meaning of kneeling during proposals, and whether men should ever reclaim expensive gifts after a breakup.
