A public marriage proposal at a Lagos supermarket has gone viral on social media after it took an unexpected and dramatic turn.
In a video widely shared on X, a man is seen kneeling in a busy supermarket aisle, ring in hand, as curious shoppers gather to witness what appeared to be a romantic moment. However, the scene quickly shifted when the woman he proposed to declined the offer and walked away, leaving the man visibly stunned.
Moments later, the situation escalated as the man, in apparent frustration, smashed the woman’s phone—an action that intensified reactions online and fueled further debate.
The incident has since sparked widespread conversations on social media about the pressure of public proposals, consent and personal boundaries, and whether such intimate moments should be staged in public spaces.
The video continues to attract mixed reactions, with some sympathising with the rejected proposer, while others condemned his response and questioned the idea of public proposals altogether.
