Public Proposal – 5 Things That Could Make It All Go Wrong

Public proposals have become a trend for guys these days. circulating all over the internet are videos and clips of one public proposal or the other. It is exciting to go on one knee and ask the woman you love to marry you. It becomes even more exciting if you can pull that off in public with an audience witnessing the memorable occasion. The surprise in your woman’s eyes, the noise and cheers from the on-lookers, and the general feel of accomplishment are some things that make the whole idea worth the while.

That been said, we cannot deny the fact that not all public proposals end up with a yes. So many guys have been embarrassed for all they are worth and made to look like fools by the partners. That is why we have put together five things that we feel could make a public proposal go wrong.

1. Taking A Lot For Granted

Many guys do not put the effort into planning and preparing for a public proposal. Somehow, they feel it’s an everyday day thing and that things will just happen naturally. But most have been proven wrong with that thought. Our advice: Never leave anything to chance if you are going to do a public proposal – as so much could go wrong. There are critical issues to be put into consideration such as the venue, the audience, the ring, your choice of words, etc. All of this should be considered with your partner’s preference at the back of your mind.

2. Wrong Choice of Proposal Scene

For a public proposal to be perfect, the scenery of the proposal must be given very serious consideration. To put it straight, it must be a perfect choice. If the venue or scene is not appealing, that could fetch you a different answer from what you may have expected. So if a public proposal is your thing, the same attention you give to the choice of the ring should be given to the choice of scenery to pop the question. But, wait, no matter the surprise you want to pull, you cannot be thinking of proposing, in an open market or at a sports game, or are you?

3. Wrong Audience

Next to your choice of scenery would be your choice of audience. The onlookers may affect the answer you would get at the end of the day. We know you are so engrossed with the idea of making her surprised but please also put her into consideration when deciding your the people you invite for the proposal. Mind you that as much as you may be a family man, proposing in front of the family can put pressure on your significant other and I’m sure you do not want to get an answer out of duress.

4. She Swallows The Ring

If you are going to propose in a restaurant or over food, please resist the temptation of putting the ring in her food. This is a proposal style that we have picked up from movies. Because they are movies, they have the leisure of taking several shots – cut after cut – to get rid of the mistakes. And after several cuts and chops, you have a perfectly crafted romantic proposal scene. Unfortunately, you don’t have that luxury and this could easily go wrong. Your partner may swallow the ring and choke (to death). So this style should be a no-no.

5. Unforeseen Circumstances aka “Village People”

In Nigeria, the mention of ‘village people’ is synonymous with circumstances that happen which are beyond our control. While you think of a public proposal, it will be wrong to rule out the fact that things may not go according to your master plan. There are things that could happen that may be unforeseen. You or your partner may not show up at the venue, the ring may go missing, the weather may not be favorable, an angry ex may crash the party, etc. These and many more could be an actual experience on a public proposal date. So you must always have a plan B ready for the call from your village people, because 7 out of 10 times, they always call.

Above listed are 5 things that may go wrong during a public proposal. Our advice is that you keep your proposal private and intimate. Avoid the pressure of a public proposal as it is supposed to be between you and your significant other. But if you must do it, you must look out for the points listed above and put them into consideration.

Davido announces white wedding date with Chioma

Nigerian music superstar Davido has officially revealed plans for a white wedding with his wife, Chioma, which will be held in Miami this August.
During an interview on The Breakfast Club, Davido compared Nigerian marriage customs to those in the United States, noting how family dynamics often play a significant role in African unions.

He said,

Back home, the culture in some households is, for example, that a lot of men grew up with their mum so she’s everything. You know those kinds of households that even if they get married, they can’t leave their mum, she must be in the house. So anything the husband does right or wrong, she’s supporting the husband.

The singer, who previously held a lavish traditional wedding in Nigeria, shared the update while reflecting on cultural differences and the intense public attention surrounding their relationship.

He added,

That’s the mentality in Nigeria: the same thing is for women, they must always support their daughters. Meanwhile, in America, it is just the man and woman who get married. In Nigeria, you never really leave that family. Have you seen a Nigerian wedding?

He went on to recall how his traditional wedding turned into a nationwide celebration and how the white wedding in August 2025 would be a continuation.

I’m having my white wedding in Miami in August. The wedding I did was traditional, it was like a carnival in Nigeria, like a holiday. The whole world stood still. Me and my wife’s relationship was in the public eye, especially after I did that one song. So a lot of things happened. Even apart from losing our child, I messed up a lot of times so that full circle moment everyone was like finally she can get what she deserves.

The 32-year-old Atlanta-born Grammy nominee also added that his wife is the best because she keeps her affairs private.

My wife, you can never see her go to any interview or take a phone to say ‘oh, my husband did this’ or see her go on live — like the normal things. And I appreciate her for that because she could.

The effervescent singer went on to say that no one is perfect, and he would be lying if he said they are.

King Charles Reveals His 17 track Playlist With Davido’s Song Making The Cut

Nigerian five-time Grammy nominee Davido is one of the artists whose songs are on King Charles III’s 17-track playlist, which was recently launched on Apple Music.

Speaking on the song’s inclusion, the King stated that he loves pidgin English while recalling his admirable attempt to make a speech in Nigerian pidgin English when he last visited the West African country.

The hitmaker is the only Nigerian on the list, and he’s joined by late South African music legend Mariam Makeba, whose song ‘The Click Song’ also made the playlist.

‘Kante,’ featuring Fave, is one of the hit songs from Davido’s Grammy-nominated album ‘Timeless,’ released in 2023. The album enjoyed commercial success and set several streaming and charting records.

Speaking on the playlist, the English monarch stated that he wanted to share the songs that have brought him joy.

“I wanted to share with you songs which have brought me joy. They evoke many different styles and many different cultures. But all of them, like the family of Commonwealth nations, in their many different ways, share the same love of life in all its richness and diversity.”

King Charles III, who is the head of the Commonwealth, shared that he hopes listeners enjoy the playlist and perhaps discover new songs through it.

“I can only hope you have enjoyed these few songs I have had time to share with you. Perhaps you have heard some of your own favorite pieces- and perhaps you may have discovered something new.”

King Charles III’s playlist is another interaction between the monarch and Nigerian music as Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage performed at his coronation event in May 2023.

The inclusion of Davido’s ‘Kante’ is a recognition of the global popularity of Nigerian music and the country’s importance to the Commonwealth organization.

Superfoods to Boost Your Immune System

A strong immune system is essential for defending your body against illnesses and infections. While no single food can guarantee immunity, incorporating nutrient-rich superfoods into your diet can help strengthen your body’s natural defenses. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, these superfoods provide the building blocks your immune system needs to function optimally. Here’s a list of top superfoods to include in your diet for an immune system boost.

Citrus Fruits

Citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes are well-known for their high vitamin C content. This powerful antioxidant helps stimulate the production of white blood cells, essential for fighting infections.

How to Include: Add fresh lemon juice to water, and enjoy an orange as a snack.

Yogurt

Yogurt contains probiotics that support gut health, especially varieties with live and active cultures. Since a significant portion of the immune system resides in the gut, maintaining a healthy microbiome is key to overall immunity.

How to Include: Opt for plain, unsweetened yogurt and add honey or fresh fruits for natural sweetness.

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of beta carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. Vitamin A is crucial for maintaining the health of mucous membranes, which act as a barrier to pathogens.

How to Include: Roast sweet potatoes with olive oil and spices, or mash them as a side dish.

Ginger

Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It can help reduce inflammation and combat oxidative stress, which can weaken the immune system. Ginger is also beneficial for soothing sore throats and nausea.

How to Include: Brew fresh ginger tea, add grated ginger to smoothies, or use it in marinades and sauces.

Red Bell Peppers

Red bell peppers contain more vitamin C than most citrus fruits, making them a top choice for immune support. They are also rich in beta-carotene, contributing to healthy skin and mucous membranes.

How to Include: Slice raw peppers for a crunchy snack or roast them for a flavorful dish addition.

Turmeric

This vibrant yellow spice is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, thanks to its active ingredient, curcumin. Turmeric may enhance immune cell activity and help the body fight infections.

How to Include: Stir turmeric into soups, curries, or golden milk lattes for a healthful boost.
