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.

$20K, ₦400m mansion, other lavish gifts Peller and Jarvis received for wedding

The wedding of TikTok stars Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, and Elizabeth Amadou, better known as Jarvis, was filled with memorable moments. Beyond the glamorous outfits, celebrity guests, and cultural displays, it was the extravagant gifts presented to the newlyweds that became one of the biggest talking points.

Even before the wedding day, gifts had already started pouring in, while several admirers promised to present theirs during the ceremony. Peller’s longtime TikTok supporter, Gregory, kicked off the celebrations with a generous wedding gift of $20,000.

Gregory travelled to Nigeria specifically for the wedding and expressed excitement about being part of the occasion. Speaking during the event, he also revealed his interest in investing in Nigeria. “I can’t relocate, but Peller and Peller are going to work on some investment opportunities in Nigeria. One of the things that I really wanna do is open a school here. Hopefully we can do it; that would be my dream

One of the biggest surprises of the day came from Delta based billionaire Mohammed Ochacho, who presented the couple with a mansion worth ₦400 million in Lifecamp, Abuja.

While announcing the gift, the businessman explained that his children encouraged him to make the presentation. “On behalf of my children, I am presenting a brand new house for you worth ₦400 million in Lifecamp, Abuja.”

The gesture came just days after Peller met Ochacho at music executive Soso Soberekon’s event. During that meeting, the billionaire introduced the content creator to some of his associates and had earlier promised him 10 cows as part of his wedding gifts. Peller later jokingly called him out for not fulfilling that promise before the mansion was eventually unveiled.

In June 2026, Peller proposed to Jarvis during a private beachside ceremony at La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Ghana

Just weeks later, he paid her bride price during a traditional introduction ceremony in Edo State, after which they had a court wedding.

I Want to start acting in Movies – Davido reveals

Davido

Speaking in a recent interview with Vibe Q, the Afrobeat superstar said he has already executive-produced two movies but wants to get more involved in the film industry.

The singer also disclosed that he has shot a documentary, which will be released soon.

“I want to get into movies. I want to start acting soon. I have invested in two movies already as an executive producer. I also have a documentary coming. It is very very big. And yeah, I do want to act at some point in the future,” he said.

Davido noted that music is innovative like technology, adding that artists need to keep evolving and exploring.

“God has blessed me with an amazing career and fans. I wouldn’t ask for another type of career. Music is what I love and music evolves just like technology.

“There’s always a new sound, a new creative idea and a new way to tell your story,” the singer stated.

Speaking on his career so far and his future in a recent episode of The Vibe podcast, the father of six explained that he won’t encourage any of his children to do music is because of his own experience.

He revealed that his second daughter, Hailey Veronica Adeleke, is already leaning towards music and has a good voice but he’s skeptical about supporting her.

“I don’t want any of my children to pursue music. My second daughter [Hailey] is already leaning towards music. She is the life of the party. She behaves just like me. She actually has a good voice.

“But I know what I went through. Can you go through what I go through? Knowing what I have been through, I’m skeptical about encouraging any of my children to do music,” he said.

Davido, however, added, “But because my parents and my family eventually allowed me chase me dreams, I would never want to block any of my children from chasing their dreams. And if they are good, why not?”

My mum is my God, my dad is my God’ — 9ice

Singer 9ice has sparked debate after saying his parents are his “God” and rejecting other deities, months after revealing he has practised as a Babalawo for 18 years.

9ice is once again at the centre of online debate after declaring that his parents, not any deity, occupy the highest spiritual place in his life.

In a video posted to his Instagram on Sunday, the artist said: “Today I’ll tell you something I don’t really talk about, but I’ll talk today. I love my mum, I love my dad, my god is my mum, my father is my god.” He went further in the comments, clarifying that the reverence typically reserved for an unseen God should instead be directed at one’s parents.

The singer didn’t stop there. “I don’t believe in inferior Gods,” he added, distancing himself from the worship of any other spiritual beings and insisting his belief system doesn’t fit neatly into traditional religious structures.

Predictably, the internet had thoughts, and most of them weren’t kind. A large chunk of reactions accused him of being under the influence of something, with many dismissing the statement outright rather than engaging with it.

This isn’t 9ice’s first brush with this kind of controversy, and that’s part of why the latest clip spread as fast as it did. Back in April, he went viral for a different but related rant, this time aimed squarely at Nigeria’s religious culture.

“You’ll leave Nigeria and go to Mecca to go and lick rock all in the name of Kabba,” he said then, arguing that decades of national prayer hadn’t translated into national progress. He compared Nigeria’s work ethic unfavourably to London’s, joking that between church on Sunday, Bible study on Wednesday and vigil on Friday, “when would you work?”

Some Nigerians found merit in his earlier point about productivity versus performative religiosity. Far fewer have extended that same patience to his spiritual claims, with both the Babalawo reveal and now this parental-deity comparison landing mostly as fodder for mockery rather than genuine reflection.
