A young Nigerian mechanic has been left devastated after a woman he sponsored through university for five years publicly rejected his marriage proposal.

Eyewitnesses said the man, who had sacrificed his earnings to pay her fees and rent, knelt to propose but was told to “stop embarrassing her.” The lady insisted that financial sponsorship did not guarantee marriage.

Reports suggest the man spent nearly ₦20 million over the years to ensure she graduated. His hopes of building a future with her were dashed in public view.

Public Reaction:
The incident has sparked debate on social media about love, sacrifice, and expectations in relationships. Many sympathized with the man, while others argued that sponsorship should not be tied to marital obligation.

Moral Lesson:
Some netizens noted that investing such an amount in business — for instance, purchasing tricycles (“keke”) worth about ₦4 million each — could have yielded him financial security and peace of mind.
