A Nigerian man, simply identified as Mike, has raised the bar for men after he proposed to his girlfriend with seven engagement rings.

A video currently making the rounds online captured the moment the young man popped the big question to his lover and presented her with seven rings to choose from.

The lady was leading the church in praise and worship when Mike quietly walked up behind her, holding a box containing all the rings.

The girlfriend, who was unaware of what was happening, kept singing enthusiastically as her boyfriend went on one knee.

She saw through a big screen in front of her that her man was kneeling behind her; she then turned and saw him holding a variety of rings as he asked her to marry him.

The lady was completely speechless by the gesture and just covered her face shyly while beaming with a smile.

She later made her choice from the rings, and her partner lovingly slid it on her finger.

Ashraf speaks

Ashraf Sanusi, one of the sons of the former Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, has advised couples against cohabiting before marriage.

Ashraf, in a post shared via his Instagram page, said cohabiting with one’s partner will adversely affect their marriage and lead to divorce.

Using a research study to back his claim, Ashraf stated that couples who live together before marriage have a higher chance of getting divorced.

According to him, couples should desist from cohabiting before tying the knot if they want their marriage to last.

He wrote,

“Living with your girlfriend/ boyfriend before marriage increases the chances of divorce by 1.3x
In another study 18% of those that do, get divorced compared to the 10% of those who only started living together after marriage.
So if you really want to get married for a long time, don’t live with your boyfriend/ girlfriend, only your husband/ wife.
Don’t listen to these woke children that’ll tell you “how will I know if they’re the right person”
Most of the people that say this have literally never been married.”

Cynthia revealed that she ignored her gift until she was 25, and that was when she realized she was going nowhere.

In her words;

“I WAS BORN A PROPHET. BUT WAS BORN INTO A JEHOVAH WITNESS HOME. AND THEIR BELIEVE IS THAT JESUS WAS THE LAST PROPHET SO THEY DON’T BELIEVE THERE WILL BE PROPHETS TILL THE 2ND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST. THIS WAS ALSO MY BELIEVE AT THE TIME. SO I KEPT MY GIFT TO MYSELF. ONLY MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY KNEW ABOUT IT.
AT 16 I WENT INTO MUSIC THINKING MY GIFT OF PROPHECY WAS A FLUKE THINKING IT WILL STOP. AT 25 I REALIZED IT WASN’T GOING ANYWHERE. I STRUGGLED WITH GOD BEGGING HIM I HAD TO WIN A GRAMMY BEFORE I ACCEPT MY CALLING PROPER.
SO FAR I HAVE REALIZED I AM WASTING MY TIME. THIS IS ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS I WITHDREW FROM THE PUBLIC EYE.”

The driver of the Lagos State Government staff bus that collided with a moving train in the Ikeja area of the state on Thursday has appealed to the victims of the accident to forgive him.

This comes after one of the survivors of the accident, simply identified as Titilayo, while recounting the events leading up to the collision in a chat with newsmen, said that they begged the bus driver to wait for the train to pass, but he refused.

Another survivor said the 44-year-old driver, Oluwaseun Osinbajo, had his earpiece on while driving and ignored the directive of the flag officers at the rail line.

According to new reports, while no fewer than seven people have been confirmed dead and others who sustained injuries in the crash are currently receiving treatment at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, the erring driver has been transferred to the State Criminal Intelligence and Investigations Department.

Sharing his side of what transpired on that fateful day, the driver, who works with the Lagos State Ministry of Transport, blamed the incident on a mechanical fault in the bus.

“It was not my fault. How could I have ignored warning signs? The bus had a mechanical fault. It is a pity this has happened. I beg everyone affected to please forgive me in the name of God.” The Vanguard newspaper quoted him as saying.

“I’ve tried both…I was born into one but got converted into the other one. There’s more unity in Islam than Christianity.

Nurse tearfully calls

A Nigerian nurse has taken to social media to call out the Ondo state government for owing intern nurses in the state eight months’ salary.

In a video shared online, the nurse tearfully pleaded with the state government to pay them their hard-earned money because they worked for it.

She said she is completely broke right now and doesn’t know how to beg people for money, hence her decision to publicly call out the government.

She claimed that whenever they refused to work to protest against the government, the hospital management always threatened to terminate their contract.

According to her, she is tired of the situation and wants the government to pay the accrued salary.

In her words:

“Please pay our money. You people will come out and say voice out. Please I am broke now. I am begging you on my own right, pay all the 46 intern nurses you are owing, we are tired.

“We are tired, we don’t know what else to do, you people actually know that we worked. You’ve seen every evidence. So What else do you want?

“For me to come outside and say this, you guys should see my face please I’m not going to call names. But please if you know you have conscience, pay us our money because I cannot ask guys for money, don’t push us to the wall.

“Please pay our money, 8 months salary. How will you be owing a nurse for 8 months? For those of you who will come to blame us asking why we didn’t stop working, it’s not easy they threatened to terminate our contracts, and if we go to a different place we will have to start all over again to make it a year.”

He then assaulted her in front of friends who were pleading with him to stop after she defended herself by claiming it was contribution money.

The video stirred reactions from netizens who expressed outrage at the man’s action and believed the lady was too dependent.

Reacting to the video, Olamide wrote; “A man must have known you are jobless and heavily dependent on him for him to be thinking someone gave you a phone you bought yourself. If you always practice self sufficiency in togetherness, no one will ask you nonsense question whenever you get yourself a new stuff.”

Another user wrote; “I believe the guy has been paying most of her bills doing every little thing for her that’s why he’s so sure she can’t afford it……as a lady it’s good when you take from your guys ooo but sometimes just make sure you have something doing let your guy know you can afford some kind of things too… just to avoid something like this”
