A new video currently going viral online shows the shocking moment a lady proposed to a guy in the eyes of the public and he blatantly rejected her proposal. It certainly is quite unusual for a lady to be the one to propose but looking at recent events on social media, it’s becoming a norm for ladies to pop the question and deal with the aftermath. This lady most definitely met the shock of her life when she took to the streets to propose to her guy, only for her to be turned down by him in the presence of strangers. Relentless and not accepting no as an answer, the lady is seen seriously begging the guy, as she holds on to his leg with one hand and the ring with another. Passersby and onlookers are also seen staring in awe at the situation while some of them confront the gentleman to ask that he stops embarrassing the lady and just take the ring from her. Another person can be heard, saying “you don f*ck am finish, you no wan marry am abi?” . Watch ...

– Several people have been reported killed while scores are injured following a train crash in Bavaria
– Authorities say two trains collided head on
Emerging reports suggest that nine people have been killed in the southern German state of Bavaria following an early morning train crash.
Rescue operations ongoing at the site of the crash in Germany
The Washington Post reports that two trains were involved in the crash near Bad Aibling in Bavaria.
It was not immediately clear how many people were injured, but a spokeswoman for police in Upper Bavaria confirmed to German news agency DPA that there were deaths.
DPA reported that one train derailed in the crash on Tuesday morning, and several wagons overturned.
It said eight rescue helicopters were standing on a lawn near the entrance to the town of Bad Aibling and further rescue staff were on the way to the scene of the crash.
Wreckage of the collision
Police spokesman Stefan Sonntag has confirmed that trains on a single track between Rosenheim and Holzkirchen collided just before 7am local time.
Mr Sonntag said the scene of the accident is so chaotic, there are no specific details of the number of dead or injured.
However, police at the scene have confirmed that the number of people “very seriously” injured has risen to 15, while the death toll has risen from an initial report of 4 to 9 people killed.
Bernd Rosenbach, managing director of Bayerische Oberlandbahn which operates Meridian trains, told reporters: “The accident is a huge shock for us. We are doing everything we can to help the travellers, relatives and workers.”
Technical manager Fabian Amini added:“Our thanks go to the emergency services and workers who gave their help so quickly.”
The BBC reports that although the trains were carrying commuters, local carnival holidays meant no schoolchildren were on board.
The scene of the crash is close to the Mangfall river in a hilly and densely wooded region. Casualties were being evacuated by boat and by helicopter.
Several hundred emergency services personnel were at the scene and rescue teams from nearby Austria were also helping, local media said.
By midday, police said all casualties had been removed from the wreckage; however, some reports suggests that two people are still missing.
The German transport minister, Alexander Dobrint, commended the rescue operations, and he also noted that it would be too early to speculate as to the cause of the crash.
Dobrint said the two passenger trains that crashed in Bavaria were on a curve and it appears that neither had time to brake before they hit head-on.
While noting that the stretch was fitted with a safety system designed to automatically stop trains to prevent such a crash, he said: “It’s not clear why it didn’t function, we have to assume that the train drivers had no visual contact and hit each other without braking.”
He added that there are three brain-boxes that need to be recovered to be certain of what went wrong.
The minister said that two of the brain-boxes in question had been recovered, while the search for the third remains ongoing.

File Photo In the United States of America the term “third party” stands for any other party besides the two traditional parties in that country. From almost inception in 1790, the USA has been ruled by either the Democratic Party or Republican Party. Very few Nigerians know that there are over a hundred other parties on whose platforms people run for elections in America. Yet the American society appears to have only two parties in each election year. There have been few occasions where people contesting on the platforms of third parties have won elections to legislative houses in America. But no one has ever contested as a “third party” presidential candidate in the USA and won. It is not that they do not try, they just do not win. Nigeria is fast becoming a similar two party state. Since the return to democratic rule in 1999, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) led the country for sixteen years. Nigerians got tired of their high handedness and booted them out of office in ...
