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 ...

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 ...
