The man and his girl lover

A Nigerian man turned violent after his lover rejected a marriage proposal in public.

The guy is seen in the viral video asking: “why won’t you marry me?”

“I said I don’t want to marry you,” the lady responded.

“How can you tell me no, no for what?” The guy, who had been on his knee got physical. He pushed the lady to the ground and took off her wig.

Onlookers intervened and asked him to calm down.

In a subsequent Tweet, however, @IamErujeje who posted the video, posted a followup where the duo say the scene was just a prank.

“I am not a woman beater,” he said.
