Nine (9) worst places to propose to your partner in Nigeria

1. Don’t Propose at Someone Else’s Wedding

One of the worst places to propose to your partner is at someone else’s wedding. It’s just like seizing someone else’s moment to shine and it’s just not cool. The act can be considered to be awkward by the other guests at the wedding who might not know what’s going on. In Nigeria especially, it’s morally right to seek the approval of the groom and bride before taking such a step.

2. Don’t Propose at Someone Else’s Birthday

Just like proposing in someone else’s wedding, it’s also so gross to propose in another person’s birthday party. If you must, then, kindly get inform the celebrant on time to get approval. But even after getting approval, it’s still advisable to consider other ways to do that without making the it look embarrassing and awkward. 

3. Another Person’s Engagement

Proposing in someone else’s engagement party is among the worst places to propose in Nigeria. Just recently, there was a “proposal gone wrong” that trended on social media. Stealing someone’s thunder for me is unacceptable and removes the fun that comes from proposing. Why on earth can someone think of proposing in another’s engagement party out of nowhere? The act is wrong and shouldn’t be, so as to avoid embarrassment.

4. Don’t Propose at a Burial

It is so shocking to think about such, and not in a good way. But it will surprise you that lots of people have done it, while some are still considering it. Some propose to their partners at a burial hoping it will to some extent serve as a level of comfort. The intention might be good but the timing is bad. Hence, one needs to think in through so as to avoid having an awkward moment or embarrassment.    

5. Don’t Propose During Church Service

Another worst place to propose to your partner in Nigeria is during church services. Nigeria is a high spiritual country and it’s bad to propose in the church especially during chhurch server/Mass. As, not only will it be a distraction to the worshipers in the wrong way. But you might end up having serious issues with the pastor. If you must propose in the church, then it’s good to inform the pastor ahead of time. And probably get an insight on how to go about it without stepping on toes.  

6. Don’t Propose on a highway

Among the worst places to propose is on a high way. It baffles me most times the thoughts that runs through people’s mind. Especially when they are searching for the best place to propose to their partner. A friend of mine was telling me about his plans to propose to his lady on the high way probably occupying one lane. My response was in question form, as I asked him, if it’s a proposal or a suicide attempt?

Using one lane on a highway in Nigeria to propose is a “No-No” for me. It’s clearly a risk of one’s precious life. As there is a high possibility that an oncoming vehicle can easily clear both you and your partner off the road. To be safe, please don’t propose on a highway especially in Nigeria.

7. Proposing to your partner on the beach sand

One of the worst places to propose to your partner is on the beach, especially in sandy beach soil is not ideal. Imagine when the supposed (diamond) engagement ring falls in the beach soil and you have to start digging around to find it, It’s really not cool. For Christ sake, it’s an engagement ring and not a beach ball. And let also consider the case of it falling close to the seawater and being carried away by it. Either way, it’s really not cool.

8. In public places

 Proposing in a public place is more or less a two-way thing. It’s however advisable that you study to understand your partner in order to know her likes and dislikes. Some partners like publicity and wouldn’t mind if been proposed to in public places. While others would probably prefer to be proposed to in a quiet and non-public place. So take time and understand your partner before proposing to her in the public places and embarrassing yourself or your partner.

9. Proposing at Family Event

Proposing in a family party might seem like a good and wonderful idea, but it’s surely not. Especially for people that hate “NO” for an answer, or probably dislikes embarrassments. Proposing in a family party for everyone to see indeed seems romantic, but undoubtedly just sleazy.

However, there are obviously two possible outcomes to that effect. Either she says yes and all the family members present gives you hug, congratulates you, and possibly celebrates with you too. Or she says no, and all the family members there will witness it, and that can be very embarrassing.

Conclusion

Knowing the worst places to propose to your partner in Nigeria or any other place and avoiding them is a step in a positive direction. As it will save you the stresses of losing the ring, experiencing awkward moments, embarrassments among others. Hence, a well-planned proposal will not only ensure the avoidance of the over listed stresses. But will also serve as a guide to getting the expected answer (A Big YES).
