Two Male Corp Members Propose to Their Female Colleagues:
1. Corps Member Proposes at POP in Oyo State
A video circulated online showing a corps member named Balogun Babatunde Temidayo bending down and proposing to his girlfriend, Adejoke, during their NYSC Passing‑Out Parade in Ibadan, Oyo State. He feigned illness initially, then surprised her with a ring, and she accepted the proposal — the moment was captured by colleagues and shared on social media.
2. Corps Member Proposes at POP in Bayelsa State
Another male corps member proposed to his girlfriend at their Passing‑Out Parade in Bayelsa State. The proposal was public and celebrated by onlookers, and the girlfriend reportedly accepted the proposal as well.
3. Corps Member Proposes to a Female Soldier at NYSC Camp
A third widely shared video — from an NYSC orientation camp in Kwara State — showed a male corps member proposing to a female soldier (not a fellow corps member but a uniformed service person at the camp). In the clip, he got down on one knee, presented a ring, and she accepted amid cheers from others. This particular incident reportedly led to reactions from Nigerian Army authorities because military personnel are governed by specific rules about conduct and relationships while in uniform.
Context & Reactions
- These proposals typically happen in informal social settings — such as the Passing‑Out Parade (POP) which marks the end of the NYSC service year.
- Videos of such moments spread widely on social media because they’re unexpected and emotional, often generating positive reactions and congratulations online.
- The soldier proposal (in Kwara) drew official attention because military personnel are subject to different conduct rules than corps members, eliciting commentary from Army spokespeople about regulations on fraternisation.
