In a jaw-dropping twist on the traditional marriage proposal, a man in Nigeria staged a fake fatal accident to pop the question to his girlfriend — and it worked.

The woman was told her boyfriend had been killed in a crash and was rushed to the “scene,” where she found him lying still, covered in fake blood. Distraught and panicked, she broke down in tears, believing the worst.

Then, in a moment straight out of a movie, the man “rose from the dead,” smiled, and asked her to marry him.

Though visibly shaken at first, the woman quickly realized it was all a dramatic ruse — and said yes.

The unusual proposal has sparked a mix of admiration and criticism online, with some calling it unforgettable and others questioning the emotional toll. Either way, it’s a proposal no one — especially the bride-to-be — will ever forget.
