We Started A Business” — Lady Reveals Why She Turned Down Marriage Proposal

According to Ireporter Online, a Nigerian lady has sparked widespread reactions on social media after revealing why she turned down a marriage proposal, linking her decision to her ex-boyfriend’s financial instability and career choices.

The lady, identified on X (formerly Twitter) as @Esther-aroboto, explained that she had previously supported her ex-boyfriend financially by giving him capital to start a business, but claimed he diverted the funds into studio sessions to pursue music. She said the turning point came during a marriage proposal conversation when she questioned how they intended to build a stable future, raise children, and sustain their household. According to her, his response—that she would secure a good job after school while he continued chasing his music career—made her reconsider the relationship immediately. She further described the moment as a realization that she was not dating a partner with shared responsibility for the future.

She also alleged that after the breakup, her ex-boyfriend later reached out requesting financial assistance for his child’s feeding and hospital bills. She added that she had previously advised him to seek stable employment instead of depending on her financially. In a further twist, she recounted that an old friend criticized her decision and suggested she apologize to her ex, but she declined the advice and ultimately blocked the friend.
