A young Nigerian man has gone viral after going on his knees to apologise profusely to his girlfriend.
In the trending clip, the man admitted he had gone out, failed to chat or text, and was tipsy, but insisted he deeply regretted his actions.
With folded hands and kisses blown towards her, he begged for forgiveness, saying he never meant to hurt her feelings. “I’m very sorry about yesterday, my baby. I don shayo, but I swear to God it will never happen again,” he pleaded.
He added that even if he repeated the offence, he would always apologise. His repeated confessions of love left many online users divided, with some finding the gesture romantic and others calling it desperate.
Love Or Desperation?
The video has sparked intense debate on social media, with users questioning whether such dramatic apologies should be celebrated or condemned.
While some praised his vulnerability and affection, others mocked the scene as an unnecessary display of weakness.
Critics argued that love should not reduce men to constant pleading, while supporters maintained that true love requires humility. “At least he values her enough to own up to his mistake,” one user wrote.
Relationship commentators also weighed in, with a few warning that such repeated promises risk creating a cycle of unhealthy behaviour if not backed by genuine change.
Social media reactions
The video quickly stirred mixed reactions online, with some viewers praising the man’s humility while others mocked the dramatic apology as unnecessary and desperate.
