A woman was called to what she was told was “the scene of a fatal accident”, the victim being her boyfriend. But her surprise was huge: as soon as she got there she saw the man “rise from the dead” and ask her to marry him.

It all happened in Nigeria where a man filed a completely out-of-print marriage proposal. He was helped by his friends, staged a fatal accident, and then called his girlfriend to the scene.

The woman was shocked and desperate to see the love of her life lying on the ground, motionless and with fake blood all around him.

After a few dramatic moments in which she screamed and mourned her boyfriend, the man got up, smiled, and asked her to marry him.

It took the woman a few moments to recover from the shock, but eventually, she too began to smile and accepted the request.
