A dramatic scene unfolded at a salon in Nigeria when a man unexpectedly showed up years after his breakup with his ex-girlfriend to reclaim items he had previously bought for her.
The incident, captured in a now-viral video, left onlookers stunned.
The man entered the salon with a group of friends, and, to the shock of everyone, proceeded to pick up a sterilizing machine that he had gifted his ex during their relationship.
His ex-girlfriend, visibly upset, confronted him about his actions, while other women in the salon expressed their disbelief at his decision to return and demand the items after such a long period.
Voices from the background can be heard calling him “shameless” and questioning why he had waited so long to retrieve the gifts.
Some women were perplexed by his bold move, while others criticized his behavior, suggesting that the items were no longer of importance.
The incident quickly sparked a heated online debate, with reactions split between those who criticized the man for his actions and others who defended his decision.
Some users advised men to hold onto receipts for gifts, while others expressed sympathy, suggesting that the man’s emotional attachment to the past might be the driving force behind his actions.
User @Dalabiundastone wrote, “Meeen.. anytime una dey buy something make una dey out the receipt for una name. Instead of you going there to pick it by yourself just go to police and declare it stolen. Hold your receipt for hand. N why get receipt get asset. 😆”
Meanwhile, @PrettyMfon shared a more sympathetic view, adding, “Oh this man, he must be really hurt. Please leave it for her. You will get more. In life, you win some and lose some. Let her and everything you gave her go!”
As the video continues to gain attention, the incident serves as a reminder of the complexities of relationships and the emotions that can linger long after a breakup.
