Nigerians ‘sympathizes’ with lady who accepted marriage proposal from man who went viral for publicly assaulting his ex

Nigerians are sympathising with a woman who recently got engaged to a well-known Nigerian techie who went viral for reportedly viciously assaulting his ex-partner.

Funferekenye “Bodiowei” Koroye, an award-winning digital entrepreneur, took to X on Sunday, Feb. 4, to post images of his fiancée and himself proposing to her.

Nigerians, on the other hand, filled the comments with expressions of compassion for the woman, with many asking whether she saw the “signs”.

A video that went popular online last year depicted a guy beating and bullying his ex-partner.

According to sources, he continued to pursue, harass, and threaten her even after two years of separation.

Reacting to this, Toke Makinwa publicly applauded her courage and agreeing to take him so other women don’t have to deal.

In her words: “Awwwww… A woman publicly accepts to marry an abuser, there’s proof of this beast launching at his ex on video, he has stalked his ex for years and you say YES?? Naaa we gotta all come together to thank you for agreeing to take him so other innocent women don’t have to deal.”
