A viral video has surfaced online showing a yet-to-be-identified corps member proposing to a female soldier at the Yikpata orientation camp of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Kwara State.
The corps member was seen in the video kneeling while proposing to the female soldier.
According to the video that was shared by Date360 on Instagram on Thursday, December 16, 2021, some corps members were seen discussing at a venue assumed to be the parade ground of the orientation camp.
In the video, their discussion was still on when the yet-to-be-identified corps member, who is seen holding a ring, went down on one knee and popped the question to the soldier with the lady accepting the proposal.
Also in the video, the corps member went on to put in the ring in the finger of the visibly excited soldier amid cheers from others at the scene.
The soldier could also be seen enjoying the moment as she kissed the ring at intervals with a smile inscribing on her face.
It was gathered that the lovebirds later share a warm embrace.
Thereafter, in another clip, the pair were further seen sharing lovey-dovey moments. The corps member was seen wearing the lady’s military cap as she stood directly behind him.
They thereafter shared a kiss — much to the thrill of other corps members filming the incident, as no one knows how their love story started.
Meanwhile, the development comes as a shift from incidents of soldiers assaulting corps members at different times.
In September, Chika Anele, a female soldier, provoked widespread criticism for bathing Ezeiruaku Ifeyinwa Fidelia, a corps member in Calabar, Cross River state, with dirty water.
Also in 2016, TheCable reported a female soldier dealt with a civilian for allegedly complimenting her beauty.
