According to witnesses, the man visited the campus to propose with an engagement ring.
However, the student declined the proposal in front of other students, triggering a heated reaction.
In the footage, several female students were seen confronting the lady, questioning why she accepted financial assistance from the man if she had no intention of marrying him.
Some students were heard urging her to reconsider the proposal, insisting she should accept because of the support he allegedly provided.
The incident has generated mixed reactions online, with many Nigerians debating whether financial sponsorship in relationships should create expectations of marriage or long-term commitment.
