The Township Staduim
Kanye West made news proposing to Kim K at San Francisco’s AT&T Stadium,
but while you may not be able to rent the entire stadium, hire a
50-piece orchestra or get a scoreboard proposal at the stadium, you can
pull off you own version of the proposal by asking her hand in marriage
while a heated Kwara United or Abubakar Bukola Saraki match is going on
or on half-time.
If you are football fanatic, this tells her that you chose her above football.
Stadium
proposals are not a routine occurrence in Nigeria as a whole, and so
plucking up the courage to ask for your beloved’s hand in marriage in
the most public way possible will definitely get you that YES!
If she says no: She
might not be huge on football or sports generally. Do not give up, try
something more traditional, you might still get that YES!
‘Sobi’ Hill
Sobi Hill in its panoramic grandeur, is one of Illorin’s most iconic natural landmarks.
At roughly 394 metres above sea level, it offers an absolutely breathtaking view of the city.
For
a relaxed and romantic proposal, take a stroll up the steep incline at
sunset, find a quiet spot, take in the awesome view, and as the sun goes
down, get your proposal on!
Altitude, beauty and solitude is a winning combination.
If she says no: Blame it a phobia for heights. Claim you were delirious and mistook her for the love of your life.
The National Museum, Ilorin
Created in 1988 and still waxing strong, The National Museum,
Ilorin is a center for education, entertainment, relaxation and
enjoyment. It has on display archaeological, ethnographic and craft shop
units.
With
a large collection of interesting cultural objects from Nigeria’s many
cultures all under one roof, the museum provides a suitable and
impressive background for a proposal.
For
those looking to take it one step further, you could try placing the
ring as one of the many amazing exhibits or hiding it in one of the
artifacts and then proposing to her the minute she finds it – it will
help if you steer her towards it.
Ensure you plan this with the Museum staff and security to avoid the embarrassment of being escorted to the gate.
If she says no: Walk
into to the museum’s bar and drown your sorrows with a stiff drink. If
you are a foodie, there are also nice restaurants in the location as
well to provide comfort food.
The Metro Park
Set
in a very strategic area of Unity Road, Ilorin, the Metropolitan Park –
an irresistible rendezvous since the 70s – is now the ultimate
gathering spot for artists, students, and basically anyone, so it
provides a perfect setting for anyone willing to publicly display their
love and affection.
This
option is free to everyone, as it serves as the major park in the city.
Take a walk around, there are many scenic spots along the path for
visitors to stop for a picnic.
Pause by a spot where a cooler filled with champagne and chocolates lies hidden and pop the question. Irresistible!
If she says no: Take a swim in the Olympic-sized swimming pool at the park to clear your head.
