A UK-based Nigerian videographer has shared a deeply emotional story after unexpectedly discovering his girlfriend at a singles matchmaking event where she claimed she had been single for the past two years, despite being in an active relationship with him.

The videographer, who had been contracted to cover the event organized by a popular UK TikTok matchmaking group, arrived late due to multiple train cancellations but made it just in time for the opening segment.

As he began recording, he was stunned to see his girlfriend among the participants.

During the introduction round, where attendees were asked to share their name, city, and how long they had been single, she claimed her last relationship ended in Nigeria and that she had been single ever since relocating to the UK — two years ago.

According to the videographer, they began dating two months ago, on May 18.

“I was shocked,” he said. “I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.”

Trying to remain professional, he chose not to confront her and continued filming the event. Things took a more painful turn when she participated in a live matchmaking segment and was successfully paired with another man. He watched in silence as she left the venue in the man’s car.

Later that night, she messaged him claiming she had been unwell and indoors all day completely unaware that he had seen her at the event.

The videographer says he is devastated, especially given the seriousness of their relationship. The couple had planned to go on Umrah in December, a trip he had already paid for.

His family had also connected with hers in Lagos, and his sister had even sent her gifts.

Sharing his experience, he wrote:

“Something happened and I don’t know how to react. I’m so confused. Sorry for jare I was busy. So there is a single hangout that happened in Manchester yesterday, it was organised by one of these UK TIKTOK matchmakers.”

“I was the videographer for the event, unfortunately I got there late because my train got canceled twice but I got there regardless.”

“When I got in I met couple of people that came for the event and some vendors and the organizers too, the event hasn’t really started fully which means I met the very first program of the event. I started my own job as the videographer and things are going on.”

“They asked people to be introducing one another, it’s going on and on until I saw my girlfriend, she was at the event too.”

“She introduced herself, the template of the introduction is say your name, the city you live and how long you’ve been single.”

“My girlfriend introduced herself and mentioned that she’s been single for 2yrs, in short she said her last relationship was in Nigeria and it ended cos she relocated and since she arrived UK she’s never been in any relationship. Mind you, we started dating like 2 months ago, May 18 precisely.”

“I was pained and confused, I almost called her out at the event but I kept my cool, she didn’t see me which I’m happy about.”

“Part of the program of the event is live date where men and ladies will come out, ask each other out and match if their interest align, fortunately or unfortunately she made a match.”

“The event ended and everyone left for their house, sadly I watched her left the event in the car of the guy she matched with.”

“I got home and she texted me how was the job I went for I said it was okay and I asked about her day she said she’s been feeling unwell and she’s been indoor since morning.”

“I love her, I can’t even deny that, I’m hurt badly, so badly, what should I do, how do I handled this, we are going December Umurah together.”

“I’ve paid for everything. She’s in contact with my mom, my mom have met her family in Lagos twice. My sister sent her 5 abaya from Nigeria for ileya. All of this in just two month she said yes to me.”
