Engagement is an act of promising to marry someone typically using a ring to signify the promise. It is also a period of time in which marriage and all of its rites and procedures are planned. Simply put, engagment is the period of time where partners prepare to marry each other after promising to do so using a ring.

Typically in Africa, this should be the time when families of the intending couple get to meet each other. Introduction takes place, marriage list is exchanged, the rites are negotiated and preparation for marriage begins proper. Anything short of this during the period of engagement is a waste of time, scam and a subtle act of imprisonment to me, except there is a solid and I mean really solid reason why it has to delay.

How can you be engaged for several years, Doing what exactly? If you are not ready to take the next bold step in a relationship, you should leave it at that stage, don’t get engaged or get someone engaged for years doing nothing. Why not put up a wire fence around them and cage them permanently. I do not understand why a lady will choose to be deceived, walk around wearing an engagement ring for years, get used and dumped and later cry men are scum.

It is a promise to wed and permission to be given time to prepare for the wedding, not a promise to chase away other serious suitors or eligible partners. Anything more than a year is a waste of time to me. Ladies do not be deceived, do not wear an engagement ring for more than a sensible period of time, you are not lord of the rings.

If you are not ready for marriage yet, just keep dating. If you are scared of losing your partner, let them know for reassurance. Do not engage someone without the intent of marriage, that is wicked! Do not use someone for sexual gains in the name of engagement, that is witchcraft! Do not block someone from moving on or finding a suitable partner with an excuse of engagement, that is heartless! Never let yourself be emotionally imprisoned with the use of some dumb ring. Ladies be wise, men take caution.

What idiot called it an engagement ring...
When he could've called it a Kneel Diamond?
A woman decided to break off her recent engagement, and her friend said, *what happened? I thought it was love at first sight!*

To which the woman replied, *but the second and third ones changed my mind.*

Evening newspapers wouldn't understand thIs write-up.
Desperation and the need to belong, can make most girls lose their reasoning faculty, when it comes to marriage matter.

Op I hope you know some women buy those rings themselves and call it engagement ring. In fact they go ahead to flaunt it to their friends meanwhile dude is still trying to figure out his life plans and choices

The worst of all is those idiot girls that will become one guy's pornst@r for 8years then get engaged for another 8years and finally get dumped then she goes out looking for a good, rich, God fearing man.... My sister do you fear God?




Engagement these days is basically a long period of free banging, promise a girl marriage, put a ring and she will open her legs wide from oduduwa republic to biafra...



Women become prisoners of engagement aka Lord of the rings because of inability to know what they want, ask a woman what she wants and she can use one year to think about it because she doesn't have a brain of her own she only wants what others girls wants and that is the reason why many girl today become sex tools, their idols are sex tools so they feel it's the right thing to be...



Whoever they engage woman these days get iron mind, I dare not... If you know they number of ladies on porn sites uploading sex videos everyday, you go fear to marry...

Do you know how many local porn productions we have in Nigeria alone?


7 out of every ten Nigerian girls have bleeped on video... 9 out of 10 have lost their virginity...


It's not like they don't know that what they are doing is bad, they know and after they are done enjoying they pretend to regret it so that good guys like you can engage them...


Be wise bro...

There's nothing meaningful called engagement I must be sincere with you.

The procedures should be
1. Get to know YOURSELVES properly (don't be deceived no time is too short or long to understand yourselves better)
2. Fix a date for INTRODUCTION
3. In no time get WEDDED

Too long time after introduction is meaningless and can cause a lot of damage so beware.

As for me I submit, so I don't CARE or doesn't RECOGNIZES anything called the public engagement that the youth of these days now do.

Anyways I still do not CARE

Ok

Ok

I'm this shit currently, God will see me through

Chioma should take note

Once someone is desperate and their mindset has bn wired to think "Without a partner/lover, they are incomplete," It will be difficult to actually convince them or free them..

Most guys in Nigeria use it as access to free browsing which is very wrong

If after 6 months no sign of marriage approaching, LEAVE!

Lol
Op I feel your pain. . .
For me engagement period shouldnt be more than one year. If any party f*ck up during engagement period he/she should be dismiss right away and the engagement called off
You see this life is simple. It is humans that makes it complicated

Dear Op please mind your business.

Never underestimate the fowlers. Seeing your parents or engaging you could just be one of his snares.

If you know, you know.
