A Nigerian woman based in Toronto has told of how she challenged cultural norms by choosing not to kneel down for her husband during her traditional marriage, and that Nigerian men are mad about it.

The gorgeous Yoruba bride said she and her husband spoke to the coordinators (Alagas) ahead of the wedding and asked that they do not ask her to kneel for her husband. The wedding day came and it was the way the bride and groom wanted it. There was no mention of submission and she didn't have to kneel.

She said her sister also took a stand at her own wedding which took place earlier this week.

After she shared her story, some women who did the same thing came to share theirs. A few Nigerian men applauded her for challenging the status quo. But the majority of Nigerian men were angry and called her out. Some even insulted her husband for supporting her.

If the hubby is cool with it.
Good for them.
Kneeling down doesnt make a good marriage in the first place tho.
It's all about LOVE, PATIENCE, GOOD ATTITUDE, UNDERSTANDING etc.....

The devil doesn't like the marriage institution so he uses modernity to destroy it.

Victim mentality. If you think a Yoruba male that prostrates to the girl's parents during the traditional wedding can pick on something like this and start whining like a lil bitch, quote me.

Maybe they don't know,they are slaves in that country
Moreover, kneeling down for husband is part of effisy of traditional marriage

She will still kneel down in the night.

Pls, also remember to share how you kneel down when in the other room...

it still didn't change you from who you are or from being a female, so what is the essence of sharing it on social media

Is that her own version of feminism or what? I wonder what that has added to her life; what's the point of putting it out there on social media?
Aunty, as long as you're kneeling to give him bloww job, you have no point. Please, swerve.

The husband is not an alpha male

Foolish couple!

All in the name of westernization... na dat westernization go kee both of una.

The husband is simply a sissy.........what has an age long tradition signifying respect to the husband on that day got to do with what will happen in the union.
BTW I guess she goes on her knees in the other room to please him...........

Awon eyan feminist. Very dull feminist. Now, she done talk am out, husband go see am, husband family go see am, husband friend go see am, dem go talk to the husband to man up that this one go dey domineering ooo. Husband brain go burst, him go reach house and that's how parade go change.

Cheap s6 edge plus. Check my signature.

The institute of marriage is really under attack.

Why marry stall if you don't want to submit to your husband?

The concept of marriage from the west dosnt work. That's why one out of every 2 marriages end in divours.

On marriage matters, the whites need to learn from Africa not the other way round.

God will not keep something that ain't playing by His rules...

Selah...

She felt the need to still make it public a second time. Which man married this girl?

You simply displayed your fish brain that's all.

c if i crash u knock
con try am with me
if I no disfigured us face

Preshy561:
lol.

NL guys are pained.

Everything must not be about gender biko
I think the couple are actually stupid.
Most especially the Lady.
Imagine her saying "those knees didn't touch the ground",
She is just so arrogant I pity that man.

That's just a tradition, kneeling for ur hubby That very day doesn't mean anything.

Any couple might decide how they want to run their wedding, what to include and what to remove, which is their business.

Not kneeling in your wedding is your business, but there might be underlying attitude that this girl posseses which means she's in for more spoils, na her type dey make man believe she dey do him favour.

The truth is, there are no two captains on a ship, there are nonsenses girls of nowadays do that i just look at them, giggle, then laugh out loud, a very submissive and repective wife rules her home, she weilds more power than the husband self, the man subconciously cedes power to the wife, she's the prime minister while the guy is just a ceremonial head.

Interesting.

This same type of girl will meet the English Queen one day and courtsey.

She will claim it is respect rather tradition or protocol. The level of inferiority complex Africans have in spite of their rich superior culture & traditions is puzzling.

I pity the husband. He might just be singing a different tune in 18 months

See that her forehead like Zuma rock

So long both of them are cool with the arrangement, no problem. As for me I don't want any noisy or elaborate wedding sef, nothing like pre-wedding photoshoot or the likes.. Just a simple wedding of few friends and family and I'm done. If my future partner is cool with my idea then every other person ideas doesn't matter

So that's an achievement for you abi.....sense will soon dawn on you

Kneeling for your husband shouldn't be a big deal.

Men too should stop knelling down to propose then. Its that simple!

feminists , what baffles me is they will still expect u to take full care of the home expenditures. or else they will rule u completely .. haha

lol.
