The man has been married for 51 years so I know he's a wise elder. My husband knelt down to propose but if he hadn't I probably wouldn't have noticed or cared. What's important is how you get treated in the marriage.

ETA: we really need to document our culture. We can't really blame people for kneeling down when that's all they see online. I don't even know what a traditional yoruba proposal should be like.

Protection and security: A real man protects his lady from aggressors, criminal, animals, even reality of life at times. He suffers, cause love is sacrificial.

Provision: A real man provides, money, food, and support to his lady. Even if her ideas or business sounds stupid, he will still support cause he sees her as his pride

Keeps you company ( cure your loneliness): You ladies feel more lonely than man, especially when you have not found the right man. If you like have 8 boyfriends and you will still be lonely inside you cause you know there are not the man.

Children: The joy of every normal lady is to find a real man to procreate with. Not a lazy weak man. A real woman body's generally crave and was created to procreate children.

A home: Real man will provide you a home. A safe heaven on earth where you will always want to go.

Family: He gives you a family. Apart from you own family. You need to create a your own proper family . You can't achieve that without a man.

Listening ears to you constant nagging: listens to all your nagging nonenses that you ladies know can drive you too crazy.

Happiness and Fulfilment: your happiness and Fulfilment is linked with a man. Even if you don't marry you still need a child which still comes out from a man.

Lastly gives you focus and reason to be. I am sure you will argue. Most ladies don't have focus. Let be truth to ourselves.

If a man was not so useful, why do you all want to be equal with a man. Simple truth.

This qualities which I personally opted out from cause I can't enslave myself for a lady who still won't be grateful at the end of the Day.

But seriously women what do you provide apart from sex?

Now wey bigman don talk am, case e yaff close jor

You are thinking with a sexual brain!!!

Seeing many peniss as you grow up make you to develop disrespect for men..

Think about your father, your brother and all the scientific development that have taken place in the world... Men did all these developments without making use of their penis.. Stop being shallow!!!

A man will pay your bride price, save up to sponsor the wedding, pay rent, pay school fees, change your Name, impregnate you, protect you, and instill discipline in his house but you can't think of how best to define him!!!

Now I know that ladies don't really love or respect men... They just want to collect what they want from them and stay selfish!!!

THINGS FALL APART

laughter won kee me... How do u know they are old newspapers... This one banga

The African man and his stupidd ego! Pete Edochie, a Nigerian yeyebrity actor has no right insulting white men, or insulting men who kneel to propose. Marriage happens once in a lifetime, so what's the big deal when a man kneels? This old man who has contributed nothing to humanityy, apart from his stupid proverbs has the guts to insult the white race, forgetting that the whites are the ones who impacted the universe, making so many inventions, including the medium through which he is throwing this insult.

pocohantas:
You can’t kneel to propose,

But you will bow to lick toto like say bounty and snickers dey there.

Brother wey mumu.

do you think that sh..it is enjoyable to men?

99 percent of men who do it, do it for the lady not because they enjoy that sh.iit.

So use another example

Spectrum22:

he expressed his opinion by insulting others.He insulted white men and any other man who kneels down to propose.He was throwing the words "idiots and fools " around ,you left that part out.

If you are old doesn't give you the right to insult people first ,I don't want to believe old age is catching up with him and making him loose his senses and become senile.

Let's not forget it's the same white men who is the reason he can even record his opinion and put it on the white man's internet .

I seriously concur with him, but I don't think standing up to propose to a lady is romantic

Then lie down flat to propose so it can become romantic

You get a name! That's one very important thing you get from a man..

Petersamuel8:

It is from trying to be romantic that some men surrendered their powers to the women in their relationships. We are Africans and we have our culture even Sarah called Abraham "My Lord" and that is the way it should be. Sisi men everywhere.

They also invented weapons for destruction and are also creating more. They should have just sticker to making inventions that will impact positively on the lives of human.

This is what causes conflicts everyone has there mindset when it comes to proposal because you can't kneel to propose doesn't mean another can't !so if he's saying a guy that kneels down is a fool that means his talking from his own perspective remember everyone can be the same or do the same thing that's why we're humans not animals.

.......and what is the deaddd-brained black man who whines about irrelevant things waiting for? The black man should also make inventions to counter the white man's weapons of destruction, if the black man cannot achieve such, then he should learn to shut up.

Lol. It is not that deep. I do not like public proposals or proposals generally- because it hasn’t made the bulk of Nigerian men love their women like a partner and fellow human. But saying people who do it are stupid or weak.

Men and dick measuring contest sha. Always looking for a reason to claim alpha over the next man.

It's nature. Have you seen gorillas and peacocks around females? If you have, you will understand their need to always standout amidst their peers.

Sixfeetbelle:


Let me increase the volume so the 'men' on this forum will hear it.

Just for the fun of it:

A man improves a woman's life in all ramifications:

1. What has a woman invented for humanity? Over 98% of all human development and improvement are by men... All the most useful inventions.

2. If a woman of royalty marries a man, the man is still just a man. But a man elevates the life of a woman to the highest position she can ever attain by just marrying her. She becomes a Queen with all powers by just being married to a king... She becomes a Mrs., First lady etc.

3. A woman is a dormant partner in the main purpose of a union... She does not initiate anything on her own... She has to be fed, taken care of and even impregnated!

4. Men literarily created the civilization that allows a woman to ask this question and for some to "increase volume".

Surprisingly, the same holds in all of the animal kingdom.

So what has a Woman added to the life of a man and to humanity if we take away basic biology of procreation?
Intact, what have women brought to humanity?

Even in sexual intercourse, a man is the fuccker while she ia contented to be the fucckee!!!

If a woman "increases volume" of the question, can she answer the converse of the same question with any utility?

Sissy men kneel down to get pssy that they can command a woman to happily give them hence the useless practice of "kneeling down" pay for something you have brought... How silly?

So why are men kneeling down and proposing to a girl? BETAA


What is the life of a woman without a man's money? Lets also include your fathers, brothers, uncles, boyfriends, sugardaddy, etc among men!

I am preemptively including my own mother and sisters among women because I know the next argument is the useless, emotionally manipulative, stale statement: " your mother and sisters "...

Honour should be given to the efforts and contributions of both genders where they contribute but there is no rational " volume" to be "increased".

Wanna be oyinbos will not like this.. some fools even take it to public places.. rubbish .

Same shoe with u...
Doing it is submitting to a woman. She should submit to a loving husband.
I concur, intoto, with ichie Pete.





i nvr did... My wife den was like..ur knees was suppose to be dwn.. I told her sorry, it has passed [/quote]

freethinker01:
Reminds me of a girl I categorically told I'm not down for that kneeling down to propose shit, she thought I was joking, bitvh said she can't marry someone like me, I was like who told u I want to marry u before... It's all bullshit jhor

She already knows that your ego is on another level

Since we are joking about this; and just because you demanded it, I'll reply you judiciously.

1. True. Women haven't invented anything that will shake the world's foundations and such, but women have contributed excessively to world growth. I know of Marie Curie. I know of Valentina Tereshkova.

2. That isn't True. In royalty, if a commoner marries a princess, his level is elevated. Greedy men have married just for these reasons alone. I don't have mentions but hopefully Wikipedia can help.

3. Agreed. But your response is due to the patriarchal system we grew up with. Nowadays that feminism is taking over, women are no longer dormant partners. We have relationships were the woman is the dominant and the man is the submissive. Even lesbian relationships have women being the leader. As for being a 'log' while having sex, you're humorous. Just because you choose to invest your time in one particular sex position doesn't mean the remaining 49 (at least) had the man doing on the job.

Inside joke: spelling of 'coconut' with the hips by a woman.

4. Like I said, men dominated the scene without giving women room to thrive. I've read about a Scottish tribe where women were the leaders. They went on rampages and war as if they were men, leading clans of men into battle and claiming victories.



In conclusion, men believe women haven't 'added' anything to men's life because men themselves refuse to see it or admit it. Women all over history must work twice as hard as men to prove themselves. It's the bane of our existence.

I hope with these few points of mine, I was able to convince you and not confuse you...(you know the rest).

Confirmedzombie:
Only ibos especially Anambra, Ndi Imo people kneel down to propose a woman.

Very backward people.

I was about to school you.......


Then I saw ur moniker...




Pls carry on

IME1:


He said any man he didn't say black man that means he is also trying to berate the white man and his culture.
Now take a look at the 4 pictures above, one man is proposing to his woman who has dwarfism, is he supposed to stand or make her kneel?

How does kneeling make one less a man?
In your tribe doesn't the man and his wife not eventually kneel before their parents for them to pray over them at their wedding?

Also he who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from the Lord, a wife is like a treasure found that makes a man sell all he has to buy the treasure and even the land join.

You can't do cafeteria when it comes to certain things, like the Christian faith, however, you can when it comes to inter cultural exchange.
When you wear jeans and wristwatch it is the white man's culture, but you don't say that's copy copy?
You eat with cutleries, sitting on a table and use gas or kerosene cookers, those are the white man's techniques, is it not copy copy? You may even have an English name sef
That means all cultures borrow from each other and have many similarities- from the dressing, to the food, to the cloths to the music and more.

When you see someone you wish to spend the rest of your life with, who would be your help mete and would drop her father's name and take yours up, you should, do appreciate her and honour her.

If you can kneel for so many other things and reasons freely why the ego when it comes to a woman you married, not just any waka pass strange woman oh

Mah niccur

I always ask what the significance of "kneeling to propose" to a lady is.
But the responses I get only centers on "it's romantic"

1. Not excessively when its less than 2% and we can live without the impact of their inventions. What about all that men have brought to the table without whining?

2. Not correct about a woman elevating a commoner! The man remains a commoner... But ALL women greedily take advantage of their men's money and position ALL the time!!! No, it's not greed, it is hypergamy... Men are not hypergamous ONLY women are naturally.
I assure you that if I am dating you(and am not a billionaire, thankfully, am just two zeros away) you will leave me to marry a billionaire and feel smart about it.
Women actively look for opportunities to have their lives improved through the men they associate with!!

3. I like the spelling of coconut sha... Ha ha ha
If I ask to spell now quarrel go start.
4. Does patriarchy also exist in the animal kingdom? It is nature not any patriarchy!
The place on earth today where a conscious effort is made to re-engineer the social system towards gender equality is in Scandinavia.it is the most successful example so far but surprisingly, feminism has not changed anything about the way men and women make their choices in life, partnerships etc. Instead, the characteristics of the so called patriarchy appear to have been maximized as more women now having freedom are choosing to do 'women things' and are enjoying it... This is research conducted 3 times over the last decade with the same shocking results.
Same sex and other similar psychological conditions are outliers... Na sickness dem be now!

No, no... Men don't want women to try twice to prove themselves... We appreciate them for their roles of our mothers and Queens BUT women are not contented and want to prove themselves.
They want to get what we are happy to give them (dick and money) without whining hence going against their nature. It becomes a struggle for them because it's unnatural to them!

Good try though but not yet confused!
