Hello guys, please this question has bugged me for a while.

As a Nigerian, when will be the most appropriate time to propose to your girlfriend.

1. When you have determined that she is “the one” but before seeking the parents’ approval. Knowing that they can still say “No”.
2. After meeting the parents but still going back and forth to gain approval. Knowing that they can still say “No”.
3. After the parents have given you approval.

And by propose, I mean kneel down, pop the question and slip an engagement ring into her finger.
Thank you.

Ops i guess u havnt eatn.....bt nyway sha 1st to comment.

Whenever you so wish

After you've taken her to the most expensive boutiques, and nice joints in your expensive cars.

What is your business with her parents?

...

Don't bother about time. Just splash some money in their face,and gbam! That's all. Though there are exception,I mean there are Nigerian gals that are not money conscious.

You do not necessarily have to say something just to say you know how to use the internet ehn!

Unfortunately I don't have expensive cars.

Nonso23: O.p to be safe, it's best done after meeting with her parents (not the igba-nkwu kind of meeting though but the one-off visit kind of meeting).
if you sense subtle signs of approval from her parents, go ahead if otherwise, find out your girl's stance on the my-parents-must-accept-you-first issue before you go ahead.
That should be number 2 in your post.

Thank you Nonso23, that makes real sense. Some people do not believe that parents in Nigeria especially, have a say.

tpacalipse: What is your business with her parents?

Na dem go talk YES or NO.... when u reach that stage you will find out

Buy her a brand new car, and put up a sign on it that read "Will you marry me?" "If you say yes the car is yours"

rokiatu: Buy her a brand new car, and put up a sign on it that read "Will you marry me?" "If you say yes the car is yours"

Which Nigerian girl will refuse such an offer?.

hence the reason I suggested it.

During solar eclipse.

Propose when she is in labor she will say yes.....

Not that I have a doubt in my mind, but this story will be interesting?

Funny ur d one that put up something dis silly
Shocked

I don't know about other Nigerian babes, but as for me, if you go to look for my parents approval, thereby hinting to them that you want to marry me before proposing to me, Na my parents go marry you!!!

If you're sure she won't turn down, pay their parent a visit with bicycle or keke napep(even if you have a car, just to know their parents mind) if they cooperate, pop the question! Me too am tired of Nigeria mentality based on many issues!
