Mr. Kenny....star, tell us how it the relationship ended. That as for all wasn't a proposal from the lady. It was just 'chiking or toasting or TT' as they call it that the lady did to u. Meanwh, did the lady marry u as the thread is abt proposals leading to marriage.

that's my privacy na.

Okay nau, na im be say when the lady propose give the guy, she go carry the guy go house go show her parents, then she and her parents go buy kolanut go see the guy parents, and na im be say na she go fund the wedding come marry the man put for house....lolz.cheesy It will be very disgraceful for any lady to propose to a guy who isn't ready for marriage (not even about having a job or money), and get turned down, especially here in Nigeria where marriage requires alot of work on the man's part. Such scenario will make a very interesting nollywood movie to watch.

Even as a guy, i dnt see myself kneelin 4 one gal 2 come marry me...no be shakara o, its jst nt my thang. I prefer we both talk abt d future of d relatnshp & she is allowed 2 speak her mind abt wat she wants includin d posibility of marriage. Bt wen she proposes & tries 2 put me in a diffcult & obligational position. Then na OYO she dey be dat o. Shikena!

It's nothing new, 95% of Nigerian girls/women do. If you doubt me ask yourself when was the last time you asked a Nigerian girl/woman out and she didn't ask you if you were going to marry her. The wording may not be exact but it all boils down to "will you marry me?".

@ladies: ask yourself how many times you proposed to a man even before you accepted his wooing. Not every man that asks you out wants to marry you, even if they did it is far more interesting if he gets to that decision on his own.

Princeadebayo1: Going for what u want ....yeah but it will be a shock to the Man if he is not yet ready and anything can follow,I guess her husband too had already made up his mind to propose to her so it wasnt dat sudden to him so it depends.....

:
And do you think a female can cope with a rejection from a man like a man will do?......*mouth sealed*:.....#FoodForThought

i will rather cope with rejection early than realize 5yrs down the line that this person never intended to marry me at all, at least if you ask and he says no , then you know on time .

i feel that when a girl asks a man to marry her it is a very bold way of finding out what plans this guy has for you, many men will lead you on for 10years if they had their way,only a daft, weak ,ego drunk man would think it desperate, desperate is getting pregnant purposefully to rope a man into marriage, i think that rather than get pregnant and rope the guy into committing by force and then have him spite you for a long time because he knows the stunt you pulled to end up his wife , why not just ask him? if he says no, thank your lucky stars, dust your slippers on your way out and move on before you start spending your time and energy on someone who never had the intention of setting down in life with you .Humans are tougher than you think, time is a healer.

WOMEN TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE PLEASE, DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING

Nothing is definitely wrong in proposing to a man..though it might not happen all the time. it depends on the situation.. Ruth actually strategically wooed and proposed to Boaz in the bible following her mothe-inlaw's advice.

Re: Is It Ever Okay For A Woman To Propose To A Man? by DaBullIT(m): 9:23am On Aug 02, 2014
Ask yourself , are we talking about the African mentality here ? Or in General sense , since everything that used to be African is either lost ,dead or dying , The Oyinbo culture took all that away from Us, but come to think of it , One slave can not serve two masters , once your try to mix the two , your killing the originality , my point being depending on how exposed you are the answer varies , the African moral is different from the Oyinbo moral

Bottom line , as a conc African , believer in deep rooted tradition its wrong , but since we live the Oyinbo culture everyday , its OK for a lady to express her feelings and propose to a man

If you are waiting, you may wait till Buhari becomes the President before you will see one, because its not yet a popular practice in Nigeria.

Re: Is It Ever Okay For A Woman To Propose To A Man? by Chilug(m): 1:18pm On Aug 06, 2014
Don't ever do that, even if you think you are so sure he will marry you rather you can just ask him when will he see your parents or pressure him to do that if he refuses to react positively to that then there is trouble. But don't ever propose he might turn you down, and that might change your life forever.

Fresia01: i wish we Nigerians can jux stop making it look like its a big deal for a gal to propose to a guy!? its really killing some gals,, me inclusive!!! wen a gal proposes, they guys look at her as being desperate and cheap so d gals jus. choose to die in silence!! nt fair

Whatever was the reason the man never proposed wont disappear if the roles were reversed, doesn't make a difference in my books, BTW, do you wanna pick the bills the reason you are keen on proposing?
