Our forefathers never did this borrowed gesture yet their marriage worked and they grew old together.

I find it dramatic for ladies to shed 'happiness tears' after their long term boyfriend proposes. What's the aim of dating that long only to be surprise when he pops the question?

It's only logical to assert that she was expecting to be dumped or he was being used if she turn down his proposal.

Two adults should know what they want when they pair up.

Wouldn't you agree?

Yes, i wont agree!

Dont mind african..they want to act like their masters in everything

It's time to revert to the old way.

are you a yoruba guy?

Whatever way anyone chooses to propose is all dependent on personal choice, It has nothing to do with culture or tradition.

If you say that kneeling to propose is unafrican, then proposing with a ring and doing a white wedding is also unafrican.

White wedding is a big scam. Ring is just a symbol used to differentiate married from singles.

Don't be a hypocrite. Don't you wear suits and ties? Don't you wear shoes, drive cars, eat in restaurants and attend seminars? Are these thing not what your "masters" do? Why do you also do these things since you are preaching against "copying them in everything?"

Why aren't you some where in a bush village barefooted, dressed in leaves and attending a village meeting?

Yes. It's totally Unafrican. The African way should be beating your fiancee until she shouts: Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! I will marry you!

I keep on saying it, too much of abroad movies are brainwashing we africans.

We are brainwashed that things ought to happen a certain way which shouldnt be so.



But hey, we dont live in the past anymore, and we shouldnt not practice the things of old. We are a modern people, and lets behave like modern people. Whateva style of proposal u think is ok for you, do it. If u even want to lie down and say kabiyesi to ur fiancee, no problem, as long as she says yes, you two are good to go...


But thunder will fire dat woman after i kneel down finish and she says no...

ok sir

I find it hilarious when people pick & choose what's African & what isn't, especially when they're using western technology to air their views. Times change so either you get with the programme or throw away every modern gadget you own & start beating the drum to send a message just like in the good ol' days.

Well, it's all down to personal decision. Not cultural. If I chose to propose to my girl while prostrating, I don't expect anybody to question my decision. How and where I propose is my choice it's not something the society or culture decides
