OhMyG0d:
why the bitterness oozing from you?
What you termed archaic and old fashioned was once the NORM.
So, because someone knelt down for his girl to make proposal, we should just accept that as the ONLY way or everyone should just follow same pattern and never innovate their own?

I've seen where a guy proposed to his lady by inserting a ring into the bread she will eat. She took a bite and holla, there was the ring ring in her mouth... Brought it out and wanted to flare up with the waiter, before her guy calmly used same ring to proposed.

If everyone proposal is Outstanding, then, i think i should innovate and Stand Out among them.

No be someone started Pre-wedding Pictures posting? It was dumb then, but ALMOST everyone out there have caught its Fever.
Y do pple like complications.... wat if she had swallowed d ring? hmmm devil dae one place dae sleep.....I hate to hear dat word itz the devil's..........

It's very silly biko, and senseless.

Is that not how Oga Siena, an old married man, called me on the phone to propose? LWKMD!!! I just dey look am. I no really blame am sha. His whole life was ONLINE. cheesy

Someone you've never met PHYSICALLY? Hian! undecided

It's not by multiple chats and phone calls biko. Anyone can type sh*t on the phone. You need to see how they handle issues in real life. Or if you can tolerate them physically.

If a man wants to propose to you, he should respect you enough to do that in person. Presence speaks louder. If he proposes to you through phone, he might as well marry you through proxy.[color=#000099][/color]

Re: Is Proposing Marriage Over The Phone Silly? by Preator: 8:57am On Dec 03, 2016
actually, I've done this. I was planning on doing it physically but the distance was great and we won't be seeing each other for about 3-4 months. An uncle told me that's a long period for a woman. he said, "you might just be lucky to get a wedding invitation with you as the guest of honor". I proposed the same day on phone and our son is busy trying to grab my phone as I type this.

Some foolish Nigerian ladies dey provoke me really. He is staying in far away distance and always connect with you on phone and considered it normal. He sends you gift and money from his distant abode and you received with joyful heart. He tells you how wonderful you are though the phone and you rejoiced, but he proposed on the phone and you think he is stupid. God have mercy on you.

Re: Is Proposing Marriage Over The Phone Silly? by Nobody: 2:50pm On Dec 03, 2016
Its incredibly disgusting, the way some guys are sayin "I manage propose to Yu" "Person manage consider Yu". Acting like, by proposing, they are doing the girl a favour.
We all know, that proposing via phone isn't a conventional method. No one is asking you to go on ur knees and record the whole thing (although there is absolutely nothing wrong in doin that), but what is so tasking in asking the girl you wanna spend your life with to marry you in person?
Yes. The proposal isn't such a big deal compared to the marriage, but it still is a big deal, and it should be treated as such.
If distance or some other tangible reason is hindering you from proposing in person, fine. But it wouldn't be as awesome as doing it physically. Hearing her scream "yes", her smiles reaching her ears, she might cry even. Seeing the incredible amount of joy on her face, knowing you're responsible for that.... Mehn.. Biko propose to ur gal in person.

Atink in ya village men propose to women by kneeling down and giving a ring with flowers and musicians serenading in the background. Oyibo film has done permanent damage to black man. Nigerian "yoots" don't know shishi. Don't agree jare. Sack him. He will make a bad husband. Find the one who will kneel down and then pay money to your family to buy you at the same time. Which system una wan really follow for this confused country sef? Footnote to history: Malcolm X proposed to his wife via phonecall from a phone booth in the 1950s and she quickly said "yes" and he had to ask her again if she understood what he said and she said yes. I'm sure you will never be as prominent as that family
