She will still kneel down in the night.

it still didn't change you from who you are or from being a female, so what is the essence of sharing it on social media

IamHeWrites:
A Nigerian woman based in Toronto has told of how she challenged cultural norms by choosing not to kneel down for her husband during her traditional marriage, and that Nigerian men are mad about it.

The gorgeous Yoruba bride said she and her husband spoke to the coordinators (Alagas) ahead of the wedding and asked that they do not ask her to kneel for her husband. The wedding day came and it was the way the bride and groom wanted it. There was no mention of submission and she didn't have to kneel.

She said her sister also took a stand at her own wedding which took place earlier this week.

After she shared her story, some women who did the same thing came to share theirs. A few Nigerian men applauded her for challenging the status quo. But the majority of Nigerian men were angry and called her out. Some even insulted her husband for supporting her.

Is that her own version of feminism or what? I wonder what that has added to her life; what's the point of putting it out there on social media?
Aunty, as long as you're kneeling to give him bloww job, you have no point. Please, swerve.

if you don't care who influenced who then why did you conclude the man is the type that would do anything just to "get there"?

Which Kyn useless language be this biko

1stCitizen:
This same type of girl will meet the English Queen one day and courtsey.

She will claim it is respect rather tradition or protocol. The level of inferiority complex Africans have in spite of their rich superior culture & traditions is puzzling.

I pity the husband. He might just be singing a different tune in 18 months

Produke:
If you are trying to be Western, don't do traditional marriage then.

lastempero:
But a man will still kneel down to propose to a girl he is not even sure he is going to marry.

kushme:


Most of them stop blowing after the wedding ..

There's an end to every game.. In this game of relationship for most women is marriage..

They are always on a mission, you'll be wondering why the sudden change after doing many nice things for you during courting like "good sex, cook, clean etc.

At least, madam no kneeling down is truthful before the traditional wedding .. The lady is rude.. She dey slap am for their face for social media..

That wan na the husband headache sha.. The man na sissy, like the guy you quoted said.

tossie101:

Everything must not be about gender biko
I think the couple are actually stupid.
Most especially the Lady.
Imagine her saying "those knees didn't touch the ground",
She is just so arrogant I pity that man.

If the hubby is cool with it.
Good for them.
Kneeling down doesnt make a good marriage in the first place tho.
It's all about LOVE, PATIENCE, GOOD ATTITUDE, UNDERSTANDING etc.....

AreaFada2:


Tor! It is not by force after all.

WhoBeThisMan:
The institute of marriage is really under attack.

Why marry stall if you don't want to submit to your husband?

The concept of marriage from the west dosnt work. That's why one out of every 2 marriages end in divours.

On marriage matters, the whites need to learn from Africa not the other way round.

And you're a lady??

The kind of comments from ladies on this thread shows y'all are suffering from Stockholm syndrome.

Y'all will gladly accept slavery.

Ugosample:


There is no such thing as superior or inferior culture

Culture is culture

that's why I feel sorry for those who call African culture "inferior"

there is no such thing

I disagree. African culture, likewise Chinese is superior to European culture which my friend is almost non existent these days.

AmazonTopaz:


Oga elder how far?
Don't mind them see nairaland men crying he couple have no problem so wetin dey there?

As for me I done dey talk am small small for house the idea of brideprice does not go down well with me culture or no culture.I believe culture is dynamic not static whether I am copying whites or Africans what I know is that I won't have an elaborate wedding I don't even expect him to kneel down self(depending on who proposes self)any decision concerning my marriage is between my husband and I family opinion is secondary.
So I would only have a registry marriage and have my honeymoon in Madagascar or Mauritius no time to waste.
