How so?! In what book??! What unwritten code??!... But, standing tall to serve your husband and also greet him is not disrespectful??!...

Making a mountain out of a molehill will not help anyone!!! Let's stick to what is true and sensible. Any form of proposal which suits the parties is fine... At the end, it's the sincerity of the process that truly counts..

Just imagine what you are saying... So, man wey get knee issues or break leg should not propose till he is well enough to kneel... Hehehehe!!!

He could have just gone to her village and do the needful, but he decided out of his own freewill to propose publicly, then he should have followed the engagement rule of kneeling down and save himself the embarrassment.

I watched the full video on Instagram. She rejected him and walked away while he and gis friends were begging her..

That was a different video

Shey ko si?

i just wanted to be sure so as not to use ale and alomo for nothing

Nuttella:
I am not a child for your info. If you are dating someone that is not ready to marry, or that wants to pursue her masters, or that is cheating on you, won't you know before you go wasting your hard earned money to buy ring to embarrass yourself. Spare me the lecture, those are the core reasons.

Oh wise one, so you mean all guys and girls ar magicians that would automatically know who's cheating or not? You might not be a kid but your reasoning is flawed, back in 2007 in final year, I basically saw two guys heartbroken becuase they belived the girl they've been dating for 2 to 4 years will automatically accept their proposal but SHOCKER, one girl wanted to go for masters outside the county and the other said her mama did not want her to marry someone from Ondo..... . Like I said, YOU KNOW NOTHING CHILD!

Nuttella:
Standing up to propose is disrespectful.

The primary duty of a man is to Love and provide for his wife and kids while while the duty of the woman is to RESPECT her husband. Tankio

NerdyRudeGyal:
It would've taken him just a few seconds to kneel. He should've knelt.

When a man finds a woman he loves and knows her worth, nobody will tell him before he kneels to propose. Heck, he'll even kiss the ground she's standing on.

Because na she create heaven and the earth

Nuttella:

Gone to which village??! What are you on about?!.. Who begins the process of Introduction without getting the consent of the lady via proposal first??!..

...And, what rule of engagement??! The only documented rule of engagement is for the military!!! Where exactly is this one documented??! Who introduced it??! Who made it mandatory??! In what year??!...

You really need to stop trying too hard to push a nonexistent point!!!

Angelfrost:


Exactly... Same way, standing tall and getting accepted is also a key part of life and the path to a happy matrimony!!!

So, we can both agree that any way the proposal comes is okay, and should not form the basis of a long lasting union. Thank you!!!

She think say she get sense

Very well, you are right but what does this have to do with standing up to propose?

FuckThaMod:

Egbon, Don't blame her... Too much telenovelas and Instagram videos!!!

Reality will eventually do the needful!!!

With all of these extras, no need man just throw the ring I’ll catch it

Nuttella:

You wrote that it's disrespectful;so I wonder how? With the way that girl was shouting, you think that one got one respect in her?

Marriage is beyond kneeling down to propose. I never proposed myself. I met my woman, went to see her parents with my people, collect list and marry. If to kneel down and get proposed to is still what's important to her, she's not yet matured for marriage.

Yoruba men prostrate for their bae. Their friends also join doing the same

Angelfrost come and read o, he didnt propose but he went ahead to pay brideprice. Shey you see what I've been saying since.

Nuttella:

Would he have gone to see her parents without the go ahead or green light from her??! Would the parents accept bride price without their daughter's consent??!...

That consent or green light is the defacto "accepted proposal"!!! Further questions??!

Angelfrost:


Good luck to both of them... A wise lady would know that it's better to have a loving man sincerely and honestly propose standing upright than a cheating fraud kneel or genuflect in proposal with no intention of ever treating her right...

Kneeling or bowing doesn't show true love. Any con artist can kneel to get what he wants.

Stay objective to the post. Don't derail.

There's nothing to show that a man standing to propose is automatically loyal and won't cheat.

Are we not saying the same thing?

I'm actually far more objective than you are...

If there's nothing to show that a man proposing while standing will be a good husband, it equally goes that adoption of a kneeling posture guarantees neither...

There's absolutely no correlation between a man's posture during proposal and how good a husband he would be in the union!!! Kneeling and standing are postures that can be adopted by anyone whether good, bad or ugly...

Be a good man, propose to your woman and treat her well... Kneeling or standing upright is quite secondary and mundane to the point. Judging a man based on his posture during engagement is not only myopic but laughable!!!

This is my stand!!! This is as objective as it gets!!! Thank you.

Nuttella:

Well, you are the one making a 'Big deal' out of the proposal process, not me!!!

I said proposal have rules you follow which is kneeling down.

Nuttella:

You see my point??!... What rules??! Who wrote them??! What year??!... When was the particular posture for both individuals agreed upon??!...

You judge the woman's decision and not his...

My stance is they both have ego issues. I just like tge fact tgat she knows what she wants. I also like that he stayed true to his belief.

I hope your stance will be same if a woman refuses to kneel during traditional marriage?

Brandonx:
A man is doing you a favour and you want him to kneel down. He's saying you are now my responsibility and they want him to kneel.
As a man he's going to be;
A husband
A father
A brother
A plumber
A Technician
In fact when anything goes wrong in the house the first thing they do is call the man even of its a minor thing they could easily figure out.

Plumber ni, technician kor

Abegi like the woman doesn't do shiit or what? It's a shared responsibility something..

To the topic, if you like kneel o, fly o, sit o, stand o, swim o, lay on the floor o, your cup of moin moin. Just make sure I say Yes

Since she's okay with it, what is the matter about that?

Same way I'm gonna propose to my gal. Ain't goin down on any knee dats for suckers, Pussy niggas

Reallt

weIMPORT:
A video of a man proposing to his girlfriend without going down on his knees has surfaced on the internet.

The man who appears to be wealthy was gallantly on his feet while proposing as against the usual culture of kneeling observed my most men.

His gesture has stirred up a debate on social media with many users being of the opinion that he has not proposed the right way.

Do you think he did well not going down on his knees?

For proper Igbo persons, must there even be a proposal?? Is it even necessary??
If you are serious that you want to marry the lady, then take the bold step of going for introduction.
And then, whether the lady would agree or not??
Like How?
Just tell her “Me and my people are coming to see your people probably next month”..
Habbaaa!!
If she said No, then she will give her reasons., and both of you will discuss her reasons very well.
But for proposals, if she says No for no reason and walks out on you, you have no time to ask why...
Na Waa for this new trends sef.

Exactly the same... Traditions and practices don't translate to harmony in matrimony.
