Why It Is Wrong For An African/nigerian Man To Kneel Down And Propose To A Lady by Factfinder1(m): 11:22pm On Oct 26, 2020
As shared on Facebook by Emmanuel KINGS

In the USA, UK and other western countries where men kneel down to propose to a woman, they practically don't spend much money for the wedding, and they have a Welfarist government that subsidises family life; while in Nigeria the burden is solely on the innocent husband.

A woman who expects you to kneel to propose to her before she say Yes, is either not ready for marriage or not in love with you.

It is wickedness and entitlement for a woman to expect an innocent man who bought ring with his money to kneel down to propose to her, use his money to marry her, and still bring her into the house he built/rented with his money. Ingratitude!

A Nigerian woman who is lucky to be chosen out of many women roving about in the streets, should see such a man as her redeemer and Prize, she must kneel to accept his proposal.

Kneeling to propose to a lady is simply a dramatic display of what they see or heard as a result of peer pressure and bandwagon.. And dont forget its usually makes a good video on social media platform...Ooh that exciting feelings of likes and following. Nothing more to it , it is a recent trend not so much regarded some years back

Arrrrrrrh

It will be very hard for mind set to change about not kneeling down to propose when I want to marry.

I don't See my self doing that. I will simply ask her, "will you spend the rest of your life with me?" In a private place if she say yes I pull my rings and put it on her,, that's all!!

I have nothing against people that kneel to propose
Everything is about choice and opinion
But Me no fit
It is not everything we will just copy from them white folks
When no be say I no fit think on my own....
Even I will tell my future partner I no fit kneel to propose not because I'm proud but I just hate doing everything people are doing when I no be zombie.

If my man knelt to propose to me I would kneel down to his level face to face and give him my answer.
I dnt see the fuss in kneeling. I think it's more romantic if you're cuddling on the couch n he pops the question or if we are kissing n cuddling or sumn and he asks me or I wake up in the morning n he kisses me n asks me. I will prefer that anyday.
Also no big fancy weddings n wasting tons of money. Something small n personal n romantic with close family n friends.
Also I dnt want no mansion n riches from him I prefer just him n I and have our children n a cosy nice little home n just a happy life full of love n laughter.
Those are things that matter to mecheesy

i CANNOT kneel down to marry any woman. Not possible. If u like fine pass angel, na u sabi. Just like 2Pac said, My mama didn't raise no fool. I didn't do it before, won't do it now and will never do it. If I marry 10 times, those 10 times will be on the 2 feet God gave me. My sons will never do it too because i'm not raising fools. The 1st and only girl that I ever knelt down for, not a public celebration oh, but still public as per pipu still c me but i no send cuz I knew wot I was gunning after, cuz I decoded her parole and she was forming Mrs Sweep Me Off My Feet Before Anything Will Happen. I was like ok na, na banana dem dey take catch monkey. After forming I can kneel down to propose sef with the ring in my hand, she juz melt, LMAO, I accidental found her mumu button while goofing around but she thought I was serious. She was like I should get her a real ring, not using my own ring. I was like na small demonstration na, juz so u know that I can climb Mount Everest for u grin.

After dat day, she spread her legs like TV antenna, I bomb d place with my nuclear missile grin, her whole system scatter, na she come dey beg upandan for more Vitamin D. Las las after catching enuf cruise, I dumped her sorry ass, changed sim card straight. If u come at me with a mentality or mindset that I must kneel before proposing to you, no problem, na USE & DUMP be your name. Uno even dey fear, u get mind say make man with bear bear dey kneel dan for u, cuz u be Empere$$ of the Galaxy na. Mtchwwwww! No time to check time.

That practice of kneeling to propose to women is not our way, never was. It came with westernization. As an Igbo man and also like the man and a half that he is, Jasper will never go on his knees to propose to a woman.

How is that hilarious to you? Is she married to you? Just like you are doing in the MBA FX thread, are you about to discourage any potential act of building a relationship and finding a wife/husband? Is it another ponzi?

A mere dramatic display of respect,loyalty,obedient and pledged allegiance attributed to knighthood. In our Nigerian culture, we kneel as a symbol of resect or greetings to the elderly. will you choose to stand tall as an african rooted in her culture or choose to kneel to immitate the Western culture of a supposed gentleman?

Good. It's then clear that kneeling is out of place, so I see no reason.

Yeah. In such cases, it's clear we're goofing around for fun.
