I think I'm beginning to understand certain things. I have made about three proposals (without a ring) to three different ladies and yet they didn't accept my proposals. If I ask them what the problem is, they will say it's nothing.

But the problem with me is that, I once proposed to a lady with a ring and she accepted but we later didn't marry and she never returned my ring.

I just decided that my future wife will have to accept my proposal first and even at I will get the engagement ring when am buying the wedding ring. No more surprises.

LOL.

Only in Naija is this even possible.

anyway Im not gonna even read the thread as Im sure they will be many akuse that will defend this garbage.

I wsh persin well.

And how many percent of the non-naija, expensive ring, and western proposals last?

how come the Naija weddings that have a ring are still thriving?

You need to stop with the illiterate logic. Im sure the are plenty little girls that will fall for such daft excuses so they wont be seen as "gold-diggers" on the almighty Nairaland.

when it comes to expense, Nigerians remember they are africans, for everything else they go back to kissing white people yansh

Kolomental lunatics.

once again the title of thread is obviously for WOMEN. You homos need to stop replying in feminine threads. It's embarrassing.

He wan book flat with post-dated cheque. Naija sha. cunning.

I can smell some Gay's in da House.

@thiefofhearts:
To answer your question:
Those marriages didn't fail because there are lots of other reasons why marriages work or fail and RING is not one of them! we can discuse more on this topic when you get married, but for now there is really no reason to be rude so enjoy your thread!

Do you even know the meaning of thrive? I said why do the ones stiill THRIVE despite the presence of a ring?

Go back to school instead of following women around in their threads. Bloody adodi.

premedshow:

It's a cultural thing for the guy to put a ring on a woman's finger if he wants to get married to her. Every normal human being knows that so I would find it rather interesting if he doesn't,  or maybe he wants someone else to do that for him! I would wonder how serious the guy  would take me without a ring on my fingers, may be I would call it secondary school proposal!

colo mentality. I am not saying that putting a ring on a girl's finger does not symbolize engagement, but I would not take it so far as to say that "every normal human being" knows that it is a cultural thing for the guy to put a ring on a woman's finger. That practice finds its roots in western tradition, and diamond marketers pushed it to the fore for obvious reasons.

But don't sound like an illiterate by saying it is a cultural thing, as there are many cultures who do not engage in the western practice of putting rings on a woman's finger as a symbolism of engagement.

If he proposed to me with this vERSACE (not sure if it is) instead, then No P.

Your mum should have listen to your dad if you have one. Abortion would have done her good instead of having this thing called you! I skiped "didn't" fool

and that harlot you call a mother should have swallowed you like she does for the rest of her clients.


Phaggot!

I would tolerate it but he has to make it up to me later  

You can always tell the Igbo boys on the board. They always swarm around threads like this cos they're typical akuses who whine about anything that involves money plus they are utterly disgusting and rude. No wonder Igbo girls are now marrying Yoruba boys, even Hausa boys better than you.  

^^^Did an Igbo guy just break your heart? How many of them have you dated to come up with such assertion? Your posts are full of hatred, you need to tone down ok. This is just a forum and everybody is entitled to their opinion so you need to accomodate them too or move on instead of calling names and insulting people's mum.

Lol they are still using the same "abuse" since 2006. I dont date akatas and that is what yall are.

High Chief the fact that you would come after me and not that adodi with what he said about abortions (something that happens more in his wretched family) proves that you are a hypocrite so gtfo.

All, Please shut up. this is an open forum and until there are controls that allow you to lock down or restrict access, ANYBODY can pass comment.

Does the fact that you have the male paraphenalia mean that your brain will not register an instant opinion on seeing this title?

NLanders and the useless airs they put on.

Next time, state clearly: WOMEN ONLY and even then, expect a comment.

Dude I'm not reading your garbage so you can continue foaming at the mouth. Quit being a phaggot and stop arguing with women. Gosh, get a backbone and go run your mouth in Sports. This mess you are causing here is just embarrassing

I prefer the old way of proposals. I'm Ishan and we propose with beads.

^Cute but shouldnt it be more about what she wants?

I have seen worst.  A man i am supposed to get  in prison with  married to expects me to  pay for the registry and the  weding lol Though if he is ready for a marriage of convinience i will go ahead and get it over with hehe


i only choose to get married to make my african peeps happy.   

procreation is another reason. Wana see my mini me

Seems the main issue has been disregarded here.
The question i believe should have been how many nigerian guys propose maraige really.
The norm has always been that the girl either keeps asking the guy"when r u coming to see my people", or the guy wakes up one morning and tells her " lets go and see ur people". Inn between all this, no ring changes hands. Its the girl who eventually buys herself an engagment ring when she is sure she is "the one". Thats the naija way.

frankly, I feel its all protocol but since her emotions are important to me, I dont want to spend the next 50+ years hearing over the dinner table that I proposed without a ring.

But seriously why would a dude do that?

thats new. My assumption was that she keeps bugging him until he finally gathers some courage to go visit the parents. Comes back after the ordeal and THEN BUYS the ring for her. never tried it though. but thats what I'd prefer.
