We learned romance and proposal from Oyibo but their marriage has 70% divorce rate. Go figure! Our people have even added "kneeling down" to propose and they wonder why marriages barely last in recent times. Imagine the deep psychological impact on a woman seeing a whole chief kneeling down in front of her like a kid. The respect is automatically diminished mentally. The dilution of the marriage institution started with the importation of some unnecessary Oyibo cultures into Nigerian marital institutions. It will only get worse as soon as Gen-Z start.

Na poor ppl dey do" baby I love you you are the only boxers in my wardrobe I can't live without you will you marry Me? If you get money you no go dey talk toomuch na the woman go dey do all the talking...na her go even propose

So I have some men Who acted ahead of me...😂😂😂

It's how it should be.

Since our men started kneeling down, Nigeria is now Amongst the countries with highest Divorce rate..
Some things are spiritual..Becareful not use your own hand put off your Light.

Zee world, Korean, and and Latin America soap operas are confusing some women into thinking "romance" should always look like what is acted out on tv, and it's making them dissatisfied with their livea.

Wisdom!

It is very unfortunate to see this generation of Gen Zees getting misled by this model of Western/Hollywood concepts of dating and marriage. How on earth can you use what you watch on TV as a template for a marriage proposal in an African setting? I despise men who get down on their knees to ask a woman's hand in marriage as though she's the one doing him a favor by marrying her. The man did the right thing jare. A simple text can suffice

A real igbo man will not kneel down to propose. That's not because we don't value or love the woman but because we kneel only to God

Disgusting, arrogant, inhumane creatures. Very useless state that should be razed down. Whatever.

It's not about Igbo man or their culture. Kneeling down to propose to a woman is very alien to African culture in general.

I want to do the first step when I come to Nigeria...... that line makes the difference

Your moniker is "Brain" and this is your deduction

Whats the relativity between being wealthy and being traditional?


So Davido and few other celebrities that did romantic proposal arent as rich as these guys right?

I applaud those men for being traditional, I would do same too but your deduction is a fallacy

Don't you think he's somehow right, from the above comments from women after her post. They all accepted their hubby's unromantic approach according to them cuz most of them are wealthy

Funny posts. I proposed to my wife in my seating room.

What matters most is the marriage itself. Every other thing na serere

mannobi:
Who told this one it's a must to buy ring knee down before you marry a woman? If you want to marry oyinbo culture collect Canada visa. In a time many white people are now doing African wedding/engagement this one is looking for romantic oyinbo style.

Let us also remember that taking the surname of your husband isn't african culture. But you guys won't see that one.

This kind marriage na him dey last pass #Justsaying

Thats f*cking romantic. No side talks. Serious n straight.

He fit dey romantic d way u want make u still turn him down. Guy doesn't wanna waste English. I'm proud of that man.. No senseless kneeling, no senseless rings and flowers.

No mind am.
She no tell the cost of both traditional wedding, bride price n church wedding.
Let her tell us what that igbo man spent n we shall know if he's not romantic.

Honestly this is the best way.
That man is serious and not doing it for Instagram or WhatsApp.

None of my bloodline knelt down to propose to their wives and I would not be an exception. How can you just publicly SURPIRE somone to marry you? Alien culture.

She should know him well enough when he assure her that "we are in this together". No need for acting and WhatsApp statues.

I no sure say I do any formal proposal for my wife sef. We just found ourselves preparing to go see her people, because while dating, we were already like husband and wife. All these romantic proposals these days and the marriage collapses within months is nonsense. Real men don't have time to play 😀

You should have told him that you re rejecting his proposal, make you quick sabi say you re replaceable.

How a man proposed is not an indicator of if he will treat u right or not. They can propose on the moon or on the phone or send their uncles it don't mean shit.

They should have said no that the man was not romantic na! See person dey complain say food no sweet after finishing d plate n licking plate n fingers. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

These are men!
The Pete Edochie type.

With ring in hand, sitting comfortably facing the lucky lady...we fit run am?


95% of men that kneel proposing marriage are simp.


Strong men don't kneel.

Ask all the women that their men didn't kneel to propose marriage.
90% of them are stayed married decades later.

Of course, he’s her blessing… 😊

If Una see how marriages take happen for Bible, no man or woman go dey stress each other!

Isaac & Rebecca
Ruth & Boaz

Etc...

I love romance sha.
Even though I haven't received any proposal, I love private ones!

Marry well; that's what matters . The manner of proposal is nothing, if there is no peace in the marriage.

My elder brother was just in the sitting room with his then fiancé (now wife). He just casually asked her "Babe, I think we should move this relationship to marriage stage. What do you think?".
My father didn't bend the knee, my brother didn't kneel, I will not embarrass my bloodline. Woman wey love you and wants to be "Mrs" will not even remember the leg you used to kneel or walk.
