Reality TV star and Big Brother Naija alum, Neo Akpofure, has weighed in on the ongoing debate about whether men should kneel when proposing marriage. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Neo made it clear that he has no problem kneeling before the woman he intends to marry. He described her as his “God-given helper” and the one who will carry his future generations, adding that kneeling is not begging but a sign of honor and commitment. Neo dismissed critics who see the act as unnecessary or demeaning, saying: “I will gladly kneel before the woman I will ask to marry me! If it looks like begging to you, IDC! That’s my helper God gave me, the one who will bring forth my generations to come. Everyone just setting ridiculous standards these days y’all enjoy.” His comment comes amid heated debates online, especially after a lady recently rejected a proposal because her man refused to kneel. While some argue kneeling is outdated, others insist it remains an important gesture of love and humility. Is kneeling during a proposal still necessary in today’s world, or is it just societal pressure? 5 Likes

Slaves do that no free born like me. Kneeling down before any body shows that the person is of higher authority over you. Imagine me kneeling down before a girl that I use 6-8 years senior.🤮🤮 It is too repulsive to think about it. Only genuflect to a higher being. 22 Likes |

Yeah Lets all pretend what individuals do does not affect generally the culture and mindset of a people. We are all free to do what we want. Our lives, our choices. But our choices have communal effect. We are shaping the mindset of the human race. What we refuse to break now will be a struggle for the next generation. Things like kneeling to propose, bride-price, religion of all kind racial divides and political enmity. 2 Likes |

Kneeling to propose to a woman doesn't make sense to me. The man is the head of the family, na the woman suppose kneel down during proposal then the man go support her get up if she accept........If she nor accept just leave her there waka comot. Men should stop embarrassing themselves with this useless kneeling stuff, it doesn't make you romantic but stew---pid! 10 Likes |

There is no scriptural backing for kneeling in marriage. Just as there's no backing for santa claus All this are designed by man. So if you're into it go ahead and if you're not down with it forget it. |

I will not kneel down to propose to a woman. I will not kneel down to propose to a woman I will not kneel down to propose to a woman. Abraham did not kneel down to propose to Sarah Isaac did not kneel down to propose to Rebecca Jacob did not kneel down to propose to Rachael. There is no where in the Bible where God in heaven commanded a man whom he created to be the head to kneel down to propose to a woman. My father did not kneel down for my mother when he wanted to marry her. Therefore, I will not kneel down. These "kneeling down" has deep Spiritual implications but men don't know. May God help you people indulging in it. 5 Likes |

You are only do that once in a life time because you are taking her away from her parent and family so it's your right to ask her nicely, respectfully and show how much you care and respect her so you kneeling do not show sign of weakness rather it's show how mature you are it's also show how commitment you are and to round it up it's it's tells how responsible you are to your family and community. |

Which of these girls is ready to kneel or bend as a sign of respect for the man when putting food on the table or giving her husband something? Which of them kneel or bend when collecting gifts from the husband. These are pure African traditional ways of respecting husbands or an elderly. And guess what, they have faded into the thin air because of civilisation. No modern day wife wants to do that. But they want the men to kneel proposing to them. As who? Does that stops them from cheating. Abi how many of them that their husbands knelt down to proposed to have been caught red handed by DNA. IT IS NOT EVERYTHING THE WHITE MAN DOES THAT MAKES SENSE. KNEELING TO PROPOSE IS ONE. 1 Like |
