The respected actor, frowned at the level by which Africans especially young people of today are adopting the ways and policies of the Europeans, thereby rubbishing our tradition and culture. Kneeling to propose to a woman is white people’s culture because women dominate there and have more right than men, it is not the African man’s ways.
The actor whitewashed African men who kneel down to propose to their would-be wives all in the name of love. He said by so doing, you’re giving the woman power over you, thereby making her the head of the marriage. He went on to remind us that, in the traditional way of things, it is a woman who kneels to give drink to a man to show her loyalty, humility and total submission to the man and that’s the way it should be.
In his words, ... "I didn’t kneel to propose to my wife and we’ve stayed 50years in our marriage, I took my time to woo her, when it’s time to settle down, I asked if she’ll marry me and that was it. He went on to give account of how the Whites came to Africa pretending to be archeologists but little did we know they came to destroy our culture and trade us".
Mtcheeewwww.....see talk
ReplyDeleteIt's his culture and tradition he is defending, as he should, but he dint have to rubbish another man's tradition in the process.
DeleteI still love him.

This is a very myopic view if he really said this. He will go down in infamy after all the respect we accorded him his entire life. Shit scressful bruh
ReplyDeleteNo lie to what Pete said, think deeply before you write post.
DeleteYou don't have to hate him for this. He is an old man. Almost 80 years. In his time, it was a taboo. He is already too old to accept some things. Abeg no vex again. Besides, he is a core African old man.
DeletePride prolly made you not do that during ya time Sir. Not that it's wrong abeg.
ReplyDeleteYou guys should humble yaselves to us for once. Lol
Tell him. Mtcheeeew mtcheeeew mtcheeeew
Delete😩, can see you both are kids. Research and try understanding is points before posting a comment.
DeleteHe is right!!!
Deletethat is the Whiteman way,but everything is changing in time.We Africans have adopted a lot of things from the whites that in more years to come our traditions and cultures will not be known by the future generations.
Okay we will both kneel or stand then or he throws the ring while I play goal keeper and catch it.
ReplyDelete😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 kukuma kill me
DeleteYou is a case study... Lol doing sir pete time is mama and papa style dey do... But this model time we have dogy style and slide horse....

To each his own
ReplyDeleteLive and let live
Of you want to lie on the floor to propose, knock yourself out.
No one rule fits all
Correct
DeleteI would love to hear his wife's thoughts
DeleteOkay.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if i should start laughing 😂😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteOkay, come and beat us na.
ReplyDeleteI hope u r not wearing or using white man assessories
ReplyDeleteEdochie, loud it. some lazy youth will not understand the deep meaning of what you wrote. they are good in coping every thing from white people. look at them celebrating Halloween without knowing the meaning just to belong.
ReplyDeleteCopycat makes the world interesting.
DeleteHow many has oyibo copied from you, excited courtesy?
DeleteI don’t know if it’s a taboo, but I find it stupid and unnecessary. It is not romantic. It is not a show of love. It is simply a borrowed trend like Nigerians celebrating Halloween in Nigeria. Silly copycat mentality. Guys, if a woman thinks you must kneel to propose, consider that a massive red flag, you are about to marry a mindless drone
ReplyDeleteIt may not be romantic to u but its romantic to a whole bunch of us. Boring people everywhere
DeleteThen after the romance has passed, it is straight to divorce. I now see the reason woman love f**k boys then deep thinkers.
Delete😂😂😂 do as you wish and understand....doesn't mean the norm is right or wrong either
ReplyDeleteIt all don't matter
DeleteHe has refused to evolve,
ReplyDeleteThings fall apart has ended.
We are in a new era now.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
DeleteThings are still falling apart, ma. Only when it favors the ladies it's OK. How about splitting the bills as oyibo does?
DeleteAt Anon 12:19, and how do you know many of us are not splitting the bills? The so called ‘oyibio’ that splits the bill also splits responsibilities and chores. We go split bill oga go dey sit down dey wait for food without lifting his little finger. Please shift.
DeleteThis man is beginning to talk too much, I bet he isn't living in a hut like his ancestors lived. The world is moving, please move too.
ReplyDeleteWho are this ancestors self, they are people who acted based on their level of awareness and exposure.
That's his opinion, I'm indifference to how a man proposes. What i don't like is public proposal with cameras clicking.
ReplyDeleteI don't really care how a man choose to propose to the woman he wants to spend the remainder of his life with.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of public proposal, that I frown at. Every other way of proposal is acceptable by me.

ReplyDeleteLol @ giving the woman power over you. A human that can bleed at least three days every month for years, without passing out. A person that can either end your life or extend your lineage by getting naked. And this is before juju enter. Such a creature is who believe you get power pass cos you're a man. Chai!
ReplyDeleteSubmission is bringing yourself down. It's only someone that's your equal or superior who can bring themselves down for you. If they were already below you, whatever they're doing is not called submitting.
And humility or loyalty isn't by kneeling down. Ask politicians.
I hope you learn to apply humility not just preach it.
DeleteYour last line
DeleteSooo true
I really don't care if a man doesn't kneel to propose to me. I'm all about an expensive ring pls
ReplyDelete😂😂😂 Girl you know this !!!
DeleteWe might not agree on everything else but this right here is me 😂😂😂🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽
Whether he kneels or not doesn't really matter to me, so far he asks with a nice ring.
ReplyDeleteLmao! Kneel, stand, squat, throw the ring..it don't matter as long as there's a proposal. 😂😂
ReplyDeleteSome of us even went to pick it out ourselves. 😂😂
Old school man talking. We don't expect you to agree with it, you are not in our generation. Men like you are the ones that treat women like slaves. Preach to your old people and not the young ones.
ReplyDeleteThis post is getting the worst outta you, courtesy. Stop!
Delete☝️ can see you are an expert at old school man who treat woman has slave. Advice try not to generalize "Men like you".
DeleteCourtesy is telling the truth, sha! It's so nauseating the way these old men describe marriage. You would think the woman is some inanimate property, some mindless puppet to be controlled by a master. The whole concept of submission is archaic and demeaning to women. It doesn't matter how intelligent, accomplished or resourceful a woman is, she's still not good enough to make decisions in her household. Simply because she was unfortunate enough to be born with a vagina. It's so disrespectful! Then again, all these religious books were written for men and by men. So of course they work for men. Patriarchy is a disease.
DeletePeter Edochie is extremely sexist. Isn't he the one who said men shouldn't marry women from broken homes because women from broken homes won't know how to maintain a marriage? Mtcheew! Typical old Igbo man mentality!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I'm not married to an egotist who feels he's entitled to rule over me simply because he has a penis. I love and respect my husband and he loves and respects me. Nobody "rules" over anybody, nobody controls anybody. He respects me as his equal and I respect him as my equal. I try to treat him the way I want to be treated; with love, respect and dignity. We take decisions together all the time; no one's vote is bigger than the other. We do everything as a team; from housework to paying bills. When there are disagreements, we try to compromise for each other. Sometimes I compromise for him and sometimes he compromises for me. He is not perfect and neither am I. Our marriage isn't perfect either.
However, when I listen to typical Nigerian men describe marriage and their idea of what marriage should be, I bless God every single day that I didn't marry a typical Nigerian man. I thank God that I married a man who was raised by a strong and independent woman, who taught him to see his wife as an equal rather than a subordinate.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 be truthfully to yourself, nothing like equal in human affairs or behavior. Someone is the subordinate and someone is master. It can be either the woman being the master and man subordinate or vice versa. Please think deeply about this 👍
DeleteThanks my sister
Delete@Anon 12; 29 Not in an egalitarian partnership where all parties involved respect each other, understand each other and love each other. Some days, the woman will compromise for the man's wish to be done. Other days, the man will compromise for the woman's wish to be done. Truth be told in 2019, most households are egalitarian. The woman might say she is submissive, but when you go to the house, the man probably goes along with her decisions more than she goes along with his. Even the men screaming "I'm the head, I'm the head" compromise for their wives.
DeleteNa soo, Anambra men are very proud people, my husband proposed to me over the phone and we've been married for 11years now. Very proud man. Na prayers be em mumu button. Once I get on my knees, he go dey very loyal.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what Okonkwo in Things Fall Apart would say. 😂
ReplyDeleteIt's demonic.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with you sir but it's your opinion and I respect that. Marriage for me goes beyond how the man stood or knelt to propose
ReplyDeleteAfter all the kneeling, women still get beat up like dogs and goats. God forgive I kneel b4 any woman, especially Naija women. Copying everything is what they are good at..
ReplyDeleteThat's an eyes opening reminding information and advice, I took it, but how would I propose to my wife to be?.
ReplyDeleteNigerians can copy anything. We forget we have a culture. Now what does our culture say? A South African man would not kneel down to propose to his fiancé. They know their culture. We forget we are Africans. Always quick to jump on the bandwagon.
ReplyDeleteLOL the same South African men whose only claim to fame is raping and beating women to death? Those are your role models? It's obvious you have no respect for women. Keep copying South Africans!
DeleteThe media is deceiving you
DeleteI will NEVER kneel down to propose to anyone neither will I do any public place proposal. Anyone in relationship with me with this expectations is not matured enough to marry me. After all the public display of affection, what happens? Chronicle of a BV follows one year later.
ReplyDelete🙌 Twale Sir!!!

ReplyDeleteIn fact this is one of the reason I hate modern ladies.
ReplyDeleteThey enjoy watching movies thinking that is how life should be..
If you think Peter is wrong for saying so, why kneeling down to present a drink to the husband during traditional marriage by the women to show her loyalty, humility and respect to the husband not being aborted in Africa? You guys should better take the wise words and stop that
