“Any man kneeling down to propose to a woman is ‘finished’ – Brekete Family host, Ahmed Isah reveals what men should do instead
Brekete Family anchor, Ahmed Isah has said it is wrong for a man to kneel down while proposing to a woman.
He said any man guilty of doing such is ‘finished’ because he is sending a message that he is not in charge of the home.
The show host popularly called Ordinary President, said it is not part of African culture and tantamount to the woman marrying the man instead of vice versa.
Isah stated this during his show as he explained further how a woman is placed before a man who went on his knee to ask for her hand in marriage.
In reaction, simply_adaaeze wrote; Everything is about ego for these men. Taking a knee for the woman you want to marry has several deep meanings. This is a woman that will sacrifice her body, health and probably life to give you a legacy and going on one knee is your problem. Sha stay far away from me with that mindset……

amb_oyedokun; Is it African to wear suit? Or white gown? I even think it is not African to drive a car, we have horses and elephants. But are these things to do… we do them to enhance our living and add colors to our lifestyle .. What’s wrong with that
emmis244; True talk💯….I wonder how some men kneel down with no shame asking a woman to be ur wife😂
afroomedia; In Yoruba culture the man will lay in the ground for his his wife and their family to ask for her hand in marriage. So this man is totally confused. Speak about your own culture. Don’t lump all African culture together

In related news, a UK-based social advocate identified as Bianca Wamu has questioned men’s decision to propose to their woman in public.
She said the act of kneeling down during with a ring and organising a public proposal are both wrong.
Bianca explained that when a man kneels to ask for his woman’s hand it is not right because he is only supposed to kneel when he is surrendering to God.
The woman further said that doing it in public is equally bad because it is putting the woman under pressure to accept his proposal.
Taking to Twitter, Wamu wrote; “Men, why do you have to KNEEL down in PUBLIC in the name of PROPOSING to a WOMAN? As if that’s not enough, you’re forcing her to say YES! Save yourself from this embarrassing moments. The only time you should kneel down is when surrendering your problems to God!”

In other news, Popular Nollywood actress, Sandra Okunzuwa, shared a painful experience that made her despise men for a long time.
In a recent interview with The Sun, the screen diva discussed her traumatic experiences with men and how she overcame the trauma.
She said the experience made her hate men for a while, but she has now healed and moved on.
“Sexually abused as a kid? Yes. Mental health victim? Yes. In the society we live in, people don’t talk about mental health issues; they expect you to visit your pastor and you will be alright. As an actor, it is not easy. First, you will have to embody the life of different characters and personalities, the good, the bad and the terrible.
Despite what you are going through personally, you have to wear a smile and keep entertaining people because that is what people expect from you. I think there should be a special therapist for entertainers, because it is not easy. Giving out joy to people and lacking where to fill up from. Most people are broken; they’re carrying about baggage from the past, if you don’t talk about it so you can get help, you will keep carrying it about until it destroys you. By sharing your problems with your partner, you can get help.
Lastly, being traumatized isn’t a spiritual issue; it is a mental issue that needs a therapist. I will get married to my perfect partner someday. Before, it (the sexual abuse) kind of made me resent men, but I have healed from it and moved on. I am a lot better now.” She said.
“We can’t normalize fornication and then demonize adultery. Most fornicators are adulterers in training” – Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo preaches – YabaLeftOnline
Popular relationship coach, Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo, has averred that there was no difference between adultery and fornication.
In a series of tweets, Pst. Kingsley stated that both behaviors were abnormal as it involves sleeping with partners you aren’t married to.
He wrote;
“We can’t normalize fornication and then demonize adultery They are one and the same, just Seperated by words or a signature What most people don’t know is that your mind can’t draw the line between the two Most fornicators are adulterers in training Even in scripture they are mentioned as same thing and used interchangeably The biggest deceit of this generation is the belief that they can get away with one and avoid the other God has not called us to celibacy but to sexual purity, anyway that is a different thread In closing let’s follow God’s advice irrespective of who is doing the opposite, man will NEVER be wiser than God Fornication is having sex with someone you are not married to, same thing with adultery”
Controversial Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu, has criticized his colleagues, Nancy Isime and Peter Okoye for their roles in the trending Netflix series, Shantytown.
Taking to his Instagram account he shared a video querying the need for Nancy Isime’s nudity and why Peter Okoye, a singer was given a movie role.
According to him, the entire production of the movie was sub par and not worth the hype.
In his words;
“So after all the Hype on Shanty Town, I finally sat down to #watch and I was so confused, it was a glorified ASABA movie, the story line was so uninteresting and a little bit more like our regular ASABA movie, only difference was it super high quality cinematography and advanced better production. When exactly did Peter of PSQUARE turn Actor? Nancy showing unnecessary body is more confusing, Walahi some #Yoruba movies have better story line than this, Na all Hype, and this is why E go TEY before Nollywood go smell OSCAR #Awards because we not ready to be extraordinary in our story telling, imagine in 2023, we are bringing out this?
