Facebook Storm Over Caution To Nigerian Men Against Kneeling To Propose
By Gideon Ayeni
In a thought-provoking statement, Nelson Igboke, the son of the late HRH Ezeogo Igboke Ewa, a former Ebonyi monarch, has cautioned men against kneeling to propose marriage to their partners.
Nelson shared his perspective on Facebook, suggesting that such a gesture symbolizes a transfer of authority from the man to the woman, albeit unknowingly.
Nelson Igboke, whose father was tragically killed by gunmen on February 27, 2023, expressed his viewpoint on social media. He stated, “Once you kneel to engage a woman or on your wedding day, that’s the day you submitted your authority as a man to her unknowingly; such women don’t make good wives.”
The caution to men against kneeling to propose has sparked discussions about traditional gender roles and perceptions of authority within relationships. While opinions on this matter vary, Nelson’s perspective sheds light on how cultural norms can influence modern expressions of commitment.

@Igboke Rebecca: Mentality of Ebonyi people, they are too proud and they even have nothing, ingnorant people everywhere

Kneeling down to engage a woman is a sign of humility from the man..cause e no easy..many men have been up to her ND she decided to accept u..pls be my wife…there is no big deal on this abeg
