“Marriage Is Not By Force” – Kanayo O. Kanayo
Kanayo O. Kanayo has described as “emotional blackmail” the practice by “boys” who kneel down to propose marriage. The actor insists to tie the knot is not by force.
The Nollywood veteran actor had earlier addressed on his Instagram page, marriage proposal norms in the context of Africa and African subcultures. Many agreed with him that the practice of kneeling is alien to Nigerians.
After his address, Kanayo O. Kanayo wrote on his timeline;
“Thanks for joining me in the discussion. SAY NO emotional blackmail by boys kneeling on the street proposing marriage. #marriagenobebyforce”.
If you recall, Pete Edochie had also insisted that men who kneel to propose are “idiots.” He came under heavy criticism for his statement. He said:
“We are trying to copy white people, right? I believe in the sacrosanctity of our culture, the essence and the core of our culture. The white man kneels down to propose to a girl.
“You know what it means? The girl takes over the family. This is why whenever you disagree with your wife overseas, you are kicked out and the wife takes the house.
“As a young man, you should be in charge of your destiny. Kneeling down for a woman makes you a fool. Kneel down before your wife and I’ll sympathize with you when she takes over the home.”
