Why I didn’t kneel to propose to my wife – Yul Edochie reveals

Son of veteran actor Pete Edochie, Yul Edochie, who is also a successful actor has stated why he didn’t kneel to propose to his wife.

Recall, Pete had said that any man who knelt to propose to a woman was a compound buffon.

According to Yul, he didn’t kneel to propose to his wife after all.

Yul Wrote:

“I didn’t kneel because I didn’t have to. My wife didn’t ask me to kneel and propose to her. I got married many years ago, 2004 or so. But I will tell you what I think about kneeling to propose.To an extent, my father is right. It is not our culture. It is foreign.

“But it is actually no big deal. It is not that serious. Whether you kneel or lie down to propose, the woman who would leave you, would. The one who won’t respect you, won’t respect you. The one who would love you, respect you and stick with you, will surly do regardless of how you proposed.

“My father is 73 years ago, much respect to him, but you see, he is speaking from his own era. He lives in that time when they don’t need to kneel to propose,” he said.

He continued,

“Any young man who gets down on his knees to propose to a girl is not just an idiot, he is a bloody fool. The reason I am saying this is simple– we try to copy white people.

“The white man kneels down to propose to a girl. You know what it means? The girl takes over the family. That is why whenever a man disagrees with his wife overseas, he would be kicked out and his wife would take over the house.“If you call that civilization; it is alright. Kneel down before your wife and I would sympathise with you when she takes over the home.”
