WEDDING CHANNEL AFRICA

Popular Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo says it is wrong for an African man to kneel while proposing to a woman. During a live session on his Instagram on Tuesday, August 18, the actor supported previous views of veteran actor, Pete Edochie, condemning the act of men kneeling while proposing. According to Kanayo O. Kanayo, it is an “un-African” thing to do and is an “Instagram lifestyle” that is not part of our culture.

He said, “I’m an African and I stand with Pete Edochie on what he said. It is un-African today to kneel down to propose to a woman. I’m an African to that level. Like we always preach it is not all you see on TV that you copy. It is an Instagram lifestyle. It doesn’t stop you from living it. Live it the way you want. We are not also saying you must live with us in our stone age.Because when we talk about this, some people who think they are more intelligent than us tell us we are coming from the Stone Age. Don’t worry, live your technology age but it is not part of our culture.”

His statement comes months after fellow veteran actor, Pete Edochie, initiated a controversy on social media earlier this year after he aired his views on the same matter saying that men who kneel to propose to women are fools and had referred to the act as a taboo.
