What is it about over-excitement at a wedding proposal?

Wedding Proposals: A Big Suprise Or Just Poorly Done Acting.


Primarily, we can not deny that Africans approach to marriage defer from the western world or the Americans. 


Wedding expenses and cost is really not a thing common to none Africans but it's something African spend years saving or even going into debts for; spontaneous proposals isn't really our thing.


Our Fathers met our mothers via family matchmaking. Like, 

"Tolu, how's is work in Lagos? Okay when are you coming down for New Yam Fastival? We have found a girl for you."

"Tinuke, we have found a man for you. He is hardworking and blue blood." And blablabla


This is so unlike the 'Oyibos' who would meet at a cafeteria or on a bus and start dating.


 Dating doesn't always lead to marriage, you know. The "Oyibos" are more aware of this, so the proposal hits a surprise.


Hollywood movies have played a great role in the Afro-American civilisation. Thus, the introduction of marriage proposal.


Now, for Africans, does marriage proposal really hit that surprise?


Emeka and Nkechi can not deny that they have never talked about marriage. That Nkechi has never hinted on her ideal wedding guest, perhaps, her ideal mode and place of proposal.


With these few points of mine... I know you can tell this is a single pringle write up against all of you planning on a valentine's day proposal. It's totally okay, but stop this fake blush and just say "yes" and walk away. Nobody is giving you any Oscars.

By  Adetunji Oluwafemi The Great Ife Students’ Union on Monday, 3rd November 2024, held its planned inter-faculty debate for freshmen. The debate is part of the events that have been prepared for Fresher’s Week 2024. The event experienced a slight delay, as the venue was moved from the 1000-seater to Oduduwa Hall by the order of the school management, which requested that the initial venue be vacated because the office of the Vice President, responsible for the event, failed to seek permission before using it.

MOREMI HALL: A Tale of Night Stories: When Will It End? In the quiet corridors of Moremi Hall, a disturbing series of events has shaken the residents, raising questions about security and the unknown intentions of an elusive intruder.   It all started two weeks ago when the inhabitants of Moremi Hall were awoken to the cry of a lady, "Ole! Ole! (the Yoruba name for thief). At exactly 5:00 am, a guy who was wearing a mask was seen darting across the corridors. He was said to have stolen phones, and while he tried to escape, he was seen by some ladies who raised the alarm.   An eyewitness who will like to remain anonymous said he ran out of the kitchen and jumped down from the second floor to the ground. He sustained minor injuries, and to reduce the chase, he let go of the phones, which he had put in black nylon.   The Moremi residents were able to recover their phones, but he escaped through a gutter, and no one knows where he went. The porters were informed i...
