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.

Ole! (the Yoruba name for thief). At exactly 5:00 am, a guy who was wearing a mask was seen darting across the corridors.

The porters were informed immediatel
