Facebook user, Angel Nwedo, shared photos which captured the moment the young lady was getting proposed to.
However, instead of the man going down on one knee to propose as is the norm, the lady was the one pictured on her knees as she accepted the ring from her man, wearing a big smile on her face.

It is no news that the Nigerian society is regarded as a patriarchal one, and this often reflects in our ideology about equality and what the position of women in society should be.
Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, is certainly one who embodies patriarchy and often speaks his mind regardless of whose ox is gored.
In a video that trended, he once again spoke about marriage proposals.
According to him, any man who kneels down to propose to a woman is a fool. Explaining his reasons, he stated that not only is it a borrowed practice from the western countries, kneeling down signifies handing one’s destiny over to a woman.
