Legendary Nollywood star Kanayo O. Kanayo doesn’t believe in the notion of African men going down on their knees to propose to a lady.
Kanayo echoed the same words from another movie veteran, Pete Edochie, who had been criticized heavily for expressing the same views.
Pulse reports that Kanayo says it’s not the culture of Africans to kneel while proposing to a woman, insisting that it was an act taken from the western world.
His words:
“I’m an African and I stand with Pete Edochie on what he said. It is un-African today to knee 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.”
