Yul Edochie has reacted to a statement made by his father, veteran actor Pete Edochie, on men kneeling down to propose to a lady.
MyNigeria.com reported that Pete Edochie spoke in an interview against the act of men kneeling during wedding proposals.
He said, “Any young man who gets down on his knees to propose to a girl is not just an idiot, he is a bloody fool, a compound buffoon. We try to copy white people.
“{I believe in the sacrosanctity of our culture, the essence and the core of our culture. The white man knees down to propose to a girl. You know what it means, the girl takes over the family. This is why whenever you disagree with a wife oversea, you are kicked out and your wife takes the house.
“Young men who should be in charge of their destinies hand it over to women. That makes you all fools.”
Reacting to the information that love is the reason why men go down on their knees to propose, Edochie said
“I have lived with my wife for 51 years, nobody has said stop beating this woman.
“Kneel down before your wife, I will sympathize with you when she takes over the home” she said.
His son, Yul Edochie has now reacted to the statement made by his father with a funny meme which he captioned:
“When you are about to kneel down to propose and you see Pete Edochie behind you.”
