Online personality Geh Geh has ignited widespread discussion after challenging conventional proposal practices. He contends that African men should not kneel when asking for marriage.
Appearing on The Honest Bunch Podcast, Geh Geh questioned the logic behind kneeling. He framed marriage as a favor men extend to women.
He explained his perspective:
“African tradition opposes men kneeling during proposals. You’re offering a woman a privilege. Kneeling while doing someone a favor contradicts reason.”
Geh Geh further argued that marriage primarily benefits women. He suggested men have limited need for formal unions.
“Men genuinely don’t require marriage. What essential purpose do women serve? Procreation remains possible without marriage. If I’m inviting you into my life voluntarily, kneeling becomes illogical.”
These remarks immediately triggered polarized reactions online. Nigerians voiced contrasting viewpoints about his statements.
“Geh Geh consistently shares provocative truths,” one commenter noted. Another responded: “Why focus on women if they’re unnecessary?”
The discussion continues across social platforms. Nigerians are examining proposal customs and Geh Geh’s motivations.
