You are a compound Buffoon- Pete Edochie slams Nigerian men who kneel down to propose.
Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie has kicked against the idea of Nigerian men getting down on their knees to ask women to marry them. In a video circulated on social media on Thursday, the 72-year-old actor could be heard saying, “Any young man who gets on his knees to propose to a girl, is not just an idiot, he’s a bloody fool, a compound buffoon”. The revered actor said in the video that the act is a replication of the foreign culture that translates to the woman taking over the family. “We are trying to copy white people, right? I believe in the sacrosanctity of our culture, the essence and the core of our culture,” he said. “The white man kneels down to propose to a girl, you know what it means? The girl takes over the family. This is why whenever you disagree with your wife overseas, you are kicked out and the wife takes the house. As a young man, you should be in charge of your destiny. Kneeling down for a woman makes you a fool”. The ‘Lionheart’ star also said he
