WATCH: “What is Wrong with a Woman Proposing to a Man?” – Former ‘Mr Nigeria,’ Emmanuel Ikubese, Airs His Opinion
Popping the million dollar question, “will you marry me,” is traditionally viewed as the man’s role in any relationship. As traditional values are gradually changing in this modern era, would it be out of sorts to see a woman pop the question?
When this question was thrown at the former Emmanuel Ikubese, former Mr. Nigeria in a chat with Hip TV, he asked, “if a lady proposes to a man, will she also go and see the man’s parents, pay his groom price?
He then concluded by saying ladies shouldn’t turn the Bible upside down, but they should allow their man find them, propose to them, take them to see his parents and do all the necessary things that is to be done, to make her his wife.
“I do not think it is right for a lady to propose to a man. Common! If you propose to a man, are you to see his parents?, pay the groom price? Let us don’t turn the bible upside down.
Let us follow the bible on what the bible says let your man find you propose to you, take you to see his parents, pay the bride price and all of those things that is supposed to be done until you become his wife.”
Emmanuel further said that a lady can never propose to him.
“It will never happen. Except she wants to propose to be my friend.”

This is coming after a Nigerian woman was left devastated after she made a public proposal to her boyfriend at the Ikeja mall and got turned down.
In the viral Twitter video posted by one EnekemGreg recently, the lady was seen kneeling with a ring in a hand as she gestured to the man to accept the proposal.

The man, who seems embarrassed, declines the proposal and, after what seems like a second thought, goes close to her and helps her get up.
One would have assumed that he was ready to accept the proposal but instead, whispered into her ear and walked away.
Another lady who weighed in on the incident claiming she’s the lady’s friend, revealed that the man whispered to the lady’s ear saying, “I am already married”.
”This lady is actually my friend, but not close friends and we just spoke on phone… She said the reason she cried bitterly after her boyfriend rejected her marriage proposal in public was that when he came close and whispered into her ears, he actually said he was already married.
My question is why are men this wicked and heartless? Tufiakwa,” she wrote on her Facebook page.
