Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has sparked a heated discussion with his recent comments about marriage proposals. The actor, who is known for his bold opinions, took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle to advise men against the common tradition of kneeling down when proposing to women, calling the act “degrading.”
Yul Edochie’s Controversial Take on Marriage Proposals
In his post, Yul Edochie urged men to propose while standing, arguing that doing so would demonstrate confidence and pride. He stated, “If men know how stupid they look when they kneel to propose to a woman, they’ll never indulge in such crap. Never kneel to propose to a woman. Never. Stand proudly like the King that you are and propose to her.”
The actor went further, asserting that any woman who demands a kneeling proposal is not worth a man’s time. “If she says you must kneel down to propose to her or she leaves, let her go. Any woman who truly loves you will not watch you make a fool of yourself. Dump her. She doesn’t love you,” he added.

Yul’s comments quickly attracted a mix of reactions from the public. While some supported his stance, agreeing that men should not feel pressured into demeaning actions, others criticized him, suggesting that his advice might stem from personal experience, particularly his well-publicized marital issues.
