Is It Wrong For a Woman To Propose?

A wedding is the union of two like-minded people in a committed relationship in which they share their life together and promise to help each other at all times. Before, the couple gets into wedded life, they go through the ritual of one proposing marriage to the other.

Traditionally and usually, it is the man that comes up with the proposal of wedding to the woman of his dreams. But, given the age of equality, the question arises whether it should always be the man that has to be the one that lays down the proposal of marriage.

In earlier times, it would have been perceived as ridiculous and totally out of place, if a woman would have proposed to the man she likes. It was a widespread belief that if a woman proposes marriage to a man, then she is desperate to get married. In today's scenario, when people's notions about many things have changed, this idea of the woman proposing would not be met with such perceptions.

Though not a common practice, it is not unheard of for a woman to propose to her man. It is also not uncommon, where a woman has proposed and the man has accepted the proposal.

Being in a society ruled by many traditions and customs, a woman proposing to her man may not sit well with many even in today's times. Therefore, a woman must give thought to many things before she sets off to do so. A woman should understand herself and her position first before she thinks of marriage. She should try and understand where she stands financially, whether she is really ready for marriage and then whether she is really ready to be married to this special person.

Once she has assessed herself and her standing towards marriage in general, and marriage to this person in particular, then she should try and analyze how a proposal for marriage coming in from her side would sound to him. If she feels that she could be successful without hurting his emotions and ego, it would be alright for her to go ahead and propose to him. If the man loves her and is ready to commit, then it should end up right.

If she feels that it may not be right for her to propose, the other alternative would be hint her man to know that she is ready to commit and take the relationship to the next level, if he were to propose to her.

Apart from the dilemma of whether or not to propose, the woman also fears rejection from the person she intends to marry. This should not be a hindering factor if the woman feels that she is ready for marriage and the person she intends to propose to be the right one for her. But, given the scenario, where the guy rejects the girl's offer, it is necessary to be rational and to give thought to the whole thing and to move on in life.

It is therefore, not a desperate and wrong thing for a woman to propose to the man of her dreams. But, it is essential to weigh all the pros and cons of doing so carefully, before setting foot in that direction.

Nigerian Comedian, Basketmouth writes on issues in Nigeria

He shared the message below on his Instagram page: As I am learning to stop complaining and get used to the electricity situation in my beloved Nigeria, i can't help but worry about other bigger problems facing my country at large. Once again a land already polluted with blood and oil is reported to be witnessing beheading by religious fanatics, murders by herdsmen, and bombing of oil pipelines by a supposedly impoverished and marginalised deltan posse, let's not talk about the Biafran agitators, kidnapping and robberies....confusion everywhere. I am an entertainer so i try to leave politics for politicians(cos i believe everybody should maintain dia own lane). However, I cant seem to understand why my beloved country will not intervene to help alleviate the sufferings and helplessness of its people. When the poor cry for help and are ignored, it can be a recipe for turmoil and when the rich also cry, can't afford to travel because flight tickets are out of their r

Andre 3000 shares photo of himself with his teen son

Seven Sirius Benjamin is the son of Outcast member Andre 3000 and First Son Erykah Badu. He was born in 1997. His parents dated between 1995 to 1999.  Badu’s story of meeting André is slightly muddled. “It was 1997,” she said during a Red Bull Music Academy talk in 2013. “My single came out Februrary 7th—‘On and On.’ I heard it in New York in a club and met André that night. No, that’s a year before. Let me back up. Two years earlier I met André at the club and they played the song ‘On and On.’ Two years later, Februrary 7th, ‘On and On’ came out on the radio. February 11th, I got pregnant.”
