ONLY IDIOTS KNEEL DOWN TO PROPOSE TO A WOMAN” — APOSTLE JOHNSON SULEMAN SAYS KNEELING IS NOT AFRICAN CULTURE

Apostle Johnson Suleman has sparked conversations with his views on marriage proposals, arguing that kneeling to propose is not part of African culture.

Speaking during a sermon, the cleric said he does not believe men should kneel while proposing to a woman, describing the practice as a foreign tradition adopted from Western culture.

“Only idiots kneel down to propose to a woman. It is not African. It’s a culture exported from the whites.”

According to him, if people choose to adopt customs from other cultures, they should also be willing to accept the consequences that may come with those cultures, including what he described as rising divorce rates.

Sharing his personal experience, Apostle Suleman said he did not kneel when he proposed to his wife.

Instead, he advised men to create a good atmosphere, sit down together, hold their partner’s hand and express their intentions without kneeling.

His remarks have since generated mixed reactions online, with some agreeing that kneeling is a cultural preference, while others see it as a respectful gesture with no bearing on the success of a marriage.
