Pete Edochie trends after Ugo Nwokolo's proposal
Following the proposal, veteran actor Pete Edochie trended on social media over an old video of him kicking against the idea of Nigerian men getting down on their knees to ask women to marry them.
The ace 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”.
He stated that the act was a replication of the foreign culture that translated to the woman taking over the family.
