Reality TV star Neo Akpofure has stirred discussion by declaring that he would happily go down on one knee when proposing marriage.

In a post on his social media (X), Neo defended the act of kneeling, emphasizing that to him, it represents respect, love, and commitment—not weakness. He wrote:

“If you like, don’t kneel to ask your woman to marry you — that’s for you. Me, I will kneel with happiness and a big smile on my face. And if that bothers you, I pray you don’t heal from that headache it causes you.”

His statement comes amid ongoing debates on whether kneeling during a proposal is romantic, outdated, or culturally inappropriate. Some fans praise Neo for embracing humility in love; others feel kneeling is a foreign custom that doesn’t align with traditional African norms.
