Pete Edochie being a respected actor and an elder doesn't mean that everything he says is factual. His mindset about marriage proposals and a man going on one knee is so wrong, and he seems to have little or idea about how marriage settlement works upon divorce.

Last comment on this Tony issue:
That girl is a graduate trainee. She's just starting her career. She has made a "mistake" according to you people, but the correction on the spot there is sufficient. Oga attributed it to "geography." Oyibo thing. Some added GenZ. Generational gap. She has learned.
Whatever anyone in UBA or anywhere do to her to punish her because of that moment is pure wickedness including some of your comments here. She should not be victimized. In fact, whoever is her direct manager has the responsibility of reassuring her and the Exec needs to help her regain her confidence.
We know how to destroy things here. How to exaggerate and try to make a mountain out of a molehill, and destroy people beyond recovery. It should not be her story.
We don't know what she'll become tomorrow. She may not be a banker sef but when she succeed properly, and she tells the story of this moment, let it be that humanity won.
As you throw comments here and there, remember that this event is like something happening between a primary school student and a professor. Be kind.
Good night.
I came across this video of a young lady that was weeping during a priestly ordination in one of the dioceses in Nigeria last week Saturday. As expected, it attracted all kinds of reactions. Some immediately concluded that she was crying because "her boyfriend had left her to become a priest," along with many other dismissive comments.
Those reactions are not the focus of this post. Perhaps I'll address them another day.
What caught my attention was the explanation of someone who knew the young lady and her family and was present at the ordination. He shared that the lady weeping in the video and the newly ordained priest are the only two children in their family. The priest ordained that day was her only brother and seeing him ordained got her emotional.
Many people may not understand that emotion, but I do. It reminds me of my own ordination to the diaconate. My mum cried almost throughout the entire Mass (Perhaps, if that scene were caught on the camera, someone might have concluded that it was a sugar mummy crying because her sugar son left her to become a priest😁).
You see, people often think priestly ordination is only a joyful celebration. It is. But for many families, it is also a moment of profound sacrifice.
From the day a man is ordained, he belongs to God in a new and irrevocable way. It does not mean he stops loving his family or cuts ties with them. But then, his life is no longer his own. His availability, his time, his heart, and his ministry are now given to the whole Church.
Even when a priest visits his family during his vacation, he soon realizes he is no longer simply "at home." He returns as a son, certainly, but also as a priest. His parish becomes his home, and the people entrusted to his care become his family.
This quiet sacrifice is one of the hidden dimensions of the priestly vocation. It is rarely spoken about, yet it is deeply real, not only for the priest, but also for those who love him most.
