”I believe in the
sacrosanctity of our culture, the essence and the core of our culture. The
white man kneels down to propose to a girl. You know what it means, the girl
takes over the family. This is why whenever you disagree with a wife oversea,
you are kicked out and your wife takes the house.

When attacked that it is
love that makes men go down on their knees to propose, Edochie replied: ”I have
lived with my wife for 51 years. Nobody has said stop beating this woman. Kneel
down before your wife, I will sympathize with you when she takes over the home”.
