“I Didn’t Kneel, I Won’t Kneel” — Agoro Sparks Online Wedding Debate Tradition
OpenLife Nigeria reports that Nigerian influencer and writer Ifedayo Agoro, founder of Diary of a Naija Girl, has set social media abuzz after addressing criticism about her wedding tradition choices.
In a candid post, she revealed: “I said what I said. I didn’t kneel, and I do not kneel.”
Agoro clarified that while she respects those who choose to kneel, her personal decisions are guided by conviction rather than societal pressure. She explained:
“My values and mindset have given me a peaceful, successful life and a home where I am fully myself and fully loved.”
The post has stirred strong reactions online. Critics argue that kneeling remains a meaningful cultural gesture of respect in Nigerian weddings.
Supporters, on the other hand, praised Agoro for staying true to herself, noting that her choice reflects personal freedom and encourages authenticity in marriage traditions.
