Exclusive update: The Nigerian man who was stopped by a pastor from proposing to his girlfriend inside a church, speaks

Over the weekend, a video of a Nigerian man being stopped from proposing to his girlfriend during a wedding service, went viral.

 

In the video, a pastor could be seen stopping the man from proposing to the lady, saying he wasn't aware of their relationship and couldn't give his consent for the engagement.

 

Exclusive update: The Nigerian man who was stopped by a pastor from proposing to his girlfriend inside a church, speaks

 

The man in the middle of the drama, Emokpae Ehis, has reached out to LIB to state his own side of the story. According to him, he has been going out with his girlfriend, Gloria for over 7 months now and he decided to propose to her at her elder sister's wedding which held at Souls Harvester at Udu road in Delta state.

 

Read what he said below

I am the guy that got engaged and this took place in Soul Harvesters church. My name is Ehis Emokpae. I didn't regret and will never regret any of my act.

 

I am so happy I engaged her in the presence of God and her biological parents was right there and the pastor is just a spiritual father. I am the guy and the family know me very well..

 

She accepted the ring that's what matters to me. The bride is the elder sister to the girl I engaged. The pastor said it was the church doctrine not to do that. I have been quiet for days about this issue because i dont want to judge a man of God to the public... But the case is out anywaY.

 

The last prayer for that service was taking place already. The consent of a pastors is not needed before proposing to his member. She needs to accept getting married to you before reaching out to their various pastors,,, i see no wisdom in such act... Engaging your girl in the presence of God is the best thing as a Christian..

 

I dont believe that was the church doctrine. It was the pastors doctrine... And another thing, i wasn't stealing someone else's show. The pastor to the groom's church wasn't happy about what the brides pastor did in that service. Right in the service people where congratulating the both of us. Please no body should insult the pastor or the church Souls Harvester... I just want people to get the clear picture of what happened'' 

 Watch a video of himself and his girlfriend after she accepted his proposal below..

Mr engaged man, u lack sense and are immature if you don't realize courtesy demands u take the permission of the pastor/church before doing a proposal in the middle/end of his service; he runs the church and has every right to dictate what happens in his parish. Watch other church proposals online, most times the pastor calls out the girl or is somehow involved in the surprised. U got ur fiancee, luck your wounds but grow sense next time. Congratulations though

This guy's response contains some inappropriate revelations. Why tell the world that the groom's Pastor wasn't happy? Did he show it in the presence of everyone or is it something he told you in confidence? You're a man, pls talk less.

Nobody is saying you should not engage your girl, all we are saying Is don't do it in public, yes in church and in the presence of God according to you but must it be in public? And the bullshit you said about not stealing someone's elses show is crap! Infact that was your motive but you got embarrassed, good for you, you surely deserve that, atleast next time you keep your shit to your self. No one cares if your girl said yes or no to you. You are still a clout chaser!

What the fuck is stealing someone's shine by proposing on their own day of joy? Bull and crap if you ask me. If on my wedding day, let 100 people propose to their fiances, that didn't steal my shine, that means there's enough love and joy oozing from around me that others can tap in and benefit from, that means am a whole can of love, that doesn't mind being opened up and passed round for everyone else to have a sip from. My real joy and shine and glory come from the moment I PROPOSEE TO MY OWN WIFE AND SHE SAID YES. Not now! Not this moment! Because that moment is just formalities. That difficult point I took that courageous step, that point I was skeptical, afraid of rejection and that point she also made the biggest answer to of yes or no in her life is what matters. That moment of true conflict of the mind, caught in between yes or no, loyalty or betrayal, true love or deciet is when I won and when I shine, and I wouldn't mind being the platform at which somebody else stage theirs. Nigerians can condemn, criticize and judge. They say it's not a black man's culture, but the white men don't mind and see it as no deal when you propose to your fiance the moment the priest asks does anybody have anything to sy or keep quiet till eternity? To them, self that moment is the right setting, right time and it makes the whole scene more romantic. White love romance, that's their way. We don't know.what being romantic is, that's why we see what's wrong with what that young man's did. Double standards Nigerians. You can't steal another mans shine, you all know the rules so much, but it's another man's culture, how do you know the rule to another mans culture so much then? If I.were that lady, If I was going to.marry h before I would marry him more. What he did most of you all calling him weaklings can't. Some of you can't even walk up.to a girl in.public, stop her woo her and collect her number. Yet this great guy took a bold step of proposing publicly, in the presence of God, the church a d the girls parents and family and you all call him a coward? You all are the real cowards. Only one out 100 black.men can do that. He doesn't deserve you and your black man mentality. He is clever, brave and very very very romantic.

You were foolish not to have informed the church authority of your intention to propose to your girl, if you had done that you wouldn't have been embarrassed. When you eventually become married wisdom demands that you weigh your decisions and actions before they are taken.

Pastor means shepherd of the flock. Only the sheep going astray does things behind the shepherd. The danger here is that wolves will pounce to destroy. If he is a member of the church, how is it that he hid it from the shepherd? Marriage is not child’s play. Tomorrow,when the storms of marriage arise, this same character will start calling the pastor.

Common sense is not common. No protocol observed. You should have hinted the resident Pastor at least. He is the GO of his Church. Very rude and embarrassing. Apologize to the Pastor. Can someone just walk into your house and do that? Must you do that on her elder sister's wedding? You are wrong, period. However, congratulations for her accepting you.

Whether you know it or not your union had started with misunderstanding. The first step is to be humbled by the fact that you are trying to build a future through the sweat, the toil and the labours of others. Therefore you needed their consent, you needed them to be at peace with giving you what you want, therefore you would go all out to make sure you do it right and do the right things. Because bad mouth, bad eyes, etc all naa curse that is not heard but none the less set forth concerning one.

I don't think the pastor was wrong. You chose the wrong time for your proposal. Someone else's wedding ceremony in a church you are not a member of was not the right time/place. You could have organised your own engagement setting separate from someone else's occasion. You were too creepy and self-centered to know what you wanted to do, without permission, was wrong. Respect is what you ignored.

Now its confirmed that many Nigerians brain are paining them. So he should have gotten the consent of the pastor... For what. He is the daddy of the surrounding. If the bride and groom don't have issues with the proposal why are all of you breaking your head over the matter. Mr, happy engagement. I hope the wedding holds and the marriage works out.
