Well, technically he's not my father-in-law yet as I have not married his daughter. But I want to marry her. I went to him today to ask for his daughter's hand in marriage, and instead of giving his blessing, he asked me to write an essay about myself and why I would want to marry his daughter. Where is that done? I want to marry this woman, but why do I have to write an essay? What is this?

Its sounds very hilarious, but the man might be pulling your legs to see if you are humble and worthy to marry his daughter. That's some shit but I'll advice u do it. As stupid as it sounds, ur refusal may bring enemity between u and him. So, do it
Lwkmd! Na wa for the father ooo!

Are u marrying from Wole Soyinka's family? Anyway, d man want to have a written document against u in case u want to cheat on his daughter later in the future. Smart Dad! Write d essay Mr man, u're hooked. Linda pls post this, I'm tired of not seeing my comments oon ur page
What sort of question is that? Ordinary Essay and you're fretting. HIAN! You're not ready to marry the girl na. Be asking JAMB question: "where is that done?". Seems you don't realize that most fathers have specific ways of testing their would-be sons-in-law. If you like don't write the Essay, ok? LMAO.
Sweetie its an essay. You are talking as if he asked you to cut off your right arm. Write the essay if you want to marry his daughter. Or is it dat u can't write? You are lucky he didn't ask for something more.
LMAO!! Rolling... OMG!
Hehe! How very unorthodox!! I believe he is a man belonging to the intelligentsia class of society and just wanna access and see how literal you are or something, that's very palpable! Writing an essay should get you worked up, write it bro!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Hei! Why would he demand that?
O̲̣̣̥ooÂş°˚˚°Âşk. Its quite simple, ask him, essay of how many words or pages? Don't be afraid except you don't love your wife to be very well. Remember "every crown has its prize"
T"AngEl"
Lwkmd, omg, this is so hilarious
I think I get where the father-in-law to be is coming from.
He's probably some egg head,intellectually enlightened fellow who thinks it would be sad to marry his daughter off to an uneducated man who can't even compose a proper essay.
Mind you,there are people with doctorates who still find these things difficult.
So,just write the damn essay if that's all you need to do to marry the woman you love!
Writing an essay and buying yam for the whole umunna, which do you prefer? I think you must have spoken some baaad grammar and the man wants to confirm what his ears heard lol.... if you need help while writing it, flash me I had c6 in english.....
LMAO
hehehhe, that's a very smart sharp father-in-law... something my dad will do...
Anyways..... I would help with some tips...
First and foremost try and analyze his motive... I'm sure he wants to see how serious you are.
secondly, do your research well and follow all necessary protocols in essay writing,u never can tell he might be an English professor
Last but not the least, seek help in essay writing if u cant figure it out, but rmbr always put ur point/feelings down in writing, cos u might have to back it up with an interview.... hehehe good luck with that...
Did is indeed hilarious,,,,,,,,is this 4 real? Or a sort of joke????
Hahahaha.......this just made my day!!!!
Lmaooooo....... He wants to test ur intelligence now! Some Men can be funny abeg
hhahaahhahahahah,,,,, lolz,,,,,, dis is sooooooooo funny... Mayb dats d brideprice
lol this is hilarious.....
What is your problem? If the man has asked you to jump in order to marry his daughter whom you claimed to love, won't you ask him how high? Go on, write that essay and prove to her 'father' that you are man enough to marry his daughter!!!!
Nawao! Wonders shall never end
Smart man. He needs to know who you are. He doesnt want a deadbeat guy or lowlife parasite marrying his daugherr. There are so many low life niggas in Naija that want to marry a girl cos the dad is rich
Are you an illiterate? What are you scared of? Biko pick up your pen and write about yourself
loooolz essay??? he must be joking.
Lemme help u out,give her belle and the essay will be reduced to make a sentence about yourself.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310

Looooooool! I think that is way better than asking you to go and get 100 foreskins like they did to samson in the Bible sha.....rotflmbao
Lmfao!!! U better write it or no wife for you.
Linda you and your readers will not kill me with laughter. I have been laughing non stop since I read this post. But seriously maybe the man wants to be sure of the quality of the man he wants to give his daughter to, or he just wants to make fun of you. Any way it is I wish you good luck in your essay writing.
Lol! Bros do am... Guess he is tryin to find out ur level of Educatn. U kwn dis days Universities sells certificate.
Hahahahahahahahaha, see man see big wahala. No worry, d man go marry him pikin bdat!
Nw dats wat we call protocol
U have to write an Essay cuz u wanna marry his daughter lolz...... “Guy take cover after marriage oooo, ur FIL to be is really funny sha lolz” is he α professor?
This guys facial expression is priceless. Loool...
WTF? maybe if you tell him off politely and act like a man. He will actually respect you. If you were my BF and answered him sef, I would tell you no, even if he said its ok . Infact for me and my dad that I trust, if you write it, even if he is Bill gates, we will both tell you thanks but NO thx. we noh want mumu for husband na man we dey find. Out of curiousity is ur FIL, Yoruba? because an Igbo man can not try this, it is rare except they dont want you and want to use style to drive you.
Don't do it homie. He will use that 'essay' against you every single time he feels he needs the opportunity. If he wants, he can marry his daughter.
You came to him out of respect and culture and asked for his daughters hand. He needs to treat you with the same amount of respect and recognize that you have already proved that you are a man by doing so.
Don't write nada, abeg. Just palm... Na them go come beg you last last...
Hahahahaha.This sounds so unreal.Do we just fabricate things for d fun of it?Well if @ all this is true,then proceed wt an essay.Remember to add ur punctuation marks.
just right it or walkaway..... your choice
which kind essay b dat.did he write an essay wen he wanted 2 marry his wife?mtcheew
He force u,if u no fit write simple grammar then leave.
D daughter na office,he wants u to apply n write wot u hav to offer....very funny
Write now what is there?
It is done in Efik culture. The man must write a letter to the family telling them about himself, his family and expressing his intentions towards their daughter. I know this because I have several members of my family married to Efik people, I saw one of the letters. I don't see anything wrong with it, I actually like it because it is like a contract with the family. It is part of the protocol and if you love the girl, you will do it because you shouldn't have a problem expressing how you feel to the person who has given you cause to do so by raising a fine young lady.
lol..write it my friend...
Its not done anywhere but in ur "wife to be's" family.....as weird as it is,its really no big deal.....just write the stuff...it could be a test...if u really love her,den writing an essay is not such a big deal.Afterall,in the past people go on deadly missions,to find one flimsy nonsense just to marry a girl......best of luck man!!!
My friend write essay jo and stop askin stupid question.lol
Lool, I Think its funny and the man is just tryna be witty. Anyways just write it, I don't think its a big deal, very little thing to do to marry the woman u love. In some places na range rover u go buy o.
Lmao!man u gotta write this essay otherwise.by the way, your soon to be father inlaw is way too funny..I'm even in tears cryinglaughing
Lol,if it will take u to write easy only before u marry their daughter,then do it. The main thing is not in d essay but ur obedience, seriousness and humility,is what matters.

Wow, it appears our LIBer is way behind the rest of the world. Anyways for your information, Marriage has gone corporate, formal and official. The entire process that is obtainable in the corporate world is being religiously observed. So, dont be in any shock that your prospective Father-in-Law asked you to do a suitability essay.
Take a Clue:
SUITABILITY FOR THE POSITION OF HUSBAND TO XYZ - MY CASE
Ekiti man as inlaw

Hi Linda. I read your blog all the time but this is the first time I am commenting. I know it could be very annoying for the guy. However, the good book says give to Cesar what belongs to Cesar. Write the letter, you never know. I know you love your girl, you want to spend the rest of your life with her blah blah...... but this "crazy" task will enable you to do more soul searching and explore more reasons why you want get married to her.

My parents requested an essay from my fiance as well. Basically to write about himself and conviction about marriage to me. It made him to really sit and think about his decision. And that was the quickest way for my parents to really know his background as we live in a different country from my parents.
Its brilliant!

Linda...I'm waiting
Going by the way marriages pack up nowadays, I think it is right for the FIL to demand for that. Not only will your essay serve as a binding document for reference in the future but it will also help you to think about why you really want to be with the lady. Please state your vision and mission with the lady.lol. SSTA
Is gud u write cos some men re curel or wicked dt de can later denny dere speeches. So me dear for future ducumentation

Why I want to marry you daughter!
Sir,
Your baby girl is my life, she holds the key to my happiness. She is one out of a million. With her ,there will be prospects, at least ,we will be made from you will. Please , I am not a gold digger,but when I see an opportunity I grab it with both hands.
Thanks in anticipation of your approval.
Your potential son-in law.
HE WANTS TO BE SURE YOU ATTENDED SECONDARY SCHOOL, AND NOT A PRIMARY SCHOOL DROP OUT... Lol

Essay Ko, GMAT Ni. .
Tell d papa if im not wan d girl to marry na for im pocket. Dirty nonsense. #OLOSHI
I don't see anything wrong in writing an essay about yourself and why u wanna marry someone's daughter......the man just wants to know if u're really ready for the marriage.
Lmfaooooooo
Dats just d first stage...he'l stil do oral interview
He is just making sure he has an exhibit to all ur claims of loving his daughter so that tomorrow when u start maltreating her there will be clear proof that u didn't stand on ur words. Do it if u love her or don't if u plan on giving her a hell of a life. My 2dimes and a nickel *seriousface*
Dis man sound exeactly lik my dad
Very funy. But then again,u need to write the eassy for clearification purpose. The old man needs to read about u,and also keep it so if u lie in futur he will use it against u.
Mtcheew no be only essay...He shuld av asked u to climb mount evrest jus cos u wanna marry his daughter..
i think dat is gud for guys bcos once is written its has become official.bcos some guys r crazy once they pay someones dowry they may start maltreating d person
Write d essay jooor.. U hav a very clean shave der . Lol
Correct father! U berra write the letter if you truly want the girl. I bet daddy wants a written proof as well as verbal. don't forget to sign it o. he he he
Hahahaha! Hmmmmmmm! Write the essay Biko! You should also be sincere because more questions are coming.
Is reali funny but if u really like the gal nd wnts 2 marry her,tins u do 4 luv
