I disagree.
Arm pulling is market strategy. . . . .they do that to get ur attention.
It's nuthing to do with coochie or whatchumacallit.
Guys have their arms pulled too. . . . .Have they got coochies?

Don't feel special. They grab mine too. Its called aggressive marketing.

I ain't a cross dresser so i won't be doing that.
Besides, i have had ma arms pulled by em boys too to come buy pirated CDs. . . . .It's nuthing special.
It's a market strategy. . . . . .although i agree they should be more willing to hold onto a female body than male.
Blood flow in 'em bodies not SQUADRON.

You can't call being manhandled, embrassed against your own will and dragged like a rag doll as market strategy, that's sexual harrassment.

I told you it wasn't only arm pulling. Those idiots touch you indiscriminately. A lot of them ought to be in jail by now. I'm very serious here.

@post
Get used to it because you are going to go through that for a little while longer. I have been experiencing that since i was a freshman in high school. When i went to the movies, grab me by the arms and tried to spit game. When i went to New York and went on the subway, guys was doing that stuff. No i don't even let it faze me cause aint giving any of them a time of day so just shrug it off and keep doing you.

I told you it wasn't only arm pulling. Those idiots touch you indiscriminately. A lot of them ought to be in jail by now. I'm very serious here.

It will be difficult to enforce any law against arm pulling.
Trust me, some gurls love to be touched indiscriminately.

Well. . . . . she has a point there. I remember visiting Naija market the first time and it was my last. . .

This is not nice. . . . . .I cannot let u diss a Naija bruvva that way.
35 degrees centigrade in a humid environment. . . . .what do u expect?
Aiiight, i will tell em go get good deodorants.

How about telling them to keep their hands in their pockets?

Thank your God they only grab your arms.
I've had those touts touch my waist,not once.

The grabbing is even nothing compared to the vulgar things they'll be telling you.
I remember as a teenager when this stupid trader told me in Igbo
Nna m duru this girl ga na bed,mu emesie y'ike

meaning

Nnaa if I take this one to my bed, I go show am pepper.

and I was just about 15 or so, that man traumatized me

Hands in their pockets = Low sales.

Touching ur waist?? Don't fret. . . . .they only want ur attention.
Naija women are known to possess short attention span.

Hallucinating?? Not likely.
Exaggeration. . . .Maybe.

more like an assault.
why should a stranger grab someone in the market.
Am I blind?
if I want what they're selling must I be fondled before I can see it?

Just take em for what they are. . . . .
There's nuthing bad in attentional sexual contact.

Maybe not!!!
However, loads of men think that about women anyways. . . . Saying it loud and thinking about it is the same THANG.
Queeenisha should be happy men admired her @ 15. It means she's got assets men are willing to go to JAIL for.

I know you're always clowning around
but this is serious.
The sexual harassment little girls go through in Nigeria.
Is there any girl here who growing up didn't have grown men especially at construction sites make sexual advances at them.
I remember from way back in elementary school, grown men,perverts making a fist with their left hands and then putting their right index finger through an opening in that fist and sliding it back and forth.
Gosh!
that motion made me cringe
and me and my mouth
I was always quick to rain abuses on them and give them *waka*

God gave me mouth and I'm not afraid to use it
