MrsPhyno:
Ahem so I know you guys missed my argumentative topics, and the romance section is either perverted or extremely boring these days, so I don come again with another one. You're all welcome

Anyways, one summer like this about 5 or 6 years ago, I was traipsing the streets of Lagos with my cousin. I was JJC (Justina Just Come ) at the time and he was taking me to see his friends and buy things and all the stuff people do when they just get back to Lagos.
Of course since I'm more delicate than a plucked flower , the noise and insanity of Lagos traffic was really frightening to the baby me; I thought I would fall inside gutter or infront of a speeding okada man so my big cousin grabbed my hand and was leading me as we walked.
When we got to where alot of people were tho, he removed my hand from his and told me:
"Nigerians don't like people holding hands. It looks like PDA, and Nigerians don't like PDA".

So besides the fact that I almost fell inside gutter twice on our journey the comment he made stuck with me. Even when I had entered sec school, I was always careful not to hold anyone's hand or be wrapping myself all over anyone in public lest some market woman start throwing water at me or trying to beat me. To date I think the worst thing I have done in public in Lagos, is hugged someone. Cause I dey fear no be small
Finally, my question:
[Why do we as Nigerians hate PDA (public displays of affection) and do you gather enough liver to for example, kiss in the street, in broad daylight?

Jolllyjoy:
your opinion.


I think,it mainly because they are shy,or probably not proud of the gurl in public,like i know of a guy,who hate being seen in public with his g.f talkmore of public display of affection..


The thought of it pissed him off

KashyBaby:
