Hey nairalanders, do u think nigerian parents dont express their feelings for the kinds; u know saying i love u, kissing them on the chin, hugging them when their first love has gone sour. 
pleasseeee i need ur opinions on these.

I bet to disagree.
It is an individual thing and let us not generalize.

hmm. . . Emotionally Bankrupt.

Naija parents are not like that.

How many Nigerians have come to complain to you about that? How many Nigerians have told you that their parent not kissing them constitutes emotional bankruptcy?

How do you define emotional bankruptcy and who defines it's level or whether it is a good thing or not?

BTW, the options on your poll are skewed to achieve only one outcome.

the answer is blowing in the wind.

What is there to argue? Na only ajebos get time for love and kisses.

Ajekpakos have bigger preoccupations!

That's a bit harsh?! Can't make such a generic statement.

I think globally its kind of a generational thing - I am certainly more affectionate and tactile with my babies than my parents were with me.

In Nigeria - you have the added angle of the respect given to the elders eg my husband calls his Dad "Sir" so there is automatically a barrier that is placed. They are still close though. Also, a few of the people I know in Nigeria were sent overseas to school when they were quite young so that also encourages them to be more independent from an early age.
