Why Don’t Nigerians Keep Their Phones In Their Pockets? by Mustiboy(m): 5:51pm On Jan 12, 2023 |
Everywhere you go, people hold their phones in their hands even when they have absolutely no need for it and the phones would be safer being in their pockets or bags? Is it some kinda show-off? Cause I could swear this act is more common amongst iPhone users. Are they trying to make a statement? “Oh see the phone I use? I’m not doing too bad” One thing I’ve noticed is that you’ll hardly find people with broken-screen phones or an entry-level smartphone holding them in their hands this way. I overheard a Bet9ja boy narrating to his coworker how the respect he gets from folks in his neighborhood has skyrocketed because he now uses an iPhone 13. Is it a Nigerian thing? Or na so dem dey do world over? 30 Likes 2 Shares

If it's not in a bag or something, I think it's safer in my hands even though inconvenient. Lost a phone because of pocket things. I don't have low self-esteem 243 Likes 12 Shares |

I can't forget the day I kept my phone in my pocket while in a bus. They removed the phone from my pocket, I noticed immediately I got down but the bus zoomed off. Another thing is that ur phone can easily slip off when u sit down and u won't know. Since then it is safer in my hand than in my pocket. It is only if I am with a bag then I can put it inside since I usually go to work with a back bag. 141 Likes 5 Shares |

Mustiboy this your statement is stereotypical, how can you assume all Nigerians don't keep their phones in their pocket? By the way how many Nigerians have you seen to raise such generalized statement 10 Likes |

Nawa o... see the way he called out iPhone users. Lol. The way you guys interpret everything done by someone who has something you don't have as "show-off" is just disconcerting. Dude, it's for convenience, and it's neither a Nigerian thing not an iPhone thing. Stop letting your insecurities make you read meaning into everything. 59 Likes 5 Shares |

Two reasons: 1. Health wise. Phones use radiofrequency radiation (RF) to send signals. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified RF radiation as a “possible human carcinogen.” So, avoid keeping phones close to the trunk and brain. 2. Street wise. Over the years, some bad eggs have mastered stealing from bags and pockets such that a word was developed for them: “pickpocket”. 23 Likes 1 Share |
