Why Are Nigerians Shy About Public Kissing?

TBH I don't know. they make it look like it's bad

think it all abt the culture thing.

me,am shy on,but can hold or hug and mayb a peck too.bt like sombody said,u get a stigma by doing that and pple will always remember it when they see you!!cheers

My people lets be sincere with ourselves.It is not a matter of loving each other or trying to be affectionate or Romantic,it is a matter of respecting our tradition and values.Kissing in public is not just our culture.if you want to show your affection, a hug,holding of hands and a simple peck is enough.Lets face it,we as Nigerians are generally conscious of what people say about us or else how many of you proclaimers of kissing in public can kiss there girlfriend in front of their mothers?

@ wa do mi,

  The meaning of your name is (come and mess me) and thats d reason why u can kiss your partner anywhere!!!!!!!!!!  O ga o

Na naija we dey make una take am easy !
copy cat
Kissing in public ko, by the way who are we trying to impress here
It is definitely not our culture expecially when you are not married.

Showing alil affection by Kissing, for me I dont think is wrong. If U down with the act, then go on do it.

we are forgetting dat right now in Naija most of the things done here r not part of our culture.

maybe it's time we did away with modern technology found around us, like the GSM, ATM, etc. didnt we lent all dis as well from the Western world?

exactly

Leave it,
Let the Married Kiss anywhere they like,
nobody will complain about that
but for the love wan titi group of lover
they should do it behind the doors,
near the wall in the dark, dark corners
behind closed doors and not in the public.

driving is not our culture - so allcars should be banned - suit is not our culture - so no more suit wearing - all should go in traditional wear - GSM phones are not in our culture - so they should be banned - Mr Biggs is not in our culture so they should all be closed down - eating fried egg is not in our culture - so it should be banned -

all hypocrites.

I think it has something do to with our culture but who cares i do it .

Sorry double post

Nigerian are generally conservative in nature.Many of the tins done in civilised countries are frowned upon here.Somtyjms, even seen as taboo, I also think kissin has bin overblown bynd proportions,  Personally, I reli tink there is notin wong with kissiin in public. Tis simply an expression of affection.'Slng as d prsns invlvd dnt start feelin dmselves up:), But reli, I tink tis a cool tin to do wen in love, Ta!

we don't only do things because there's nothing wrong with it, we also should put the feelings of others into play.
Everybody knows we all use the toilet,must one do it in a market square to prove  that his digestive system is still in tip top shape?

i know of a guy that tried it in Nigeria and was charge for public distrubance.
But i have another idea,
those old people will really spank you without knowing who you are, if you try that
in Nigeria.

MAYBE YOU CAN TRY IT SOMETIMES SO YOU CAN TELL US WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU,

I WILL BE WAITING. An assignment for everyone!!! 

I guess we have 2 look @ d issue of public kissing by Nigerians 4rm 2 perspectives which I still believe r inter-dependent of each other and they r no other than d issue of culture and morals. 4 pete's sake one doesn't have 2 make out wit his/her partner in public 2 prove anything or 2 exercise freedom. 2 me doing that simply implies dat we r in bondage. Bondage under the western culture. B4 we emulate everything, lets look at their society and all d ills that plague it. If we aint careful, we wuld embrace d right 2 abortions by teenagers, gay marriages, incest and many more. One shuld be proud of his culture and not be quick 2 discard it and embrace an alien one. Future generations will never 4giv us if we continue 2 embrace everything. And we shuld not confuse technological advancement as culture. Though I guess its still an individual thing.
