Simply because they are gossipers, because i still dont know why,and maybe its because we are blacks.

The society is a dynamic one, so also cultures and even values. However, we should take pride in our cultures and tradition. That is the very identity of a people. I dont believe that the American way of life is better than ours. Western governments can go a long way in order to preserve their perceived way of life. So, why cant we preserve our cultural identity? With all these western copy-cat-ism going on, I wonder what we will leave behing for the unborn ones.
When it comes to kissing in the public, i guess we should exercise some level of decency (this also depends on the type of kissing).

I have been asked to it so many times in the public but could not. Probably because of the way we were brought up. some times with no strings attached we cant still do it. Theres still good morals in Nigeria cause kissing is not our culture.

I do not want to be dragging this issue back and forth with u, my only opinion is that u treat each individual as a seperate person and do not believe because one individual behaves wrongly, it can be assumed that all individuals behave likewise.
Besides try meeting the right people and try being the right person and see if your view will not change.

Nigeria isnt an indivdual.
and I was replying to your comment about Nigeria being moral cos kissing isnt in the "culture". I'd rather kissing be in the culture than worse things like ritual killings and caste systems. which are way more "immoral"

Kissing in the public is not the culture in Nigeria, kissing on the other hand is part of our lives, we just do not go on public rampage about it, if u want to kiss please spare us the details and do it in private.

ThiefOfHeart i don't know if you where born in Nigeria, If you have ever been to Nigeria and if you will ever be to Nigeria. And even if you been all that i don't know where you lived in Nigeria. The issue of rituals use to be rampant but today it is gradually becoming a thing to historically talk about. Of course every nation has a period in history when things don't go right even the country you are today. Nigerians can no more be associated with rituals. I think that you know Nigeria from the films you been watching.
Kissing is not our way of showing either love or affection thats why i said it is not our tradition. And let me remind you may be you been too long away from home. Nigeria is struggling to survive but the way you know her is gradually changing. Where you stay laws are made for convenience thats why getting married and divorce is a game. Marital contracts and all the rest does not work here cause there is still morals. Therefore weather you believe or not we as Africans generally find it difficult to kiss in public. Thats not to say that some do not. But the trend is not fashionable here cause theres still good morals.

Yes I only know Nigeria from the movies I watch and not from being born in Surulere. lol comot jare. degubi, how is a public bus NOT "in public"?  puker, rituals are still live and well. Some Nigerians even do that crap in the West. Just because Nigeria isnt big on divorce doesnt mean they have morals, I'd rather she be for divorce than domestic abuse, outright corruption(cant even conduct a fair election) and child slavery. "kissing in public" should be the least of your worries. |

Sorry o! ThiefofHeart. How you came about this name? Well the part of Nigeria where i come from i no more hear of rituals. It could be happening in some part of Nigeria but i don't think its as bad as you portray.
There was a time in the history of this country when in Port Harcourt gals don't wear skimpy dresses or show any part of their body. There was a time when you don't even where sexy cloths. I remember when cloths where torn publicly on those who try to be headstrong.
Talking about the rest. Girl you can agree with me that there is no place on earth where every thing is perfect. Even in the country you stay we know that election was rigged some time but did any body die for that, no baby.

You know there's no place that is perfect so why try and make it seem like Nigeria is the headquarters for morality is my question. Like I've said, It's not a big deal that some people are against pda(public display of affection) but don't make it seem like Nigeria is some sorta heaven because the people arent into it. Kissing supposedly isnt in our culture but badmouthing other tribes seems to be, I think I perfer the kissing personally.  |

u got me wrong baby. All i said was that it is not our culture. I did not condem any tribe no do i say it is wrong. Good for those who love it but it cant be easily done here. I question the kind of Nigerian you are. Sorry cause you dont sound like one.

@ThiefOfHeart well i dont know if i can continue with the argument. Theres no way you can be a thru Nigerian more than me. I was born and bred here. Na here too i go die. You been away too long and thats why you still have that parochial thought. Things are changing for the better. Where i come from in Nigeria things may not be too good but i don't think they are too bad either. Cause we just cant get every thing in life. Your idea of criticism as regards Nigeria is of the past.
weather you take it or not we just cant provide public road shows on the name of kisses as in the country you claim. Simply because most of us were not groomed that way. Come to talk about that how many times have we seen our mothers kissing our dad. but it is a common thing there. It is just one of the things we learn from the whites. There you can agree with me that kissing is not our culture.
