You are soooooo right. You cant leave in lagos, use public transport and then keep your phone in your pocket. You will buy new phone every week.

It depend on the location.
In a city like Lagos, it is safer to hold your phone tightly in your hand.

Research has it that phone in the pocket of a man could affect his reproductive organ due to radiation from the phone.
This is downright misleading, if not false. You can't provide any evidence, so i won't bother asking.

You wan lose guard your phone? Body go tell you... Phone at hand is only 50% safe but phone in pocket or bag is 0.1% safe.

You asked an obvious question, answered yourself and then go asking the same question again . Like, is this one normal? What kind of shit is this? Nigerians and excess cruise. Nawa.

This is just my personal observation but for a while, I've observed this trend and can't really tell why. Even car owners or drivers, as soon as they stepped out of their vehicles, one of the first things they go for is their phones on their hands.

This is a global trend and not just among Nigerians along. Though, it's called handset as most persons will argue, the meaning of the word "handset" doesn't necessarily mean holding it all the time. Handset simply means a "Mobile Phone".

Is the pocket or bags not good enough for keeping of phones? Even as I write this, I keep observing same scenario. You may make your research on this too if this hypothesis is valid or not.

What do you think is the reason?

E be like dem never thief your phone before. Keep putting it in your pocket. When you get the experience, you will know why people hold phones in their hands.

it's actually safer to hold your phone in your hand. The only time I decided to put my phone in my handbag, it was stolen.

honestly I don't know why, me personally I don't hold my phone on my hand wether high end or low end smartphone. I don't.

The reason is because, it removes attention from you as a person down to your smartphone, so instead of people to look at your face, they look at your to hand to try to figure out what type of smartphone you are using and I don't like it..

It's also a kind of show-off, I don't like show off
Re: Why Do Most Adults Hold Their Phones While Walking? by Bahamas95(m): 9:38am On Jan 22, 2022
Some people do it to show off, most especially those using iphone.

Another stupid question makes it to the front page yet again!

Yesterday was one biatch asking people to guess what underwear she wore to work.

Today is someone asking a very meaningless and hopeless question

Is this how it's going to be this year?

If you've ever in your life gone through the four walls of a University, you would have known what an hypothesis mean. What do you even consider as a meaningless question? Do you know how many research findings that's imbedded in this thread so far? If you've not learnt anything from here so far, please leave others to learn. Thanks.

Were you ever thought minding your business will make you live a better life and live longer? If you don't have anything meaningful thing to contribute, then mind your business. Calling others mumu only exposes how well brought up you are. Stay Blessed.
