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?

there's a reason why it is called Handset

Try put your phone for inside pocket or bag when you’re in a keke or bus in Warri your mind go they after you don loose like 7 phones

Try let your phone shape be showing and fine boys go help you keep am.
Holding it in your hand is more safer than anywhere else you can put it. I always move with 2 phones and except when driving myself I’ll never ever ever ever put my phone in my pocket when walking or in public transport na otilo go end am

You received the answer. Why are you disturbing our peace?

The only thing I know is people whip out their phones because social media is addictive. It is not a problem only here. In Yankee, people are zombies to their phones. Zuckerberg, Dorsey and Yiming have the world by the balls.
