Some people don't like open display of affection. I think Makinde is just one of them.

He was caught out flat but that one kiss couldn't have changed anything.

I just hope this doesn't make it to the front page.

This kind of news is very very irrelevant. If MODs push this to front page, I'll be forced to agree with those saying nairaland has lost relevance.

I'm wondering the narrative bloggers want to bring out of this?

Modified
How the Bleep did this topic grace frontpage? How low can this MODs go.

Honestly, this feels like a non-issue that people are stretching for attention and clicks. We should focus more on leadership and substance rather than scrutinizing personal moments. Not every action at a public event deserves to become a controversy.

It will change everything

It is important for us as black African people to gatekeep our culture

Kissing in public is not Yoruba behaviour

We have seen misguided leaders even Tinubu do it

It is wrong not as a moral issue but cultural issue

The governor serves as a role model and people will use it as a reference point

Is it their wedding anniversary? The kind of news on the front page. Nigeria is not a serious country

Very disgraceful behavior by the governor. Even if it is for the optics, he should have obliged his wife.

I’m very sorry but it did. Nairaland has the capacity to shape the minds of the average Nigerian youth towards productiveness but things that make it to the front page don’t promote growth. The topics shows that we major on the minor. Topics that downvotes one’s intelligence.

Probably she didn't brush

Women... You know the kind man when you marry, you still de carry mouth to go kiss... trying to ambush the man.

He clearly didn't want to upset his young and fresher girlfriends, by kissing an old woman in public. He's an honourable man.

This I have seen.

How is this a news? I'm confused

Correct
This is true
Sharp

Must he kiss her in public nii?

🤷

Maybe the wife mouth dey oooooooooze

Seun,

What's with this new NL feature?

So I'll have to put my phone on landscape mode to read news? Kindly take it back to as it was before

All these MCs and not facing the job they were engaged to do.

Maybe na Wetin Baba tell am or her mouth dey smell

Oga Wike don too stress am. Anyway he will surely come back and do a public kiss properly. Valentine in Paris is the billing .

Nothing is wrong .
Kissing is a white man's culture.
Many of our ancestors had so many wives, so how many will they be able to kiss.
I beg Governor did not do anything wrong.

That's very good! I equally dislike PDA with passion..She ought to have known his proclivities!

He no like PDA na

Or dem never resolve their home quarrel

I agree with you in retrospect.

even the leadership you have always been focusing on, what have you made out of it.

Sounds like say you dey serious

MAYBE HER MOUTH DEY OOZE

Man was distracted and checking his phone. He didnt hear the MC asking for them to kiss.

Maybe wike dey text am on whatsapp dey tell am say make he watch him back . Or one yanriyan dey send am Yansh for phone.

Something sha dey happen for phone wey he dey see that took his attention away

Obidients will be thinking hard to link this with Tinubu
