Ever saw your dad kiss your mum? That’s even too much, have you seen them hug each other? Now I mean just out of affection not as a joke or maybe as requested in a public function. I've thought about this and I know other people do too. The other day I listened to a joke and the comedian was like yankee parents say goodnight before they fall asleep but a naija man will simply sluggishly say to his wife “are you sure the doors and windows are closed?”. Funny, but true. In fact how many parents tell their kids they love them? Most parents stop kissing their kids once they turn 7. We hear the funny names naija women and men call their spouses (#women will say# my oga,papachibuzor,daddy,etc).
these little shows of affection actually go a long way to make us able to love people in return and easily at that. It also helps esteem and self-confidence and like a goon friend of mine will say it will avert midlife crisis #lol#. I mean imagine if these bh boiz, bus park touts(agbero) had someone who kissed them good night or a father who tells them he loves them, I mean look at our girls if only they've heard “I love you” a lot of times it wouldn't become a snare to them.
Guys yes it is true we love but let us show it and let it start with this generation.
It will take like 4 centuries
