WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS CONCERNING PDA (PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION) ARE YOU FOR IT OR AGAINST IT?


I listened to a programme on radio last night and their topic for discussion was PDA (Pubic Display of Affection). They asked people to share their opinion concerning it; whether they are for it or against it. Different responses came in and majority of the response seem to be in favour of PDA no matter how extreme it might be. But one response actually caught my attention and my nod of agreement. The person was like, PDA differs. It is good but when it is taken to the extreme, it can be very annoying and disgusting. When asked which she preferred, she said, holding hands and a simple hug will do for her but when it goes beyond that, she wouldn’t tolerate it.  You know, in as much as I really don’t fancy PDA, I think I quite agree with that response. I mean I prefer it to the other responses that were coming in. But I will really like to share my own views concerning PDA.

 Now for some of you that really don’t have an idea of what PDA really means, PDA the short form for ‘Public Display of Affection’ is a way by which two people display their love and affection for each other in public. It can sometimes be intentional and sometimes it just happens out of craziness and lust for each other. It can vary from holding hands, hugging, kissing on the forehead, and some even take it to the extreme of deep, tight and prolong kissing and hugging in public. And the most saddening thing is that PDA is usually carried out by two unmarried people. Hardly will you see two married people purposely displaying their affection to each other in public. The least they can do is hold their hands.

As a person, Christianity aside, I don’t fancy PDA because I don’t see a reason why I should flaunt my affection in public especially with someone I’m yet to be married to. I mean it’s just nonsense to me. Even holding hands is not even my style. I mean, I’m not just cut in for it. So coupled with the fact that I’m a Christian, and showcasing the likeness of Christ in everything I do, PDA is just out of the picture. I mean, PDA is not even allowed in Christian courtship. So to me, PDA is not even in my dictionary. The only form of PDA I might consider, and only with my husband in the context of marriage, is holding hands together and that is even if he likes it.  

Well that is just but my own honest view. Feel free to share yours. What is PDA to you?? Are you for it or against it?

2016 Review: Voke Ogedegbe: 2016, My Blessings And Lessons So Far

2016 would forever become a memory in a matter of hours.  Before it rolls away, I want to talk about my year 2016. I entered 2016 oblivious of the fact it was a new year,  this,  was,  consequence of a terrible breakup I had in the October of the previous year.  The tears and pain that came with my broken relationship saw me through the first two months of the year and one morning in the month of March,  I woke up,  looked into the mirror,  told myself I was beautiful and I deserved more! I really think, the old witch in my village had dropped my picture to use another she fancied more than mine to fan her bosom and that's the only reasonable explanation as to how I received sense that morning. For the first few months of 2016, I laughed,  sometimes,  too hard. This was an attempt to mask my pain,  I put up a nice show - I should be an actress, I even deserve an Oscar. I didn't want the world to know my pain, I didn't want them ...

A STORY...(TOUCHING): NEVER HOLD ON TO OFFENCES

Just two years after our marriage, my husband brought up the idea of asking his Mother to move from the rural hometown and spend her remaining years with us. His father passed away while he was still very young. His mum endured much hardship and struggled all on her own to provide for him, see him through to the university. You could say that she suffered a great deal and did everything you could expect or imagine of a woman to bring hubby to where he is today. I immediately agreed and started preparing the spare room, which has a balcony facing the South to let her enjoy the sunshine and plant greenery. Hubby stood in the bright room, and suddenly, he lifted me up and started spinning round and round. As I begged him to put me down, he said: “Lets go fetch mother”. Hubby is tall and big sized and I love to rest my head on his chest and enjoy the feeling that he could pick me up at any moment, put me as smallish as I am into his pocket. Whenever we have an argument and one of us ref...

Inspirational: One Day

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle.   It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, 'Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.' I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.   As I handed him his glasses, I said, 'Those guys are jerks.’ They really should get lives. 'He looked at me and said, 'Hey th...
