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 ...

THE MYTH BEHIND MONEY

Money Money Money!!! Everybody just wants to make money. Sometimes I wonder if money has any other importance than to get us our basic needs and wants which are just pleasures and are perishable. The thing is, there is nothing that money gives that cannot be destroyed. So why so many of us have become slaves to money I can’t stop but wonder. Yea, money can give us respect and fame. With it, you will never have to suffer anymore. Some even see it as the means to secure their future and future generations. Yea, we can buy whatever we want with money, we can go places we want with money, we can step on any toes and we can do and undo anything we like. It has even gotten to the extent that some people can be bought over with money and this so called love we shout all about, has also gotten itself entangled in the web of money. So what are we saying? Money is good and without money, life can be frustrating and tormenting. Hmmm! But come to think of it, despite how powerful and i...

2016 Review: Niyi Olu Emmanuel, 2016, The Blessings And Lessons So Far

My life has been a testimony as far back as I can remember. I've been through a lot in this little life I've lived so far. Facebook has been an escape world for me and I find strength in my God as I fought my way through in life. After failed attempts to graduate two (2) years back, (I spilled twice), I was discouraged and depressed, but my Jesus is ever sweet to me, I've had beautiful life in Christ Jesus. To HIM alone be all the glory. Hallelujah! Hmm! Facebook has afforded me the opportunity of meeting friends, beautiful ones at that. Alphagirl Anthony, a tiny voiced, long legged friend of mine, her crazy posts and character made my days most times as I laughed heartily, you're such a darling. Norberts Cindy, she was first my partner in attacking Rita then she became my Bae, she possess a good heart and "shy", (although I don't believe she's shy sha). I cherish you girl, (still waiting for my birthday post from you sha). Ujam Emmanuel is my g...
