I cringe whenever I remember one day at a crowded supermarket here in Lagos. There was a young couple (likely unmarried) by the counter and my eye randomly caught him aggressively grabbing and shaking her butt with one hand. She had on really skimpy satin shorts. That same split second, he saw that I saw that and me trying not to make him feel uncomfortable that I saw something, I assumed was a sneaky private moment, I threw a quick polite smile of approval but he locked eyes with me, and with a straight face, smacked her hard, grabbed and shook it again, almost as if he was proving to me that he didn’t care if I saw it. I really regretted that smile cause I felt so foolish in that moment when I probably should’ve just quickly looked away.
