1. But why it gotta be embarrasing though?

@neo_savvy @ani_nomso Hug my father? That sounds embarrassing.

3. At least this one got hugged, even if it was two years ago and it was just a lousy side hug:

4. This one last got hugged from the womb!

@neo_savvy Bruh! This musta been when I was in my mother's womb. He hugged her.

5. This guy can’t even comprehend how to initiate the thing:

@neo_savvy How does o e simply hug his father? Is it while I'm prostrating or I sneak up on the man?
— Evil twin (@KENZO_rdk) May 15, 2017

6. But really, you don’t hug Nigerian fathers, you prostrate for them.

@neo_savvy @_Jvshx That wasn't a thing growing up. All I knew to do was prostrate.

7. Hug for where? When hand dey.

@neo_savvy Never… A hand shake is all we need

8. Sardonic! Cold! sigh

@neo_savvy African fathers are just the most sardonic, cold creatures in male forms?

11. Nigga didn’t even want to shake hands!

@neo_savvy I tried to shake my dad's hand cuz I thought he extended his hand and he was like we don't do that in Africa. Smh
— Amadeus (@Amadeaux) May 15, 2017

12. African fathers have really been too conditioned to be hard:
