lawani:
Nowadays in West Africa, men gawk when they see skimpily dressed or bare breasted ladies. It was not so in the past. When I was in NAPIMS, NNPC in 2000, Mrs Kolade, my boss secretary told me her father in law always insisted that women pounding yam for him to eat must do so bare breasted without any encumberance. Bare breasted dances, even teenage girls going to the market bare breasted were common sights back then and it was no big deal, the ladies were not seen as promiscuous. Women going bare breasted in protest groups was seen as a high form of protest and you had better watch it if that is being used to protest against you. No purdah for Yoruba women or any enclosure for them in the past. They engaged in trade, production and etc. They were partners with men in everything. They contributed their quota fully and had their own fraternities. Many became very wealthy, some became monarchs and where a woman is not the monarch, women were still well represented in the government. Nudity was part of our culture. Maidens generally and indeed men were skimpily dressed because we live in the tropics.

For matured women, total breast baring is the highest form of protest! It happens when you push a woman to the wall. For example, if you push a woman of the status and social standing of Barbara Bush Jr, CEO of Global Health Corps to the wall by holding her innocent husband (Akin Lawanson) hostage while she has to tend to the nuclear family without him and she comes out publicly in protest bare breasted, then you know you are ROASTED SUYA. You are going to get a full dose of OSA MEJI! ELEYE!

Osa meji lakoja!
O bu yankanyankan leti opon!
A difa fun Sango Olukoso lalu Aribambi arigba ota segun!
Kini Arira fi se te?
Igba oran ni Arira fi se te
Igba ota!
Ase Edumare
Edumare Ase!
Translation
Osa meji the first Aggressor!
Perfectly fitted on the egde of the divination tray.
Divined for Sango Olukoso lalu Aribambi, who has the two hundred missiles required to conquer!
How was Arira undone?
Two hundred missiles was Arira's undoing.
Two hundred bullets!
Ase Edumare!
Edumare Ase!
