I made a mistake with the address, but i have sent it again.

Dear nurex, while it is good 2 focus on issues, but comments that nigeria is 65% muslim is not only wrong, false, vexatious but contributes in diverting attention from topic. Who ever told you that?
For one, I find the craze for minis, tight pants, etc (by ladies) and braids, earrings, etc (by men) wrong and saddening. But I've come 2 realise I belong 2 the old school. Sure wish we could be more decent in our dressing.

@feelgood
tnx man 4 correcting me 4 that.

but at least you understand it is Improper 4 them to dress like prostitute.

my brother saying 65% of Nigerians are Muslims is not true is wrong of you, rather you could have say i shouldn't have mention it which i will accept. but all thesame this is not an issue that we should be arguing about tnx man

Given the fact that no amount of code enforced in the nation actually last that long, it is a shame when men who should be seeking for source of living begin to chase women on the streets tearing for their pants

Nurex what is the source of your information. Nigeria is 45% Moslem and 45% Christian go check National Demographic survey. Do not make staements like that unless you have a source, it is wrong to sit in your house and fabricate staistics and you say you want to be Nigeria's head of state

@aisha2
thank God i am connected to prove you wrong of your statistic plz click this link
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ni.html#People

and the though i make mistake the one i mention above is not up to date but still yet Muslims are more than christens in Nigeria with the following statistic

Muslim 50%, Christian 40%, indigenous beliefs 10%

current statistic.

@ karaye.
you dont know yourself. i dont think you know what yu are talking about. you are just selfish.

personally i dont support this idea in Benue State.
when i was in Nija some certain yrs back, imo, abia,lagos and some other states tried to implement this nonesense but  the thing didnt work.
pls the person that bring up this idea should go back and stop it. why must all the ugly rules in nija  be mapped out for women, what is wrong with this people?
girls should protest for this kind ugly thing and fight for their right.

and all these people that is supporting them in this forum should mind their ways of communicating here.

A far cry from your 65% and closer to my estimated 45% dont you think? Besides that is not the issue. e are not here to compare religions

@aisha2,
have you read my first post here?

well i dont think this has to do with religion because benue is predominantly a xtian state. so the issue of sharia is out of it.

maybe the sisters have been provocative in their dressings but giving dress code is not a way out. i could wear skirt and still have the same effect as trousers

personally, i think the dress code idea is absurd and out of place so the govt should think of an intelligent way handling the situation and stop wasting their time on frivolities

i like the decision of that State. God bless them

@Rogo
tnx man

Who is the commissioner of police in Benue and what is his religion.

Guys i see people with little knowledge of what is happening in our dear country Nigeria diverting the whole topic to religion and tribe (very unfortunate), and we always talk about uniting to move forward (free ourselves from the clutches of the corrupt leaders/politicians). But we always divide ourselves on slight opportunities. Im baffled at some of you posting OP on the real issue at hand, which was Benue state government restricting indecent dressing within the state and immediately somebody was linking the issue to a certain tribe and religion in Nigeria.
Please just comment on the topic at hand and dont distract others.

Yea, maybe religion has nothing directly to do with this sexual harassment of law-abidding Nigerian women.

It's politics from "above"

Remember the Lagos incident last week?

Enugu, Edo, and Akwa-Ibom may be next.----- indirect sharialization of the whole naija.

@big spif
GUY TAKE TIME TO READ THE POST CAREFULLY , BEFORE SAYING SOME ONE JUST POST A LINK FOR SOME RELIGIOUS AND TRIBAL WHATEVER. SOMEONE IN THE ROOM ASK FOR A FACT AND THE FACT WAS GIVING TO HIM. YES I DO MENTION RELIGION HERE BUT I DID NOT STRESS EMPHASIS ON IT JUST GIVING AN OVER VIEW.

GUY UNDERSTAND SOMETHING HERE RELIGION TEACHES US WAY OF LIFE UNDERSTAND.
AND HERE IN NIGERIA THERE IS NO ANY RELIGION THAT PERMIT INDECENT DRESSING AMONG WOMEN.

WE HAVE TO RESPECT OUR RELIGION AND CULTURE IN OTHER FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD.

hmm i doubt if we are making a head way in this country with this kind of "set backs"

this is the question we should all be asking and stop belabouring the politically correct "o it has nothing to do with sharia" point.
The police commissioners in Benue and Lagos are NOT answerable to the "95%" christians in those states!

I HAVE TO SHINE MY EYE WELL WELL TO READ THIS POST O.

GINI, SO TROUSER IS INDECENT?!

LET SOMEBORY CORRECT ME SHARPISH THAT THIS NOT WHAT BENUE STATE IS DOING

romeo:

Pls we should forget about religion. u talk as if christianity has no Moral value.
Have u forgoting that these girls has being harassing our human rigth, that is
they sedues we men in the sreat. It si good to stop them

Let's impeach Fashola.

This Benue governor no get levels. Let's impeach Fashola and teach all Nigerian governors a lesson.

A good step in the right direction!!

However there are other important things to be done to improve welfare in the state.

I refuse to be distracted by this singular act.

Though I presently do not live in Benue State, it is where I come from and we're predominantly christians. Its quite unfortunate how this thread tend out to blaming islam over what is happening. Though not in support of the dress code shit, I feel d whole exercise is got no religious backing. It is carried out under the pretext of socio-moral conduct. Therefore the issue of islam cum christianity, northerner or southerner shouldn't even arise.
What I suggest is women in d elite class should stand up now and fight 4 their rights. The same women activist who fight female circumcision and other ills against women shold stand to fight this one to a finish.

Let's Impeach Fashola. I don't know what y'all are waiting for.

I am sure what you read is a religious book and nothing else because your brain is locked

do you know what is human right?

Where will i go if that happens in lagos?

These states are going crazy!

This animals should be resisted by all means,we don;t just need islamic madness added to problems we already have,it will set us back another 500years.

When the government of Lagos state is arresting women for "bad dressing", who can stop the islamists?

We don't want be like countries like pakistan,afganistan,iran and almost all the middle eastern countries including north africa,living in the past as if this is the age of mohammed.It is one thing to be poor,adding absolute stupidity to it will be a terrible nightmare.

Yo, this my state that i luv so much is bringing me out again, WHAT D HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS STATE? From one controversy to the other, a state where u see sex written on all the inhabitants both the young and old. Men all the prayer wariors out there shld please pray for us.

In as much as christianity is fake,it doesn't forcefully trample on citizen's fundamental human rights.Nigeria is a circular state,religion should be totally abolished or remain in the background.What we need is common sense,not ancient ideas that have no significance in the 21st century world.I bet if mohammed was alife today,he will be in the realm of people like bill gate because he was smart enough to initiate an ideology in his time,he was not a loser like most of his followers today.
