Nudity, culture and the Nigerian youths

By Luke Onyekakeyah
THE other day, the media reported a bizarre incident that happened in Macedonia, Southern Europe. A group of young ladies, tourists as a matter of fact, from the Scandinavia, arrived to a somewhat traditionally revered locality on summer vacation. The next moment, they were at the beach to swim and surf. That is not the matter. Before you know it, they stripped themselves stark naked to the chagrin of the natives and went bathing! The natives who could not believe what they saw were appalled. They rushed and dragged their little ones to their homes and shut their doors. The police shortly arrived the scene but was reportedly speechless and could not do anything due to the extremity of the manifested obscene behaviour. The natives who spoke to pressmen later confessed that they had not seen such happen in the area. That was real madness.
The incident portrayed the seemingly nude culture prevalent in the Western world. The obscenity has gone haywire in many countries to the extent that the sex trade has become a multi-billion dollar business managed by a highly connected cartel. This explains why trafficking in young girls to Europe for sex continues to boom. The preponderance of red-light street corners and sex shops in the West have more or less removed sanity from the mind of some humans. For the people that ravel in this denigrate behaviour, there is nothing wrong with them doing whatever they want to do with their lives. This includes engaging in unbridled sex in every ramification of it. Walking the streets half dressed or in bikini.
In the culture under discussion, prostitutes display everything on their body openly to attract customers. They make window dressing of their private parts, by displaying their nude bodies on street showcases. There are bikini saloons where the customers must enter in tight underpants and bra only for the women. There are nude parties where all members, both men and women must enter stark naked! It sounds like fiction but these things are happening in reality. Those in the sex trade daily devise new strategies to create wide appeal. Sadly enough, the depraved nude behaviour continues to gain new grounds especially in Africa and the other developing regions of the world.
The advancement in Internet technology has further worsened the situation. These depraved behaviours hitherto practised in seclusion have now been brought to the open using the Internet. The World Wide Web is flooded with a myriad of weird sites that display nothing but all forms of sexual escapades. The easy access to the obscene pictures and live wild sex on the Internet has tended to pollute the minds of young people in the developing countries of the world. Little wonders then why young schoolboys and girls flood cyber cafes everywhere in our towns. Why don't the same boys and girls flood the libraries where they would read and pass their examinations? The Internet provides an avenue to learn dastardly behaviour bordering on nude dressing and illicit sex. There is reason to believe that the pervasive effects of the Internet have begun to manifest in our culture.
When God created the first humans, Adam and Eve, He left them naked in the Garden of Eden. They were in a state of innocence and knew nothing else than that their God-given sexes were for procreation. Following their rebellion against their Creator, their senses opened and they became aware that they were naked. This made them seek leaves to cover their nakedness. Later on, God made better apparel for them using the skin of animals with which they covered themselves. They never went naked any more nor any of their descendants. Strictly speaking, therefore, man in a state of purity and innocence was made to be naked like the other animate creatures. But having lost that purity, it became necessary for humans to cover their nakedness. Any human who deviates from this standard behaviour to do otherwise reduces himself to the level of a beast. Beasts can go about naked without qualms.
Primitive cultures around the world have one thing in common among others. They tend to go naked and feel no shame among their folks. These people still share the original innocence and purity which man had at the beginning, which invariably permitted nudity. But things have changed. The modern man is vicious and wicked despite all the technological advancements. The exposure of the body in a supposedly civilised society is fraught with everything evil. The intention is wicked and the objective is to promote inordinate sexual pervasion and indulgence.
The Nigerian culture is not known to promote nudity in any form. The main ethnic nationalities that make up the country dress flamboyantly whether at home or at business. During festivals and functions, Nigerians display an array of cultural attires that have gained international recognition. From the Ijaws and Urobos in the Niger Delta, to the Ibos and Yorubas, to the Hausas, Fulanis and Kanuris in the north, it is the same traditional rich culture in our mode of dressing.
Some time in 1996, while I was in Nairobi, a member of Kenya's parliament dressed in Nigeria's traditional attire and came to parliament. The Speaker was displeased at the honourable's mode of dressing and told him to leave the chamber and go and change his dress. The member stood his ground and argued that he had not done anything wrong by dressing in African attire to parliament. He accused the rest of his colleagues of betraying the African culture by dressing in European attire to the parliament. It was ego boosting for us Nigerians in Nairobi. The Kenyan parliament has been working hard to evolve Kenyan traditional attire that would easily identify Kenyans wherever they are like Nigerians. For instance, if all the presidents in the world have cause to gather together for any event, it will not be difficult to recognise our President Olusegun Obasanjo because of his rich attractive Nigerian attire with which he has come to be known.
Ironically, while the international community admires our Nigerian cultural attires, what do we see nowadays on the streets? The youths, particularly the girls, prefer to adopt the indecent mode of dressing promoted by prostitutes and whores in the West. These misguided girls prefer to expose their dirty nakedness to public glare. Unfortunately, our level of development makes those indulging in nude dressing look stupid.
In Europe, the prostitutes who dress nude have their own cars and drive themselves to wherever they wanted. They hardly enter public transportation because they are easily recognised as whores. Not being aware of this, the misguided Nigerian girls who prefer to be naked in public don't have private cars to be able to drive themselves around. The economic crunch has robbed them of the goodies of life. Thus, inside Molue bus and the rickety buses operating in our cities, these girls rush and squeeze themselves in an attempt to enter the bus. In the process and to the chagrin of the public their breasts and buttocks are laid bare to public glare. The preponderance of commercial motorcyclists (Okada) doesn't even help matters. The girls sit behind the Okada with the entire buttocks and underpants exposed to the public. The question is does any sane person go naked in public?
The problem is that the girls indulging in these indecent behaviours lack knowledge. They are low class and lack integrity. In Europe and America, no decent woman dresses to expose her precious body. Some girls may refer to some popular music stars as the models they are imitating. But have any of these poor Nigerian girls asked how much these music stars make by appearing on stage half dressed? Does anyone see those celebrities carelessly dressed on the streets? Are they seen inside public buses? They may dress in a particular fashion during show biz, but normally they dress well. People pay to see those stars on stage. You don't see them free of charge. Is it foolishness for any woman to expose herself to the public free of charge? While people pay to catch a glimpse of the models being blindly imitated on stage, the misguided girls sell their bodies free and cheap to the public. They gain nothing but bad image and reputation.
The effects of nude dressing include rape, inordinate sexual indulgence, unwanted pregnancy, abortion and death. These ills have ruined the career of many prospective girls. Many are still on their way to destruction. Has any one been given a prize, award or honour anywhere for appearing nude? A beauty pageant (queen) that promotes nude dressing is fake. A queen does not appear naked in public. Queen Elizabeth II of England, among other revered queens of this world dress gorgeously well, fully covered from head to toe. Our culture is being eroded by negative acculturation.
Some institutions and personalities have made attempts to redress the ugly trend of nude dressing among young girls. The University of Lagos authorities have championed the campaign to enforce decent dressing on its campuses. Similarly, the Minister of Education, Oby Ezekesili had been outspoken in condemning nude dressing. Some churches have also adopted enlightenment programmes to educate the youths on the proper way of dressing. While these efforts are commendable, the Ministry of Culture should come up with measures to redress the ugly trend. This is a challenge to the country's youthful Culture Minister, Chief Fani Kayode. Where is the culture if our future identity is eroded?
