I was embarrased and shocked to my bones when I saw Mrs. Obasanjo clapping and smiling at a fashion show where one of the contestants had one of her breasts completely uncovered, and the program was aired on NTA Channel 5, Abuja. Its a shame!
Why would such girls not be raped? My friend, you have to get something straight: there is no excuse for rape. Even if a girl is walking about naked in a boy's hostel, it is still not an excuse for rape. If a girl comes to your room in the middle of the night and is dancing around your bed naked, you still do not have an excuse for rape. If a beautiful naked girl approaches you in the middle of the desert and gives you two hot slaps on the face, you still do not have any excuse for rape. If you decide to rape a girl for any reason including the ones I have listed above, you will spend the rest of your life in jail. Amen. It is like someone saying "my teacher punished me for something I didn't do and so I decided to kill him." |

Personally, I don't care what people say bout me. I dress to please myself and not to attract anybody's attention.
I love to wear short skirts, (especially on weekdays). It's not because I want to expose my legs, it's just that I look cute in them.
I believe so much in dressing because it goes a long way to tell who you are. That is why ladies have to be more particular bout what they wear. They don't really have to expose anything to attract a man. Dress like a nun, if a guy likes you, he would come after you.

Yeah Tayo, I agree with you, you should look cute and confortable in whatever you have on as dress. But this should not mean you dress naked(almost) to satisfy yourself, though seeing girls dress (half) naked makes me crazy but I still believe if a lady dress that way to attract us the men, for me oooo I go try get her and have what i have with her (i go see all that she was exposing and working on them) then waka. because u don't (wont) know the number of guys(men) that will want to see all that she can give (which she dey show for half).
There are dresses that a lady will have on that are not exposing but we make them look nice and attractive.

I still havent seen any of thos complaining about how women dress, making moves to go and live in afghanistan. Since you prefer to see women who are clad in black all day, all year long.
Aint nothing wrong with a woman showing a bit of skin. And if we all want to come down from our moral high horses, is there any man who would tell me he don't like peeking down a cleavage? Yeah some dress outrageously but last time I checked, Nigeria is a democracy and this is part of the reason we all fought hard for democracy, FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. If they want to dress like that, good luck to them. Only fathers,mothers and husbands can complain. If a father sees his daughter going out and he doesnt feel uncomfortable with it, then who are u to start shouting about it?
If you don't like it then close your eyes or better still, put on sunshades. Am going to get some pictures of what is called outrageous dressing and then you'll all see that naija girls never even start.

Seun, don't get me wrong. I do not support rape in any way! What I am saying is that girls who expose themselves indicently equally expose themselves to depraved minds (and u know there are lots of them in Nairaland).
I'm not a rapist. Ka ji ko?

I understand. But the thing about rapists is that they don't have horns on their heads. They are human beings like you and me and they have ways of justifying their actions. Most times they rape people who know them and won't report (girlfriend, friend's girlfriend, niece, neighbour) so it's not as if they are monsters jumping from the bush. ( reference). |

Thanks benmike, thank goodness you are a guy!
That you want to attract a guy(which is why some put on such clothings) does not mean you should bare it all or half, what's left of him to see when you finally get him?

what's left of him to see when you finally get him? In other words, you are showing the men a free sample of what's in store for them in the bedroom. Fair enough, but I don't understand is why ladies who are married or engaged, or those who claim to be in committed relationships, also dress in this manner. Why advertise something that is not for sale?  |

But i taught only "Ashawos" sell their body? or what did you mean SEUN !! Exposing your body is a sign of just upholding the virtues of freedom of dressing. If we do try to look at it from another angle that is, neglecting cultural and religious values. This shouldn't be a problem at all. But then again this is what governs our views and livelihood. So i guess either you uphold your cultural and religious background or you neglect them totally. Thats only what can govern your opinion on exposure of the body, especially in the case of exposing the breast.

...this is a result of deplicted social values and lack of respect for our neigbours(if so one would not be self centred about freedom of expression while infringing on another man's freedom of sighting). when we Africans tries to dump our own culture for a white mans own. It's so cracy sometimes I tell u, talk of some married women as well wearing lace materials that are riddened with holes big enough to fit my head with no underlining and u would see there bra that is hardly covering their breast, to the glare of as many as are intrested in the viewage at o wa be parties on saturdays and even on thanksgiving sundays in church. The other painfull aspect is the stupid price tag on such lace materials. what then would u expect from there daughters? In the days of old after wearing simi(underdress) they would wear buba and still use wrapper to cover the breast(triple protection u would say) |

Most Nigerian girls are crazy and as a result of that they believe that if a guy should see part of her inner body he would fall or he would go like  but it is not so. |

Jesmiel, I quite agree with you but really things have changed from the "triple protection days" wouldnt you agree? It is certainly unfortunate to see our ladies reveal what, as it were, is their treasure. Very bizzare!!! Girls! Girls! Girls! Lets talk - you will not attract a responsible man by showing off your breast and such. So stop it if you have been doing same. |

I fail to see what all the hoola baloo is about. SO they used to wear simi in olden days, why don't you go about wearing soro and dansiki? Look last time I checked, Nigeria is a free country and we are in the 21st century, there is such a thing as freedom of speech and expression, if you don't like the way some women dress for heavens sake close your eyes on the street and stop complaining. If any man does not complain about what his wife or daughter is wearing wetin be ya own?
In any case, not to throw any mus hia, covering yourself from head to toe does not make someone a saint. Capisce?

Really I sent this topic for an open discussion because I felt that ladies this days are really threatening men will power by their dress sense. I felt that I should seek other peoples opinion on this matter because it is becoming really alarming. I tell you the rate incent dressing is on geometrical progression. I yell you that some years ago I happened to be in one location where a lady had a problem with her car and she needs to open the engine of course in that process she had to bend down. realising that her blouse is a bit lose She held the upper part very well to avoid thos passing by haveing a glimpse of what is inside. Now compare this with current situation when ladies flunt the any part of the body with reckless abandoment. What these crop of ladies felt to realise is that they setting men on fire, because while they are set on fire most time by touching and all those stuff, men most often are by what they see. I think really that ladies should really be spoken to review there dress sense, they are gradually killing men |

'wetin dey do all you 'yeye' guys on this topic sef'? You are all pretenders o! I am 100% sure of that. You are all making it look like you don't love to look at cleavages! Especially that of a light complexioned lady ... hmn there's no sane male in the world who doesn't.
Why give ladies rules on how to dress..?
As a lady I put on what is comfortable for me, regardless of what one man is thinking. I mean, how in the world would I be clad in an overall when the weather is so so sunny? Afterall you guys like to put on Cotton shirts, linen shirts, body tops & the likes just to cool off the heat. Don't you know that all this your dressing attracts ladies too, especially for the broadchested males?
So what is wrong with a lady having a button undone? Her cleavage is going to show but its not all ladies that do it to attract you guys o!
I have it, and I flaunt it with decency and sense and to my satisfaction.
To ladies: dress with decency.

I mean, how in the world would I be clad in an overall when the weather is so so sunny? Rubbish. You cannot blame the weather for your indecent dressing.  Why don't men go about half-naked? Why is it that men hardly wear shorts in spite of the so-called sunny weather? Why is it that men's collars are usually smaller than women's collars? Why do men hardly wear sleeveless shirts? Why is it that the party wear for a man is a suit which covers the whole body (in spite of hot weather) while party wears for women tend to look like towels wrapped scantily arond the mid-section? So the truth is that women dress the way they do simply to attract men. It has absolutely nothing to do with weather. Women apparently feel that there's nothing they have to offer intellectually, and that the only way they can make men like them is to show off their bodies? |

Oluwaseun 'Gabriel' Osewa, I am proud of what I have, I am proud of what God has given me. If I feel like flaunting it, is it a crime? I agree with Pinky, you guys are nothing but pretenders especially you. I do not dress to please anybody (so long as it makes me comfortable) and I don't care what people say about me. If you dress like a nun, people would talk bout u; if you decide to wear skimpy clothes, they would still talk so what is the essence of making myself uncomfortable by covering every part of my body. I beg I need fresh air to circulate all over my body and Seun please be very careful bout what you say to women. You know when you throw a ball at a wall, it would surely bounce back. I hope when I see one of your sisters, I am not going to open my mouth in total disbelief!!! You know what I mean, don't you? |

Gosh! seun did you just abuse women this way! Don't you have close relations who re females? Are you not going to get married to a woman? I can't help myself; I simply do not understand why women do the things they do and make the decisions they make. I am just trying to encourage women to reason more deeply about their actions and not just to follow instinct. If my sister(s) or lady-friends decide to dress for "fresh air", this is only further proof that I am right. Question: Why do women wear skirts instead of trousers like men? A skirt is a flimsy piece of clothing that can be blown up by the wind to reveal what is under it. You can't run/climb well with it without showing people what they don't want to see. Knee-length skirts go 'up' to show your thighs when you sit down in a bus. Meanwhile trousers, worn by men, cover the entire legs up to the shoes. If girls are going to wear trousers, they were this tight type that shows all their shape! Why? Isn't there more to you than your figure? Why do most men feel inclined to cover up more than women? |

I think I aggre in totality with Seun. Women have something more than to get "fresh air". The question I want ladies to answer is if dressing the way they do has really brought to them what they are looking for rather than hiss and insult. I tell you another expirience, I was at Balogun market on day like that then one lady like dressed to get "fresh air", then come and see what the Traders did to her I am sure she will not try it again. So for those who dress like that beware!!!!

Women apparently feel that there's nothing they have to offer intellectually, and that the only way they can make men like them is to show off their bodies? In your bid to talk about female dressing, Seun you did not have to go that extent of uttering such distasteful statement alright? Ladies, I have to be sincere with you. Let us stop deceiving ourselves. Yes, you got to dress to suit yourself, to be comfortable but not to the extent of exposing all. I mean what other "fresh breeze" do you need in so much that the neck of your top has got to be cut so low as to expose almost half of your breast. Of course you would look rather funny dressed all covered on a sunny day but that is not to say one should walk with the breasts half covered Crasy fashion, peer pressure and guys(o yes) tend to make one dress in such ways but then let's not be decieved. These same guys would admire you to your face but would say another thing at your back. |
