@BABY

don't act coy  Wink

State Governors don't have control over the policemen in their states, explains why Tinubu was clamouring for state police so they will directly be under state control, but as for now the Police force is a Federal parastatal, so don't try make femionasan look stupid  Cool

are you femioshanistas spokesman? Grin

Indicency: who defines it?

I have a problem with some people who seem to argue that it's ok to arrest women for indecent dressing. The problem is that there is no acceptable nation standard on what constitutes a decent women's attire.

Given the lack of this std, local police controls or sex-starved, and horny vigilante groups constitute themselves into "decency police" determined to "arrest as many women as possible by the end of the day.

There is no better formula for female subjugation, and unwarranted abuse of power than arresting any woman you think is indecently dressed.

What are the female office holders saying, ie speaker Etteh, Senator Anyanwu, and co.

Anybody that says that the state governor has no control of the police, may leprosy strike his appendages lame.

When I was in Magodo GRA, Alausa was my backyard and I used to pass there everyday for almost 5 years. I know what happens there. Is it not the governor that institutes operation this and operation that?

The governor controls the federal police in his state except in a situation where his decisions are in sharp conflict with those of the Federal Executive government, then the police will have to obey the Federal Government.

Fashola is beginning to act like Lucky Igbinedion. When he doesn't know his job, he'll start creating activity for himself.

@kitaun

of course I never liked the idea of Tinubu using state funds to impose his stooge on Lagosians. Jimi Agbaje must turning in his yet-to-be-occupied grave when he sees how people are weilding Governorship powers.

Very soon, Fashola will send police to go around people's homes asserting anyone found with porn and X-rated movies.

Let's impeach him now O! This is the making of another Hitler/Bush!

@Afam,

It doesn't really matter if your end is being achieved or not. As long as it is done unjustly, we should not condone it.

Do not support dictatorship when it seems in favour of you now because it will one day turn against you and others will not stand up for you too.

Modest dressing can be encouraged through several means. Do you know that a lot of women embrace these new fashions because the old decent clothing are not in stores?

When a new sexy item of clothing is seen on MTV, importers just hound it in, abandoning previous types of clothing. Go to a boutique near you, all you will see is low waste jeans. Somehow or the other, even the women who don't want to wear them are finally forced to.

Let them regulate the new clothes coming in so that people who don't want to wear these revealing clothes will have options. That is government regulation. Not to go and illegally arrest Nigerian women for not breaking the law. It is crazy.

Abeg let's not support injustice because it is not being meted on us. You may find it funny, but most times, I don't look at girls on the street. In fact, I look away. I look away when I see flashy cars too. That's just my nature.

If a white woman should wear trousers to Murtala Muhammed Airport, will they arrest her too?
If a Scottish man should wear a kilth to Nigeria, should the police kidnap him?
When a Jamaican is at an occasion and his dreadlocks are noticed, should he be detained?

Let us not start defeating an inexistent and imaginary laws which do not have specific structure and definition.

There will be chaos!

@Denex,

I am sure I have been specific all along on what I am in agreement with. If it takes arresting women that practically bare all to the public to bring sanity to the way they dress I am in support of it.

I do not support the idea of arresting women because they are putting on trousers neither do I support the arrest of men with dreadlocks.

So, abeg, quote me correctly on what I support and what I don't support.

How come some people agreed with the UK when it wanted muslim women to stop using the veil and now they are against a plan to promote decent dressing in Nigeria? Is this a case of what is convenient for us to agree with or what?

@Afam

what the British did is illegal but that does not mean we should support an illegal act here in Lagos too. If Britain is not practicing democracy, it doesn't mean Nigeria should dip into utter decay.

Except a girl bares her nipples or her vagina in public, I don't see what she has done wrong?
Unless a man reveals his penis in a public place, he has committed no crime.

So why should such people punished when they flouted no law?

Are you now saying that the police should arrest people for breaking inexistent laws?

here we go again. The same baseless allegations, if what the british did was indeed illegal why did british human rights lawyers not call the government to order? since when did we start interpreting the british constitution for them?

but denex has a point here.
I am against indecent dressing too but it's not my business to force people to dress like me,my decent dressing may be indecent to say a deeper lifer and I'm a Christian too.

when the police or Fashola is given a free hand to arrest people anyhow,it could get to any extents.
We already agree there were no women dressed provocatively in that picture,what's next?
legislation on how people speak or gesticulate?
This must be curbed before we have an even bigger monster on our hands.

Isn't it shocking that people forget how our 'police' can look for a mile when given an inch? Imagine the police with pea sized 'abunna' running after the 'asewo' with all seriousness as a way to vent their frustration of not 'getting some'. What woman will even fart in their direction with all the stomach churning whiff of watery jollof beans emanating from their gruffly breath. I can assure you that 90% of these 'asewo' bounty hunters, the warriors and defenders of all men with microscopic wee wee will perform 'miracles' when left alone with a real 'asewo' yet they have the nerve to flex their muscles over college students and nursing mothers with their wrappers across their chests.

I will advice them, including the CP to work on their toasting skills so that they can easily win the heart of women instead of introducing 'roger me' in the guise of 'Kick Against Indiscipline (More like Kai Kai drinkers). Nonsense!
