Indecent dressing is becoming a culture in our modern day Nigeria; it is indeed a shameful thing to see our supposed future mothers dressed half naked, walking shamelessly on the streets, schools, markets and official work places.

Womanhood is supposed to be respected with dignity but these days it is being abused with the sight for mums dressing and exposing their bodies for all to see including their children. The way and manner people dress indecently is alarming these days; you see women, youths, young and old, even children dressing as it they do not care about protecting their bodies. As they say in the fashion world, “fashion comes around” but probably, we are now living in an era of modernization which does not entail covering our unclothedness with clothes and it is just like living in the blind days; the era of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden when nudity was the order of the day. But what will make a decent, virtuous and responsible woman be seen to be flaunting or displaying her thighs and breast in the name of fashion?
This situation is not only fast becoming a trendy practice, it is becoming an acceptable norm in churches, and most Nigerian movies produced by Nollywood that are supposed to teach the society about morals are rather capable of destroying the moral lives of children who have become the most popular movie-audience. The entertainment industry in Nigeria creates a burning desire in females to be like the actors.

Most young men and women see Nollywood and Hollywood stars as role models and tend to imitate their way of life including nude fashion sense. These days, because many Nigerian youths copy their way of dressing, ladies dress in clothes of musicians like Rihanna, Beyonce, Shakira, Ciara, and many others. But investigations reveal that actors, actresses and musicians only wear the type of clothes they wear for stage performances and do not wear such clothes as an everyday wear.
nowadays ladies now dresses like a male nd abandon our native clothes.
According to Mr. Paul Moses, most ladies especially undergraduate students have a terrible sense of dressing which sometimes brings serious doubt about their upbringing. “ Some of these ladies are from well-disciplined family background; due to peer pressure from their friends, they succumb to the temptation of indecent dressing as a way of advancing their sexuality. Some dress half-naked and behave like prostitutes because they want to belong to the big girls group. Some of the girls are crafty, when they go home to visit their parents, they change to another face and begin to dress in a way to cover their skin so as not to reveal the curves and anatomy of their body” he said. Indecent dressing can cause rape. If a woman dresses in such a way that she leaves half of her body outside, or wears mini skirts that exposes her thighs, she is likely to be a target of rape. According to Mrs. Rita Isa, “elderly women that are supposed to be the custodian of our culture and morals are not left out of this craze” “I just pray one day, people will not wake up naked all in the name of fashion, ladies involving themselves in this show of shame advertise themselves by indirectly saying they are available and no man really wants to marry a lady who exposes her body to everyone she comes across. Women who are world achievers dress decently. They are busy setting and breaking records. If women continue to dress indecently, what will they tell their daughters? While morality and decency is not against the female folks looking elegant, beautiful and adorable, there is a line you are not supposed to cross; imagine wearing a bikini that ought to be used for swimming or picnicking to the office or for other official functions. Some women think tight clothes are fashionable but in the real sense, women who wear tight short clothes end up walking like babies learning to walk for the first time. Tight short clothes embarrassingly expose body parts that are private to onlookers. Since movies are a major influence on the Nigerian youths, the relevant bodies need to screen the type of films that are released to the markets to ensure decency. Your dressing is meant to make you comfortable and acceptable in the eyes of society and most importantly glorify God therefore whatever you wear and realize within you that it is not befitting enough, you should withdraw because your clothing is supposed to bring you dignity, respect and identification not embarrassment.
