You are a weak minded bloody hypocrite! As if you will allow your 7 year old daughter to run around naked even in front of your brother or father..I am sure they are not paedophiles..you all just want to sound western and enlightened but end up sounding stoopid! Even the in the West, people who still frown at kids wearing inappropriate dressing abound in their multitude..

Shorts, inappropriate? Please how? Predators don’t prey on anyone because of how the person is dressed. We have females who are covered from head to toe who get raped. Rape doesn’t have anything to do with sexual pleasure. It is a mind thing.

selfemployed:


Your kind with lack of home training are the main problem of Nigeria. The same way your parents couldn't train you on how to talk, is the same way the parents of the 7 year old girl couldn't train her on how to dress. You end up destroying the social system, but transfer the blame on others.

FYI I'm a Christian, but the truth will always remain that Muslims got it right on proper dressing for women than christians. And maybe also on alcoholism.

I know people like you don't like to hear the truth.

So why are they still being molested?

USUKUMA:


asin eh, lmao.

the thing is that kids this days grow like agric fowl especially the girls i saw a 13 year old looking like a 17 year old unlike our time when we grow according to our age some nigerian people no like advice 2 men come to una studio to give una advice una repay them with accusations nigeria too like copy copy abeg see asian countries with rich culture and morals we no see them to copy na western nudity style we want

Basiljoe:


You retardds should read this sensible writeup above and try to borrow a little bit of common sense, just a little, it won't hurt.

Why do we lock our doors?

Isn't it to prevent thieves from stealing our valuables?

Does it mean everyone is a thief?

No. Means you're just taking preventive measures to keep thieves away.

My comment is a sensible one, with logic.

Yours on the other hand is shameful and void of civility.

good thing say most of our kids no dey grow like their mates for the western world, pedophilia for be Naija capital. I wasn't impressed with the replies the men got on there. I've also come to conclude that 95% of nigerian women are the reason our country's average IQ gets ridiculed

AkpaMgbor:

Kids shouldn't wear bum shorts because it is inappropriate! Inappropriate!! Inappropriate!!!

It certainly is NOT inappropriate. Your seeing that as inappropriate is probably a product of your upbringing and your environment. It is actually the mind of anyone who will sexualize a child that is inappropriate.

AkpaMgbor:

The same reason why YOU won't wear it in certain places in public is the same reason why a little girl shouldn't be wearing it at all..I hate when people support bullshyt that they themselves won't date to do..just to sound 'woke' and play the devil's advocacy on a matter that is straightforward.

careful.
You sound angry. We're only having a conversation. Plus I'd wear bum shorts anytime, any place. But you're right. It's very inappropriate. Because any that wears bum shorts is indirectly saying she's wants to be raped. Inappropriate. Even female racers and wrestlers shouldn't wear bum shorts. They are at risk of getting raped at the track or wrestling ring. Inappropriate. Even girls at the beach. Why wear bum shorts or bikini when you can put on suit? Inappropriate. We shouldn't wear bum shorts because it's our fault that bad men exist. Inappropriate. Girls should be told how they should live their lives simply because they are girls. Inappropriate. Because a man said its inappropriate.

kennygee:
Who bred the men of this generation?

Did five year olds dress like this in our part of the world in previous generations?

I am not making excuses for the men with pedophilia tendencies but you need to see the way parents dress their kids these days.

Go to malls, parks and parties and see how parents sexualize their kids by the clothes they buy for them.

We can't rule out the fact that pedophiles exist, do yourself and your kids a favour and dress them in age appropriate clothes.

You are blessed for this contribution, my lady.

Preetiex:
This is pure thrash, children that are decently dressed are also raped, what rubbish

We are not saying they don't get raped but what's on ground is that if you treasure something you will find a way to protect it,like someone rightfully said earlier if you buy an expensive phone you will put screen protector,not because you are careless but because sh1t happens and when it happens you won't say woe is me.but instead there's a chance your phone might survive the fall.same applies to a child,dress them properly to protect them,you are an adult and a guardian,you should know better.











This argument has clearly opened my eye to the reality we are facing nowadays,people don't use their heads to think anymore but follow the crowd.and it also shows we are slowly losing our identity as respectable and decent Nigerians .

uuzba:

Children ultimately copy whatever they see adults doing.
On judgement day, God will put you on one side, show you all the sins that you sinned, then show you all the people who copied you and sinned similar sin because of you.
As for those that do good, the same applies. God will show you all the good you did and all the people that copied you because of that good and did similar good. Only God can calculate all the mathematics inside judgment. That's why he is God.

Learn now what is right and wrong. You know that men are sexually attracted to females appearance. So whatever the age, please do not assist the attraction.
A lot of influence comes from foolish TV (DSTV), talkless of internet.

Wait a minute!
It's my fault that men are attracted to women?
Its my duty to make sure that he doesn't rape me?
So it's now my fault that some people see me as a sex symbol?
And talking about judgment. So I guess you're saying I'll go to hell for wearing bum shorts. Jesus Christ. What are these men turning into?

My goodness! I just instinctively knew that most of you 'women' supporting little kids wearing bum shorts were doing so through the 'men vs us women' lenses..if you were being attentive and not emotional you would have seen where I explicitly said that even my boys will dress their age...one can't have a normal discussion on this site without the gender card being thrown and littered everywhere!

If supporting modesty in all things(especially when it pertains to children) is as a result of my upbringing then my parents did a damn good job raising me up..

AkpaMgbor:

Bum SHORTS you called it.

I wonder why people would not talk for both sides. Of course train your daughters well too

Congratulations!! Your definition of modesty does not have to be universally accepted.

StaffofOrayan:
Hijab plus robe plus socks plus shawl won't protect your daughter from a pedophile, girls get raped in Northern Nigeria, in most cases 'legally'.
I reckon pedophiles are more interested in taking a child's innocence than anything else.

I know there will be lustful men even if ladies were to dress like cloistered Nuns. But should we say cos burglars still break into houses with full burglary proofs, then we jettison in toto the ideal of securing our houses? those men were just pointing the obvious, you dont train up ur child negatively on dressing modes. it is wrong in all ramifications. even now mothers re dressing their kids in bum shorts and sexy attires even to places of worship all in the name to get on trend.

I worked in an office sometime back and my colleague got angry with me in course of a general conversation on indecent dressing. She is plump, stout and chubby. When she was in primary school, she went to school dressed in body hugging, curves revealing and short skirt. The teacher disapproved and tongue lashed her and she felt dejected, traumatized and bad. She was complaining, while we were having that discussion, about her male teacher's orientation and assumed that he was sexualizing her as a kid, based on that event.

The mistake I made was to boldly tell her that it was expected that every lady should mind what they wear too and that parents should endeavour to have their kids dress appropriately. She became aggressive, confrontational and almost physical but for the intervention of other colleagues. Honestly, I was shocked.

Come to think of it, we live in a very perverted world today. I hear babies being raped and I can't comprehend what the adult rapist was thinking or the feeling he derived from it. But for the insanity in the society today, men are often moved by what they see. Hence, I feel ladies and men can wear whatever suits them but with caution and consideration of the influence their wears have on others.

I apologize to the lady folks, especially the slay mamas and those who love to dress provocatively, but we must all realize that there are some people that can not keep their pervert demons in check out there. Their pervertions are often triggered by what they see.

They are in the churches, mosques, schools, streets, environment and everywhere. Oftentimes, they look well behaved and respectable.

"... will dress their age... "
Are you saying that girls get to a certain age where they can wear bum shorts?
And then at that age it's appropriate?
Your statement sha is contradicting the previous one. Anyway sha... Your life, your business.

flyca:
Why would anyone look at a five, seven, eight year old kid (boy or girl) with lust even if they were na.ked?

When I was younger, you see kids that age bath in pavements outside the house, in the streams or by the riversides with innocence and no one harrassed them. What changed?

Why are we so religious yet so pervertious?
Even full-fledged adults wear bumshots abroad (including non-religious countries) and no one bats an eyelid! In my company, it is okay to wear bumshorts to work. In fact, nobody even thinks anything is wrong with it.

So the problem is not the kids, but the paedophilic adults who have everything configured in the minds of their lustful desires.

In Nigeria, underaged girls are raped (even hijab does not stop rapists!). It's not the kids, it's the adults. Don't blame the child or their parents, blame the soceity. The evil people going around stealing pants, should we blame the pant for enticing them?


Blaming a child for being raped is the same thing as blaming a car owner for his hijacked car! Very unbecoming! And neausating!

Your write up shows ignorance in some aspects . You did not hear about rape etc at young age or in the village because the information did not get to you. It could be easily hidden. Today, we have smartphones with camera and social media. EVERYTHING can be easily communicated to the masses. This is how you now get to hear about all these atrocities.
Or do you think we are any bit holier than the people of Sodom and Gomorah?
We are so religious and yet so perverted. Yes! People go to church to pray and beg God for forgiveness because they are constantly and continuosly commiting sin. Sexual sins!. Abortions, masturbation from pornography. It is ALL ON THEIR PHONES. Delete the browser history and you think the person is a saint. You have no idea what people do when YOU ARE NOT THERE LOOKING AT THEM.
Western countries wear bum shorts -Does not mean that it is correct. Computer viruses, Trojans, pornography, First and Second World war, abortion, all manner of legalised evil started in the Western world.
We are hearing about it now because of the internet transmitting such information UNCHECKED, UNREGULATED, Direct INTO our smartphones here in Nigeria.
It is thesame western world that has the highest rate of sucide, that caused the credit crunch, that 9/11 happened, that school children randomly shoot each other dead. So never idolise western world.
The problem is you and the kids. You have copied western world and the kids have COPIED YOU. And will now go out to the road to tempt weak men who will comit another crime on the Kids.
Evil is like coal tar (or chewing gum). You stick one finger in it and it GUMS all your other fingers. Before you know it, you are completely stained all over with it.

From the comments so far from page one, it's safe to say that most Nigerian men are sick and need help!!!

How can you tell me that bum shorts are inappropriate for a child of 5?

What you guys should say is that the Nigeian society is no longer a safe place for a girl child (even a baby girl still breastfeeding) to expose sensitive parts of her body.

It's not the baby's clothes that's the issue. It's the mentally sick, morally depraved, conscience dead "Nigerian" man who finds a 5 year old girl in bum shorts attractive that is the problem.

"Children will remain children" was her comment, yet she forgets that adults still molest them. Why teach a child about his or her private parts and that no one is allowed to touch his or her private parts yet, we allow them to expose them in bum shorts .

The future just looks hopeless with this kind low level mentality spreading like virus nationwide. No doubt...our literacy rate is dropping...fast. Let's look at this thread. The poster... brings to our attention a piece that he thinks is interesting and good for discussion. Cuts and pastes the article.... inputs no comment...has no opinion.....just cuts and pastes...not only the point of discussion.... but a string of comments by users in that forum. Why?.. Are we here to read comments by those on another forum?...or to make and read our own?..and interact? Poster lacking...moderator who should know better ... clueless...square peg in round hole.
@ topic... the guys are correct... especially in this society where pedophiles run rampant. In this 21st century ignorant people will still be shouting why will an adult look at a child sexually?

An adult is responsible for his/her actions and is also responsible for the ensuing consequences whether for good or bad..kids should be protected as much as possible.

Salmoneus:


You know that even in countrries where their children cover up their whole bodies like India and the Middle East, children still get raped....it's the mindset of the adults not the home training STOP BLAMING CHILDREN.

I'm Not Blaming Children,i Am Blaming Parents Because They Are Perpetrator Of Such Evll,a Father Sleeping With His Female Child,there Is A Need Protect This Children When This Kind Of Act Is Done To Them,let's Preach Good Parental Responsibility

Why does the car owner have security features, alarms, locks and trackers on his car if he didn't need to protect the car?

Would you blame a car owner that parked her car in public without locking it and activating the security features if the car got stolen?

PUSSYBBQGRILLS:
The world has turned to something else. Imagine people defending rubbish.

Why must you encourage your kids to wear bum short and revealing clothes in the first place

Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Forget all these "sexualize" noise. Train your child to dress properly.

Honestly the social media has made everyone to say all sorts and push forward sickening beliefs and ideas

Someone earlier posted that these same hypocrites take painstaking efforts to protect their worldly properties like phones and cars..we all know theft is bad and people shouldn't covet or steal people's stuffs but does that stop thieves from stealing?? Will you keep your phone on a table in public and leave it there because, people shouldn't steal? How much more children??

I pity all the people abusing this two guys, by the time those perverts lay their hands on your kids...your eyes go clear.

Dress responsibly for your kids, let them wear bumshort when them dey indoor, when going outdoor they can put on bumshort but not those very short ones o, and you as a parent must have your eyes on them.

Leave dem, Most nigerians dnt av sense,....u nid to see d kind of clothes sm parents wears der daughters/kids all in d name of slaying. She will grow up believing those clothes ar normal. Next tin dey will start dressing anyhow as adults, jumping frm one car to d other, na dat tym d parents go begin complain. Pedophiles ar everywhere, if dey cn be attacking dirty little ones wey dey even wear gowns, talk more of d ones dressing anyhow.

Tank God say na Boys I get, girls wahala too mch sef.

OK!
Let me agree with your assumptions however, in the light of those assumptions, you should be guided in dressing your kids especially your female children or better still, relocate to countries or evironments where there are no perverts, maybe heaven.
