Someone that also said Jesus didn't identify with the poor during His earthly stint hence it is a crime to be poor? See their obsessions as so called god of men? The real LovePeddler is the Satan in sheep clothing. Tufiakwa

The comment I was looking for. You are wise.

Where did this belief originate from? Is it written in any law book that anklet-wearing is synonymous with prostitution? I like this to be verified before I can be convinced.

I work 9-5, and I do legit, honourable side hustles that pay me and further take my time. I divide my weekends between work and relaxation. I bring work home from work. I am a busy individual, a typical workaholic, but I also love to be fashionable.

I have more than 50 pairs of earrings, I love jewellery, I wear waist beads and I wear anklets and unapologetically so! I don't think anything special or out of the ordinary for these things. I see them as no more than elements of fashion.

At times, I'm a plain Jane with no blings, and at other times, I'm fully decked. I do me! No pastor or lifestyle coach will tell me how to dress up and please people. It's about how I feel at each time. No pretence!

Lumig:
For the first time in a while, I seem to be in sync with him.
Though it may not be true in all cases, but the first thing that comes comes to mind is "I am a prostitute and available".
No lady that is well brought up will hang a chain on her ankle

What you stated are perceived motives.

If ibiyiome isn't a pastor, maybe a twitter sensation he's free to make such wide unfounded claim

You don't preach as a pastor and start talking about leg chain etc all what he said are what any layman who doesn't know Christ will say, a pastor should be different.

If you preach Jesus Christ, and your congregation is saved, they will directed by the holy spirit in dressings

FashionCookie:
Opinion are like asses, everyone has theirs. What do I care what people think or not?
Nobody is feeding anyone or who cares?
Before the coming of the white man, can you sincerely say Africans were not using these things?
Or has religion so washed off your senses that you don't think anymore?
You can as well say "all women in India are prostitutes."
Wetin we no go hear 4 this country self! 😠

Oga calm down...

You might be right... But remember, "Aboki" was never an insult until some "invincible convention" made it so...

For Nigeria,
leg chain mean something.
Most families go discourage their sons from marrying a leg chain girl.
Ask yourself why?

It seems this man has exhausted his message...you do not generalize what you have no proof of,because I decide to wear an anklet,I qualify as a prostitute?

The question for you is did you check our history as Africa nd you saw our great grand mothers wear chain

Incase you are still naive, chain blacks wore down the history line is that of slavery ... big chain around the neck and leg, go to badagry you go the chains

Logically if blacks are wiser we shouldnt even be using chains .. it reminds the white they are still the master


Personally i dont even have any problem with leg chain, just setting the history straight

justli:
On this one the pastor is spot on though. Following your pattern recognition and data analysis, it's saved to argue that overwhelming majority of people who wear ankle chain are lesbians.

Lesbians wear them to announce themselves. Another significant percentage are prostitutes. They also wear them to say: "I'm available".

Them we have the segment of the users that wear it for fashion. So the question is, why should a decent woman wear something that identifies lesbians and prostitutes.

That lesbians chose to wear anklets as their sign doesn’t mean they started wearing them first. Anklets have been worn by African women and royals far before lesbians chose to adopt them.

Do you even know how lesbians announce themselves with anklets?

Any girl putting on waist bead, tattoo and leg chain is a potential olosho
Any girl wearing nose ring and more than one ear ring cannot be satisfied by one man
Exception 20% (that may likely become one)

What was your experience "today"?

Pastor deceiving his members for self gain is a thief

Oga, before the white men came, we were using these things.
I'm Ibibio. It's deep in our culture. Our kings and maidens not left out. Till tomorrow, some kings wear theirs in the leg/legs. You'll see some girls wear waist beads too. It's not new.
Which one be all these plenty talk about prostitution and all other nonsense!?

b0rn2fuck:
Not all, .....Dem no dey right prostitute for head

There are several ladies who cover up from head to toe,attend all church functions and pray like they are possessed by the spirits but are still selling their bodies.....there is now a very thin line between morality and sexuality.

That's why I said, everyone is free to whatever nonsense they choose to believe.
We judge too much and don't mind our business.

Someone that call himself pastor preaching like person talking at a newspaper stand

b0rn2fuck:
Not all, .....Dem no dey right prostitute for head

I love dem leg chains and even encourage my significant order to put it on often.....it always looks nice on her.

Antichristian2:
Islam is not against women adorning themselves for their husbands. Exposition of adornment is sinful. And if it's cultural that wayward people uses a thing then that thing will become disliked for us too!

A woman can use leg chain but only his very close family may see it.

What about if a woman wears powder, lipstick or contact lens?
How will she ensure that only her husband sees it?

That's his opinion thou.
My wife wears legchain and I'm oowkay with it...

Especially the ones in your church sir.

This preacher is being controversial and is gradually losing his relevance

10billionDollar:
This is a type of logical fallacy where a conclusion is drawn about a population or situation based on a small or unrepresentative sample.

Leave English. Leg chains on women in Nigeria is different from leg chains on women in other places. Initially, it was adopted by lesbians (they are still prostitutes by the way), later runs/hook up girls keyed into it.

Go do your research. Which sample is small or unrepresentative? Take note that he's not saying women are prostitutes. He's only saying that ladies who wear leg chains are prostitutes. So, I still challenge you to go do a research and if the result doesn't return 80-90% positive then feel free to counter him, but I bet you 80-90% of ladies with chains on their leg are prostitutes—whether married or unmarried, and you can easily generalize such result to the larger population with the same lifestyle.

Ask yourself why?

Those that are arguing and attacking, how many of them would marry girls with leg chains? Check their past comments....they are what belong to the street shall go back to the street crew.

If they don't opposite every post on forum, they would have peace of mind.

That's what happens when you ascribe you thinking faculty to men in suit on altars

The issue is why should a pastor make such wide statement

A pastor should know better

The Bible even said we should be cautious of our statement

No empirical research even prove his claim

Maybe he doesn't know what prostitute means

Even prostitutes don't refer themselves as it

98% are prostitute sleep with "men" 1% are ogbange 1% lesbian. Let him continuing to deceive himself.

belikewater:
Before adopting a fashion alien to your culture try and understand what it signifies, although wearing an anklet in other cultures has nothing to do with promiscuity however you can be assured that whatever enters the Nigerian space would automatically get corrupted so I believe the man of God on this one, if you doubt him go around and do your own data-gathering.

our ancestors wore leg and waist beads. It didn't start today but the coming of the Europeans with their religion made us abandon such but like everything fashion, it's resurging

Why are there zero sermons on the way men dress, act, and speak?!? What is this fixation with women 😡

APOPTOSIS:
Always talking Nonsense
Always saying Trash.
So Iranian, Indian and Masai ladies who wear such are all prostitutes.
Keep Talking Rubbish!.
Educated but no common sense!

it's their own heritage and culture values . Not Nigerian culture. Tell your sisters to stop copy copy, that's why they are tagged as prostitute. Those you mentioned Iranian, indian e.t.c 95% of them wear those ornaments, adornments because it's their culture there. How many Nigerian women wear such, only very few unreasonable ones.

It all balls down to fashion if you criticize leg chain what will you say about necklace they're all for fashion I even bought some for my wife because it looks good on her my take

God1000:
https://punchng.com/ladies-who-wear-leg-chains-are-prostitutes-says-pastor-ibiyeomie/?
