After two months in Zamfara, my libido had
dropped a great notch. I could pass for a
monk in thought and deed. These ladies were
graciously and totally wrapped. No curves to
behold, no stray cleavage and bra strap, no
busts, no bum; nothing to mess with your
head or thoughts and get your mind trying to
figure out whatever is under that see-through
top. Living there had some sort of purging
effect on my sight and consequently my mind.
The sacred parts of a female’s body gradually
started to become sacred again and seemed to
earn a right to be covered, and for once, I
began to admire and respect both the Hijab,
and the ladies who make a habit of wearing it.
And oh yes: I did find that brazen immorality
was very low in this part. The vibe was more
like – ‘if-you-want-her,-marry-her’ rather
than the ‘if-you-want-her-then-get-in-her-
pants’ idiosyncrasy that’s predominant down
South.
It seems our ladies just want to go naked.
We’ve watched the skirts grow shorter and
‘huggier’. We (everybody) let them wear two-
legged apparels for sports and better covering;
they turn it to ‘bum shorts’…perhaps for want
of fabric. They change from pants to tight as
undies, but knowing they had tights on...they
started to sit anyhow. The tight is now
leggings which they used to wear with a long
top to cover the bum. Today, in our faces, the
long tops disappeared, leaving us with plain
skin tight - a brazen case of underwear going
to school, work or church. Nowadays they
don’t even wear pants with it, and it’s getting
even more transparent! Today they wear see-
through tops with a flawless bra underneath.
Their tops must reveal bra straps somehow,
and the cleavage must come pouring forth!
Truth is, a lady who ‘shows some flesh’
torments a man’s senses far more than a
totally nude one, for men are turned on hard
by sight. Their imaginations run wild; they get
hooked; soon they become willing victims all
their lives. Women know this, I am sure.
I sometimes wonder how many young men
out there are addicted, perverted, and sexually
bedeviled by a few stray sights they happened
upon on the street all because a sister wants
to be called ‘sexy’. We lament that faithful
husbands have flown from amongst women,
we decry ill-gotten wealth. We lament that
standards have fallen, that men ask for sex to
give women jobs, roles, marks, admissions,
favours, contracts, money. And the United
Nations cries – emancipate the woman!
However, by your dressing you suggest that
‘sex’ is a currency you are willing to pay in
and start up this vicious circle of promiscuity
that’s killing the society. Jay-Z sings fully
clothed from skull to foot; the ‘add-on’ lady
simply wears thongs and wiggles her butt? I
feel certain that if a bill is passed banning
certain clothes in public, women will
vehemently protest their right to be naked, tell
us we are living in the stone ages all over
again; and fill us with all that ‘woman
emancipation’ mantra.
Consequently, our three-year-old boys have
learnt to poke at their sisters and classmates,
because you showed them how. Our sons
approach puberty, the site of nudity on the
streets pushes them ‘pornward’, and by 15,
they have pierced themselves with many
sexual sorrows. Such a boy will grow to be a
philanderer, a pedophile, an abuser of women
and an unworthy father. See how you make
perverts out of us. See why you must stop!
We all are culpable. From the man who
calls her ‘hot and sexy’, speaking more from
lust than love, to the lady who courts
attention at all costs, selling womanhood
short. From the father who’s not always there,
to the mother who feels she’s just being like
her generation…and refuses to scream, correct
and insist. From the media or marketing
professional who feels – sex sells, to the
customer service and public relations peeps
who think this lewdness is the best way to reel
in customers. From the designer of these kinds
of clothes, to the ‘stars’ who teach our kids
that this is how to be. We all are!
Hence, if women cannot all wear Hijabs like
the Moslem women do, at least get a moral
one, dress modestly!

you are wrong Sir, I read it all.

Well said. Ladies just want to be sexy every time. Then they wonder why guys see them as sex objects.

My brother tell them, I also had a brief time in zamfara, Those ladies are very decent, but some of them do indulge in sexual acts in the dark, I've seen a Hijab with four legs at night.
This is a nice write up...I hope our ladies learn from it, You mustn't wear a hijab but at least, Dress decently to avoid stories that touch; and to the guys, LOOK LESS AND LIVE LONG.

If only our ladies will listen and save our lustful soul. All of us have a role to play.
