A SLOW SLIDE BACK TO EDEN
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Every evening taking a ride or a walk from my home to the gym or on a nature capture evening with my camara, i cant help but marvel at the rate at which the bulk of creative work in the Nigerian fashion is tilted towards NUDITY. Why do designers keep chruning out out fits so provocotive? whats up with this creaze about skimpy dressing?

dressing well reflects kinds of persons you are3. it takes some thing so incredibly small to make your entire out fit look completely dated, old or out of style; but most at times our dressing makes us end up looking like a complete fashion disaster.

a great number of nigerian youth ape what they see on TV, Vedios, internet and other media, they watch raunchy musical videos where ladies are often scantily dressed in super skimpy outfits that leave eve3rything hanging out while ironically their male counterpart are fully dressed and 100% covered. they think the half naked ladies look cool and thereby emulate them.

our eyes are always under attack. so every where you turn, there is so much flesh on display: on the streets. at parties offices, TV, billboards. all kinds of shape assault the eyes-the classic hourglass, the pear shape, the apple shape, the pencil shape and the no shape.

shocked i screamed what a restless slide back to Eden, what street pornographic shows we have with all causion thrown to the winds. what kind of outfits made from flimsy, ultra transparent tulle materials, so revealing which leaves the body and all its natural assets on display.

on one of my outings, i tagged "TOASTING SPREE" aimed at carrying out survey on the reasons why lots of girls on Nigerian campuses go for the skimpiest outfits; spaghetti tops, super shot skirts, low rise jeans, low cut jeans, low cut tops and dresses with thigh high slits revealing tops among other things, the reason put out to my dismay was " LOOKINGT GOOD" my next question was to impress who? unfortunately answers i got where insults.

the question now is do we want to slide back to Eden? where are we heading to? most of the youth i met have big dreams beyound their years, but a great number of them are dreamless, they believe in illusions, which will only evaporise sooner or later.

i wake up every day celebrating God's goodness , kindness, and faithfulness. i believe in Nigeria and the Nigerian youths, i believe the God of Nigeria, i look forward to a Nigeria where our women and young ladies will know the respect and dignity and wealth that COMES OUT OF DRESSING AND LOOKING GOOD, they will always know that " the race is not for the swift, or the battle to the strong, nor does good comes to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favour to the learned but time and chance happen to them all.
