Nigerian First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has warned Nigerian women against dressing indecently, saying it goes against Nigerian cultural values.
She expressed this in a recent interview on Arise News, where she encouraged women to reject nudity and adopt more modest fashion choices.
The First Lady also noted that many young women in Nigeria are trying to adopt Western fashion trends, but stressed that nudity is not in line with Nigerian cultural values.
She also pointed out that men tend to dress more appropriately, indicating the need for women to be encouraged to dress similarly.
Her words: “The message here is that we have to savage our children; we see the way they dress; they keep forgetting that Nigeria is where we are beautiful; at the moment, you can see what they showcase on the screen; we are fashionable, we see what is going on.
“We are not having a Met gala, and everyone’s nakedness is just everywhere, and the men are well clothed, so we have to do something; tell them the way it is; we don’t accept nakedness in our culture; that is not beautiful; it’s not beautiful at all; and they are all beautiful girls, and they should be confident to know they are.”
