Our weather is made for scanty dressing, don’t say it is unafrican- Aisha Yesufu
Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu has lashed out at those saying it is unafrican to be scantily dressed.
In a tweet she shared on twitter, she stated that our weather is made for scanty dressing as it is how our ancestors dressed.
Aisha who also addressed those who say their religious beliefs stops them from dressing scantily, told them to stop imposing it on others as it is their own personal belief
She tweeted;
“When people say it is unafrican to scantily dress I wonder which Africa? Our weather is made for scanty dressing and that’s how ancestors dressed. Go check the pictures of your grandparents and ancestors. Tattoos, scarification, tribal marks, men plaiting hair are all African
“If you want to say your religious beliefs stop you from dressing scantily then that is your personal business. Don’t impose it on others or say it is unafrican to be scantily dressed. Africans are people with control over their desires. Find your lost control
“For the religious police, you were told to LOWER YOUR GAZE not harass anyone
that true dear
this a Muslim wear u people should stop putting it on weather
If You Agree With A Woman When She’s right, Congratulations On Being Right And Wrong At The Same Time!!! For our protection our health.
Weldon woman who said so, dress anyhow you like.
If our culture allow us to dress simple, we shouldn’t allow that to make us dress like the people who doesn’t have culture, we should dress morally to let the people know that we are really have good culture.
They way you look is how they address you. Appearance show for themselves
Yes, religious should also have impact in our dressing because if we dress unholy it will tell on our religion. Culture is different from religion and we should not mixed up things together. At anybody can dress about his/her religious view.
My take. Your dressing is your choice nobody should criticise anybody on his dressing style.
Fact
Some religions don’t mind weather o, you must dress as the law said. But if you really mean what you are saying then why dressing like that, bcoz what am seeing there that you are wearing is not scanty
Yes she’s right our weather is made for scantily dress, in continent like Europe they dress according to the weather outcome and not base on religion.
it really funny dressing is all about choices you can’t forces me to put on what I don’t like
Dress the way you like is by choice
Everything for religion with evil intensions.
Yes our foreparents dressed scantily may be because of the type of hot weather in Africa.
Any one who is talking of religion in connection to dressing, should follow his or her own belief and leave others alone
This is a free world and everyone has his or her own choice of life as far as that choice of life does not affect anyone adversely
