 DRESS CODE - HASN'T THE WORLD GONE UPSIDE DOWN?

 

I have always asked the question about dress code - for men and women, especially women and why dressing half naked seems to be a norm for the female gender today in the name of fashion and looking "sexy". The video below shows how much we have fallen in 60 years.

I have and will never support any form of violence against anyone (especially women) because of provocation and indecency or any reason for that matter. This speaks to the notion of sexual harassment or violence again women on the premise that they dress indecently. However, I do not understand why some women will want to expose their bodies in a provocative way - being completely oblivious that men naturally respond to what they see and connected to women first because of outward appearance. Just as many women respond to muscular men or rich guys, so do men respond to women who objectify the sexual parts of their bodies... I do not want to care how holy or sanctimonious that man may be, when a woman almost naked stands in your view, all kinds of thoughts pervade your mind..... it is senseless for our women folks to subject men to this type of constant torture and awkward situation in the name of fashion. Women feel offended when men look at them ravishingly when they expose themselves, but I say to such women, why create a problem and expect others (men) to provide a difficult solution OR why create an attraction become offended that people are drawn to what you are selling. Women will often say, look away or get a life. I say, "cover up please, nobody needs to see your shit." There are situations it is hard to change your view - if you are a teacher, a preacher, on the bus, train, or in places where it is hard to look the other way or move away..... The new trend now is that some celebrities are now taking nude pictures and videos of themselves in the name of self liberation.

You can imagine a world where men too dress wearing body hugs showing all their muscles and call it fashion - including formal dresses just like some women dress showing their chest line, short skirts, or wear sleeveless blouses, and see-through dresses, today. OR a world where men wear a special bag to show how much money they have or are worth... (these are what naturally attract women). This video shows that something is wrong... If you want to be sexy, do it for your partner in the privacy of your house and not for every Dick and Harry.

Religion apart, my point is this, the world needs to go back to a time when decency in dressing is the order of the day for everyone, men and women. Our women should stop creating problems with untold consequences. I bet you, harassment will reduce if things change.

STATE OF THE NATION - Nigeria takes one step forward, and ten steps backward...

I just came back from Nigeria . I traversed the length and breadth of the nation a bit in my three-week stay. Something is different about the country compared to when I visited last year.... The people are more desperate... Hunger has increased astronomically.... The gap between the haves and have-nots has further widened... You feel impunity in the air... You see police collecting bribes openly like we have not seen since the Shagari era in 1983... There are more law enforcement agents on the roads now, yet the crime rate has not abated... You see VIO , Road Safety, State Law enforcers, the Police, everywhere mounting illegal roadblocks... I heard things from those close to the seat of power about those who hold the reins of power, and I weep for Nigeria - it is beyond disheartening... Projects are being abandoned because a significant portion has been given as bribes to government officials like governors and ministers, including major monarchs - they all collect money for projects...

WHO SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT HAVE NUKES IN OUR WORLD TODAY?

I quote the father of nukes himself, Albert Einstein , “ Mankind invented the atomic bomb , but no mouse would ever construct a mousetrap ”… No nation should have nukes. If some would, then any nation who want should be able to… current situation creates a power imbalance because those who have it are seen as extremely powerful, and those who don’t are extremely weak nations… Here is a list of nations with nukes – declared and undeclared: U.S., China, Russia, Pakistan, India, France, UK, Israel, and North Korea . These countries host nukes from other countries – Germany , Italy , Türkiye , Belgium , Netherlands and Belarus … Many of USSR ’s former regions like Ukraine and Kazakhstan had nukes, and were tricked to give them up, a decision they all regret today. It is known that Japan , though do not have nukes, have capabilities to develop and launch them within a short time, even from the space. Why can’t other nations have nukes? Ownership of nukes is why Iran is holding the...
