Prostitution is said to be ‘the business or practice of engaging in sexual relations in exchange
for payment or some other benefit. Prostitution is sometimes described as
commercial sex’.
‘Indecent dressing can be dressing as in
exposing your body in an uneven manner so as to arouse feeling of attraction... ‘Apparel that is intentionally revealing is indecent’. Also,
‘today's female fashion is downright pornographic’.
Let us make do with aforementioned definitions to avoid an
academic exercise,
of which it has helped thrown lights to the above title of morals and wellbeing of our society with
dressing.
May the soul and spirit of Late Alakoso Toba Opaleye rest in
peace. He talked extensively on the
indecent dresses of our youths and married ladies, its trending menace, in one
of his works he titled ASO ESU BELEKE. This was a song released about TEN years
ago. It has gone worse than he saw it,
how I wished the radio maestro was alive to see the development of dressing in
the year 2016.
He talked about short and mini but
today we see nakedness, putting on nylon and nets materials without underwear.
People barely put on dresses in the guise of fashion and vogue, or appeal, in
order to the catch attention of all eyes. In some climes and places, they
celebrated nakedness in the spirit of fashion and freedom. Nudity is celebrity wears on red
carpets .
Prostitution is about patronage, an invitation to teat . Any married woman in apparel that is intentionally revealing is
indecently dressed, if called a prostitute can’t be mistaken identity. A decent
woman must be well dressed, corporately clothed by all standard with all
modesty, and be good looking, not caught in the web of indecent dressing.
It is prevalent in the young, old, single, married, and all
colors. We are all affected in the trend, are we going back to the Garden of
Eden? Hardly do ladies and women mind the sacred nature of their body, pride of
womanhood is no longer meaningful, the pubic, or waste lines are all in the
glare of all eyes. Nothing is left for privacy of the home.
Parents are not bothered about their wards, Spiritual Fathers are helpless in worship places, and the
governments are not protecting the society on the streets and public places.
The supposedly married and society ladies are worst off , on corridor of offices and at
social functions are parades of indecent dresses. I think our mothers can do
better than what obtains now at homes and in public places, on rag tag dresses.
Media and entertainment industries
are agents and promoters of this scourge, their roles are huge and key, if any
positive action is to be taken to arrest the situation. They must live up to a
better standard of morality and decency. All the Red Carpets, Promotions,
Awards, Launchings, Modelling, and celebrity shows, are big theatres of immoral
displays. They intend to outwit one another in dressing and end up been nude,
trust the lenses for glimpse.
I don’t want to be engaged in the ‘for or against’ argument
on rights violation on legislations; my concern is decency, which is in
conformity with moral standards of every society. I mean the behavior or an attitude that
conforms to the commonly accepted standards of what is right and respectable in
the society. I think we can act and take a bold step among ourselves, each
society can determine ‘modesty or propriety’.
There are
limits to rights, as it offends other people since nobody is an island. People
have the right to be extremely mad, the government should therefore be ready to
provide treatments, camp, solitary, asylum, and other forms of protection for
the sane and innocent citizens.
We the onlookers are tired of
obscenity and torments, it’s an unwarranted anguish. These are signs of the end
time, which many are not willing or ready to talk or hear about but its
reality chokes us from all corners. It is so
obvious from the classrooms to the streets, offices to the markets and from
homes to religious places. Indecent dressings are all over the place.
Appreciably, private part of the body should be decently
covered and protected from all eyes. I am not justifying criminals or acts of
self-control, but these mindless acts often lead to molestation, rape and other
criminal vices. The menace is a scourge on the society, it’s better checked to
avoid unimaginable epidemic that can envelop us all.
Women; prostitution and dressing, an inter-twin relationship. It is so difficult to believe that an
indecently dressed woman is not a prostitute. The disregard is high and conspicuous;
the identification of a professional is same, except modus operandi. Prostitution which is sometimes referred to euphemistically as "the
world's oldest profession" is still very much alive.
Although the majority of prostitutes identify as female have male
clients , it would be unfair not to mention the man, a complete agent in the equation. The vulnerable
agents, men, are either promoters or captive in the trade. They benefit from
the wayward propositions and acceptance of the invitation to treat, in
completion of contract.
Engaging such women in discuss at occasions or on corridors
connotes sexual relations with prostitutes by passersby, very easy for
strangers to make quick conclusions of a trade contract in progress.
May God save
us all because prostitution and indecent dressing of any type is inseparable twins. No matter your excuse of looking good, my rights, my choice,
it’s one life, am an adult, am responsible to myself, and all forms of
rationalization, or call it ‘self-righteousness’. They are all flimsy and
indecent act, moral is either right or wrong. All others are unacceptable to
moral justification
