What a
chilly weather here in Nairobi, Kenya am sure most of you are complaining about this weather as am. We must
say it’s a winter season in Nairobi, we have to get all the warm clothes from
our closet just to keep us warm right!!!
I was
surprised this morning as I went at the
stage to board a Matatu to come
at the office, as I was waiting for Matatu
a lady at the stage was wearing a micro-miniskirt and a slave less top she
wore is such that half of her breast were out, with beads on the waist and terrible make up I was like
OMG!!! This what I call indecent
dressing What a world we are living in?
Most Men in the stage were like Waaaaat she is this
she is that !!! At that moment I just wished I was not in that stage
.
Something
came up in my mind that were discussing with my fellow colleagues at the office sometimes back why one of my colleague
would marry a Village Girl maybe is because of this scenario, perhaps not a single day will a village girl dress
like this.
We are
living in a modern world which I agree but does it mean we go showing of
our belonging to each and everyone on
the street all in the name of Fashion?
I Remember
vividly the world that were said by one
of my colleague who said that he will marry a village girl I now get what he
was trying to say, he said,” Here in the city there so many beautiful ladies
than there are at the village, but have ever asked yourself why most of them
are not married? (just breathing in).
Nobody had an answer especially we ladies.
He asked a question City ladies are beautiful ,educated and some very smart but
would who take them to your mother at
the village for your mother to welcome them as your wive?,Nothing wrong with this city
ladies the only proplem they dress with half of her breast and
buttocks outside. The trouser she wore is such that half of her buttock was
out, with beads and terrible make ups
Indecent dressing simply means deliberate exposure of one’s
body to the public. This practice is contrary to the acceptable norms and
values of the society.
Moral decadence on the other is a
reduction in the level of morality in the society. Do you observe that most
children had gone haywire all in the name of the dressing?
Indecent dressing is the major cause
of the various assault and sexual harassment recorded in the society, over
time. As a result of civilization, Most ladies dress half naked to occasions
all in the name of fashion’ and this is contrary to the prestige placed on
African women.
The other day I screamed when I saw
a girl whose parent barely fed well, and I heard her mum telling her “to have a
nice day.”
Some girls have been embarrassed and
even abused because of their outrageous outfit.
As a teenager you must be cautious
of the kind of clothes you put on. Do you know your dress create impression
about you either positively or negatively in the heart of people?
Your dress could show if you are
responsible or irresponsible, serious minded or unserious. Dressing in a manner
that parents, society and religion frown at is not civilization. The way you
dress show whether you are respected or not.
Most youths now walk on the street
half naked, with tattered clothes all in the name of fashion. Many innocent
guys have been arrested along with armed robbers just because of the way they
dressed.. There is a saying that “you are addressed because of the way you
dressed.”
Nowadays, different styles of
dressing are in vogue – low west, hot bosom, sagging etc. All these have the
society’s moral value to its lowest ebb. In a nation that is endowed with
varieties of culture and traditions, it is annoying seeing this culture and
traditions going into extinction. Indecent dressing is an habit embraced by all
ages in the society. It has been inculcated by both the young and the old.
It is common among celebrities,
particularly among artistes. This set of people, while on stage will want to
look unique and in the process turned themselves into lunatic.
They wear tattered jean with holes,
tight fitting shirt, some even go to the extent of wearing ordinary pant while
on stage. All this is the cause of juvenile delinquency. Most of the under age
children engage in early sex as a result of what they watch on Television as
well as what they saw among their older siblings.
Sadly, most ladies have been sexually abused because of
their mode of dressing.The question is – who do we blame for these social
malady – the parents, the society or the peer groups?
Omwami (nickname of my colleague ) I clearly
remembered what he said to us ,” Men we don’t like our stuff being shown to every Dick,Harry and Tom.
