Ambassador to Singapore has advised
Nigerian women to dress decently so that
they can be addressed properly. Okpara,
who gave the advice on Tuesday in Abuja in
an interview with newsmen stressed the need for women to dress decently. She said that the adage `the way you dress
will determine the way you are address`
was still relevant in the country and across
the world. She said: "I think it is important
for women to dress well, keep fit and take
good care of themselves. "You can dignify yourself as a lady by the
way you dress; you don't have to expose
your body indecently. "If you do that you
are indirectly telling people that you are
available for use. "In as much as we are all
craving to look good, I am also of the opinion that we must dress decently." Okpara appealed to stakeholders in
Nigeria's fashion industry to discourage
female artistes from dressing indecently.
"They should ensure that our culture and
traditions are obeyed and not thrown away.
"Lately you see Nigerian women across the world exposing their body and ignorantly
calling it fashion. "My advice to the fashion world or people
going into fashion is to maintain our culture
and to also respect the dignity of
womanhood,'' she added. The
ambassador advised Nigerian women to
ensure that their voice are heard in the society by voting in the February general
elections.
