It is not unafrican to dress scantily – Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu

September 5,2020
Share:

Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu said its not unafrican to dress scantily as that is how our ancestors dress.

According to the activist, our weather is made for scanty dressing and that’s how 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.
