THE INSPECTORS

About three weeks ago Sun Newspaper of June 15, carried a piece of Nigeria Music Award Event held at Owerri, Imo State Capital. What took the bulk of the reported news of the event was what sister UK as fondly called chose to put on, so revealing that from her chest to the upper region of her belly was bare with her breasts dangling without any bra to hold them together. The Press characteristically took shots of her back and front and published the same. The sight was so offensive that the same Press went around interviewing some personalities present at the event especially Nollywood officials among who are Ejike Asiegbu and Chief Ifeanyi Dike, the Chairman Board of Trustees, Actors Guild of Nigeria . They expressed surprise, embarrassment and disappointment, even queried her coming to the event since it was not for the actors and actresses. The chairman in his words said, Nollywood is not a platform for nasty acts. They maintained that the executives of AGN are yet to meet to take a decision on the matter.
            But when confronted by the Press, Uk in her words said, I am a full blown adult. I know what is right and what is wrong.
Yes, Uk must have spent some minutes as an adult woman dressing for an occasion. Within the minutes her spirit certified her decision right judging from her agenda that night, at least she must slaughter a lot of men on the table of lust by pulling pull all eyes to herself alone. Definitely she did but was disgusting type.

Only God knows which part of hell that young man following her like a he-goat was sentenced to.
          Then last two weeks, Uk came up with some statements which reeled between plead and defense at the same time. Plead because I suppose the executives of AGN must have called her to order and threatened a disciplinary action and the journalist taking her up on account of Christianity which she professes and call to Christ’s work. These I believe led to her so called plead for forgiveness.
I am sure she is not less than forty years of age. If UK could allow others who might not be older than her as such to show her frivolity before she accepts it, it is unfortunate, and implies that she is a child at heart with mature body or veiled with euphoria of a celebrity. And marriage you must agree with me is not for children who cannot discern right from left. Therefore, one will not go far to draw conclusion why her marriage is having problems.
        I did not see her remorseful of her action against the Christ she profess to serve and work for any way rather a mere plea for forgiveness possibly from AGN executives who must have come hard on her, because she countered her plead by claiming that as an artist there is nothing wrong with her dressing which the actors family had cried foul. It there means Ejike Asiegbu is not an actor or she is a special actress with license for nudeness.
Therefore, her supposed plea was a reaction to appease public sentiments and not out of a convicted heart giving an impression that someday, some where she might wear such provocative material or do similar things. But, if one argues that her request for forgiveness is genuine then she has proved her earlier claim to be adult false and all the people that defended her action wrong, who said, UK is old enough to know what is good or bad for her. For why should an adult intentionally do that she must be sorry for at last. Therefore, we must not envy but pity all that are so veiled.
           Worst of all, UK has follower ship, not just for her acting but evangelical works also according to her. She converted them to follow Christ. One will be interested to know from what lifestyles her proselytes were converted and what her teachings to them are since her very self cannot discern evil of that magnitude as a preacher. May be she is among those that fulfill the sayings of Christ that some compass land and sea to make proselytes only to make them twice candidates of hell.
         Aunt Uk is not alone in the club that take nudity a virtue, Theodora Dike, Harlima Abubakar, Cossy orjiakor, Cynthia just to mention a few have at one time attributed the choice of their wears to the acting, modeling and marketing professions. While a model wants to sensitize the public the latest fashion design for a fee she does not bother whether it is repugnant to societal and religions norms which they profess to belong and who is destroyed by the same. Professional marketers possibly put their bodies as bait for prospective buyers to the products being promoted. May be there is a silent unwritten slogan that says before you buy my product buy me. And these ladies are following hard the rules. At least one should think of herself first before a product. Why should she carry about a product and remain in her father’s house.
 It could be the formula is effective for bank ladies who stick strongly to half cut dresses and others find it easy way out. But as many as call evil good no matter their profession are culprits for moral and religious disaster.
Let no one be deceived there is no profession that permits nudity except prostitution. Not that there is a legal permit but it has become synonymous with the flesh trade. They hawk their flesh to draw patronage. So except these sisters have been possessed by the spirit of prostitution and are doing it with style. Both those inventors, promoters, patrons and admirers of evil have no business with the God of heaven.(Rom1;28-32)
But we know that these professions are in existence before these folks joined and a lot of people have passed through the professions without being obsessed by them. Besides, many in marketing and mass communication have not been infected by this lifestyle.
              Another excuse this category of women makes is that they found pleasure in nudity even against public outcry. One will readily read statements like that’s what fits me, it appeals to me, I feel cool in it, I move freely in it, I look smart etc. They forget that no man is an island. No one is independent from his society. We are all interdependent on one another. We are to certain degree products of our society. When you are not subject to sound moral and religious advice the society will be watching to see the end. My sisters depend on the society for their marriage, Africa for that matter and would not sub pedal in their lust for white man waywardness.
           What they have publicly refused to acknowledge is that they hunt their preys by that means following a persuasion to ‘get what you want by what you have’. And it is self evident how worried they are for lack of proposals though some tend to pretend about it.
 How then can we come to their sympathy though they cry long for lack of suitors? Who will marry someone that will not take advice? A person who could dare religious and societal norms to self gratification will definitely find it difficult to submit to opinions contrary to her interest. And it is dangerous to marriage. And we know that some are already with records of failed marriages. Let these sisters be advice to humble themselves.
God said, humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. For God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble.
Their goodly endowments suppose not to pitch them against God. Beauty of a marriageable woman is more of character and not body. Body exposure can only attract Casanova who comes and goes.
Humbling oneself in God’s sight is to be ruled by the word of God and not your feelings or opinions of colleagues that are bereft of God’s ways.
There are many out there who are not as elegant, financially buoyant and literate as these other sisters and yet they are peacefully in their matrimonial homes. Go buy me good lifestyle soon you find yourself sell out like hot buns, jari.
