INDECENT DRESSING AMONG THE YOUTHS
It is very common these days to see people of both sexes, especially young ones on the street, mostly students of higher institutions of learning, dressing indecently and abnormally. These dresses expose sensitive body parts like the belly, buttocks and breasts. It is not uncommon to see young girls, particularly students, dress in tight trousers, transparent materials, miniskirts that expose their thighs, blouses that expose their breasts and other irregular dressing that the scriptures have forbidden.
 When you see some of them, especially the ladies, you will wonder if she is coming from a home or from the bush. Some of them even find it difficult to walk or just to pick something from the ground, when it drops. Some argue that indecent dressing is caused by common phrases which are the problems of this generation like; “Only God can judge me, you cannot”, “Leave them alone”, “everyone is entitled to his or her opinion”, “mind your business”.
 However, those that are making these comments forget the popular saying, “the way you dress is the way you will be addressed”. These phrases have become so common in our society that one can’t condemn wrong doings again because the rewards are usually insults, malice, hatred and condemnation. Many believe that indecent dressing is the major cause of the various assault and sexual harassments recorded in the society, overtime. Ladies nowadays derive pleasure in dressing half naked to functions for instance, wearing miniskirts, bum shorts, etc all in the name of fashion. Young men on the other hand, appear in female outfits exemplified by ear-rings, fix hairs, hot bosom, low west and the likes.
 These types of dressing are influence by a combination of factors. A typical source of influence is foreign culture. Travelling, pictures, films and stories have exposed young men and women to dress out of tune with indigenous culture. The house of God is not also spared from this offensive and rude way of dressing, today, the type of indecent attire that some ladies put on while going to church will even make the opposite sex to lose focus. There is a hardly a difference between ‘club girls’ and the ‘sisters’. No doubt, some of these ladies purposely wear revealing designs to expose either their cleavage or their thighs. If you caution them, they would boldly say, “It is not the body that matters but the mind.”Major factors that contribute to this societal problem include: the society, peer pressure and parents. 
My advice to the youths today is that for anything you do, remember there is God in heaven watching you. One day we all will give account of our lives. The best judge is you.

                   By Yinka Akintunde            Noah’s Template of Enterprise – Serial 3 A Reward to Get Development and evolvement in any system are subject to risk when rewards are no more the functions of profitable input. Your rewards here on earth are therefore mostly a function of your enterprise engagement. Whether you are being rewarded in wages, salary or even with political office; you must have done something to merit reward. Even though what you are and who you are important and can determine what you do; nevertheless, you are mostly rewarded here on earth based on what you do. Having a lofty degree in a field does not translate to being rewarded in cash or kind in that field. No organisation pays you salary and bonuses based on your resume; you are rewarded in accordance to your input into that organisation. We have celebrated who and what we are enough; it is time to start ...
