Reply jagudax October 5, 2012 at 4:53 pm I understand your point but is sexual harassment now the appropriate response? There are still tribes to date that move around with little body cover… Are you telling me that the natural thing to do is to start raping and harassing their females? Reply Adamu Ahmed October 7, 2012 at 6:50 pm Jagudax the truth is that if you keep your food open to the public, interested dogs and cats will definitely put their mouth inside. Is it not better you cover it and keep it inside your cupboard ? A lady who scored “F” would like to get minimum of “E” thereby exposing herself as a short cut to pass. As we condemn sexual harassment so shall we condemn indecent dressing and encourage hard work. Reply charlimann Uzon October 8, 2012 at 3:24 pm Female students have to dress in buba and sokoto, cover their head to sholder before you will call them decently dressed, this is 2012, get yourself some life, we need responsible teachers or lecturers in our universities as we need responsible leadership in Nigeria Reply Simpleman October 4, 2012 at 8:43 am They are in vouge Reply Meshach October 4, 2012 at 10:44 am Thank God u now realise the implications in dressing indecently,of course the way dress is how u’ll be addressed. keep men in suspence in wat u have under the cloths. Reply kk October 4, 2012 at 1:11 pm is everywia …go n odas in odas institutions Reply Mike Jimm October 4, 2012 at 3:27 pm Even look at the dressing of some of those protesting, half-naked dresses and they are complaining of being harassed. Why won’t they when they put on dresses that are suggestive in nature! In the name of being socialise, they expose their nakedness for people to see. They expose chest, laps and other sensitive parts which ordinarily should be covered. This is one of the great evil the Western world has caused us. Reply Humanitarian October 6, 2012 at 4:44 am Whether they decently/indecently dress isn’t the issue to be address but urgent concern should be geared toward utter eradication of this rampant&incessant sexual harassment Nigerian not only on campus but also withing the community.GOD BLESS NIGERIA Reply Abdullahi Remi October 6, 2012 at 6:26 am Gals of compus in Nigeria institutions try keep decently dress pls Reply ayo October 6, 2012 at 7:13 am i know of decent girls being sexually harassed.while indecent dressing should be discouraged it is not an excuse for harassing female sexually.not only in school it is a common practice in place of work where married women with kids are being harassed. Reply Lanre Akinwumi October 6, 2012 at 9:08 am Female students should learn to dress decently. There is no way we will look at it that we wont see that indecent dressind is a factor! Let all Nigerian Universities’ authorities come out with dress code for our female students on campus, violation of which should attract very stiff penalties. Nevertheless , Cross River State Goverment must investigate this and bring whosoever involved to face proper sanction(s). God bless all Nigerian students. Reply Ogene uno October 6, 2012 at 2:27 pm Our universities is now a dead trap. Female students dress so indecently and seductively.When checked,they will complain of being harassed sexually. They all want to get their husbands before they leave. Who is fooling who? This is not an excused for men to harass them sexually anyway. Reply Basilo October 7, 2012 at 9:51 am govt should encourage decent female student by stop sex before pass, a female student was asked to fix attachment on her hair before obtained extra mark by those evil lecture Reply Basilo October 7, 2012 at 9:56 am govt should encourage decent female student by stop sex before pass examination, a female student was asked to fix attachment on her hair before obtained extra mark by those evil lecture Reply Afamefuna October 7, 2012 at 8:22 pm Brother, thank you very much. Though we know that some lecturers are he-goats yet many girls on campuses are instruments of destruction. They are the ‘harassers’. They are ready to go to any length to get what they want if not resort to blackmail and mischief. Reply eskor October 8, 2012 at 8:21 am right from d begining satan has been using d females to draw d males into pit. look at what is hapening now, d satanic fashion industry have realy take time to produce sexy dresses for d ladies, and they sample them through their music and movie artists on TV whom our young ladies ignorantly take them to be their models whereby desire their style and want to dress and do everything they do. The rationale behind these is to plot the fall of man. Men striev to resist d plan of d devil. Reply JP October 8, 2012 at 12:15 pm It served some of dem right, when they used 2 go half naked on the street in the name of western fashion. Unless Fed. govt address the mode of women dressing in Nigeria b/4 thyings can go well. Reply Long Mangs October 8, 2012 at 12:26 pm When a woman married/unmarried attract men in a conducive manner publicly, what is she expecting ? Unless parents check and advice their daughters on their mode of dressing indoor/outdoor, they will continue to experience harassment from men always, whether in or outside school. Women generally should adhere to Godly moral mode of dressing to avoid dis. Reply Johnson P. Datal October 8, 2012 at 12:36 pm I do strongly believe that a decently dressed woman will never be harassed by a any decent man. That is why I praised Deeper Life church members (women) and other church member on dressing. Most Muslim women do dress well that some so-called Christian women who claimed to be Christ example. Some parents even advice their daughters to dress indecently and go out. If their’s God fearing, a woman can’t dress indecently. Reply Domshak October 8, 2012 at 12:48 pm Pls the truth should be told. Most of women going half naked to seduce men on the street called themselves Christians & they claimed to shining light for Christ. Why deceiving ourselves ? Our clergies should continue to preach the true gospel and stop false teaching like some of them even preaching that smoking & drinking alcoholic is not Reply Tunde Awe October 8, 2012 at 3:13 pm Who is harassing who? I think some Lecturers who are decent and upright that are being harassed by most of their female students should stage their own protest too. It is common knowledge that most of these ladies are not ready to study hard again and they want to graduate with 2-1 at least, so they rsort to all gimmicks to take the Lecturers to bed. As it takes two to tango, some Lecturers oblige, while some go for the fun. Ironically, the decent ones that refuse to go the whole log with them are backmailed as being wicked. Most times,the ladies set their male friends who are mostl cultists after such lecturers for his “stuborness” You can now see that head or tail, the lecturers are the loosers. With due respect, some serious minded brilliant ladies are all over the campuses and they will never be part of such disgraceful manners. This protest is just a window dress, any affected lady/ies should be bold enough to lodge complaints against erring Lecturers with genuine proofs, then if nothing is done, they should cry out loud for masses to hear them out. Reply Cee October 9, 2012 at 7:07 am IF YOU STUDENTS ARE REAL IN YOUR PROTEST, YOU WOULD HAVE MENTIONED AT LEAST TWO NAMES IN YOUR PLACARDS. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS A REAL PROTEST. Reply Let us desist from corruption October 9, 2012 at 8:10 am Educatnl system has fallen, & we urgently need 2 declare a state of emmergency, addressn the menace holistically. An HND holder that has being mobilised for NYSC can not write a simple applicatn letter, yet they want 2 pass, govt underfund the institutn, meagre salary 4 the lecturer, & absolutely no welfare package, like opportunist ordinary political office holder who get bumper package of salary, allowances, & fridge benefit, & they institute lots of grammer & policies wanting them 2 discharge their responsibilities in an emty stomach @ d faces of opresn & cheatn. Hwever lecturers are doin their best. The same is replicatn itself in the ministry where directors & wker has 2 resultd 2 the selling, hiring & steelling of govt property 2 urgment their deficiency. Govt in it rightful sense shd address this by bridging the gap btw the lecturer, political ofice holder,& wker at large by doing this who so ever violated human right shall be sensibly & collectively brought 2 punishmt. & for the student what is religiously bad can never be morally or societally right, shun antisocial behaviors, machineries etc. Reply Paprich October 9, 2012 at 8:34 am Dress or no dress, teachers and lectures should be professional. Most of these girls they lay in bed before passing are younger than their first child. Teachers reward they you to say is in heaven, nowadays, they want it on earth – both cash and kind. I think the whole thing has to do with the present high level of poverty, corruption and indecency ravaging the country. The state government need to investigate this and put a stop. As for our young girls, yes, a la mode, but you lot need to move closer to God. Dress properly in public. When going to disco, you can me in your nightgowns.
