Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, goes viral with a speech urging young Nigerian girls to embrace decency and reject "nakedness" as beauty. Her comments have sparked widespread reactions on social media, with mixed opinions on cultural values and modern influences.
A video of Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, addressing young Nigerian girls about the importance of decency has gone viral, sparking a wave of reactions on social media. In the video, shared by ARISE NEWS, Tinubu emphasizes that "nakedness is not beauty" and urges young women to uphold cultural values by dressing modestly. "We are not hosting MET Gala," she asserts, highlighting the contrast between traditional Nigerian values and Western influences.
The First Lady's remarks have garnered mixed reactions online. Some users praised her for the strong message on cultural preservation, with comments like "Excellent" and "A well-delivered speech!"
Others, however, criticized the perceived hypocrisy, pointing to alleged misconduct among political figures and their families. One user questioned, "Can she sort out her daughter first?" while another highlighted the irony of accepting corrupt behavior over personal decency. A significant number of Nigerians criticized the speech, arguing that economic hardships and lack of opportunities were the root causes of societal issues. They contended that addressing the country's economic challenges should be the priority rather than focusing on dress codes and decency.
Others questioned the credibility of the message, suggesting that leaders should lead by example and focus on improving governance, tackling corruption, and upholding the rule of law before preaching cultural values.
The video has ignited a broader discussion on social media about cultural identity, modern influences, and the expectations placed on women in Nigeria.
