In 1957, Miss Nigeria was dressed excellently in a modest attire that also depicted her (Yoruba) culture. In 2014, a similar picture of a Miss Nigeria will most likely show some level of nudity. Are we moving forward or backward?

This was before Nigeria's independence - before the west colonized Africa's most populous nation. You will agree with me that this forms the genesis of what our pageants have become - Bikini-wearing and scantily dressed queens have become a norm - Is this going to change anytime soon? I don't think so.
