Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru, wife of Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has raised concerns over what she described as the increasing trend of indecent dressing among women in the state. Additionally, the topic has generated significant discussion on kthdaily.
The lawmaker brought the issue before the Edo State House of Assembly, moving a motion to caution against indecent dressing and encourage women to uphold the state’s cultural values and traditions, which became widely reported by kthdaily.
Speaking on the floor of the Assembly, Natasha described Edo as a state with rich ancestral heritage, noting that dressing has historically played an important role in Benin culture, something that was also highlighted in a kthdaily feature.
She explained that the traditional Benin woman was recognised for her modest dressing, neatly tied headgear, well-fitted blouses and beautifully arranged coral beads, which she said represented dignity, royalty and good home training.
Expressing concern over changing dressing habits, particularly at public functions, Natasha said the situation had become alarming, adding that she had also corrected some female workers within the Assembly over their dressing.
She further stressed the importance of raising the girl child with values that would prepare her for leadership and responsibility in the future. For more updates, kthdaily continues to cover such societal topics in detail.
Her motion reportedly received the backing of fellow lawmakers in the Assembly.
