Ojude Oba Festival: My Immoral Account By Dotun Adebusoye

 

With jubilation from like minds i rose to my joyful pinnacle of seeing an event full of rich cultural display and high demonstration of yoruba values, heritage and existing happiness embedded in the showcase of these unrefined cultural practises. However, the joy in my dream was not shattered, I enjoyed every bit of display without seeing a mix of western culture.

Furthermore, in my journey of admiring a colourful display of cultural values those present at the occasion excluding important dignitaries arrested my mind to the point of coma. Infact, I was blessed within, looked fulfilled the style of dressing of over 70% of male gender present at the event was morally commendable.

With joy inherited from the male gender morality display, over 80% of female gender present at the event dressed immorally exposing the most important part of their body to the public majorly to gain cheap attention from the opposite sex. I became frustrated because my common sense alerted me of the damages that single act must have caused a male soul who un-resisted will get enticed with such display of immorality.

Having suffered shame and shock from the female gender, it quickly occurred to me parental role that bothers on proper upbringing that seems lacking from the display of Sodom and Gomorah that greeted the occasion from the feminine side.

Today, it is sad to know that the sudden romance of western culture most especially the mode of dressing has ruined the entirety of the present generation. Undoubted is the fact that the next generation like in debate “Standing on existing protocol” will swiftly embrace, dwell and even perform worst wonders while the damages becomes unending.

Thinking deep in search of solutions and way forward I discovered that channels in which this solution can pierce from are corrupt and can never opt for the change needed. A quick look at our religion arena reminded me of the “church as of old” where moral teaching mars it existence. The world by then advances in morality, social and Godly character.

However, the impression gotten from the advancement in technology and social practices are believed to be instrumental to such indecent dressing.

In the long run, i weep for the crop of Nigerian ladies who sees indecent dressing as financial tool to enrich self and get the needed popularity. Meanwhile sadden is the fact that none of our guys will ever marry a lady with such irresponsible outfit while they derive undue pleasure from someone else future property.

However, the world is changing, old customs are now rubbished, new crop of customs now imported. I pray it would not destroy us.

The white man is very wise. He came quickly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allow him to stay. Now he has won our brothers and our clan can no longer act as one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.

We cannot continue in the exhibition of this disgraceful act of immoral dressing where our ladies has no respect of dignity from the opposite sex, a problem situated within.
