I haven't heard of any male being arrested for indecent dressing and considering that a lot of guys walk around shirtless I'm surprised. Women are being arrested for wearing outfits like jeans and a tshirt or even if your knees are barely showing. Basically if the woman is in a situation where she works late, she's going to get arrested, be called a prostitute, pay bail and be molested in her cell while she waits to get out. its bullshit!Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-22836661992388871182009-04-24T21:15:00.000+01:002009-04-24T21:15:00.000+01:00what do u people know? some one is trying 2 make a...what do u people know? some one is trying 2 make a positive difference in the economy and u all are blabbing....OK she should live and do noting bout it....will u people say anything. idiotic,ungrateful.people go and sit down and do something useful with ur live instead of hating on someone..God bless her.... at least she is doing something 4 the country.....WHAT ARE U ALL DOING??????IDIOTSjbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02423546881958843693[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-49063649602549206312008-07-26T04:02:00.000+01:002008-07-26T04:02:00.000+01:00I wonder which drugs Senator Ekaette uses.

What has the Almighty got to do with it? She called on God nearly 6 times in the speech. Is it God that elected her to office? Pray, can she tell God that she did to rig her elections? Is it God that she serves on the Senate Committee for Women and Children?<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, her logic is puerile. She insinutates that it is the victims of rape that bring it on themselves. Does she honestly believe that? She has pervesely conflated a moral issue (decency) with a social one; sexual abuse of women. I cannot imagine that she even has the nerve to read out such tripe in public.<BR/><BR/>Please, Senator, Nigeria is NOT Saudi Arabia. Neither is it Federal Government Girls College, Ikot Ekpene. Keep your benighted Puritan sense of decency to yourself. We do not all share your crudely defined morality and even if we did, the Senate is not the place for such a discussion.<BR/><BR/>Are 'spagetti' straps the most pressing issue facing Nigerian women and children? How about infant mortality, education and mental and physical abuse in a patriarchal society? Is Senator Ekaette blind? Does she not see these problems around her? Abi, suffer no dey Akwa Ibom?<BR/><BR/>Last year, of all the very grave problems facing Nigeria - NEPA,Police, lack of rule of law, abject poverty, violence - the Senate decided to focus on prosecuting homosexuals. Now, it is Senator Ekatte? We cannot accept the twaddle that Senator Ekaette proposes for a law. Thank goodness, that Nigerians have rejected her ill-conceived proposal.Onajomo[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-12939101034045937992008-06-12T19:28:00.001+01:002008-06-12T19:28:00.001+01:00Do they not have better thing to do.

How on earth do you say you want to tackle public nudity and sexual harrassment in the same bill?! I am sure none of us here would have a problem if the Senate passed a very narrow bill around public nudity (strictly defined as just that - nudity) but she's conflated so many issues together, this bill must not pass. It's not addressing the causes of oppression; it's insinuating that women are to blame for men raping them (hence they should wear padlocked jeans)- an error which must stop in Nigerian society.
