Pastor Reno Omokri, has spoken against overly sexy dressing by women during an interview with BBC.

Omokri wrote an article. ‘We Need Lovely, Not Sexy‘ recently, where he opined that loveliness is a better ideal for women to aspire to than sexiness. And you do not have to bleach or contour or hide your Afro under Brazilian hair to be lovely.

He argued that being a Black woman used to mean that you were a lovely woman. But something has changed. Today, I cannot flip through the pages of newspapers and magazines or browse social media without seeing bleached Black women in very revealing outfits being celebrated not for any positive thing that they have achieved but rather because they flaunt their cleavage, their buttocks, thighs and other parts of their bodies. Where we as a society used to promote the ideal woman as being lovely, today, our women want to be seen as being sexy.

And being sexy appears to be code for looking light skinned, flaunting barely clothed bodies with heads covered in imported ‘Brazilian’ hair. Why must a woman be sexy? I would have thought that it would have been better to be lovely than it is to be sexy.
