INTRODUCTION

Indecent dressing has become a major problem in the church and the society today. Indecent dressing or appearance has come to characterisze the dress pattern of many individual in the society and even in churches.

The way the youth dresses nowadays particularly the female ones dress seductively leaves much to be desired. What the girls call skirts that they wear is just “one inch” longer than their pants.

When they put on such dresses, they struggle to sit down, find it difficult in climbing machines, cross gutter as well as pick anything from the ground.

Apart from the skimpy and light fitting nature of certain parts of the bodies that under normal dressing patterns ought to be hidden away from the galre of people. In the case of the boys, their pattern of dress is different.

It makes them to look so dirty and very unattractive with unkept hairs and dirty jeans having pockets of holes deliberately created around the knees and the lower part of the trousers allowed to flow on the ground because they go through their heels into their legs as sock.

The waist of their trousers are lowered and fastened tightly at the middle of the bottom lobes to reocal their boxers (pants) and when they are walking they drag their legs and of their hands particularly the left one, cupping their invisible scrotum as if they will fall to the ground if not supposed.
