Fadekemi at ConnectAfrica comments [1] on a recent bill proposal to prohibit and punish nudity in Nigeria, among other offences: “Nigeria is Africa’s most populous nation […] faced with so many issues ranging from the Niger-Delta crisis to the high rate of infant mortality. According to Senator Eme Ufot Ekaette who is the chairperson of the Senate Committee on Women and Children, indecent dressing has been listed amongst one of the many ills/issues plaguing the Nigerian society.”
