Rev Ogechi Opurum said:
“The type of skimpy clothes ladies wear nowadays is appalling. Clothes that children of 10 and 11 years wear have now become the fashion of adults of 18 years and above. Those clothes are so tight on them that every part of their body shows, thereby provoking men to force themselves on them.Is he justifying rape? There are other ways he could have made his point. Rape is a sadistic act and there's absolutely no excuse for it.

i totally agree wt u linda. Evry1 shud strive t get some measure of self control especially when it comes t sex.
Blame the man who can't control himself and not the girl wearing what she wants.
So d 2yr olds dat r raped also wear tight dresses ba? Nonsense, he beta shut his dirty mouth. Bishop ko.
Yemily
wot r u saying oh Linda??? y u turning d man's words upside down. u ve already answered ur own question, he may ve chosen d rung use of words n u 2 ve decided to interpret it d rung way, but u def know wot he meant na!
Stefany
Bla bla bla, he doesn't no wot hz talkn bout. Even if girl wear iro n buba, a rapist will still rape. His damn clueless jare.
Lindaaaaa noooooo, dr some evil pipo do not planning for it but was pushed to it, d Bible says dat d flesh is weak and daz y st pauls cries out dat he sees himself doing tins he don't ordinarily want to do meaning dat dr r spirit against evil dat pipo do, so wearing seductive cloth and b flauntn bulldozer bom before a wanna repent and wanna do one more tyn believer is enof to trash ur hole wt hz pole in a dark corner, desent dressing pays
Hmmmmm , there's no justification at all o.
Pls ma,u dnt judge or try to find a mistake frm a man of God.Instead of saying things lik dis publicly u rather go to d man or woman of God with all humility n all him where he went wrong.Remember wat happened to pple in d bible dat spoke harshly on men n prophets of God.Pls dnt create curse for urself

Linda dats definitly not what he means cmon
wats ds suppose to mean ? is he wrong ? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
So in countries where women cover head to toe and get raped still, what's the cause? Devil? That priest should be brought in for questioning. A lawless man is a lawless man. Tight clothes or otherwise!
Linda your getting offended for nothing....plus ur assumptions don't make any sense.
The man was simply trying to pass across the point that you shouldn't wear such revealing stuff..whether it is right or wrong some women get raped for that and its in your own interest to heed nobody is justifying anything.
'Anyone who justifies rape is a potential rapist' I couldn't have said it better myself. We live in a society that blames women for an act perpetrated by men. Its disgusting. Fully clothed women have been raped too. That's why men keep raping and getting away with it, they never get blamed for the act.
Haba!!! am sure he didn't mean it in dat context ooo......he wuz just pointing out what he feels is one of d causes of rape. Aunty Linda e so ara re
Linda plz. plz. plz. my dear sister,
be very carefull about "CHALLENGING" the word of GOD!!!
in the bible days, how many women were raped?
"Study to know" ignorance is not an excuse, sin against the "HOLY SPIRIT" is the wrost sin......
From everlasting to everlastig.... Word of GOD will never "CHANGE"
4rm what u wrote, Lin, he never said dat d man forcing him self on a woman is right but his emphasis was on d ladies dat wear skimpy things
I wudnt say he was justifying rape. I agree a man shud learn to control himself.but ladies shud also avoid unwanted incidences Eg,look @ dat Rihanna's c thru dress,a drunken guy can jst make 4 d naked breasts....n whose fault wud dat be?hers of course.
I'd say dress to attract not distract . It totally doesnt justify rape cos obviously nobody can justify rape buh if females of these days can atleast dress decent it can help atleast. Any female who dresses to distract n attracts rape upon herself then she has herself to blame ,My opinion francisruff.blogspot.com
he's not justifying rape...he's only giving a very important reason why people are tempted to rape..God help us all
I don't think anyone will justify rape... If I may ask too... Are you justifying nudity?
How u want make he talk am again? He would have sweet talked it? Well Linda u know those u can push with ur words. After all na good market strategy for u lol
The man is a rapist also
Linda don't paint the preacher bad in pursuit of comments......and a hand full of sexual assaults are provoked......do your research
Linda he's talking about decent dressing and any woman who wants to remain decent, should dress properly.
Oh, I'm pretty sure he's one of those men who force themselves on women. Reverend my black ass
Show biz or fashion of the "END TIME" cannot change the word of GOD.
"I am what I am"........
His word is A and AMEN.......
Linda plz. plz. plz. my dear sister,

Linda u are expected to state all what the pastor preach not part of it. I think ladies should dress decently. The purpose of wearing clothes is to cover our nakedness.
linda, o gini kwa nu? there is nothing wrong with what the priest said .let's call a spade a spade not a broom.love u all .mummy ada
He is nt justifing rape. He is just saying that the women are wrong on their own part. Linda u don't v to comment on every post u put up cos sometimes u misunderstand them too. U can like nt to post my comment
I sincerely dont think he is justifying rape at at. Rape is evil and any rapist is an animal and should be dealt with. However it takes two to tango. Some ladies dress in a very provocative way that should also be corrected. A lady who walks on d street exposing her body invites trouble, because there r lots of sick and phyco men out there who will mean it for something else. I believe that is what d Rev Father was trying to say.
Some rape cases were not caused by provocative dressing. A rapier will rape regardless. But a little caution in d way some ladies dress will help too. They call it fashion, but its madness. I HOPE THE GOVERNMENT CAN PASS A STIFFER PENALTY AGAINST RAPISTS. Together we should do what we hv to do, to stop this evil.
Linda the pastor is not justifying rape, but telling ladies to be decent in their dressing. Ladies feel they are hot and beautiful when they dress half naked, which is not so. Beauty of a lady comes from within.
I see nothing wrong with what he said...it's just the truth and as a man of God nothing is wrong with speaking the truth...He is just advising the female sex to mind what they wear to avoid temptating the opposite sex'
He could't av said it any beta. Lindiway there's no room for misconception here,he hit d nail on d head.In as much as it doesn't justify d act,it can prompt its occurrence.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
Linda mind wot u say and put on dis blog, how on earth can you say he is justifying rape ? Please he was only passing a message the way he felt.
Linda seh na yah PANT u display so? Anyways sha, d Rev might av used d wrong set of words bt I don't think it meant wat u av said. I think he meant to say d women provoke molestation n nt raping as u think it implied.
Wat do u hv against men of God. He is merely stating one of the reasons he thinks some people get raped. He might be wrong sha cos rapists and the likes of them are less than animals tight dress or not
Do u even know wot d word jusify means?? He didn't justify it in any way, he jx stated one thing dat causes rape wic true?? Guys r tempted by wot dey see and nowadays u dnt v to buy porn to see naked gals they r everywhere even on ur blog. And both d lady dat incited d rape by exposin d naked body, n d blogger, media stations etc dat carried it and d man dat couldn't resist d urge are ol to blame.
D guilty ones ofcos will fault d pastors word. He spoke d truth. Deal with it
linda post my previous comment pllllleeeeeeeeaaaaaasssssseeeeeee.thank you.
Hmmmm no comment.
Hmmm no comment
linda post my previous comment pllllleeeeeeeeaaaaaasssssseeeeeee.thank you.
He is not justifying rape oooo. As a man of God he is doing his job by teaching a lesson in dressing decent. Jst like a mother will do her child. Linda u too do ur Job and and give us news don't use ur blog as an avenue to attack ppl
Our men in naija have very babaric attitudes towards sex. We women have to stand up and fight against this babarism by changing our own attitudes. We can not support this thinking anymore no matter how 'holy' you think you are. It is this same reason that child molesters use. They even rape old women as well. We have to stand against this now for the sake of our daughters
Hmmmn i kinda agree with you Linda.
Truly sick pastor. What about those that rape babies and children? Where the babies were skimpy clothes. Yes, some women take the piss by wearing crap but that is no justification for rape. A rapist is a rapist!!!Even if a girl is wearing tshirt and wrapper and idiot can still decide to rape her...We have idiots in this country.Just open their mouth and be spewing crap!
I understand d point of d priest.d way u dress is d way u wud b adresd.d way dey wear dese dreses call men to dem n wen dey r raped dey cry wen dey actually brot it on demselves.dnt cause a man to sin ma felow ladies. Rape is terible bt everyman doesn't av dsme level of control.so avoid d ones u can,n dose u dnt cause,let d God n d law judge
Its so so sad that the Nigerian culture tends to justify rape. Imagine someone saying its okay for a lady to get raped just cos she dresses in wat make her comfortable.
Linda, its better said than done, I strongly advice you not to dress in such provocative way to avoid matters that touch, once its done, can't be reversed. don't tempt these men that can't control themselves, even you and the law can't reverse a rape act after it has been done. DRESS DECENTLY.
We all live with the assumption that everyone around us are normal. This is a grievous mistake we shouldn't make. Dressing in an indesent manner can lead to catastrophic consequences. A pervert or an emotionally unstable person might take advantage of the situation and this may lead to sexual harassment and rape. We all need to be careful. Men and women get raped.

no he's not justifying rape. he's just saying it the way it is. but then again, i bliv rapist most times care less about what the lady is wearing. what a rapist will do to a half naked girl in the dark is what he will do to a nun!!! just that some dresses make it easier for them.
Every human being has an element of madness which can be triggered by certain things, guys I highly visual and tend to deal with what dey see. Go to clubs where some if not most rapes do occure d girls r scantily clad and rubbing their bums agains men's penis. Even if dey don't get to b with d girl in particular d demon has been awoken.
U shld have told us how else he wld have put it, in ur own choice of words, how wld u send home d meSsage dat young girls shld dress decently by warning dem dat mosquito will bite dem if dey do, or r u even encouraging indecency. When u have kids let dem dress half naked and walk arnd drive arnd town let's see how dey turn out. Btw Since when did u start going to church
He's on point jare
I totally understand wat he said,he didn't mean rape. D way we read ehn,na wa 2 u linda. He meant trying 2 get a girl dat was never ur desire,just kos she is puttin on a provocative dress.thank u.
Haba didn't u do lit in skul. Linda u re nt dt daft
And dis is news worthy bcos u have a successfull blog *sighs* don't use this opportunity wrongly. Bcos u grew up in yankee u want to start acting like dem, picking on any little thing and calling it offenssive like we r so bored and have no better thing to do. If u don't have better news try and give us updates on old reports.

U sha like wahala.
Seriously Linda, how's that suppose to be news, I bet he doesn't mean it the way you are presenting it. So many men of God say these things about skimpy dresses; how did it become news 2day.
Don't get me wrong, not Justify rape though.
He isn't linda...but truly he has a point...men are moved by what they see..so women should pls try to wear the right stuffs sometimes
Linda the priest is very correct! His sermon is not about rape rather indecent dressing
They also rape wearing covering their body with hijab. Still women should dress modestly for their own dignity
He is damn fucking right n is neva a potential rapist dearie,women r taking advantage of amorous nature(in terms of sex)of men,cover ur body if u dnt want 2 be raped b4 visiting or going out with a man,abi u be learner@linda
Linda I don't get u ooo..Justifying rape how? All d Rev said is nothing but the hard truth..Sorry to say this is your worst post ever..Cos it's totally pointless..you r just trying to raise a storm from nothing
Do u knw how many cases of rape, rihanana's pic incited?? Pple lyk bonario would wank. D responsibl ones dat v self control wld move on..husband use dia wife's, boys dia gf. Some wld patronize prostitutes yle d other lot will, v to rape someone to feel alright. He made a point.
And dat doesn't make him a potential rapist in anyway. Reason d 32 year old woman you are.
HE IS OBVIOUSLY VERY IGNORANT LIKE MOST NIGERIANS WHO BELIEVE THAT ONE'S INDIVIDUAL FASHION EXPRESSION IS AN INVITATION TO GET RAPED.SELF CONTROL IS VERY IMPORTANT GUYS. EDUCATE YOUR MINDS, ADMIRE DON'T MEAN COME AND RAPE ME.BLOODY FOOLS
Nah he is not. Iam a lady and smx wot I see ladies wear in abj, I haff said dis exact words.
Linda shut up joor! U don't make sense here ,his not justifying rape. Bottom line ladies should learn how to dress properly,quit wearing clothes 2 sizes below their normal size,some have turned Tops to Dresses sef all in d name of fashion Mstcheeeew!
Understand with sense of reasoning!
Yes, women are blame for every thing!.. Even when de appear to be de victim!.. What have we done!.. Free us and allow us live freely!.. Man of God!.. Pls rep God!!
Hehehehehehe @who justifies rape is a potential rapist
There was a time when people walked around bare. I have pictures of igbo brides from the 1920s dressed in sweet nothings. No one raped women for bare buttocks and breasts but today, wearing clothes could get u molested. Well since we have chosen to have fabrics on the flesh, let's all dress well, male and female...............ng owerri
Linda stop fooling yourself.....dnt shy away from the main topic. Ladies nowadays wear shit and it causes crimes such as rape and makes men lust. You're talking about him justifying rape as if thats the main point. Its in the Bible that people should not do anything that'll make fellow humans sin.
True talk Lindy! How abt guys who rape kids? Do kids seduce dem too
Were you present at the sermon?
Differnt pple wit different perspertive...4 me I think dats 4 him...
Differnt pple wit different perspertive...4 me I think dats 4 him...
NO one is justifying rape please do not quote the Man of God out of context. All he is saying is that you should not insight rape by dressing in a way that plays into a man weakness. Simple!!!
Differnt pple wit different perspertive...4 me I think dats 4 him...
NO! NO!! NO!!! ...I hate to comment and I know U wil definitely ignore this one...
Nevertheless,I disagree with U on dis miss linda...d priest is on point on this one..dia z no justification of rape here dearie...d gelz who wears shabby clothes or go half nude are nothing less than a disgrace on the female folks
linda,men are trapped for what they see xo let women stop wearin dose rubbish dey called fashion....
Linda what are u saying? Why do people just like reading meanings to everything? He was just making a Statement u dint hv to turn it to rape
what he is sayin is absolutely true... girls shld dress the way they want ppl to address them. shikena!
Hmm why is a raven like a writing desk...You're right Linda he is justifying rape
This is part of the reason Nigeria/ africa as a whole will continue to stay stagnant!
When you've people of authority that fail to speak intelligently, so because a woman decides to wear a form fitting attire means that I as a guy should force my self on her because of lack of self control?!
Geez, I am so embrassed at the crap that some our so called leaders spew out of their mouths..
So in essence, the cleric is saying that a person with a nice car that gets jacked was the cause of the theft because they own a nice ride?! Attached is a quote that summarizes my thougts...
"Identify the dominant philosophy of a society & you can predict its future"- Ayn Rand
Rape does occur in Sharia countries where women are over modestly dressed up. I don't see skimpy clothes to compare with what ladies wore in the 60s and 70s. I believe tho that the way u are dressed determiness how u'll b addressed. So ladies let's try and be modest and look decent in what we wear. But what I wear shud not b an excuse for rape. IAI
Linda I don't think his statement justifies rape. Lewd dressing is provocative, let us be realistic. It does not mean the rapist is justified by any means. They are both crimes - dressing slutty and rape, non justifies or exonerates the other. And i am a woman.
Linda, you should go learn how to interpret English! He is not justifying rape but stating the obvious...I believe we all read the bible where it says, "and lead us not into temptation".....
You don't need to be a preacher to advise young girls to dress decently....
Hian!!!
Linda he is so right that is wot most gals put on this days all in d name of fashion
women walk almost naked here in America and they do not get raped. He is speaking in the context of the Nigerian society. As men we are visual beings therefore a rapist is attracted to the easiest prey which is a woman who is skimpy. These are not issues to be preached about anyway, they are left to common sense. Just preach modest because a rapist will rape even a nun. Look at rape cases in India- newyorker
Don't mind dez priests, dey'll go behind & be doin backyard runs...na dem sabi!!! Anywayz, visit www.thespianamber.wordpress.com to read how Denrele was chased by cult guys cos of a girl
He is on point buh silly pple lyk u Linda wl always find a way of justifying urself. Nonsense
There's nthng wrong in what he said ,or his choice of words.slow news day
U ve spoken well...check out ucheroliinn.blogspot.com
Force themselves on them Does not totally men raping them so don't Condemn him so So fast. And he never said he supports rape.
Linda mind your language, he is right, he must be a rapist. The ladies wearing this piece of baby wears are the ones inviting rapist
He has a point. Linda, I thought you usually read the Daily Mail? If you did, you'll have realised that in the past few days, some women have said the same thing. Are they also potential rapists? But because he's a man, he's a potential rapist? Can you see the double standards. No one is justifying rape. Far from it! He's just pointing out the fact that skimpy clothing does more harm than good concerning the issue of rape.
Wat abt my friend dat was raped in her house, wat do he have to say? SMH
Wat abt my friend dat was raped in her house, wat do he have to say? SMH
Linda abeg go and sleep joor.Owerri girl like u,always criticizing men of God.
It already in d bible,dis one of d signs of END TIME!!! Alot of atrocities and trashy talks..#smh
@doyexy
Mk una ff me on twitter jor
And therein lies the problem in Nigeria. If a religious leader can say something like this in 2013 how won't they continue to treat rape like it's corporal punishment for women?
Dats vry correct linda...u should b able 2 control urself as a man.
Linda this is the first time that i am disappointed by your story. The priest was never in anyway justifying rape, he only made it known that indecent exposure by ladies are one of the causes of rape. Which is a very simple exampke to present to people living in the east especially owerri where you have plenty of youths cos of the number of higher institutions in owerri town. Pls rephrase your story or better still remove it. Dont rubbish a man of God just to make stories. Ensure you publish this or you remove the story.
Linda stop making issues of ntin , the man is simply telling his congregations not to go abt naked. He nver said rage is ok buh admonishing his audience to desist from wearing procative dresses shakina
Linda shutup.... D Rev is correcting and u re calling him Rapist...Men re move by what we c.... When a lady is showing her V shape is totally an abuse to men as far as am concerning...Pls Ms Linda Ikeji is dere any way u can call what is BAD if not to Pronounce it BAD.. So u want BAD to b painted good or sweet before expressing it BAD... This conductor ought to b ur friend cause during a fight he said 'Sir re mad, pls sir u re very studip'... What is not Good is not good there is no other name for it.
I'm sure the congregation both men and women nodded mmmhh..so how many women have raped bare chested men? If you are a perv, then you are a perv.
All i can say on this one is that i like your guts.....
That is a disgusting statement and unChrist like. It can as well be your fault for been robbed because you bought a flashy car or something stupid like that. This is really irresponsible of a man in such a position and no wonder Nigeria is so lawless.
This is so pointless, rape has been around before the clothes women wear now. Even in the days of the Bible where the women were modest rape was recorded. A rapist is simply a coward and disgusting bastard and God will surely punish them all. I'am so disappointed in this man!
Thank you Linda, by their words you shall know them! If yoou can try and justify rape then that says a lot!
Dnt usually make comments on bloggs but reading through the above comments by the man of God,he seems to be saying the truth & stating the obvious,what i dnt understand is why YOU are connecting it with him justifing rape?except there is more to the comment you ave not posted,i dnt think its right to twist peoples statements like that!!!!pls clarify for better understanding.
well, truly dia is no justification for rape, but den d MOG is right!!! Until we start tellin ourselves d truth about indecent dressing instead of advocating freedom to dress however we please, d issue of rape would remain as rampant as d air we breath
Actually there is nowhere in the pastor's statement where he mentioned rape. Even some women share this point. "You are what you wear" isn't an adage coined out of lustful thoughts,it simply describes that any one who presents himself/herself in a particular way would be judged to be that way.
Being judgmental isn't good, and we are all icebergs. But responsible fashion has been thrown out of the window thanks to a media that glorifies are tainted form of beauty.
I don't like talking about rape, because the underground stats about those who have been sexually assaulted is quite alarming. It is extremely wicked to force a woman to have sex with you. But how many women have been forced into having sex by men who use their money, power, position, blackmail etc.. to buy the consent of a woman.
We must protect our women, they are givers and takers of life. Their bodies are capable of giving life, joy, pain and regret. Their heart carries all the virtues that make or mar the lives of everyone connected to them, even their seeds. They are the soil upon which our future is planted. Its fertility and climate will frame the very essence of our tomorrow.
Protection from damaging the female folk just like protection from a terminal disease must be wholesome. We must create a society that actively stands up for the female folk. But heaven helps those who help themselves. The same goes for the woman.
Linda, are u encouraging indecent dressing?
D 1st way 2 curb rape is 4 those gals 2 stop wearing stupid clothes and be decent.
really i do not see anything wrong with what he has said. he said the truth. girls wear clothes that provokes men the wrong way. tops have now become dresses, pants are no longer wearable under clothes, breasts are now on display rather than behind dresses..wetin?
truth is blunt and bitter!
Linda learn to read carefully and understand before implying statements made by people...all he is just trying to say is that women provoke men to rape them which is basically true.
No no no ! Lindastica abeg abeg abeg ! I wnt ve u talk to a priest like dat . Stop it right dr ! U r guilty of d offence jor. Infact I demand a grand appology from u to us catholics 4 calling a rev Fr. Potential rapist.
I quite agree sha
Hello lin in as much as we condem rape. Going about half naked help provok the hiden urge in rapist so I totaly support the rev
Cn a man put hot coal in his/her bosom and nt b burnt... Linda try understand wot d rev is sayin, he is nt in anyway justifing rape.
The truth is that most men lack self control and are easily aroused by what they see.I think the rev was only addressing indecent exposure.What some gals wear these days...... Na wa.
Linda nt dat he is justifying rape.d man is 500% right.
But his comment isnt wrong. Most times women attract the wrong attention by what we wear.
I am surprised at you Linda. He is only stating the obvious. Some men have no self control. Any women with common sense should know that and dress responsibly.
Linda, it's as though you don't read well. Does it look like he supports rape?
USELESS REASONING. a rapist is a rapist. you dont see EVERY guy raping any woman they see who's wearing skimpy clothes.. and there were still rapists when it was the norm for a woman to be covered completely. Some men are just dogs disguised as priests and pastors. religion will eventually be our downfall because it promotes the loss of rational thought, and expects us to put reasoning in the hands of illiterates and literates with emotional issues from years of praying to a god that nobody has seen
Linda u can say dat again
He's not justifying rape. He just gave a reason why girls are raped. His statement is not wrong cos what he said was just a proposition.
make we hia word lindodo....
what religion do u practice sef madam??u hardly talk about other faiths in nigeria..
By Linda ask yourself.. If women wear 14th century Corsets and turtle neck sweaters or even heavy cardigans, men wont be enticed. Men are physical beings and follow what they see.. there is some truth in his words.
1ST: HE DIDN'T JUSTIFY RAPE.
2ND: ITS NOT ANYONE WHO JUSTIFIES RAPE THAT IS A POTENTIAL RAPIST. IF THAT IS THE CASE, ANYONE WHO JUSTIFIES ABORTION IS AN ABORTIONIST.
3RD: YES, WOMEN DRESS PROVOCATIVELY NOWADAYS FOR REASONS BEST KNOWN TO THEM BUT I THINK MAJORITY OF THEM ARE DEMON POSSESSED.
4TH: YES YOU ARE RIGHT, DRESSING PROVOCATIVELY DOES NOT MEAN ONE SHOULD BE HARASSED, ABUSED OR RAPED.
5TH: SOME WHO CLAIM THAT SUCH BEHAVIOR BRINGS RAPISTS TO THEM IS FACTUALLY RIGHT. THERE ARE SO MANY PSYCHOS WALKING AROUND AND IT IS SAFER FOR A WOMAN TO DISCOURAGE THE RAPIST INSTEAD OF ENCOURAGING THEM THROUGH BAITING AND HOPING THAT HE MAY BE CAUGHT. THE TRUTH IS HE MAY NOT BE CAUGHT AND THE WOMAN MAY BE DEAD BY THE END OF THE DAY. IT IS LIKE SOMEONE PREACHING THE GOSPEL IN A BOKO HARAM INFESTED PLACE LIKE ZAMFARA AND WHEN HE IS ATTACKED AND BEHEADED, YOU WILL COME AND SAY THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR BEHEADING HIM. BETTER STAY SAFE THAN LATE. DRESS PROPERLY.
There's nothing wrong in what he said,its good to say it the way it is instead of beating around the bush,putting up holier than thou attitude.Besides Linda mind what you post,be sure of what u write because anglicans are not addressed as priests but rev,pastor and e.t.c
Abeggy linda d man of God is right oo!
What happened to all the commentators?? Cat cut ur tongues??
Linda plz. post my comment or DELETE this article.
So correct linda,even if you tie wrapper wen a rapist sees u,he wld still rape u wen given a chance
So if a man sees his mother or daughter in a towel he should be 'enticed' abi?
Please stop making excuses for these sick people.
A rapist will rape even if the woman is wearing sackcloth. Rape is a horrible act and should not be condoned
Hey u must be mad!go bck 2 the 14th century and remain dere.u potential rapist.
So you're saying in the olden days when women used to be fully covered there was no issue of rape?
Please stop excusing this act.
Its wrong and that's all there is to it. I don't care if the girl was naked. Do you even know what rape is?
The victim is forced and sometimes even dies and you're making excuses for these people?
Please take several seats
Ur obviously a useless person weren't men raping in the 17th century where every 1 was all covered. Men r just dogs. The men that rape just monsters its in their DNA. No is no just because women are weaker and cannot slap your brains out of your skulls doesn't mean they should be raped. Its not a bad thing to be sexy men shouldn't make females feel they should be scared always
Men are physical beings and women are what? Spiritual?
Bros or Babe, you no get point biko.
I pray you or a female relative of yours never becomes a victim.
@Anonymous 9pm, for ur info women were still raped in the 14th century!
its better to deal with the root of problem first rather to be deceivn ourselves. i dont think he is saying rape is gud. lets talk sense into our ladies first before going after the rapists
[just like that]
just like that
Linda since you ve decided not to publish my opinion, I rest my case. But the truth is that you,misinterpreted the priest and you can see all the abuses you have drawn to the man of God. Some of your readers can be gullible and you should not lead them astray
its all about woman dress .yes its purely truth thanks man of god!
nawa ooo!!! Linda u jst fall hand for dis ur post,, u jst yarn rubbish. And for dose supporting her use ur heads, dnt paint d man of God black he was only saying dat xposing ur body aint d way forward.
Shut the hell up!!stupid people you lot, starting with mr odenson bonario!! on here justifying rape saying its the way women dress....okay lets refer to the main cases of rape in the Bible....when David's son raped his half sister?? did it have anything to do with the way the girl was dressed??...was it not that the guy was consumed/obessed by his sister's beauty?? or is it the case of the man that raped jacob's daughter when she went to get water?? what was she wearing? please tell me...all these half baked pastors that don't study the Word before giving stupid advice they call preaching....Linda abeg keep bringing these issues up until these stupid animals that call themselves African men listen up!!
A lot of women who are raped are fully clothed.
While there is truth to what he said, the problem here is that many times, we get culture mixed in with talk, and it affects the output, so there is a huge disconnect with what was thought and what is actually said.
The best thing for the Rev to have done was to said this, and at the same time, spoken against rape.
Many women are raped by people close to them, close friends, and family members even.
There is no reason behind rape, and any man here saying so, please I pray that no woman close to you is ever raped. Whether by armed robbers, while "safely" at home, or by someone that you know.
Linda its a shame dat u misunderstood dis n u v led a lot of people to misunderstnd it wit u n curse d Man of God. God forgive u all. U r fond of putting up things abt pastors n making negative comments. U better stop it b4 d wrath of God ll come on u n stripe u of all u v worked for.
he is not justifying rape o, or do u also dress in the stupid provocative ways of ladies of nowadays? maybe u shd adress ur own issues from what u post atimes.u can't be always right!
You justify Rape?! That means when u travel to ur villa and went swimming in urashi river,girls on swimming attire....you raped them..truth is coming out unconciously.. Bonario the rapist!!!(˘̯˘ ) *Ada Nnewi*
Not in ur place to judge Linda!
Why r some pple so angry wit themselves n tinz around them? The Revd made a good point and for the case of clarity, there are so many reasonz why a man can rape a woman and wat he said is just one of dose reasons *simple*....May God have mercy on anyone that wrote abusive words here. Also, Linda be mindful of wat u post pls. Bless!!
U're really stupid 4 saying that!!! How do you know that? And who gave you the right to say such nonsense about a man of God? True, I know there's no justification why a man should rape a woman, well dressed or not but he's not saying its right. He's just trying to make a point & advice women cos the truth is, the way a woman dresses can actually attract rape.
There has been rapists from time immemorial and guess what, rapists aren't going no where. So prevent your self from being a victim of rape by dressing appropriately.
It is as clear as ice water and that was what the pastor was trying to get across.
You can delude your self by reasoning that because rapists still rape people who were full clothed; you will start going around partially nude[ with boobs and booty staring at every man on the street]. If and when you are raped, you will have no one to blame except your sorry dirty minded ass and the creep that raped you. Never the less, i pray that the creep used a condom on you, so that he doesn't catch anything from you.
End of story.

You must be a silly penticostal fanatic. I'm not an Anglican but I'll neva open my mouth & talk trash about a man of God. You should have stated your opinion without making such assumptions. May God have mercy on you.
What is comfortable about being half naked?! Mtcheww...
WHEN IT COMES TO SEX, SOME CREEPS CANT CONTROL IT. SO LADIES, PREVENT OR MINIMIZE YOUR CHANCES OF BEING RAPED BY DRESSING APPROPRIATELY.
THAT IS THE MESSAGE THE PASTOR SENT ACROSS. THE PASTOR WAS NOT JUSTIFYING RAPE. NOT AT ALL.
@ikunkun you are a frustrated lady. I bet you didnt read the story at all. You opened your mouth to call a priest a half baked pastor? Ask yourself this question (thats if you understand english), what did the priest say? And as for you linda, how come you always dress decently? I bet the priest just gave an example of possible consequences of indecent dressing by ladies. Linda, why didnt you get his whole message (sermon)?
People like him give justification for sexual assault and rape. We ladies see a lot of manly skin even penis(an average man pees in public: so ladies have to contend with that image all the time) daily and we don't go about raping or sexually harassing men due to their nakedness. I can understand if a lay man makes this statement but a man of God *i weep*
Abi oh! D way dis linda thinks n makes summation somtyms is rily sad oh.b4 na lie wetin d man of God talk??even my mom says d same,instead of u 2come out and champion d course of women dressing decently u r here picking holes in what he hz said.abegi-shift jor,no wonder u love promoting Rihanna,cossy n all those useless naked wannabes.why not post d story of d catholic church which claimed abortion is right simply because a foetus is not a 'legal life'.talk about double standard
Linda, the Priest is not justifying rape, he is only condemning indecent dressing. Don't forget that some people suffer from certain compulsive behaviors.
God's Design for Sex

A Nigeria blogger said it like it should be said. 'real men don't rape'. You should check out his blog. http://www.fredrnwonwu.blogspot.com/2013/01/rape-and-nigeria-society.html

I respect u Linda but u r wrong on this one.
Dont construe his words please
And remember "YOU ARE ADDRESSED THE WAY YOU DRESS"
Spiritman Speaks
Seconded! Linda,be careful what u say to a servant of God,else d destruction of God will come upon u, don't let this blog or popularity get into ur head, and so many readers of this blog are ur shadow, they follow whatever u say, its not a must u post this, just read
Linda! potential rapist lol..seriously I always said it this is not an excuse for rape, I see rapists as animals, a rightful thinking nd self disciplined man can't rape even a naked woman, what about d under age children dat are been raped r they wearing tight or revealing clothes? for me rapist can also kill
Ano 3:28 Your father and every male folk in your generation are all rapists.LINDA IKEJI I see u like instigating ppl to talk rubbish about men of God.How dare you mr anonymous insult someone's father and a man of authority? Can't you guys read? Did he in any way say that rape is good? Don't you know that in some country even in the US, they arrest people for indecent exposure? ( Sorry if I sounded rude but u deserved every bit of the insult)
two wrongs dont make a right. lets call a spade a spade and not a big spoon. men are created to be physically stimulated sexually as such you risk your life as lady if you activate men unnecessarily. qed.
Thank you very much Bona you just said it all. Don't mind the atheists. Linda y is that you don't show ur body? Have seen your pictures.
Shut up jare.
Don't incure wrath for yourself..what the preacher is saying is it not what we are seeing today.ladiies even mother going half naked in road and streets
linda u better apologise to this man of God bcoz u just changed d message d man was trying to pass across. The man was only talking about decency but u turn it to rape.
Don't incure wrath for yourself..what the preacher is saying is it not what we are seeing today.ladiies even mother going half naked in road and streets
Yeah, u right..linda is jst tryna interprete those words other way round wich is very expensive.
For sure, females uses tight clothings to lure males into doin wat they never intended to.
#ejikebigdick
Linda gets a washdown for daring to challenge and interprete the words of a man of God. Lwkmd. Abi u no kno say naija pple are very religious.
Truth be told, Linda u shit for church sha.
No Linda, he is NOT justifying rape.
He has only made mention of what could stir up (provoke) a man's sexual desire and thus possibly lead to a man without self-control raping a woman.
I don't think it is right to imply what a person hasn't said.
No wonder Cossy Orjiakor, Rihanna,Beyonce and other agents of darkness are given generous attention on ur blogg. If u deceive urself pleeeeeez dont deceive others. The Priest wz only asking for decent dressing and not rape.
Linda, what if I say:
"Some people just leave cash lying about the house carelessly, therefore allowing their house-help to steal from them"
Does it mean I have justified the house-help stealing or am I trying to caution the folks that leave their money carelessly?
Linda u should be very carefull. How did he justify rape? He didn't do that. Pls u have a blog with a lot of fans, try to send positive msgs. Don't misuse it. R u encouraging indecent dressing? U r beginning to annoy me. If u don't have news just shut up. U should be ashamed of urself Linda.
it takes two to tangle.besides been a catalyst for rape, pls ladies scrutinize wat u wear for self dignity
Oga u sound like a potential RAPIST!!! Who gave u the right to judge who qualifies as a disgrace or not? Better stop throwing stones and CONCENTRATE ON YOUR OWN SALVATION!!!...Nwa Nnewi
If you are a man you are definitely a rare gem for what you have just written!!! To the men with no self control that think every woman that looks nice is dressed up for them to take advantage, take a leaf from this guy's book and drop your animalistic tendencies!, he condemns wrong dressing but stresses that self control in MEN!!
You are one of the reason's for Nigeria's backwardness!!! If any female you know is raped in the future, take note that it is your horrible mindset that continues to encourage such horrible actions!!!
