The
management of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has banned its female
staff from wearing miniskirts and jeans trousers to work. According to a
statement by the general manager of NPA, female staff members who are
found wanting will be sanctioned. (Read here)
A lot of Nigerians expressed disbelief over the matter, wondering why the management is not focusing on more important issues that could affect the country positively. Veteran talk show host Funmi Iyanda also slammed the report.

ReplyDeleteDecency in the work place is essential. I stand for it and we should'nt make a big deal about it. When you set out of your work place you dress with the dignity of a woman not mind set of a prostitute,..simple
ReplyDeleteIts just sick, maybe the mini skirt, but trousers? Seriously? Trousers? Most women are more comfortable and agile wearing trousers! Keep your church morals in your house, don't bring it to work.
ReplyDeleteThis is the change you yorubas voted for
ReplyDeleteBut I beg to differ, every job has its own ethics, notwithstanding the country is facing economic difficulties, that doesn't mean people should flout organizational work ethics. My office like every other office has dress code and you don't come to work wearing anything you like.

Mini skirts is wrong but not jeans trousers. Haba,

ReplyDeleteMe sef taya for dem
ReplyDeleteLinda bae......I tire sef, mad people everywhere trying to enforce their stupid Muslim beliefs on everyone simply because their illiterate and clueless president put them in positions they don't deserve. Acting holier than thou when their wayward Muslim girls go about doing ashawo work with their long hijab with nothing underneath. Nonessential idiots. Keep banning jeans while the country recesses
ReplyDeleteHello Linda. I have seen on different job sites that you hiring. please i would love to be one of your radio hosts. i have submitted my application, i know you would have gotten a lot of applications but i would very much be delighted to be one of your radio hosts.I have BSC International Relations. My email is laurelada.o@gmail.com. Please do consider me. Thank You
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong in having a dress code for work?? So people should go to work wearing anything they like. Pls leave the minis and jeans for the club. Work is serious. I will also like the dress code extended to the men too, because some men tend to dress shabbily to work too.
ReplyDeleteThey want to Islamise Nigeria by force.
ReplyDeletewell, my take is simply: get some work done, that's no priority at all
ReplyDelete-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
How did you know they are not doing their jobs? indecent dressing is common with girls with nothing upstairs why intelligent ones dressing modestly and this has to be corrected. I know a lot of people will attack this poor woman for this decision. no one is more hated than he who speaks the truth. Christ will be disappointed in majority of christens like Funmi Iyanda for not dressing like mother of Christ (not dressing modestly).
ReplyDeleteYou are what you wear. The onus is on ladies to dress appropriately. It's wrong to ban trousers; but also wrong to wear mini skirts to a working environment. It should never have to get to that point.

ReplyDeleteThis girl u are very annoying with ur wack way of writing. Get a life?
DeleteThis is the "change"APC promised Nigerians abi?
ReplyDeleteThey are trying to impose their muslim belief on Nigerians and Nigerians are doing sit down look. They won't protest now o.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you expect when for Buhari what was best for the revival of NPA was to make an ELEHA (Yoruba word for woman in purdah) the MD of NPA....
ReplyDeleteNow the woman, IDIOT of the worst timbre, is at it, preparing the ground not for NPA's success, but for its evisceration, and final shredding with her abracadabra, reactionary, and ISIS-inspired mindset....
O sure! she is taking a cue from her Islamist mentor and principal, Buhari.....
Nothing consumes and dominates the minds of these no-gooders than to impose their own imprisonment called Sharia on the rest of the free world...
Heck!!! Nobody wants to share in your life imprisonment.....
I cherish the freedom I have in my Christian faith!
Buhari and co should know that Nigeria is not a muslim country!
ReplyDeleteIf they are talking of all this micro minis I will say ok but normal skirt and trouser? HELL NO!
ReplyDeleteWe don't argue when they say wearing hijab is their religious fundamental right, they should leave us alone with our jean, its our fundamental roight too. Foolish woman.
ReplyDeleteBut the women are at liberty to dress all veiled in black like the Kaaba stone in mecca, the focal epicenter of Muslim Satan worship!
ReplyDeleteAs if dressing is the problem....
Brain-dead zombies!
These days abuse has nothing to do with your dressing. In fact, women wearing jeans especially @NPA is needed
ReplyDeleteEva Da Diva...
Every organization has their dress code. If NPA is banning "jeans trouser", then there is a reason for it... So Nigerians shud chill and those working there shud comply or take a walk.

i am a full fledged christian redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb , how can you question indecent dress codes to office . Why would anybody wear jeans , spaghetti strapped dresses ,mini skirts, tight trousers to work ?where does islamisation come in ? Can you wear such things to the house of God?
ReplyDeleteThere are dress codes for every occasion and I'm surprised that Funmi Iyanda can write such trash, can your househelp come into your house with min skirt? Nigerians please go and read the NPA memo and stop coming to conclusions that were not in the document. If you want to dress as you like please find the office that accommodates such trash.
Thank you ooo

How sad for madam feminism to talk so childishly, why don't she question bankers or other private firms on their dress codes? But once it's govt matter every Tom, Dick and Harry will have an opinion. So people should dress like harlots just because it doesn't affect the economy? Smh
ReplyDeleteNPA this is another means for a call of warning to you because you al; feel like we are really in a lawless country and you can get away with anything now let me remind you pay my late daddy pension, he worked his body for you people here in warri, he wasnt just an ordinary man but a man that stood for you, he was one time contesting for union chairman and almost won but stepped down cause he was sick.
ReplyDeleteThere isn't any man who works at NPA Warri that don't know him yet he died and all of a sudden his file got missing as if that wasn't enough you people asked us to enter where you kept files to look for it ourselves as if i was the one who misplaced it.
We have served you a paper before and you acted now you are reluctant again maybe this time we would really take it to court and sue you all for negligence.
Just wait.
My stake is, the average Muslim wants to make every body understand that dressing to cover is Islamic. So it's not point in Islam and she fights it. But for me, it does not make news because NHS is not in Saudi Arabia, it's in Nigeria. People here wear average Skirts to work and from the tune of that warning, she is going to fight every body who she considers not wearing Islamic(not covering head to toe). They abuse, they fight and they can kill.
ReplyDeleteI would have taught simple smart """""please let's dress good and modest"""" can still solve the problem. Smart people use smart means and who is she and how did she get that Job????? Need FFK to tell us more. Wish her well anyway.
Funmi for investigate the matter well before ranting, the dress code mata don dae ground tae. Na gossip blogs dae stir up all this heat.
