Comedian Arole Criticizes Ladies Who Attend Public Events Without Wearing Bras

Popular Nigerian comedian Arole has sparked debate online after sharing his views on women’s dressing at public gatherings.

Taking to his Instagram page, Arole expressed disapproval at the trend of ladies attending events such as weddings, birthday parties, and other social functions without wearing a bra.

According to him, it is “highly indecent” for a woman to step out in public in such a manner. He went further to argue that any woman who defends the practice is also indecent.

His remarks have since stirred mixed reactions on social media, with some agreeing with his stance while others see it as body-policing and unnecessary interference in women’s choices.

Opinion

Arole’s comments touch on a deeply cultural and sensitive issue — the line between personal freedom and societal expectations in Nigeria. In many communities, how women dress is often seen as a reflection of morality, but such views are increasingly being challenged in today’s world where personal expression is celebrated.

While Arole believes not wearing a bra to public events is “indecent,” others argue that comfort, body autonomy, and fashion trends should not be policed. After all, style is evolving, and what one generation considered indecent may be completely normal for another.

The real question is: should decency be measured by clothing, or by character? Perhaps, instead of focusing solely on external appearances, society would do better to encourage respect, kindness, and integrity — values that truly define decency.

That said, his comments do highlight a generational tension in Nigeria, where traditional views of modesty clash with modern expressions of individuality. And as always, debates like this remind us that fashion will continue to be one of the biggest battlegrounds between culture and personal freedom.
