Biodun Stephen criticises trend of women going out without underwear

Filmmaker Biodun Stephen has condemned the growing trend of women appearing in public without underwear, describing it as ‘nuisance’ and not a legitimate fashion choice.

In a TikTok video, Stephen recounted a recent incident at a salon where a woman’s privat3 part was inadvertently exposed due to the absence of underwear, citing it as an example of why the trend should be discouraged.

“Last week, I went to get my hair done at the salon. A lady came in to do her pedicure. As she sat, I looked at her side, I saw her vagina in full display.

“Who is teaching us all these fashion? Is it a fashion trend not to wear pant?” she asked.

She emphasised the need for women to prioritise modesty and wear suitable undergarments in public.

Stephen, who has consistently spoken out against this practice since 2015, questioned the influence behind this trend.

“I believe the first time I talked about ladies not putting on pants was in 2015. Let’s try to always wear pants, there are several types. Why don’t we like wearing pants?” she said.

She stressed that it’s unnecessary and uncomfortable for others, urging women to wear pants or other suitable undergarments.

“You are coming for a pedicure, you would at least wear something long. Must you wear mini gown or skirt without pant?

“Why is pant your enemy? Who told you pant is your enemy? Who told you it isn’t good for you? Please stop doing it. This is not fashion, it is nuisance”, she added.
