It troubles one to observe that Nigeria ’s clean weekday newspapers
metamorphose into lewdpapers at
weekends. Saturday and Sunday when you look forward to domestic company with
child-friendly weeklies, you are trapped in an oppressive nightmare, wrestling
with nudepapers. They flaunt naked
images of female bodies not healthy for impressionable young minds. But these
expressive photos also harm the larger society with destructive far-reaching
consequences: they devalue the dignity of our womenfolk; they offer false and
ungodly standards about intimacy between man and woman; they trigger an
unending chain of loose moral conduct among the youths and the adults.
