Another Facebook user, John O Adoyi wrote; “Is a good development. However, the Council would have allow their consciences to guide and judge them. “Personal opinion”.
Lending his opinion, Adoyi Gideon wrote; “Even in sharia law immorality & extra marital affairs still abound.
Trousers,shorts,mini-wares ,wrappers, sexy-dress & corporate/native outfits has nothing wrong on their own. if used with all sense of decency & modesty either privately or publicly according to functions with reverence to God’s law and unlawful seduction . _Personal Opinion.”
The world has moved on oooo.
That law looks like Sharia law or have they Islamized Efekwo too?”
