I hate the subject of rape; the idea alone is something that offends my sensibilities just as it should for any rational thinking human being. In fact, rape is supposed to be as alien to Africa as do her religion. Is that the case? Now the LOGIC. The idea of clothes in Africa is a western construct. To say that we were ever naked is to suggest that God made clothes. Africans were never naked; they were natural in the way God intended it to be.

No day passes in Africa that would not account for rape. Am not talking about one case but many cases that most times have the victims killed or left in a state that blur away their sense of life. I do not want to mention names, but most pastors are today charged of raping their church members or the dastardly act committed in the premises of the church under the pretext of ‘releasing anointing’.

The church is no longer morally driven, salvation too is only a theorised concept designed to extort the ignorant and religious bigots. The idea of fashion and dress pattern has also been altered in the church so as to ‘accommodate’ everyone. I use the word accommodate advisedly because what is been accommodated is the promissory note that the church wants from the worshippers.
