A BRIEF ON MORAL DECADENCE: THE NIGERIA
SITUATION
In the world today, shame and shamelessness arerewarded with encomiums and emphasized
recognition, Unclothedness is now directly proportionalto your fame and acceptance, skimpy dresses are nowtickets to classy events, songs that have intimate talks
in them sell faster than the meaningful ones, when yourtrousers is around your waist then you are seen as a
"learner", big girls are now identified by level ofexposure of their private parts. Even the world Religion
and the institutions have failed in eradicating thisdangerous way of life. What is the hope? Would thesociety continue to condone this act? Where will this
lead us to? Is this how the great men of this world livedtheir youth lives?
