The Founder of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, has expressed strong disapproval over the rising prevalence of indecent dressing among young women, calling it a troubling trend.
During the fourth service at Salvation Ministries headquarters, Ibiyeomie addressed the issue of wearing leg chains, cautioning women against blindly following worldly fashion trends without knowing the meanings behind them.
“Many of you want to be fashionable, but you don’t know the implication of what you are doing,” the pastor stated, as his congregation listened in rapt attention.
This was revealed in a post shared on Monday by Church Times Nigeria via X.
He particularly focused on the fashion trend of wearing leg chains, stating, “Ladies who wear chains on their legs simply mean, ‘I am a prostitute.’”
Elaborating on his view, Ibiyeomie stated, “The original meaning of wearing chains on the legs is, ‘you are a whore, you are not in the hotel but you are available.’”
He added, “Wearing chains on the legs is not fashion, it is simply an advertisement for prostitution.”
He was direct in warning young women against adopting such trends, encouraging believers to uphold godly standards.
The pastor also condemned the revealing of private parts under the guise of fashion, describing it as irresponsible.
“You opened all your breasts and you say people are disturbing you,” Ibiyeomie remarked pointedly.
He further criticised the use of see-through outfits that expose underwear, calling it a sign of moral decay.
His remarks have sparked widespread reactions, with many people backing his viewpoint while others question the tone and appropriateness of his candid statements.
Ibiyeomie concluded, “How you dress will determine how people will address you.”
