in politics, the dress code has nothing to do about u internationally,but how much u have contributed,as a president,governor e.t.c to the growth n development of ur country,state or wherever. For instance,if nigeria is over developed wit everything at its best,no one wil give two hecks if gej wears a p.j to china..lolz 2 Likes |

hotmas911: modernisation is not westernisation. I just think our politicians need to modernise. I beg to differ.. it has more to do with westernisation. I see no way in which wearing a suit represents modernisation cos if that's the case then all the advanced middle eaastern countries (Saudi, Qatar, UAE etc.) are backward. 2 Likes |

Fazhy: THe solution my friend, is that let them wear their respective traditional clothes, but let them do it with some style, dignity and etiquette. Their trad. clothes symbolize the uniqueness and soverieignity of the NIgerian state. The important point is that they must look and evoke respect in the eyes of foreign dignitaries and statesmen. so there should probably be a comission of stylists that decides the Presidents wardrobe for foreign functions. 1 Like |

tomakint: I concur with your reasoning @ OP, I think our politicians need to be decked in 'French Suit' I hate seeing them in those flowing garments that looked like parachute on them! suit? So, u can imagine OBJ, IBB, Asari etc on suits? Mehn, Naija politicians are shapeless. Only Sullivan Chime, Sanusi and few will wear suits and u will fall in luv with suits, the rest better continue covering their gorilla bodies with flowing gowns n frills. 2 Likes |

@ OP that is because nigeria is full of corrupt politicians. When you wear suit you cannot hide a brief case filled with money in it but with Agbada you can carry a bag filled with money and use the Agbada to cover it and nobody can ever notice it. Agbada is worn by politicians in nigerian to aid them steal large some of money without people noticing it. |

Our dress code/mode has got nothing to do with the tact. It's all a function of what exists between the ears of the wearer! Wear french or german suit, if nothing good exists between your ears, you remain a goof. |

I find it funny that people in hot tropical climate want their president to be wearing a (suites) design made for cold, shivering cold climate. Try wearing a suit to work everyday for a year before making this suggestion. The president should wear whatever he is comfortable with, and aligns with any message he wishes to send across. 3 Likes |

mikeansy: Nobody is asking anyone to loose their culture Dude, u are subliminally advocating for a repression of our identity. I will never support our public office holders wearing suit at all. Although I am not a fan of Jonathan but let him wear is native attire, and hey what is wrong with is outfit? U have been mentally conditioned to accept everything of the white man as normal and perfect... Except Agbada which is somewhat superfluous, and more and more ppl are wearing less agbada these days. If u want to advocate for smarter attires, why not advocate for our smarter attires? why must they be western to be smart? And next time, try to base ur argument on more intellectual substance, cos its grossly embarrassing that u think wearing a white man's cloth could have been a solution to the biggest of our problems. We may or may not have more culture than the countries u have mentioned but the only certain thing is that we are a mile more proud of who we are and our identity than all those countries u have mentioned. And that is the only thing we have left going good for us. Or have u not asked urself the reason we have prospered in arts and entertainment compared to those countries? 3 Likes |

I think on this thread, we must take a leaf out the Gulf Arabs. Does anyone here live or has been to the UAE, KSA, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, etc.? you will notice that in these countries, almost all the local populace wear their traditional attires. They still maintain their tribal identities in these areas. Also you will notice that they have "modernized" their own respective attires. They have not done away with it. 1 Like |

obailala: Your theory sounds like Boko Haram's motto. We can also in the same vein do away with women's rights because the Middle Eastern countries do away with it and they are civilized. Go check the meanings of 'modernization', 'westernization', and 'civilization'. Certainly being attired in a modern outfit to a degree projects a more unified and dignified Nigeria. |

and just out of curiousity and my education whose culture involve suit wearing? Because am pretty sure that any country you name you can go back in history to find when the majority of the people or the country's leaders did not where suits? |

I think for me the dressing code does not matter so far you are wearing something that is decent & comfortable for you. All that matter most is the inner code of conduct. Be discipline in all manner of life. Charity begins at home. |

If you see him you will know his culture is not lost on him one bit! and yet during State functions he looks the part. You know what?
