MADAM MODESTY RECEIVES UNITED NATIONS CELEBRITIES’ AMBASSADOR FOR PEACE AWARD

Imelda Osuji Ahunna, popularly known as Madam Modesty receives an award by the United Nations for her immense and selfless contribution to world peace and stability.

Madam Modesty is the founder of Women and Modesty Internationals, an NGO that advocates for decent dressing among women.

Overtime, Women and Modesty Internationals has been able to reach out to Nigerian women and ladies on morals and the effect of provocative and revealing dresses.

According to Madam Modesty, for the nation to curb the spread of HIV/AIDS and other terminal diseases, it has to start from the grassroots by campaigning against seductive appearance among women.  

‘‘The fashion sense of today’s female folks is extremely appalling. Fashion is not revealing your intimate parts. You can dress decently and still look good. What you wear is what you are. Dressing modestly does not make anyone a saint, we all have our shortcomings but lets cover up our bodies as we work on those shortcomings'', she said.

The NGO has so far visited schools, campuses, hostels and other places to educate ladies.  And as a result, a lot of lives have been transformed. 

To madam modesty, this is her own quota to ensure rapid growth and development in her beloved country, Nigeria.
From the above premise, the reason for the award is lucid and not far-fetched.

Other awardees are Halima Abubakar, Sunny Neji, Princess Anne Inyang, Benita Nzeribe, J Martins and host of others. The event was anchored by Yaw, popular TV/Radio Presenter.

Before the awards were given, the president of the Youth Federation  for World Peace, Ambassador Dr Eras Darlington Eguaoje gave a speech on Fundamental Universal Principles and World Peace. 
 
The United Nations Celebrities’ Ambassadors for Peace Award is usually given to recognise people who have contributed to the growth of peace in their respective countries.  The theme for the year was Quest for sustainable peace in Nigeria.

The remarkable event was also graced by Soul E baba and Alariwo of Africa, Kingsley Bucknor, Tokunbo Adeyemi and host of others.

  9. Madam Modesty, if you truly want to deal with indecent dressings, you have to start from the source, the parents and importers of this dresses.

  11. Remember, indecent dressing is not only among women, it exists among men also. Sagging is part of indecent dressing.
