Giving this counsel, he cited gospel singer, Mercy Chinwo, who recently got married to her husband, Pastor Blessed of The Waterbrook Church, as an example who should be emulated.

He shared wedding photos of the couple and captioned them,

“Dear Ladies you can be properly dressed, fully covered and still capture the best Husband. Decency pays ”.

His tweet elicited varying reactions from tweeps. As at the time of filing the report, the post had garnered over a thousand comments.

A Twitter user @AdaNri1L asked,

“Who gave you the yardstick of measuring “best husbands”? Are you in their lives? Stop with this misogyny. Marriage is not an achievement. So many decent girls are unmarried and there’s nothing wrong with that.”

@youwantawar wrote, “Dear insecure men; your opinion about women and how they dress means nothing.It’s none of your business. Fix your own house before judging someone else’s.”
