Nollywood filmmaker Biodun Stephen has urged young women to always wear bras and panties in public, citing the recent viral incident involving a female passenger on an Ibom Air flight as a cautionary example.
Gatekeepers News reports that her advice follows the August 10 altercation between passenger Comfort Emmanson, flight attendants, and airport security.
Recall that videos showed Emmanson’s bosom exposed while she was being forcibly removed from the aircraft in Lagos.
Reacting via Instagram, Stephen recalled that she had previously advised women to wear underwear but faced criticism for her stance.
She said, “I do recall few years ago when I did a video that people should stop going without panties. After sometimes, I also warned that people should always deem it fit to wear bra. Some of you said you can do whatever you like with your breast.”
“Can you all see what has happened now? The girl from the Ibom Airline. She knew she was not wearing bra or panties and she still wanted to fight.”
Stephen further likened underwear to necessary tools in case of unexpected physical confrontations.
She said, “At least if you want to warfare, you must have the necessary tools of weaponry. Eg. You wear pants and bra. Because that lady wore leggings that day and I believed she did not also wear a pant.”
“Did you see her two breasts out? People that were not supposed to see it, they all did. Once you people wear body hugs, you refuse to wear bra.”
“… I’m saying it again, wear your bra, wear your pants — so that when the spirit of Hulk Hogan enters you, you’ll be ready for battle.”
