In a video on social media, Obuobia Darko-Opoku indicated that it is not nice for ladies to dress up, step out and start pulling their clothes to cover exposed parts.

She advised that anytime people are leaving their homes and they feel uncomfortable with what they are wearing, they should change their clothes into a more comfortable one.

“Sometimes you just enter the place and you are thinking that I’m out of place. Listen if you are getting out of your room and you are not comfortable in what you are wearing please don’t wear it. Because all your attention goes on how you look.”

All of you who will show your cleavages and forget that you are coming into a space like this, we sit here and all we see is that you keep dragging your dress,” she added.

Obuobia Darko-Opoku said ladies should look at themselves in the mirror and ask if their looks will be admired by others before stepping out.
