Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James recently shared a video showing how she made Priscy Ojo’s wedding dress. In the video, she explained that she had prayed and believed God gave her the inspiration to design the dress.
However, this statement did not sit well with Nigerian evangelist Benita Okeke. She went on Instagram to criticize Veekee James for saying the Holy Spirit inspired the design.
Benita strongly disagreed, calling the wedding dress “indecent.” She said that the Holy Spirit would never lead someone to create a dress like that. Her post sparked discussions online, with many people sharing different opinions.
The disagreement has stirred conversation about fashion, religion, and what is considered appropriate or not when it comes to wedding dresses.
In her words: “The dress was not decent, it wasn’t decent clothing. And I’m like ‘will the Holy Spirit really lead you to sew a cloth that is indecent?’ Isn’t this a licence for indecency? Because if you claim that the holy spirit led to you sew cloth that is revealing, exposing parts of your body that is supposed to be covered, then I think it’s a license for indecency and that is not consistent with scripture. The Bible says we should be modest and decent and we know that the nature of God does not support indecency so how can the Holy Spirit lead you to sew a cloth that is not appropriate? A cloth that you’d never even wear to the church, a cloth that isn’t even appropriate for a Christian person and you say the Holy Spirit led you.”
