Media personality Toyosi Etim-Effiong has called out women over their choice of outfits for church, emphasizing the need for greater respect and reverence in God’s house.
As a devout Christian and the wife of Nollywood actor Daniel Etim-Effiong, Toyosi expressed her concerns in a recent social media post, highlighting that certain clothes, more suited for casual outings, should not be worn in a place of worship.
Her statement ehighlight the belief that the church, as a holy ground, deserves attire that reflects the sanctity and reverence owed to God, who continues to guide and protect lives.
Transitioning from her role as a media figure to a voice of reason, Toyosi urged her followers to consider the significance of their appearance in church.
She pointed out that while people often dress with care and respect when meeting earthly authorities, the same consideration should be given when attending church, a place dedicated to meeting God.
“My gender please nau, let’s dress differently to church. The cloth for Zaza is not the cloth for church,” she wrote, drawing a clear line between fashion for social gatherings and the solemnity expected in a place of worship.
Toyosi’s message is not just about decorum, but also about understanding the purpose of attending church.
She emphasized that church should be about focusing on God and avoiding distractions that might arise from inappropriate clothing.
As a public figure and role model, Toyosi leads by example, reminding others that respect for God and His house is paramount.
“Why does it seem like you show these people more respect in your dressing than you show your God?” she questioned, urging women to prioritize their relationship with God above all else.
Her words resonate as a call to action for all, encouraging them to dress with the humility and reverence that the church, as a holy ground, demands.
