About this event
Mike Bamiloye, a prominent figure in Nigeria's evangelical film-making, garnered widespread recognition for igniting a discourse surrounding women's attire with his recent social media post, questioning, "dressed to kill; are you a hired assassin?"
This post reignited an enduring debate regarding women's fashion, especially within the christian Faith. This fashion dialogue frequently interweaves with conversations on women's sexuality and the potential objectification of their bodies.This seminar trails Nigerian Pentecostal theology, where a belief exists in the spiritual dimension of sexuality and the ensuing implications.
