Nollywood actress Ene Ogiri has called out Christian women, particularly celebrities, over what she describes as a pattern of indecent dressing and exposure on social media.
Using her sister Sonia as a "point of reference" in a recent Instagram video, Ogiri explained that once a social media post is set to "public," the poster loses control over how people react to or comment on it.
"When your post becomes public, you have no control over people's opinion on your post. You have no control over people's comment on your posts," she said.
She argued that criticising a public post is not the same as invading someone's privacy.
"I did not hack your phone. I did not post something that was private. I'm talking about something that you already posted for the whole world to see," she said.
She went on to specifically address Nollywood's Christian actresses, accusing some of maintaining the same style of dressing for over two decades despite their influence on younger fans, including Gen Z.
"There are ladies in Nollywood that I have known since the past 20 years... and since I have known them, they have been dressing very indecently. You all know, till today, you are still dressing indecently," she said, urging them to be role models instead. "Let them enjoy their moment. You should be a role model to them."
Ogiri pushed back against common justifications she said some women give for indecent posts, including "I'm posting for myself" and "nobody's perfect." She argued that faith comes with standards.
"You cannot serve God the way you want. Christianity is not a joke," she said, adding a comparison to Muslim women's dress code: "When you see a Muslim woman, you don't need anybody to tell you that she is a Muslim... Let's give honour to whom honour is due."
She closed her message with an appeal to protect children from exposure to such content, referencing a comment reportedly made by her nephew.
"One of my nephews told me, 'Mom Yene, I stopped going on Instagram because I cannot stand to see my mother naked.' He was referring to Sonia. You traumatise these children," she said.
