        Ghost workers, understaffed ministries, poor payment of workers, equal opportunities for all, And the biggest problem is length of skirt

        If its in an office environment, sure I don't mind dresscodes for employees.(of both sexes) But the problem is this occurs outside as well

        This is supported. Who taught African women (and in what context) to wear 'Minis' anyway? #Conservatism conserves, #Liberalism destroys.

        The issue is not the skirts. The issue is defining and enforcing a collective value system. And yes, this is a priority for Africa.
