Bishop Abioye Blasts Men Who Wear Earrings, Plait Their Hair: "Stop Behaving Like a Street Boy"

• Bishop David O. Abioye, a former vice president of Winners Chapel Church, has come for men who wear earrings and plait their hair
• During a sermon, the preacher blasted them, wondering why they weren't satisfied with the way God created them
• The cleric's statement on men wearing earrings and plaiting their hair has sparked a conversation on social media

The founder of Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly, Bishop David Abioye, has come for men who plait their hair and wear earrings.

The former Winners Chapel vice president slammed men who do such during a recent sermon.

Bishop Abioye's comment on men wearing earrings

While referring to the male gender as kings, the preacher noted that kings are recognised for royalty, mentally and physically, and warned them to stop behaving like street boys.

He urged men to carry themselves in a manner that people would see something unique about them when they appear in public.

Abioye cited cultural and spiritual reasons for his assertion and questioned why men who adorn earrings and plait their hair aren't satisfied with how God created them.

Bishop Abioye's statement on men who wear earrings and plait their hair read:

"Kings are recognised for royalty, mentally and physically. Stop behaving like a street boy. Royalty, including your appearance. Don't dress carelessly. Royalty is synonymous to kingship. Carry yourself in a manner that when people see you in public, they see something unique about you.

"Don't look like a rogue. Even in the system of the world, you don't see people in potential position dress anyhow. You put earrings as a man, what are you doing with it? Plaiting your hair as a man, what are you doing with it? I know many young people won't like what I'm saying, but I have to show it to you from scriptures and from culture.

"Even if you don't know scriptures, behave culturally. Behave culturally. What is fitting, is fitting. God created you as a man, for those of you who are men and created you as a woman. Why would you like to be like a woman when he created you like a man? Why aren't you satisfied with the way God made you?

"Royalty reflects spiritually, mentally and physically. Behave it, act it, look it..."

A short clip of the preacher's statement was shared online by Church Gist.
