Bishop David Abioye, Pastor of Living World Conquerors Global Assembly, has expressed strong disapproval of men who wear earrings or braid their hair in a feminine style.
While addressing his congregation in a sermon captured on video and shared on Monday, the cleric questioned why a man would choose to imitate a woman’s appearance, stressing the importance of dressing in a respectable and dignified manner.
“Kings are recognised for royalty, mentally and physically. Stop behaving like a street boy, including your appearance. Don’t dress carelessly. Royalty is synonymous with kingship,” he said.

He urged men to present themselves in a way that sets them apart and commands respect in society. “Carry yourself in a manner that when people see you in public, they see something unique about you. Even in the system of the world, you don’t see people in positions dressing anyhow.”
Abioye specifically took aim at men who wear earrings or plait their hair, questioning the purpose behind such choices. “Putting earrings on as a man, what are you doing with it? Plaiting your hair as a man, what are you doing with it?” he asked.
Acknowledging that his views may not sit well with younger audiences, he added, “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 scripture, behave culturally.”
Bishop Abioye concluded by urging men to embrace their God-given identity. “What is fitting is fitting. God created you as a man, for those of you who are men. Why would you like to be a woman when he created you like a man? Why aren’t you satisfied with the way God made you?”
