I don't believe in cutting down unwanted trees as much as in rooting them out.

That said, it is expedient that we address the root cause of the matter, which is the rapist or paedophile or whatever fancy name they are called.

It is said that everybody has a drop of greatness in them. Likewise everybody has a drop of villainy in them. ... of çourse, everyone is a potential rapist/paedophile etc

The problem today is because of the activation of this potential, and the alarming rate at which it has increased...

To solve this problem, we need to stop/annihilate/eradicate the activation of the rape potential. We can achieve this with the help of an activated rapist/paedo...

We have them here on Nairaland. They should volunteer for this great cause. If no one does, then I, myself, will volunteer. But I must warn you, my rape potential is 0. (zero to ñothingness)

EziAsh:


[size=14pt]This issue needs a multiple approach, First there is need to deconstruct the male mentality; this would involve letting them understand that the female gender is NOT for their pleasure.
They should understand that they do not have any right over the female body, so that will mean change the way we bring up female and male children where the male child thinks he can get away with anything.
This is more or less a socio-cultural approach

IBvoss:


THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS SIMPLE.
THE REAL PROBLEM IS BAIL AND WHEN THE FEDERAL LAW DENIES BAIL TO ALL RAPE PERPETRATORS THEN THEY WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN SEXUAL CRIMES IN THE COUNTRY WHEN A MAN RAPING A TODDLER WILL BE JAILED INSTEAD OF ROAMING ABOUT SCOT FREE FOR A SUM OF MONEY WILL SERVE AS AN EXAMPLE TO OTHERS WHO THINK THEY CAN RAPE ANYONE AND BE RELEASED BY PAYING MONEY …

all4naija:


[size=14pt]There should be a weekly debate on the issue on televisions across the country. Organize orientation campaigns on the steps to take by young women and adults in reporting cases to the appropriate agencies, organizations and the police. The government should prioritize the process of indictment and speed up their sentence on sex offenses and grant lawyers the right to forensic evidence from laboratories by sponsoring materials to carry out the process free of charge and with ease.

After that the victims have to be rehabilitated and their family most be made to give them supports. [/size]

raayah:


I could not help but notice that line. I am usually in awe how nairalanders themselves abuse and bash women daily on this website. No respect at all. I remember a gang-rape case of a teenage girl on nairaland and everybody kept blaming the girl.

Rape occurs to both male and female, young and old.

Almost everyday we get a front-page post on nairaland full of men calling women worthless. Seun should encourage threads that uplifts and empowers women.

To the case at hand, I really do like your newspaper opinion. Its a step in the right direction. If the Nigerian police force is willing to co-operate, then we can win this war.

standd:


Nature herself knows that humans have evolved and will continue to evolve.
You say life is not fair and I say I can call forth my own happiness, define my existence, and seek for the things that makes me complete - different from the dictates of a biased society.
It is that simple.

standd:


Let us assume that an Senator is the culprit and we both know that he will buy his way out.
Don't you think printing and distributing his picture and contact, and listing his offence(s) to be distributed Nationwide will have more long-lasting effects than arresting him?

lambvard:
Why are we running after a shadow and fail to nail the truth.

It was believed that men are moved by what they see and women by what they hear.

When you are talking about psychological torture you shouldn't just wake one day and start quoting or amending laws toward it.


Every tree has a root.

1. Our girls dressing this days call for informal raping but the case is always judge formally.

2. Internet is another backbone of every indecency. What law has been in place to tackle that?

3. Our movie industries has also helped a lot in campaigning for raping. What are the censoring board doing?

And others

If you kill 1million rapist today 1billion of them will emerge tomorrow and call for freedom them we will know what it is to fight a psychological war.

Deliver our girls first from being a nudists. We will keep having same result if we keep following the europeans everyday.

Censor internet and movie operation and let a child training campaign be organised to orientate mothers about the basic things every girl need to hear. Everything is not common in Africa including sense.


I stand the chance to be corrected but I want you to read through and reason.

Sharp212:
well I think it will go a long way than arresting him but in a country like this,do you think that doing that will ever be possible?

standd:


Impossible is Nothing.
It will only take a man, a woman or even a child who will birth the idea and make it work.

standd:


Pls, can you explain the bolded fully.

Freemanan:

If decency from the female pack is in tact, the rate of rape or sexual offences will reduce. Hence no need for this discussion... You get the idea?

otiigba1:
as disgusting and immoral as that sounds, its the sad truth, more reason to do whatever it takes to eradicate the ugly act

For some reason you seem to make more sense now than on your previous posts (sarcasm)

Eureka123:


I do not support indecent dressing, but this is a shallow and outdated POV, sorry to say. Teach your sons to control themselves. Life is a matter of choice. Imagine the evil in the heart of a man when that helpless so-called "indecently" dressed woman keeps screaming and shouting for her release. A man who wants to rape a woman will still do it whether she's properly dressed or not.

Sabrwahaqqo:
I just want to make the 270th comment. Its only a rape victim that can lead the war against rape!
So, when this campaign flags off fully fledged, make sure its not just an individual driven by passion or affection but one who have went through the fire and trauma bears that flag. People that have walked through fire leaves sparkles of light everywhere they go.... Adieu!

lambvard:

There might be several reasons for raping, but pls let us address this indecency of a thing among all this nudists girls first. Let us campaign against indecency dressing first and see if it will reduce the raping rate later we can tackle other holes but let fill up this indecency one first.

standd:

The bolded is not true oh

Sabrwahaqqo:

Prove it!

standd:


True. Start a campaign against indecency in your area, that's a good start.

standd:


What's there to prove? We all have passions in life that we pursue, dreams that we work hard to achieve.
For instance, I yearn to adopt about 30 orphans when I'm bouyant enough, so are you saying I have to be an orphan before I can do that?

[b]Suggestions By Nairalanders:::


1. First of all, a national reorientation/awareness to
change people's perception of rape! Most people don't
see it as a big deal and the rest just want to keep it hush
hush cos of the stigma & guilt that follows the victim

2. Create a National database for "Convicted" sex offenders that can be accessed by Schools & any employer of labour

3. There should be a law requiring Sex offenders to inform neighbours & Community leaders of their status

4. Stiffer Penalty for the crime & for crying wolf!

5. Police officers (many female ones) and other victim support professionals have to be trained to encourage victims to come forward. No need to be ashamed.

6. Anonymity for victims (with measures to guard against
spurious & malicious accusations). Stiff penalty for false
accusation.

7. Many people in Nigeria are careless with their children - they need to be a lot more vigilant. Why do strange people have access to their children? Why are the parents not around? Why are so many people having children that they cannot care for?Sadly it is often the parents who are the indirect facilitators of abuse by way of their neglect.
