That is a misconception. Nigeria has some really good laws against despoil. We have very good laws . . . even against child abuse and pedophilia. Only we choose NOT to implement them, especially because EGOS are usually involved.

dayokanu:

You mean they cant date Nigerian soldiers?

dayokanu:

My own thinking is that if your are despoiled, there is a high chance you wont know the nationalties of the attackers as he wont come there wearing a Naija flag.

dayokanu:

Tell me if someone was despoiled in Chicago by a white male, would she know if the attacker is a Slavic descendant or from the Irish. Would she know if he is from California or from NJ. Most likely her report would be that he is around 30, M blond etc and this kind of description fits all Africans

dayokanu:

The situation was probably the soldiers made friends with their host community. The Liquors seller, the high sch chic, the market woman, They were just toasting them. The girls too felt thats an avenue to get out of war torn Liberia.

The soldiers were abruptly posted from Liberia and the girlfriends had kids for them

0hsisi:

no wonder many of those soldiers came home with HIV
Instead of patrolling the area,they were patrolling the women

~Bluetooth:

yes but wha is in a law if it is not implementable. . .i have a friend that was r a p e d when i was in school and she told me the guy couldnt be prosecuted for lack of sufficient evidence;i was sad when i heard the story.so how  would a r a p e victim prove her case if she couldnt provide the needed evidence in the court ?

THE AMAKA:

@topic
BULLSH!T!
won't these people leave Naija alone? KAI

0hsisi:

leave who alone?
you may have first cousins in Monrovia longing to know you

But think for a second about this though. A woman despoiled in a western country under the same circumstance has a change of getting justice at the courts. And we are talking PRE-DNA testing. We have the laws on book but because in our society, we have this preconception that women are always guilty, we ignore implementing of laws to protect our women over and over. So many men go as far as to BOAST about it.

I attended one of the universities down there in NIgeria, and the rate of ra-pes on campus was ridiculous then. You knew at least one or two women who had been despoiled and most times they knew who did it but when some tried to alert the authorities they were threatened instead with expulsion.

~Bluetooth:

some victims even preferred not telling anybody because of the stigma involve.i think the government is doing less to protect r a p e victims honestly.

Kobojunkie:

It is horrible . . .

Not trying to be insensitive, but I don't see how Nigeria is responsible for these 250000.There is no proof that they were fathered by Nigerian soldiers and DNA test is impossible.Liberia should stop trying to push their destitute children on Nigerians to take care of them.We are already dealing with population explosion here, where are the resources to take care of 250000 people, when enough people are suffering.Abike Dabiri does not have enough work to do and needs to be reassigned.If these children were not born in Nigeria, or their birth certificates were not signed by the proposed father's? Too bad, they become the responsibility of Liberia, not Nigeria.

There already are millions of Nigerian/Sierra Leone and Liberian mixture. I have one very very beautiful and cute bootyful class mate who said she is Nigerian/Sierra Leonian but she was born in Sierra Leone. I don't know but the possibility of Nigerian military having a relationship with those women is very slim.

So someone read that US soldiers rap_ed Iraqi women, It was reported and published in NY times as well. But does that mean what Nigerian soldiers did was right? What kind of brain do you guys have? This thread is not about US this is about Nigeria. The kids will become Nigerians and Nigeria is pushing 170mill plus other in the diaspora. If you count how many kids Nigerian men abandon here after getting their papers, Nigeria should be pushing 170.3mill mostly bi racial and others with Afro-Americans.

what makes them different case ? they are both group of armed men who took advantage of innocent girls during the war.so ?

TewMuch:

Nigeria does not owe them anything. I dare you to try stepping into and American or US embassy and alleging all what these women are alleging, just to get citizenship and recognition. In just 2 minutes, you will be thrown out on your backside in the cold. Their country should take responsibility, those are the negative aspects of war. Next time they will look out for the best interest of their citizens, rather than letting rebels take them over. Too bad, Nigerians are not the baby daddy's.

9jaganja:

We should deal with our own issues. You can't say we won't blame them simply because Americans do the same. That is absurd. US is corrupt so will you say we shouldn't tackle corruption simply because the United States is also corrupt? Common!!! This is about Nigerian Military and not about the US.

9jaganja:


You do now according to constitution, if you have at least a Nigerian parent you are automatically a Nigerian right? Also it was reported the scale at which Nigeria military men either rap-ed or were fornicating with Liberian women during the war. It's no doubt and it has a very high probability. It better to believe than to not.

TewMuch:

Until they can provide proof of the bolded above, and the Nigerian soldier comes forward to accept responsibility and sign the birth certificate. Also, after DNA tests. Then sure. But this is highly unlikely. So as it stands, they are Liberians.

9jaganja:

Are you serious? If American soldiers fathered some children and DNA test proves that, the kids becomes Americans automatically no doubt. Especially if it was a soldier on mission. This isn't about the US people stop this!!

maybe we shouldnt blame our soldiers much afterall since the us soldiers too do commit such atrocities.it's a military thing

9jaganja:

That was what you said and it's wrong brother!!!

TewMuch:

Nigerians that have no National identification number, and probably no way to trace these people after they leave service. Nigerians can only be found when they want to be found.lol. Also, these women say they were despoiled. Who will come and confess that they despoiled a woman? My guess, none. So Liberia should embrace their children with love. They are not Nigerians.

did you see my comment before and after this one ? no,because tha one got your attention.na wao

9jaganja:

That is why Nigerian government will just have to accept this kids since the military men that despoiled this women were under Nigerian order. Nigeria will have to take responsibility for them.
