bushdoc9919: The problem is not about what the law said, but what the law hasn't said.. and this law creates a lot of grey areas that can be exploited.. How do you correlate a law that grants the legal age of consent as 18 but ascribes punishment for offenders of adolescent s(not even teenagers). Maybe someone should explain that to some of us here. 3 Likes |

dBard: The law said nothing about changing the age of consent from 11 to 18. What the law does is make the punishment stiffer for any offender who molests underage children....if the child is under 11 years of age. Read the article again please. |

OREMUSSANCTUS: have you ever wondered why you frequently insult Islam/Muslims and no Muslim retaliates by insulting your religion Christianity? It's because in Islam, we are not taught to insult people's religion, AND i dont think it is any where written in the Bible that Christians should insult other people's faith. I DON'T think you were ever taught to insult people's religion since you've been going to Church. You really need to grow up and stop behaving like a kid. GROW UP for your own good. Insulting Islam/Muslims won't do you any good in the hereafter. 1 Like |

OREMUSSANCTUS: Apparently, reading and comprehending are not your strong points. Please revisit the article again and note the name of the sponsor of the bill, i.e. the one being thanked by David Mark. Well, in case you missed it, let me assist you a little more by pasting the relevant portion here: “I want to particularly thank and congratulate Sen. Chris Anyanwu, the sponsor of the Bill for the passage for initiating the process of this amendment,’’ Mark said. Senator Chris Anyanwu - clearly representing your own side of the divide, now feel free to spew your bigotry (against your own). 1 Like |

bushdoc9919:. Bills are formulated after sounding out those who will vote on it (and majority are Northern Muslims) that increases the chances of it being passed. Perhaps left to those Arewa people, it could be 5 years old sef. Makes no difference, serious countries mostly have 15 as a minimum. The age below which it is STATUTORY RAPE in serious countries. No excuse or mercy. I don't believe that an 11 years old Nigerian female kid is both mentally and physically more mature than British or Swedish ones. This is middle eastern template for Arewa people. Using Anyanwu is a mere decoy. Whatever she was before, she's now a NIGERIAN politician. And they care about themselves for the most part. It implies that you can molest a girl og 11 years and 1 second old and claim: she consented, she looks big like 18, she enjoyed it, she wasn't a virgin, etc. The lesser punishment for over 11 could mean an option of a fine like N10, 000. :oUp North they might even give it to the rapist to marry and avoid punishment. 1 Like |

If I say shame to the Senators, many are shameless people not worthy to be in leadership positions in saner climes. The rush to pass the bills was deliberate because of this and other hidden agenda in those bills. BokoHaram is now justified to sexually abuse our innocent immature little girls. 1 Like |

Do you people actually read any news on your own, or do you wait for sensationalists to feed you it to you on NL? The Senate on Wednesday passed the Sexual Offences Bill, 2015 which prescribes life imprisonment for rapists and those who have sexual intercourse with children under 11 years. Rapists and those who sexually abuse children would bag life imprisonment while other sexual offenders would also be sentenced to serve various prison terms. Other sexual offenders will be criminalized, but should you decide to sexually assault a child 11 years and under, your fate is sealed by the bill. It doesn't mean that the legal age of consent is 11, and it doesn't mean that pervs who assault individuals who are above 11 will not be criminalized. I will admit that the bill creates several loopholes, but the title of this thread is very misleading. 2 Likes |
