The legal age for having sex in Nigeria is not 11 years as reported by some bloggers

Below is a screenshot of a portion of the sex offences bill passed recently by NASS, stipulating the punishment for defiling a child.

Note that a person has to make effort to determine that someone is up to 18 before having sex with them

Okay!!

Which fucktaaard said the Legal Age was 11?

This is the reason I don't like reading the constitution. Which one be: 11yrs or below, 12-15yrs, 16-18yrs? Why not say under the age of 18?

Relieved! I was really scared for the younger ones....Thank God

The topic hit front page then...

Its in sections, I don't know why they do it like that. If the punishment were different for different age groups, it would be understandable. But I don't know why, maybe for easy quoting

reading post of this kinds gets me worried for the younger ones.




meanwhile how would a man with God given common sense, indulge into having sex with an eleven 11 years old child...




pls was this bill passed based on islamic right or selfish intention?
