We first met during service year. He was twenty-three at the time, and I assumed it was a one-off thing. He never showed interest in females older than fifteen years of age and was quick to approach them whenever the chance appeared. The three girlfriends he dated in two years were eighteen, eighteen and nineteen years old respectively. I saw nothing wrong there until he told me they were the ones who made moves to secure his interest. Left to him he’ll rather date girls below eighteen. We lost contact eventually.

Last year we crossed paths again. He has two children with a grown woman, though they didn’t marry. He has all the time to chase any woman he wants. Unfortunately, he’s back to chasing romantic friendships with fifteen year old girls. Them swear for this person?! His Facebook profile is littered with underaged female friends.

I’ve tried to explain to him that he will face prison time if caught in developed nations. He doesn’t care and says Naija is a different ballgame. How do I tell this almost fifty year old man that children are forbidden?

From 10years above they are not children. Anybody above 10year can think and take decision.

TMTR:

Your father must be a paedophile and raped you when you were a toddler that's why you think all men are the same, don't worry, I am nothing like your paedophilic father

siofra:


I hope that little girl you adopted is safe from you

Because you're displaying signs of paedophilia.

I am nothing like your father, trust me she won't experience what you experienced growing up with your father

An average Nigerian is a peadophile, just read this comments

Some even said 10years old is an adult lol. And anypne that start mentruation is a woman
I started menstsruating at 8years old and had well developed breast at 10 even though I was short, men, teachers, were asking me out. Some even said they love me and would like to marry me
Nothing to be surprised of in Africa again, I didnt leave Africa cx of politicians alone, even the Nigerian citizens(mostly men) are stupid at default
Even now as an adult, men will confirm my age before they ask me out so that they dont wrongly woo an underage girl

But there in Nigeria, some people still think 10years are women. Im just laughing reading the comments, this same fools would want to leave Nigeria to countries that have pure beelief system

Since you think 10-15years old are women, and western culture is bad, pls stick with your Nigeria that share similar viewpoints with you, dont come here to spoil my beloved western world. I hope they close the border and never allow Nigerian men to enter. Females can enter

siofra:


Amen to the last paragraph.

All of them are paedophiles.

I've had Nigerian men (old men o) ask me out because they think I'm younger than 18.

@The bolded ,you are playing with jail-term....i am sure that is the same thing the lawyers of baba ijesha told him too ,and that gave him confidence initially that he will win the case...lol.....


The question that begs for an answer is; what is the age of Consent in Nigeria?

Several Laws have said several things. Most are not even direct, but we can interpret using the mischief rule. The mischief rule entails us using “the intention of the draftsmen”

According to Section 31 Child’s Rights Act the age of consent is 18 years.
According to Section 7 Sexual Offences bill, the age of Consent is 18 years.
According to Section 18 Matrimonial Causes Act, the age of consent is 21 years.
According to Section 221 Criminal code Act, the age of consent is 16 years.
According to Section 23 of the Cyber Crime (Prohibition,Prevention ETC) Act, the age of consent is 18 years.
Since there is no uniformed age per se, how did I arrive at 18 years?

The Child Rights Act is the most popular among the above mentioned legislations; this is because 24 out of the 36 states including the F.C.T making it 37 in Nigeria have domesticated it. Making it applicable in those states. And the Child Rights Act puts the age of Consent at 18 years.
Furthermore a community reading of the above mentioned Laws puts it at 18 years with the exception of the Criminal Code Act which puts it at 16 years.
Therefore it will suffice to state that the age of consent in Nigeria is 18 years. It is therefore a case of the majority willing the election.

It is imperative to note that Sex with anyone under this age is an offense. Let us consider one of the provisions of the legislations above. SEXUAL OFFENCES BILL, SECTION 7 –

Section 7 of the Sexual Offences Bill prohibits sexual intercourse with anyone between the ages of 0 to 18. It punishes offenders with life imprisonment upon conviction. That Section 7 states that;

A person who commits an act which causes penetration with a child is guilty of an offence called defilement.
A person who commits an offence of defilement with a child aged eleven years or less shall upon conviction be sentenced to imprisonment for life.
A person who commits an offence of defilement with a child between the age of twelve and fifteen years is liable upon conviction to imprisonment for life.
A person who commits an offence of defilement with a child between the age of sixteen and eighteen years is liable upon conviction to imprisonment for life.
It is important to state that Defilement and any other sexual offence should be reported on time. According to Section 218 of the Criminal Code Act, it enunciates that prosecution should start within two months after the sexual activity occurs. For various states and various Laws there might be no time bar, however the more hours and days roll by, the more difficult it is to prove a sexual offence. No matter how dark the experience might have been, it is of keen importance to make hey while the sun shines.
