What do you think of this? Is he making sense?

For the record Prof, nobody has an ethnic bias against the Fulani. I for one don't have such but I am just against their anachronistic, archaic and outdated belief in nomadic rearing of cattle that is causing social tension between these Fulani nomads and the aborigine farm owners. This culture of theirs is against natural justice, equity and good conscience. Culture is dynamic, so it is high time they changed to ranching and bought cattle feed. This mentality of owning all land by Fulani will always bring hatred to this tribe. Very natural.

Are these miyetti people mad ni? They have an over bloated ego. He who Gods want to kill, they make mad first. If these people are still thinking of conquest as if they were in the era of uthman dan fodio in this 21st century, something must be wrong... Las las war go happen, las las Nigeria go fall apart. We are ready General is ready here to liberate our people.

These pastors are very smart, if their prophecies didn't come to pass, they would say the congregants do not have faith or better still they may likely say God changed his mind as he does in the stories of Jonah and Nineveh and others in the Bible. They really have a nice manipulative weapon to always use against the gullible sheep.

So ur definition of rape is subjective and hinged on a possibility of a court being liberal and not based on judicial precedence of statutory interpretation, right. In other words, ur definition is based on sentiment, right. Should I say "no wonder u couldn't rely on any authority"? Oh yes, I should; the temptation to say so is just too great not to fall to. It's no sarcasm tho. It's just that ur position on this is very welcome, howbeit far from the our lex. What u canvass is very similar to the definition of law by Oliver Wendell Holmes. However, the courts as u should know are no legislature and so are tied by the statutory provisions. There is this English authority that keeps nudging me. I read it in 300 level. The English court threw out the case of rape allegation on the basis that there was no intimidation as the intimidation in issue was economic in nature and not as envisaged by the criminal laws. I would go thru my home library, where a lot of my old books (including my university notes) are and yeah, I still keep em cos they represent my early days of learning the ropes.
BTW, I've seen hooded dudes pose as monks and did better than monks.

Thank you my learned friend for your submission, and I also am a practising lawyer in Lagos. You just quoted * liberal * and concluded it meant subjectivity. So anything liberal cannot be objective . I used liberal there to mean judicial activism and it didn't also mean legispulation where judiciary would think it is empowered to make laws rather than interpreting law. If you know quintessential lord Denning and if you know our principle of negligence was created in Stevenson v. Donoghue ,you will definitely know the importance of liberalism or judicial activism in jurisprudence. Lord Denning as a judicial activist did not create new law, but construe extant law extensively to incorporate reforms and cover many legal situations. My learned friend , I cited authorities. But you failed to react to that. Please consult that your note and get back to me . Read my previous comments, read section 357 of the criminal code again, and get back to me. Thanks for citing Prof Wendell Holmes, a legal realist " the prophecy of what the court will do in fact and nothing more pretentious is what I mean by law".

i am not a lawyer could av called you my lenied colleague abi OGa mii .. but you're forgetting something here since your arguement is that force or struggle is not sancrosant to establish a rape case .... then why partition men as rapist n women as victims or are you insinuating only women can be raped, molested or threaten ..cannt a female boss molest her driver. do you know what angels do.
Rape is evil,any gender can be @ the recieving end, men only have upperhand incases of force so let speak against unisex rape generally not on partition.. i have a handsome son tew... NL aunties keep off o!!

It is trite that men or boys cannot be raped since you don't have what it takes to be raped. If you see section 357 of the criminal code act, the section that defines rape, some key words are used " girl" or * woman* , "unlawful carnal knowledge***" that phrase " unlawful carnal knowledge" is an euphemism for * vagina*. Sir do you have a vagina or pussy. Most importantly, the most important ingredient or elements of offence of rape to prove by the prosecution in order to succeed is PENETRATION. A man cannot be penetrated and even anal Penetration is no Penetration. In a situation where a woman abuses or violates a man or a boy sexually, she cannot be charged with rape but she can be prosecuted for indecent assault or sexual assault. So men are so protected.

DavidEsq:

U are wrong. Look at the section on rape and see what intimidation means. This one is economic in nature. In that th security of their voluntarily undertaken jobs (which they could also voluntarily resign from) was at risk. That's not the definition of intimidation in criminal law in this context.

.
Let me start by saying "cucullus non facit monachum" meaning " a hood does not make a Monk". I would have said or presumed that by your name, you must be a lawyer. I will like to ask you a very elementary question in the law of contract, what are the factors that vitiate consent ? I am sure you would say undue influence, duress and fraudulent misrepresentation. They are not different from the law of consent the defendant must canvass to raise an atom of doubt in raising a defence of his innocence against a charge of rape. By virtue of section 357 "... Intimidation of any kind..." is open to a wide interpretation that includes promises to seek advantage , undue influence, duress and even fraudulent misrepresentation that is later specially listed in the definition . mind you, you would have been more right if you had said to prove rape under economic circumstances such as in the case of industrial or labour relations is difficult. Nevertheless, if the court will be liberal it is still rape since you cannot tell me that a female job candidate will choose being unemployed because of a sex with a sex predatory boss that seeks for sex ,even though the said candidate had been tested and qualified for the job. Your opinion would have been right and would have held true of a lecturer that would fail student if she didn't have a sex with him. Would you say a female student should rather fail honourably rather than accepting the sex offer of the lecturer.? Or do you think lecturer- female student relationship is not economic in nature?

Read section 357 of the criminal code act cap c 38 again, and come back to explain what you understand by " ... Intimidation of any kind". Thanks.

Lolz, you are welcome my Lady.

Odinz:


I remember going through the law and seeing this. An eye opener I must say. The part that struck me most was/is that according to the law, a male cannot be raped. Or am I wrong?

You are right sir

Duggedised12:
thanks for clarifying. Like you rightly said ,a lot of people including me were ignorant of the bolded,although I knew it was wrong to intimidate a person to have sex just didnt know it was catogrised under rape. This is very educative,a lot of women have been raped and don't even know it and some men have been rapist and don't even know it either.

You are welcome sir

Asides housewives ,are there really women who say yes to sex, even when they give the green lite don't they still do shakara ... you av sex with that gurl flirting with you all along then the next morning she is acting shy .. making you feel you acted alone & took advantage of her ... is that not what all these gurls do,even olosho wey collect money do not give consent freely.
In nigeria we really need to watch or revise what we will define as rape if not every man planning to be a brand will be a target someday... unfortunately these gurls donnt plan to go court its just let me tarnish his image stunt. oga in the process of trying to appear as a gentleman online most of you are becoming a sissy

Baba I am not a Sissy, I just stated a principle of law under the criminal code. However, you had a point that girls may abuse it and tend to always use as a weapon against the celebrities. I sincerely agreed with you if you look at the UK that we received our laws from particularly criminal law and also the USA that have a similar common law relics with us, you will see that what you said always hold true. See Akon, Michael Jackson, Neymar etc have battled with this sex scandal. That means it is still a civilised trend, however, if you are a celebrity and you have a lot to lose ,tread cautiously to avoid a smear campaign against your reputation. If possible, draw agreement to have sex, let her speak her consent on a phone recorder before any sex since that is what saved neymar. However, the law, for me , is a good one as it will protect women against rape. I also have a daughter.

Duggedised12:
I doubt that rape accusation will fly in court, its the same scenario where bosses sleep with their staff with the threat of loosing their jobs,a beg lawyers should clarify .

The major challenge is the great deal of ignorance of criminal law of rape. Even many educated rape victims do not even know when they were raped, and majority view rape as "only sex by force " where the victims must show evidence of bruises, black eye , swollen faces etc. Where victims claimed rape and they cannot show evidence of being battered, even the Police officer taking the report of such incident by the victims would be the one that would chastise the victims first by asking these questions " why did you go to his house alone if not for the fact that you want to be copulated with ? Are your panties torn? No bruises no sign of struggle ,that means you consent to the sex?. Nay the above notion about rape is very narrow in defining what Nigerian criminal law of rape envisages. By virtue of section 357 of the criminal code act cap c38, rape is defined " any person who has unlawful carnal knowledge of a woman or girl, without her consent, or with her consent , if the consent is obtained by force or by means of threats or intimidation of any kind, or by fear of harm, or by means of false and fraudulent representation as to the nature of the act, or , in the case of a married woman , by personating her husband , is guilty of an offence which is called rape." From this definition, it is deduced that where consent is obtained by intimidation of any kind such as promises of advantage, undue influence and duress may be factors thay may vitiate the seeming consent and make it a rape. For instance where a pastor told a female worshipper, if I pour my holy water, euphemism for sperm, on you, you will be healed of your blindness and the girl consents to have sex with the pastor, and after the sex she still remains blind, it is rape because of fraudulent representation and this is also an undue influence from pastor to his female worshipper. This goes for a male medical Doctor to his female patients, a male lecturer to his female student , a police officer who promises the wife of the arrested suspect " if I have sex with you I will release your husband", see a common law case of R. v. Williams where a choirmaster told a chorister (girl) that if I have a sex with you, your voice hoax and texture will be improved , the girl consented and had sex with him, lo and behold her voice did not improve. The House of Lord HELD that IT WAS A RAPE.

delishpot:
A friend of mine was into this nollywood shit in pH. She said when these top actors visit their producer in those days, he organises up comming actresses to warm their beds. Any girl that refuses is kicked to the background. Those guys are a sex cukt/syndicate. Many of these big male actors have slept with these struggling women. Although I wouldn't call it rape but still it ain't right. His wife knows about it too. The casting couch is real.

It is rape since consent was not freely obtained but induced by the influence on , promises, and intimidation of the victims by the assailant.

In a sane country, that pastor should be in jail, why would he declare somebody a witch contrary to criminal Code. Thanks madam Loven, you are true sense of humanity, God will continue to bless your humanitarian service .

No wonder, he is just a primate not a mammal

VRDroid:
Adam was a test-tube baby, and Eve was made from Adam's stem cells.

The original plan was to design an Androgynous being that can '3D print' their offsprings, but plan was changed to separate gender based on duality and binary nature of this Universe.

So, both of them have made their points clear. Oyhakilome preaches by the book accurately, but the book is wrong on many clauses and Simi is also right to feel her gender is being treated as dick helper and 3D printer and a cook.

These are not even necessary. Religions are mind control and revenue generating machine of the European Romans, and I am excited that the project has been hijacked by Pastorpreneurs.

Your head dey there... I like your last paragraph. Facts are sacred.

What is the unified marriageable age in Nigeria?

It depends on the marriage , if it is a marriage conducted under the customary law including Islamic law, the marriageable age is the age of puberty... The moment the girl had reached puberty I.e. menstruating ,she can be married.
Under marriage conducted under the statute viz. Marriage Act/Marriage Causes Act, the marriageable age is 21 years but 18 years old girl below 21 years may be married only with the consent of her father. See section 18 of marriage Act 2004; section 29(4) of the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended; see also the relevant provision of the Child Rights Act 2004. So there is no unified age of marriage in Nigeria.

Do you know what happened to him after the cartoon in one the best American Newspapers?
He was sacked by the Newspaper.

Did you hear what happened to the man who drew the monkey carton when prince Charles's son was born? Did you also read what happened to the canadian who drew cartoon of Donald trump and the immigrant that drowned? Now this are recent cases,that happened this year.

Lol you lots you come here ,type in the corner of your room with your false stories and spew your ignorance, sane country indeed .

You don't seem to know what "ingenious" means .Let me educate you a little, do you know that in a sane country, that editor to catch a law suit from pastor fatoyinbo? Go figure.

I hope you also remember the bloodshed that happened in the northern part of this country some years ago over a cartoon that was drawn in far away Denmark? If you still think this carton was ingenious after this, then you are very dull.

Unless you are disingenuous and dull, or unless you are a bigot that is when you will fight a caricature that paints vividly the desecration of church by a charlatan that the cartoonist veritably painted well. Exactly my point, you people are making it to seem as if this cartoonist/ columnist attacked the church by that cartoon, that this notion or belief I want to clear. And if you accused the cartoonist of being biased or that he committed a reporting prejudice by siding with one party. You are right. The innuendos are for biodun fatoyinbo not for the church. Fatoyinbo has a cause of action if he has integrity to sue a great deal of people ranging from Timi, busola, and this cartoonist for libel... So don't make it a Church attack. Jerubaal- let the gods fight for themselves. Let him fight for himself to clear his name.

Ibusho:


What right does the editor have to paint Biodun Fatoyinbo as a bad Christian. How can you be one sided on an issue and call yourself a professional journalist. He deserves what he got, can they do that with the Quran in the face of the Alfa's molesting their students? Please think before you write.

In trying to show intelligence and sophistication, you simply showed ignorance. Is France not one of the countries you’re referring to as sane? When Charlie Hebdo was attacked with about 12 people killed, others injured on the first day alone with numerous other attacks, murders and hostage situations on subsequent days, was it not because Mohammed was depicted in a humorous way in a cartoon? A cartoon of Mohammed laughing with the caption “a hundred lashes if you don’t die of laughter ‘ or something like that caused so much death and destruction. the whole world was against the Islamist group not because they cared about the cartoon but because of the horrific way the extremists showed their displeasure. People should learn to respect what others hold in high esteem instead of desecrating what they don’t understand or agree with. The Phnch staff understand that Christians won’t get wild and kill them that’s why they had the audacity to come up with that cartoon.

I will allow you to continue to wallow in your ignorance, since you don't seem to understand my position. Religion, opium of masses, is the least of our problems. Next!!!

Another mu.mu talking so that's the best cartoon he could come up with just to portray his point?

He was so ingenious with that artistic cartoon, it best captured the column. In a sane society, that is devoid of dunces like you, the man and his literary material will be appreciated not sacked. Let's forget religion for a while, it is least of our problems.

Why the sack? Very unnecessary
... Nigeria is supposed to be a secular state . the cartoon is very illustrative of the situation at hand. It illustrates desecration of the temple of God. In the column, he cites ezeugo also known as Reverend king and other charlatans. He vividly paints the picture like a good artist that he is. With his paintbrush, he draws a caricature of a drunk Biodun Fatoyinbo emitting urine on the holy book. The innuendo is not for the church as a whole but directed to that drunk charlatan, Biodun fatoyinbo who emits his urine on the holy Bible. He does not draw that emitter to be the sole true practice of Christianity. This is a lampoon on an individual not the whole Church. I am sorry for this nation, we are so hypocritical. God , if you be, burn Nigeria, for our iniquities should be more than Sodom and his Gomorrah.

Correction. The age of consent in Nigeria is 11. See the link below for details.

https://www.ageofconsent.net/world/nigeria

Brother, there has always been a controversy about age of consent in Nigeria since different relevant statutory and legal authority stipulates what they perceive age of majority or age to give capacity. In summary, under customary law .I.e. Islamic law and non islamic customary, age of majority ( age to give consent) is the age of puberty see abake v. Labinjoh, under marriage act and marriage causes act, age of majority is 21, as a girl of 18 years who has not attained 21 can only marry by the consent of her father, under the constitution 1999 by virtue of s. 29(4)(a) and under the child right act ,age of majority is also 18. Be guided, please don't be misled. Under criminal law, it is 16 years for sex related offence see section 363 of the criminal code act 2004

divine2288:
u don't have sense.. haven't u seen a 15yrs o having sex?

Does it make it right and legal if the minor girl or guardian alleges rape after the sex. Read the sex scandal of Akon etc. The only defence the defendant could veritably muster is that he lacks the knowledge of the age of the girl as she showed maturity of someone of age of majority, her composure, dresses could have made a representation that the girl is definitely not a minor at that time. The test must be an objective one- a reasonable man standard. Idiot, stop being a pedophile or maybe you should just stop wallowing in your ignorance. Idiot

robosky02:
Even jss3 13 years give consent to class mate

Although in the instance you just cited would the law not be unreasonable to hold the male child for statutory rape at the instance of the parents or guardians of the female child ?
However , this situation is totally different from this case, -seeming consensual sex between an adult male to a girl of minority age. It is always rape, by applying mischief rule, the law intends to protect the minor girls from being sexually taken advantage of by the adults. Therefore, a minor girl does not have a capacity to give consent unless she is married under the customary law.
