What of Reverend Father Ekule

Gerrout!

Nobody is sharing money anywhere!!

It's only 2 now....and we pray there won't be more...

The real threat to Nigerians are those returning from abroad with the "Tokunbo/Belgium' version of the virus. Thank God the airports have been shut...

The 'Nigerian used' version of the virus comes by being infected by someone with the Tokunbo version and it is not as deadly...

Unlike Ebola, people who have the 'Nigerian used' version by coming in contact with the 'Tokunbo' version of the virus are recovering. And some with the Tokunbo version in fact are also recovering.

So what is all the brouhaha about

Some people are about to cash out big time jor...

Hahahahahahahaha

Why na

Another returnee

I have watched the video.

She consented to the 'rape'...

It's even the Dorothy woman emphasizing that the sexxx was 'rape' and not the victim

Abacha is dead and may likely be in hell...

Diya is still alive and may likely make heaven...

This is all that matters...

Even piiggiiidioootts when not being mischievous would rather be a 'Diya' than an 'Abacha'...

See how Lola is making his life shine brighter and brighter.

He must be having the best time of his life.

And she is even far older...

Then let him be mistakenly sentenced to life...

@9jarealist

If you study the sexual offences bill of 2015 and criminal code act of 2014, you will discover they are similar only that the former covers girls from 11 to 18 while the latter covers girls from 13 to 16.

Hence, the need for the House of Reps to amend the sexual offences bill of 2015 to authoritatively and clearly raise the age of cons**t from 11 to 18.

It seems some people don't want Donaldoni to air his views. Anti spam BOT has been banning him anyhow and unfairly. The reason for his ban is not even being stated.

This is so unfair.

"Defilement of Under-aged Girls: What is the Verdict of the Supreme Court of Nigeria?

Hon. Justice John Inyang Okoro, JSC
The above notable and profound pronouncement forms part of the ipsissima verba of my lord, the Hon. Justice Okoro, Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria when he delivered the leading Judgment on Friday, 30th January, 2015 in the case of BONIFACE ADONIKE v. THE STATE (2015) 7 N.W.L.R (pt 1458) 237 at 266 paragraphs B-D. The case of Boniface Adonike (Supra) once more brings to the fore the duty on sentencing authorities to show in the application of the law that society abhors cases of defilement of young girls. The law on defilement of under-aged girls in Nigeria is provided in Section 218 of the Criminal Code, Cap. 42, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria. The section provides that “any person who has unlawful carnal knowledge of a girl under the age of thirteen years is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for life, with or without whipping”. Any person who attempts to have unlawful carnal knowledge of a girl under the age of thirteen years is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for fourteen years, with or without whipping. A prosecution for either of the offences defined above in this section must be begun within two months after the offence is committed. A person cannot be convicted of either of the offences defined in this section upon the uncorroborated testimony of one witness."

9jaRealist:
To be specific (as excerpted from the news story you posted), the Explanatory Note to the amendment reads:

“This bill seeks to amend sections 7(2), 7(3) and 7(4) of the Sexual Offences Act and to delete SUPERFLUOUS provisions which may be misleading....” (emphasis added).

18 years or less is already provided in the Act, and NOT a new provision(s) to be added....
The amendment merely seeks to DELETE ‘superfluous’ (as in unnecessary) language that may mislead some.
>

The bill, which passed the first reading on July 24, 2019, is titled, ‘A Bill for an Act to Amend the Sexual Offence Act 2015 and for Other Related Matters, 2019.’

If the amendment bill is passed by the House as proposed, and concurred with by the Senate, anybody younger than 18 would be categorised as a minor under the law regardless of religious, marital and other considerations.

Until the SUPERFLUOUS provisions are deleted, 11 remains the age of consent...
