MuchAdo:
Should I show you the supreme court judgment

LilMissFavvy:
Listen, I have seen plenty comments advising that she gets the police involved for rape of a minor, and than abort the pregnancy. If you involve the police in a rape situation, and then still abort the pregnancy, you and your sister will end up having issues with the law. That evil man will use it against you, remember abortion is a criminal offense in your country.

ThothHermes:
Her life will never be normal if she aborts.

munstaqq:

Please what should we do? We are all we've got and nobody to turn to to help us fight this battle. What should we do?

Thank you.

Acidosis:


You can make your recommendations sha without forcing a rape case just because she's 16.

There are many 16/17 year old in Universities, majority of them have had at least 1 or 2 boyfriends.

munstaqq:


Hmmm... Won't it affect her? Our fear is death.

munstaqq:

We were mad at the bad news and I couldn't think straight enough to ask the doctor.

boogie2:
Very simple. Go to the ministry of women affairs or the ministry in charge of children's welfare.
Report the case. If you choose to keep the baby which i prefer. He will be made to pay monthly upkeep money to the child.
BUt it is important that you report the case to the police immediately. So at least it will be on record.

almarthins:


If that man has good fanancial backing police go change the case against this poor guy. If u no get money no go station o! If u come go station without a lawyer or important personality. Na you police go come frame again.

You can not understand because u never enter police station before. Those guys in uniform are criminals. Police is not ur friend get it

Romanoff:


If their boyfriends are under 18, it's not rape. But if they are over 18, anyone willing to prosecuted can site rape.

Kobojunkie:
It doesn't matter since what I posted clearly shows you that the adoption of the act is done at the state level.

boogie2:
Na lie. Please go to station. You have nothing to loose.
The police are corrupt but not that wicked. Report to the police and then immediately proceed to the ministry in charge of childrens welfare in your state.

The place is normally run by civil servants them go use that man eye see pepper.
I have experience i am no just saying.

Kobojunkie:
I have been to police station as a child. Wrote my report and all, this after engaging in a fight with an older woman in our compound. Long story short, not everyone is afraid of these things. And not everyone is ignorant of their rights in the same Nigeria.

MikeMicheal:
That 50yr old man don enjoy tight virgin pussy

almarthins:
Okay! May be den the hyenas have not taken over or probably lucky to have one good fellow in ur defense. Nigerian police no get shame or understand law. Under habis capus act, any one arrested understand suspicion shouldn't be detained beyond 24hrs but here police go arrest you for road for no just cause. Come put behind bars for one week. Until u pay bail.

MuchAdo:
Supreme court cases start from the state level

Amotolongbo:
That is bad.

Getting the traditional rulers and the police informed on this will be the appropriate step to take.

I am talking my own mind now. If you quote me to say nonsense, thunder will strike you.
“I will take the girl to the hospital and sign to terminate the pregnancy”..

Who is going to take care of the baby, the young innocent girl or the old irresponsible foolish man?
Having the baby is an eternal stain on the girl.

Kobojunkie:
Doesn't change what I stated... so long as it has been adopted as Law at the state level, it is the Law in that state.

munstaqq:


Hmmm... Won't it affect her? Our fear is death.

Kobojunkie:
Enough of the fear mongering already.

MuchAdo:
But the state judges are not relying on it either And when the appeal gets to the supreme court, the child rights act won't be referenced...

kennyhai:
Bro, d only pesin wey fit advice u right now na only Jesus Christ!
All these men wey dey give u all kind bad advice, dem even dey pretend say d tin dey painful & dem dey try sympathise, give dis men same opportunity dem go rush ya sister pass dis ya distant relative.

Dear Nairalanders,

With a sad and heavy heart, I'm writing to seek your advice and/or recommendations.

My mum is late. She died 2 years ago and since her demise, everything has turned left for us - her children. We were deserted and left to fend for ourselves by our uncles, aunties, and other relatives that we thought were with us when my mum was alive. My dad is still alive but he only pretends to care about us. I can't even remember the last time he has done something good for any of us. Our school fees, food, everything, were taken care of by my mum.

There is a 50-year-old man who we were later told is our distant relative. His house is a stone's throw away from our house. When I was at home, I used to run errands for him, like going to the market to buy things for him. So it was normal. He used this same method on my sister. He took advantage of my sister's naivety and impregnated her. She's barely 16 and I swear to God, she has not known any man until this bastard did this to her. He even ran away from home and plan to come back when tensions are low.

Note: we left her in the village with my dad and my brother. We, the elderly ones left the village to hustle in the city. We have not settled and we couldn't afford to take them with us.

Please I need your advice. What should be our next line of action? He's 50 and won't marry my sister. There is also a high tendency that he won't even take care of her and the baby.

Please what should we do? We are all we've got and nobody to turn to to help us fight this battle. What should we do?

Thank you.

Kobojunkie:
One state judge does not represent all state judges. And since you know the act is law in your state, you have every right to demand it be recognized by the judge yourself.

If you don't want to, then that is your own.
