ETHICALLYrlght:
I think Nigerian Law regarding marriage of young people is quite different from American Law.

There are basically two legal systems in the country concerning the issue of marriage- Sharia in the North and the marriage system in the south.

The marriage system in the south is further divided into customary marriage and statutory marriage. A subsequent statutory marriage cancels the effect of customary law marriage on a couple but if there's is no statutory marriage, customary marriage is supreme.

The age in Sharia is "puberty" which is open to different interpretations. A Nigerian Governor married a 13 year old Egyptian in the last decade and it was held to be within Sharia.

The age for customary law marriage is also presumed to be puberty. It is open to interpretations.

The Marriage Act which is in force in Nigeria which is a replica of the Old English Marriage Act we inherited from our Colonial masters put the age of consent at 21. According to the Act, if any of the couple is below the age of 21, they can marry only with consent of their parents or guardians.

The interpretation of the statute is still open but at least it gives an age where Marriage cannot be done without consent. It does not state the age which couples below the age of 21 should not marry even if their parents gave consent.

Do you not think there's a huge lacuna as to what constitutes pedophilia child molestation in Nigeria?

From a logical stance, I think pedophilia child molestation within the realm of Nigerian law connotes:

1. Carnal knowledge of a person who hasn't attained puberty yet. (Anything with a child under 12 is pedophilia child molestation)

2. Carnal knowledge of a teenager under 18 who has attained puberty but is not your spouse. (If the child attains puberty, pedophilia child molestation depends on whether the child is married or not).

The second connotation implies that since puberty is the mark for eligibility for marriage in Nigeria and it is legally implied that for marriage to be complete it must be consummated that carnal knowledge of ,for instance, a 14 year old married girl is not pedophilia child molestation.

While typing I realized that "all child molesters are pedophiles but not all pedophiles are child molesters".

I'd say child molestation is a matter of law and can be solved through sanctions/punitive measures while pedophilia is a medical/psychological phenomenon that can be corrected through counseling/ psychotherapy.

The law does not prevent publicly criticizing pedophiles because it is a term in psychology but it is libelous to shame those who legally marry children as child molesters.

Legality doesn’t equal morality and carnal knowledge of a child in any age range is pedophilia EOD.

Some people are 15 without achieving puberty. does that mean the law changes with each person it encounters? Had a friend who didn’t get her period until 16. There’s a reason why 18 is the biological cut off because by that age most children would have achieved puberty.

And 18 is even young. It’s just the age where we can tell most pervs to back off without them throwing a hissy fit. Yet they still do

A 15 year old boy has been accosted trying to lodge in a hotel room with 2 girls and another guy.

The girls run away as the voice behind the camera tries to question them.

We all watched the Video, the Girls did not run away, they just WALKED AWAY!

There is a difference between running away (which presumes guilt or fear) and walking away, (which presumes being disinterest with who was calling them back or just ignoring the caller!).
The latter will be my own view.
When you report events, please do so accurately and dont try to embellish it, for your own interest.

Read the decision of the supreme Court of America in Kansas v. Hendricks.

The Apex American court thinks that sexual offenders against minors should be tested and should be committed to medical care if they suffer from the mental illness.

A good analogy is drug addiction. No one is arrested for drug addiction but instead checked into a rehab. However, if someone is caught with hard drugs, she'll be incarcerated.

Pedophilia is a medical condition. It is sexual offences that are punished. Most pedophiles need psychotherapy. A drug addict abuses cigarettes and alcohol which are legal because he suffers from a mental condition but if he is afraid of the law, he will never abuse a prohibited substance. This explains why some men in Nigeria marry underaged girls because it is legal.

I share the opinion of the supreme Court of America to hospitalize some pedophiles who are imprisoned. However, I believe if pedophilia is given more attention and rehabilitation of pedophiles is done at the early stages we will get preventive justice by drastically reducing the number of young people who get sexually abused instead of waiting for them to abuse young people and treat them in prison.

Cococandy, is this your moniker?


It starting to piss me off.

No this is not me.
Trust me if I need to say something to anyone, I say it bold faced or I ignore them. It’s never with a pseudonym. Person dey big pass something and there’s no one on NL that I can’t tell what I want to. Either that or they are insignificant warranting the IGNORE button.

Lanretoye:
Its just decadence not crime.

"just decadence" , a 15year old was caught kidnapping children for some adults,i guess that too isn't a crime. Decadence leads to serious crime and criminals become monsters in the society if left unchecked. As responsible adults,we just have to do the needful and stop justifying immorality unless of course we're prepared to pay the price.

No you didn’t answer my question. lol
And no I don’t think that person is ethicallyr.

It’s a 2009 account so it’s obviously old. Doesn’t seem like a pseudonym for an active account. According to ethically (if he’s saying the truth) he’s a youngin in his early 20s. So he would have been 10 years old or so when that account was created. In fact that account is 3 years older than my account I joined in 2012.

You have to broaden your search to figure out who it might be that’s that pissed off with you.

I have to go on record to say that I do not condone or endorse the violent rhetoric of that person.

I ACTUALLY KNOW WHO IS CONTROLLING THAT MONIKER.


I WILL SOON MENTION YOUR NAME AS I USUAL DO.

If only you knew I rescheduled my alarm from 4:30 am to 5:30 am to read and understand pages of tasking drafts before 7:am because I had this conversation then you wouldn't bother to mention me for stupid reasons again.

I remember how ugly I was between 12 and 16. I wore ill fitted skirts (grandma skirts) bulky shoes, I had zero style or swag. My hair always frizzed, and my edges were static standing strong.

This generation have everything on point. Their hair styled, eyebrows on point, jewellery, latest shoes, latest fashion, latest phones. Could this be the reason for this level of confidence? Imagine having the guts to want to rent a hotel with boys!

No. My specific question is what do you think of sexual relationships between an under 18 teenager and an adult over 25. I used those specific numbers to avoid ambiguity, so one is clearly an adult and one one is clearly a child.

Is it wrong or right?
