In the Nigerian Criminal Code, sexual assault, encompassing various acts like rape and indecent assault, is a serious offense with varying punishments depending on the specific act and circumstances, with penalties ranging from imprisonment to death.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
General Assault:
Section 351 states that unlawfully assaulting another is a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment for one year, unless a greater punishment is provided.
Assault with Intent to Have Carnal Knowledge:
Section 352 criminalizes assaulting someone with the intent to have carnal knowledge against the order of nature, making it a felony punishable by imprisonment for fourteen years.
Indecent Assault:
Section 360 addresses unlawfully and indecently assaulting a woman or girl, which is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for two years.
Rape:
While the Criminal Code doesn't explicitly define "rape" in the same way as a modern legal definition, it criminalizes sexual acts committed with force or against a person's will, which would be considered rape under modern laws.
Treason:
Section 37 addresses treason, which includes levying war against the State to intimidate or overawe the President or Governor of a State, and is punishable by death.

It is the African way, part of which makes us communal forming bonds to make good community and society, which also caters for our mental health.

Throw away this communal lifestyle, and we will begin to live like robots just as the western society. And of course, our mental health will suffer greatly and depreciate even if we are in the midst of abundance.
You're very correct!

This so called "modernization" makes life so meaningless and unenjoyable! I wish we could go back to how our ancestors lived their lives!!!

Like I wrote, don't say it to a female minor in the West.

Even back in Nigeria, more parents are becoming unreceptive to their female children who are minors being called "my wife" by adult males.

Even at that, there's no law in the West that makes such utterance a crime! It is distasteful and you could be looked upon as a weirdo with people avoiding you but usually that's where it ends.

Unless we are pretending, distinguished senator Natasha wouldn’t have accused the senate president of sexual harassment if he wasn’t trying to chyke her.

A man who has no control over his sexual desires is a problem in the workspace, especially when he’s in a position of power. This issue should be dealt with without wearing the cloak of party loyalty because today, it’s Natasha, it could be you or your relative tomorrow.
Xisnin:
A lot of ignorant fellow have been attacking Natasha for not reporting to the police bla bla bla.
The fact is any sexual offense outside rape is treated as minor issue in Nigeria.
Conviction is nearly impossible regardless of the evidence presented.
So, the only penalty lies in workplace disciplinary actions such as suspension, demotion or sack.
Ur head no correct.

Since when are accusations proof of anything?

The law is very very clear on accusations because the law says you are innocent until proven guilty and Natasha is yet to prove Akpabio is guilty.

Obiedun:
Honestly, in Africa most of the things you call sexual harassment are not seen in that way. I remember in my village in the past, an adult will call a small girl my wife in the presence of the parents and people will laugh it off. Some parents will even say we are expecting big bride price from you o. You see a young girl and you say my dear wife.
I don't really support this part but it's not that bad. My problem is that ladies and useless girls will wear nonsense and still be complaining of sexual harassment

You will never see a very decent woman who dresses especially like a good Muslim and will be complaining of harassment. It will not happen because they did not appear to be harassed sexually

https://x.com/Laurestar/status/1898305990988005772?t=qVdSi2FYrj9YlvIVVXIFAw&s=08[/quote]Used to work with this lady in a small office about seven years ago. We got hired on the same day—three of us in total—but the other guy quit not long after, so that kinda grouped us together by default. She had a car while I was still trekking, which meant most evenings after work, she’d drop me off at my bus stop on her way home. So yeah, we spent a little extra time together outside of work.

She later started an NGO, and I helped her out because I considered her a friend. That led to even more time together, eventually spilling over into a few non-work, non-NGO events—just the two of us. Now, to be clear, I had zero intentions because, honestly, she was way out of my league. But this girl? She'd always leave her space and come into mine to get physically engaged whenever we were alone in the office.

Then, out of nowhere, the boss casually mentioned wanting to install cameras in the office and called me in to ask questions about my coworker. At the time, I thought he was being paranoid. Never really considered myself sexually harassed, even though, yeah, her “engagement” was definitely sexual. But with all y’all butthurt MFs constantly bringing up sexual harassment, I’m starting to think… maybe I have been SH’d in the past. grin grin

Are you sure this people don't usually sit and plan these things to distract Nigerians from the real issues? If they are not distracting us with frivolities, they are pushing out fake stats—no real solutions to better the life of the people.

I hate it when ladies scream Sexual Harassment after any small joke. Toasting is not sexual harassment. Did he press your breasts, or did he press your brokos? If Akpabio asked Natasha out, all she needed to have said is, I am not interested. That is not any form of sexual harassment. Let us stop giving oxygen to nonsense accusations. If as a lady, you do not want any man to toast you, then remain in your father house or in your husband house. This world is a free world. Toasting a lady, even if she is married is not a crime. If it is a crime, point it out in the constitution let us see.

What else do you all expect from Natasha whose mother is from Ukraine? People who elected a Comedian as their President to lead them to War against Russia.

Nigerian ladies are harassed sexually everyday....some even see it as normal.

But with the way women are sexually objectified especially on social media, it's a BIG problem indeed.
