I'm wondering how people read that whole write-up and commented up to 3 pages and didn't spot the fact that the bill is limited only to the south.

Which means Male and female paedophiles in the north can and would still continue raping young infant boys.

Unbelievable!!!

Na’allah said, “The criminal code that sought to be amended is only applicable to the southern states. “The intent of this Bill is to make it on general application in Nigeria, and that is why we must commend Senator Tinubu for this.

I thought rape was sex without consent?
Looks like the legal definition has been updated.

That definition, unchanged since 1927, was outdated and narrow. It only included forcible male penile penetration of a female vagina. The new definition is:

“The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.”

For the first time ever, the new definition includes any gender of victim and perpetrator, not just women being raped by men. It also recognizes that rape with an object can be as traumatic as penile/vaginal rape.

Still a man cannot be PENETRATED by a woman.

Men are silent victims. Infact dying in silence just because the society see men as...

That is why LEGALLY it is impossible to rape men, although they can be sexually abused.
For rape to happen legally, there must be PENETRATION.
that's according to our current archaic rape laws written by ignorant people, not according to the true definition of what rape is - sex without consent.

If you have sex with a person (whether you penetrate them or force them to penetrate you or you perform MouthAction on them) without their consent (or a person not old enough, too drunk, or too drugged to give consent), it's rape. It's time for that to be reflected in our laws.

oga, the same US whose dept of Justice definitions you are quoting, recognizes male rape victims, and women have been sentenced for raping males (adults and minors).

Is this the only bill you have seen this year? Or are you deliberately ignorant? Perhaps you should follow the National Assembly on social media so you can keep track of its activities. Little bits of information would help shape your opinion of the legislature. That way you won’t sound like an ignoramus anymore.

1) A woman CONVICTED for murder of her aunt AND rape of her teenage male relative

2) A young woman CONVICTED of sexual intercourse without consent (but sent to a mental institution instead of jail)
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/woman-20-who-broke-exs-20786227

Note that rape is a form of sexual assault, and some US states do not even use the term 'rape' for either gender.

raising awareness by educating ignoramuses who claim men cannot be raped.

If other men did the same instead of arguing blindly that they cannot be victims, our leaders (law makers especially) would eventually make laws that recognize men as much more than just perpetrators, and women as much more than just victims.

It’s because no one really cares about the news. It is a good gesture but it’s none of my business because I know no male or female whose faced the ordeal in life. If this was one of those made up romance topics this thread will hit ten pages.

GistWorld:
The Senate has taken the second reading of a bill seeking to remove gender restrictions in the offence of rape and related matters.

If passed, the bill will formally recognise men as victims of rape as applicable.

The bill also seeks to remove the statute of limitation on defilement, while it also seeks increased punishment for kidnapping.

Introduced by Senator Oluremi Tinubu (APC-‎Lagos Central) at the Senate plenary on Tuesday, the SB2 is “A Bill for an Act to amend the Criminal Code Act CAP C38 LFN 2004 to delete the Statute of Limitation on defilement, increase in punishment for the offences of kidnapping, remove gender restrictions in the offence of rape and for related matters, 2019 (SB. 2).”

In response, Senator Bala Na’allah (APC-Kebbi South) expressed support for the bill, but noted that the amendments to criminal code being sought are limited in application to southern states.

Na’allah said, “The criminal code that sought to be amended is only applicable to the southern states. “The intent of this Bill is to make it on general application in Nigeria, and that is why we must commend Senator Tinubu for this.

“The issue of rape has been a very difficult provision in our statue and dates back to the English Law.”

Also speaking in support, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha (PDP-Taraba South) said, “I think this is a bold step in the right direction. I think this is quite commendable.”

is there such nonsense like a law being limited to only the southern states
Aside that this bill is long overdue...Just this last week, four ladies raped to death a guy in my street. He was drugged and bleeped
They were arrested and later released cos the law doesn't recognize the offense they committed

that's likely because Nigeria has two sets of laws governing crime - the Penal Code of Northern Nigeria (inspired by sharia laws) applicable in northern states, and the criminal code that applies everywhere else.

This nation is a long-expired contraption.
Re: Senate Bill Recognising Males As Rape Victims Passes Second Reading by McPizzle(m): 1:26pm On Nov 27, 2019
bigfrancis21:
My only issue with this bill is the removal of statute of limitations. Even in more advanced countries, statute of limitations exist for a reason due to changing laws over time, thus what may be legally or socially permissible 30 years ago (socially permissible yes? Morally right it may not have been) may be outlawed today, thus people should not be indicted from periods when certain things were permissible. It would be similar to jailing a 115-year old grandfather for partaking in slavery in the late 1800s when it was legally allowed but banned today.
The inclusion of men in the bill may serve as a catalyst to gather male support to ensure the passage of the bill.
The statute of limitation only removes the barrier on years within which an action can be brought against an accused for an alleged wrong, I suspect your fears are unfounded because the bill if passed into law most probably, won't have a retroactive effect which means the intended changes will only apply to cases that happen after the commencement of the act.
